The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

Schumer should eviscerate the Senate…these scumbags understand one thing…getting punched in the face…does Schumer have the balls to punch these scumbags in the face?…I’ll believe it when I see it.
Unless they're barging into the building and forcing out the Hitler Youth then I DON'T GIVE A FUCK. Platitudes mean fucking nothing during a coup. Optics? Who the fuck cares about optics when a Nazi is making backdoors into the treasury net.
Performative bullshit for cable media hits and fundraising is not a start. If the Republinazis taught us anything, it's how to enter a federal building where they significantly outnumber the cops in front of the doors.
And food, and a room, and someone to take care of our cats, make sure our tub doesn't flood? Just because I'm not there doesn't mean I can't tell our REPRESENTATIVES to do their SWORN DUTIES to protect this collapsing Republic.
The difficult part is Muskrat’s getting enabled. By the Republican majority via inaction, and Diaper Don. The courts and law enforcement are gonna be difficult to get assistance from too.
I want action too, but blind action would likely cause more problems now, and more roadblocks later.
Anytime who wants to challenge a government with force and not optics needs to bring guns and be prepared to take on the entirety of the state security forces. That is not something this crowd is equipped to do!
I don't actually know if they have legal standing to go into the building because there is a whole lot of case law on the authority of the legislature to investigate the executive branch and it's not obvious that they can actually, legally, do that.
if a dem got shot protecting the treasury from the world’s richest man that would be the coolest thing a dem has done in my entire life, are you kidding me
“Protecting the treasury” How?
How can they protect it with their bodies realistically? Once the political violence starts in DC, it starts everywhere. Do you have family & friends you’ve chosen to sacrifice? Is your position acceleration?
yeah i could spare a few cousins at least, maybe one of my siblings. the worst one. but i’m gonna need a senator to die bravely in a heroic pitched battle in exchange. none of this representative crap. upper chamber
Literally all they can do right now is messaging because THEY ARE THE MINORITY. Hill Republicans are the ones who have the power to stop Trump and need to use it.
It’s the weekend but you can still call the Capitol Switchboard and leave messages for our Congress Members. We the People can do this! Keep calling, it’s making a difference. 202.224.3121 🥄🥄🥄🥄
#wethepeople #goodtrouble
fuck schumer, he just likes hearing the cheers. he's no longer a serious politician. he's done nothing for dems in the last 2 weeks except send out infuriating tweets. he's enraged our own base, instead of fighting for us
Everyone in every state call your house reps and your senators to donate their money or some of it to the two seats in Florida and the one Seton New York so we can take the house by April fools Day
You should get the full clip for his speech + failed attempts to start up 2 different chants, and then see him make a hasty retreat as an organic, "Shut Down the Senate!" chant begins in the audience.
Bob Dole said he loves media attention in '95; watching no one be interested was refreshing.
If this keeps going on, that will happen. I would pretty much guarantee it. If you're pondering the idea of it happening and so am I, I bet there there are many more like us, and many who would actually have the guts to do it.
We need about 100 times the size of this crowd. It needs to spread across all of DC and in every capitol and in front of the office of everyone in Congress Republicans and Democrats alike. These crowds need to get larger, not smaller, and they need to be much louder.
Stop wasting time in
scamfirmation hearings for waste of time nominees.
A wife abusing drinker with no relevant experience for DOD?
A brain damaged anti vaxxer for Health Sec?
How nice of House and Senate Democrats to show up in droves.
On Tuesday.
This bullshit started on Friday night. Where were House & Senate Democrats then? Did they at least contact whatever law enforcement agency has jurisdiction on Friday, to stop the illegal access?
No? Huh.
Watch AOC’s live. Trump waited until they were on planes to be in their districts talking to their constituents before dumping this. Always look to his timing.
OK, so they weren't in DC on Friday night. Did the planes stop flying? Where were they Saturday? Sunday? Monday?Wouldn't protecting their personal information (and government data security) be more important than talking to constituents?
They had gone to recess. This coup was timed while they were all going back to their home states. It takes time to organize. I think Tuesday is pretty good. Tbf
So tRump and Musk outsmarted them? Again, Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon was raising a fuss about this on Friday night, but he was the *only* Dem I saw responding to the illegal access. No one else was speaking out. As individuals, they didn't need to be organized,they just needed to say, "This is wrong."
Alejandro - I can't find video ANYWHERE of the CROWDS. I want to see "We the People" not the stump speeches. If people don't have bluesky, they can't open your video when I post it on Facebook. Is this on youtube somewhere?
They are failing to acknowledge that when a despot seizes power, they don't willingly give it up. If they don't put a stop to this, there won't be any "going back."
