Signal Messenger: Speak Freely

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

If I follow you, you can DM me here for my Signal username.

"Cautiously Optimistic" Garak Tailor (@comfortingmoo.online):

I forget there's 8k of you people.

I am a frick up.

Not spectacularly just the normal human amount.

If I ever get even an inkling you are coming at someone on here hot because of a parasocial idea of defending me I will block you.

Dont do this.

I'm probably in the wrong.

Again that's human

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

I am a frick up

I am Spartacus

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Translation: If your name really is John Smith (or if anyone else anywhere in the world shares your name, or ever lived in your home or apartment), learn to say the words "Do you have a warrant?" and "I invoke my right to remain silent, I want to speak to MY lawyer"

Jacob Harris (@jacobharr.is):

I just had a horrifying realization about Elon's grand plans here.

They're going to do a join on a several different data sets with different collection latencies, data quality practices, etc. They're going to act like all the data is perfect, the schema all match, there are no special cases...

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Also start saving your $

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Answer: without a trial. Under martial law. Under state of emergency declarations. Suspension of habeas corpus.

"How do you deport people without immigration judges?" Biggs told ABC News. "It's highly hypocritical. It runs contrary to what he campaigned on. He's making it more difficult to deport people from this country. It makes no sense at all."

Excellent

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

"I'm an ally to LGTBQ people BUT NEWSOM HAS A POI—"

XXX yer outta here

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

The line was "Do transgender people have human rights" and you stepped over it

Congrats on your moral injury.

Amber K Ⓥ (@a32k.bsky.social):

Right? People either have equal rights or they don't. As soon as someone places a qualification, condition, or exception on a group's rights they can no longer claim that they support that group.

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

I can understand why the Democratic Party doesn't want to hand the Republican propaganda apparatus video footage of Democratic Congresspeople acting like clowns

I don't understand why they didn't fully realise that principle by shunning the Felon in the first place, or leaving with Green.

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Department of State already did this since the late 1950's. We have a whole department for it, called the Central Intelligence Agency, powered by another department, the National Security Agency.

The difference now is they'll do it to Americans who don't kowtow, too

Hypervisible (@hypervisible.bsky.social):

Secretary of State plans to scan social media accounts of foreign nationals for "terrorist sympathies."

Bill Walter (@billwalter.bsky.social):

The idea is that our government should be responsible - if someone makes a decision affecting you, they sign off on it and they will be held accountable for "getting it right."

But they don't believe in accountability, and with AI, there is no one responsible for what is done.

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

That Which Was Twitter is now corporate / oligarchic / neoNazi / MAGA state propaganda.

It is literally the Telescreens from Orwell's 1984, vomiting 24/7/365 hatred & violent incitement

steven monacelli (@stevanzetti.bsky.social):

I have an alt account that only follows my main account. Posts from my main account never appear in my alt account's "For You" tab. What does appear is a bunch of posts from Elon Musk, and an account that has quoted Hitler and espoused Nazi ideology. Neat!

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Literally appointed Musk as the director of an independent agency without Congressional confirmation, no advice and consent

Shredding the Constitution

Greg Sargent (@gregsargent.bsky.social):

"Elon will do the cutting" is going to end up in a lot of legal briefs. Thank you for that one, Donnie

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Normaalia toimintaa vapaassa yhteiskunnassa

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

… I wonder whether they cast Christopher Walken in Dune (2024) because he was in Fatboy Slim's "Weapon of Choice"

Klovar: Pope Multiverse (@klovar.cc):

it is wednesday, my dudes

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Aaaaaaa^aaaaaaa^aaaaaaahhhhhhggggg!!!

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Someone — if we pull out of this — is going to make an entire career out of analysing what this one guy did right in running an independent agency

Kyle Cheney (@kyledcheney.bsky.social):

JUST IN: The head of the US African Development Foundation is suing Peter Marocco and DOGE — and he is describing in detail the standoff in which he blocked DOGE from entering the agency's offices.

When he says he's "restored free speech", this is what he's referencing. Rules for thee, not for he
