Tristan :ms_bisexual_flag:<p>Excellent, and rather worrying, blog from Carole Cadwalladr. An investigative journalist who I greatly admire. Best known for exposing some of the darker powers behind Brexit, and being greatly punished as a result: </p><p>'In 2016, I stumbled on a story about social media, data and ‘fake news’. That led me on a fantastical journalistic journey that turned into the Cambridge Analytica/Facebook scandal and a long-running investigation into Trump, Brexit and Russia. This was a story that was so far above my pay grade, it was unreal. I kept on hoping for a crack team of investigative reporters of the type that you see in the movies to turn up. They never did.</p><p>The one big lesson I learned was that investigative journalism = journalism + time. Keeping going is the key. I’m hoping that this newsletter will help in the mission. Help me keep me going.

The USA has constitutional law, statute law, regulations, procedures, norms against so much of what your new administration has been doing for the last two weeks.</p><p>And ... no one's doing anything about it. You may as well not have any prohibitions on any of it at all -- if you don't enforce the laws, they're not laws. If a tree falls in the forest, etc, etc.</p><p>Musk's monkeying with the money machinery is just the latest example - clearly exceeding any legal authority he might have, and ... crickets. The Democrats aren't even making a peep about most of this stuff.</p><p>Between the "stupid evil" nature of the threat and the existing systems, I thought that it would at least slow them down some, but it's like no one's even trying. I'm no longer confident that any significant remnant of the US experiment will exist in four years.</p><p><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/pessimism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pessimism</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/observer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>observer</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/law" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>law</span></a></p>