Muskrats are cool because they have /vertically/ flattened tails (technical term is "laterally compressed"; compare to beavers with tails that are horizontally flattened). Helps with swimming stability!
All creatures great and small would oppose Musk if they knew what he was*. Muskrats would understand they are no relation and its more ordinary rats who need better treatment.
...except maybe Lions. Nuts to them though. They get Disney tier PR as is.
Just wanted to say: We are on your side. We get that it is a coup. And that there are sooo many smart and good and creative people in the US doing a great job on so many levels! We are watching you and hoping you keep up the great and hard work! Solidarity and love from Sweden. Resist!!
It’s may be a pay check, but stupid Trump has shown you how much you are worth and value as a federal work. With all the knowledge, experience and skills you have, you can work anywhere, any country, you are so valuable to so many, not to Trump or Elon musk or the Republican Party! Time to move on!
“This is the system that makes sure that your grandpa gets his social security check on time. This is the system that makes sure that your mom's doctor gets paid for her Medicare exam. Elon Musk wants the power to turn that on, to turn that off, as Elon Musk decides.”
It’s about time! Good on Warren. My theory is MAGA targeted and demonized the strongest voices and most formidable opponents over the last decade. It’s what the right did (Dead Rush Limbaugh) to HRC since Clinton was governor of Arkansas.
lon musk is torturing and human trafficking Shawn McIntyre with non-fcc non-fda approved artificial intelligence medical cerebral nanotech prototypes abusing govt contracts 🆘
I'm sorry, Where the hell was she earlier when this FUCKING STARTED! Just because they show signs of resistance now does NOT excuse the earlier inactions of Warren or Schumer! After all the talk of compromise and bipartisanship! They have a a lot to answer for.
They are walking a thin line and from this point forward, if they don't want to end up hanging along side the rest of Radical Right, they better do NOTHING except resist this fucking Administration till their heels bleed! No more appeasement. No more confirmations. NO MORE COMPRAMISES!
President Leon (sic) better watch his back. The open cesspool of mind and soul they call dear leader is about to throw the racist, apartheid-loving nazi under the bus. He already sees the polls and that spells the Leon goodbye.

FBI HOLDS THE LINE AGAINST PRESIDENT MUSK!!!!
Information of 5000 agents were released to DOJ. Information on how RULE OF LAW through due process brought J6 INSURRECTIONISTS to JUSTICE. No names of AGENTS was given. Not 1, just the ass kicking deats
#HOLDTHELINEFBI
Right?! Like, come on, give people the respect that they can understand “Elon Musk stole the treasury department and all your personal information”, not just “guacamole might get more expensive”.
Thank you all for your continued efforts! Seeing the coverage of y'all's actions help me hold hope for tomorrow. Encourages me to take further steps in my community. Let's goooo!!!!!!
The Social Security checks have on more than one occasion come earlier than when the third is on a week day. Check this week came early perhaps because the SS Administration knew something was coming on Monday.
This video shows Russell Vought (project 2025 author) talking about hiding their plans from Americans. By not using email to send out orders. Avoiding FOIA requests. Also he admits Trump is on board. Show your repub friends and family. https://youtu.be/UQjdwsZhE_Q?si=OxjRae8nIppaoo13
This is the natural reaction to informed citizens learning about an internal coup within their government. When people stop protesting we will be in real serious trouble.
I've only just begun to protest. Went to my first on Saturday, going again Monday. I'm in Utah, we go to the Capitol building in Salt Lake City. I'm old and disabled, but I'm fighting
Is it just me, or is the mainstream media unaware of this event? Or maybe they just don't care to report it? Didn't the mainstream media used to show up if a cat gets stuck in a tree? Just asking for some friends.
Who do you think owns the mainstream media? Conservative-supporting billionaires who spent lots of money putting Trump in office. They WANT Musk doing this, so they aren't going to televise it.
And yes, this includes traditionally left-leaning sources. Bezos owns WaPo, for instance.
Start defending We the People, not just blaming the GOP cult. We need to work together to create a new reality that we can live with. This is a choice point for humanity - Felon 47 is like Hitler in his time, who forced people to work as a community (one for all, all for one).
Nope, made false claims on his original visa. He’s out! Not to mention there are a lot of Latino immigrants, legal citizens, being rounded up and shipped out.
The US, represented by Marco Rubio, just signed a deal to deport incarcerated US citizens to El Salvador. So apparently we can now. Also his citizenship was attained fraudulently, so it can in fact be revoked.
They are grabbing us all by the private data and God knows what they intend to do with it. Remember what he said on Access Hollywood: “When you’re rich, they let you do it.”
