Members of law enforcement agencies may have the ability to track the medical appointments of any patient of Kaiser Permanente (which owns Geisinger in Pennsylvania), without a warrant and without any probable cause, for any reason that may interest them.

Get ready for AI hallucinated mistakes in Social Security payments.
They’re planning on deploying dubious crappy AI in federal government systems.
Goldbug political disinformation ops from a government agency.
EPA press release: “Administrator Lee Zeldin Finds Gold Bars from EPA at Stacey Abrams’ Connected Group, Biden-Harris Ethical Red Flags” Actual news story: “Lee Zeldin likens Biden energy ‘scheme’ connected to Stacey Abrams to ‘throwing gold bars off the Titanic’” There were no gold bars involved at all that I could find out. The hypothetical […]
RFKJr continues to tell pandemic denial lies, resurrecting old canards of propaganda.
America needs a shadow government organized to scrutinize and investigate everything that happens within HHS.
Many will be following the politics, not the science.
Many scientists, medical professionals, and public health leadership followed the politics when it came to masks in the pandemic, or vaccines, and even were swayed by right-wing advertising that targeted liberals. And all this will only get worse now that the federal purse in the US is held out for those who are willing to sell out patients and public health.
Donald Trump is a remote worker at Mar-A-Lago.
Jesse Dollemore pointed out that Donald Trump is himself teleworking while his administration has been campaigning against telework for federal workers, he’s hanging out at Mar-A-Lago. I pointed that out last month, that Trump and also Elon Musk spent the campaign teleworking from Mar-a-Lago, not any office. Butts in seats downtown for “The Economy” (aka commercial real […]
Russia is asking Elon Musk for intel on dissidents.
I don’t think Elon Musk should have access to sensitive information…
The SAVE Act voter suppression bill will penalize people who’ve had a legal name change.
It definitely seems to target married people who’ve taken their spouse’s name or have had a legal name change for whatever reason.
Politicians are frightened into silence about violence that could be prevented by speaking up against the violence.
Republican politicians might be bullied into silence more than Democrats, but when the massacres start, tyrannical genocidaires do tend to go after moderates among their own first.
Cyber gang member now in government cyber ingelligence agency.
The guy who previously was fired for cyber espionage now officially works in government agency with access to US intelligence on worldwide cyberthreats.
The federal government is a poo circus.
February 10, 2025 From the American Bar Association – The ABA supports the rule of law. We have seen attempts at wholesale dismantling of departments and entities created by Congress without seeking the required congressional approval to change the law. There are efforts to dismiss employees with little regard for the law and protections they […]
People are not happy about the Elon Musk Trump administration’s various corruptions.
We’re not happy in Pennsylvania, that’s for sure.
The problems with MAID in context.
Human euthanasia cannot be considered as a standalone question, because like everything else, it has to exist in the worst societal contexts – some that are a reality right now.
No to data center corporate welfare.
Data centers don’t need to be subsidized as businesses that need them and will build them either way. There is zero justification for giving taxpayer giveaways to big tech companies and cryptocurrency tycoons to build their data centers. Boondoggle – Big Tech’s AI Blackmail State and local data center extortion is going national. Pat Garofalo […]
Pennsylvania out on a limb.
Do people even understand that federal funds are still frozen?
The cult of anti-woke.
I realize this is funny. But there’s a dark risk to the mechanism of this type of social contagion.
Yes, shadowbanning is real.
It’s probably happening on all the platforms, and most people probably don’t even know it’s happening to them.
Steve Bannon to the left of NPR on Medicaid cuts.
Medicaid funding is a foundation of a great deal of Northeastern Pennsylvania, but we can’t be complacent that our politicians won’t take marching orders from tycoons like Elon Musk. More uninsured people racking up medical debt they can never ever pay off never made anything better in America for those people or anyone else. NPR […]
Harming disabled people was always part of the project.
I’m really concerned because a lot of people I talk to, or see posting in forums or on social media, seem to not realize that disabled people are being targeted by anti-DEI and anti-woke policy. I keep seeing people saying things like that they’re stopping funding for disability services at schools and such because “transition” […]
