dashundchen commented on $3T flows through U.S. nonprofits every year   charitysense.com/insights... · Posted by u/mtweak

"It’s just that almost nobody looks."

Looking will blow up too many cushy deals for too much of the Powers That Be. A great deal of it is non-show "chairmanship" jobs for the family and friends of politicians. Legal bribes.

Feeding Our Future was another fine example of the shenanigans that go on in the US. Power Forward Communities was setup with $100 and captured $2 billion in EPA grants; caught while still doing only token work and not yet having been drained into the pockets of the favored. Abundant Blessings in CA was another nest of fraud; in criminal court right now.

Seems like you can't go more than a couple days without another non-profit scam mess hitting headlines.

Can you explain what you're referring to about Power Forward Communities? As far as I can tell it's a network of established non profits like Habitat for Humanity and Rewiring America, it seems they did more than token work in things like electrification before their grant was rescinded.

The actual org itself acts as an umbrella to coordinate work among the participating non-profits.

What a favorable headline. In reality everyone knows why the economy isn’t growing: Trump’s policies are paradoxically anti business given his public persona of this big bad amazing businessman. The guy failed at selling steaks in America. In America.

Oh don't worry, Trump and his cronies have been growing their wealth just fine.

His net worth has grown over $4 billion since taking office again, and that doesn't count his sons or other insiders that have been taking bribes and making insider trades.

The single most corrupt politician we've ever had, with a family full of criminals.

As always with these losers, the Biden Crime family was purely projection.

The mental gymnastics people are performing in order to convince themselves that this isn't the most corrupt administration the US has seen in modern history is staggering.

If a fraction of the level of skepticism these people applied to Hunter Biden and Hillary Clinton were applied to Trump and his cronies, they'd be demanding impeachment.

Seriously. These monarchists in this thread contort themselves in every which way to make sure their dear leader is always in the clear.

Shall we forget the shitcoin rugpull Trump has used to launder billions from foreign leaders?

The transparent bribes he's taken to his political org that have resulted in pardons for smuggler, drug lords and murderers?

The $200 million dollar contract Kristi Noem funneled to a company an operative of her for "marketing", formed days before the contract was awarded?

The secretary of labor using funds to throw herself a lavish birthday party and travel around the country?

Kash Patel flying himself and his girlfriend around on an FBI jet with an expensive security detail so they can party?

The fact that insiders are openly insider trading in crypto, the stock market, and these betting markets (both the illegal Venezuela and Iran invasions had huge extremely suspicious bets right before actions were taken).

This barely scratched the surface of this term alone. These fascists are so transparently corrupt.

its not just the tweets. this administration came out of the gate swinging with its extortionate demands. it claims the power to redirect, cancel, and append conditions to congressional funding. its has as its disposal all of the departments who ostensibly exist to serve the populace, and use them to file lawsuits, charge people with crimes, remove or establish new regulations or targeted taxes, all in service of whatever the president might desire.

Again and again with the fascists, the accusation of weaponization of government was really a confession of their own crimes.

Same with the Epstein files, same with the accusations of groomer while their ranks are filled with rapists, same with the Jan 6 insurrection, and likely this fall, accusations of election fraud and intimidation.

Very interesting! What's weird though is that the chinese do not even pretend: every single picture has asian-looking people generated.

But on the one picture that honestly looks like a man getting ass-raped by a horse, it's a white man.

I mean even in the west where you can hardly see an ad with a white couple anymore, they don't go that far (at least not yet).

White people are a minority on earth and anti-white racism sure seems to be alive and well (btw my family is of all the colors and we speak three languages at home, so don't even try me).

What are you talking about? 1. This is such a strange thing to fixate on and 2. whatever commercials I am seeing that aren't blocked still have white people in them

Then Reddit and almost all of social media went on to purge trump and pro trump content. The Donald was banned. Trump deplatformed across social media.
dashundchen · a month ago
2015 - 2016 reddit was exploited to hell by the_donald and other associated reddits. Things like coordinated up voting of a pinned post to get it to shoot up the front page, private chats to manipulate voting in a page.

There would be times when you would go to the r/all and half the page would be posts from them.

Not to mention a lot of the organized harassment a lot of the mods/power users of that sub caused in the years after. It was a mess.

Hey quick question, around January 2021, what would happened that caused Trump to be deplatformed? Anything stick out in your mind?

Electrical upgrades are almost always required, and price is more like 7k-9k around here. It's going to be seriously painful for a lot of people.

If you were in the market for an resistive electric heat pump, you likely had the service for it already. A heat pump version will almost always require less power.

In case anyone thinks you're kidding, Kash Patel's embarssing sychophancy includes publishing a election denial children's "book" portraying Trump as a king and himself as a hero.

51 senators voted to confirm this unqualified moron to lead the top law enforcement agency.

dashundchen commented on ICE using Palantir tool that feeds on Medicaid data   eff.org/deeplinks/2026/01... · Posted by u/JKCalhoun
loeg · 2 months ago
Why would Medicaid have the data of anyone who is at risk of immigration enforcement? The reported connection seems tenuous:

> The tool – dubbed Enhanced Leads Identification & Targeting for Enforcement (ELITE) – receives peoples’ addresses from the Department of Health and Human Services (which includes Medicaid) and other sources, 404 Media reports based on court testimony in Oregon by law enforcement agents, among other sources.

So, they have a tool that sucks up data from a bunch of different sources, including Medicaid. But there's no actual nexus between Medicaid and illegal immigrants in this reporting.

Edit: In the link to their earlier filings, EFF claims that some states enroll illegal immigrants in Medicaid: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/07/eff-court-protect-our-...

ICE has been harassing and following legal observers to their houses. They've shot and executed at least two people who were exercising their legal right to record their activity.

The FBI has been showing up at the door of some people who dare to organize protests against ICE.

Stingrays have been deployed to protests, ICE is collecting photos of protestors for their database, and has been querying YCombinator funded Flock to pull automated license plate camera data from around the country. Trump, Vance, Noem and Miller are calling anyone who protests them domestic terrorists.

It's pretty clear this isn't just about immigration, that this is about pooling data for a surveillance state that can quash the constitutional rights of anyone who dares to oppose the current regime. We've seen this story before.