It is a compounding crisis involving all of America’s security, intellectual property, money, people, and personal information rolled into one. All the information is being stolen, minute by minute. To what end? With who in the driver’s seat? These are the questions. It must be stopped right now.
This is crazy!!! Elon gives 300M to elect the FOTUS and now has unfettered access to the US payment systems! How is this not illegal and even criminal!?!?
Every Democratic member of Congress should stop working in Congress, instead focusing on showing up in person at all of Elon’s targeted departments. They should also meet with Joint Chiefs/our general officers and strategize on how to address the ongoing coup in America.
You know, I've heard the right talk about a new world order for years but they implied it would be run by liberals and leftists and not Nazi scum, incels with no life experience and a mad incontinent old bastard.
Conspiracy theorists who would be in the deep recesses of YouTube comments in the 2000s are now in political office on an international scale.
The world is beyond satire now.
I’m currently stuck in France for a bit but man I wish I there with you guys. I want to be able to go back to a USA that embraced freedom and diversity. The US gave me so much as an immigrant kid. It breaks my heart I can’t give back more to defend these values. Keep up the good fight
I’m betting mostly no, yet. Voters had a hand in this, so they will want desperately to excuse it somehow. And RW media will spin up many excuses to choose from.
The MSM is letting us down badly in Australia. The only truth seems to come from independent media. Even the ABC has been flooded with ex Murdoch employees who seem to think are still working for News Ltd.
I'm agreeing with you. We need to start treating them like NAZIS - instead of "the other side of the aisle." That means there are 2 NAZI parties. @chuckschumer.com #NoConfidence
It’s this shit. 👆🏼 👆🏼👆🏼
That’s going to have us living under martial law.
If you don’t think that’s not exactly what Trump, Vance, Hegseth and Musk want-
YOU haven’t been paying attention
Give me one example of a successful overthrow of a tyrannical dictatorship by peaceful protest? A dictator will not hesitate to wage military violence against protesters, peaceful or not. How do you propose to win against militarized dictatorship without fighting back? It took bombs to beat Hitler.
Second Amendment only applies to IF you are personally threatened and 'fear for your life' and have no way to leave a threatening situation. WE all know that they don't abide by that rule, but WE must! I agree with your last point, but it has to be absolutely based on incontrovertible evidence.
they will invoke martial law and lock up&kill all unloyal dems, left organisation, LGBTQI+ orgs etc. whatever you do or dont do. Learn from mistakes of Russias, Belorussias oposition.
Should we be surprised? Trump and his minions literally committed treason against the U.S., Unaliving people in the process, in 2020. We should have expected it again.
1. We know our rights and share it with others.
2. Electoral organizing - flip seats in the special elections
3. Call your state legislators - no approving Trump Noms
4. Resist - do not accept "Buy Out"
How would a 19-24 year old computer programmer even recognize financial fraud!?! Forensic accountants audit for waste/fraud, computer programmers write/change code!?!
Maybe they should try to storm the building. Maybe we should nag them to do so, or fly thousands of miles and join them. I cannot tonight with people who hear this and still sneer without any props at *all*. christ.
By now French protestors would have broken in, dragged the object of their protest outside, stripped him naked, and made him run away with his ass hanging out.
Impeach the 47!!! Clean and get rid of all the corrupt SCOTUS and Republicans!!! We need to make another Elections!!Other Countries have done it!!! Why can’t Americans do it ? too lazy , your social security checks , Medicare,OSHA,Overtime pay are all at risks!!!
The young gamers that Musk has working on Federal systems are almost certainly installing some form of AI on the systems. We do not know if their intentions are nefarious or benign, but AI is NOT a mature technology. These are the same people that thought self-driving cars were a good idea.
Any installation of AI on Federal systems should only be done with the approval and oversight of Congress. Any problems with AI may cause a catastrophe.
Please impress this on your Republican colleagues! Call for an immediate emergency Congressional hearing. Subpoena Musk, all the current heads of these departments and the gamers themselves if needed!
Musk is deeply influenced by a philosophical concept called accelerationism that is poukar with right wing tech bros and racists. Destruction is the point. Stop them by any means possible. They are a threat to us all. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerationism
WE NEED TO CALL ON SENATORS AND CONGRESS PEOPLE TO START EVERY DAY WITH RECITING THEIR OATH OF OFFICE WHILE HOLDING SIGNS HOW THE CONSTITUTION IS UNDER ATTACK & ASKING GOP WHEN WILL THEY START DEFENDING THE CONSTITUTION?
Hey GOP, this isn’t really what you wanted, is it? Come on, now, be honest. But in the end, you couldn’t defy Trump. After all of your blustering, you really are just scared and weak, aren’t you?
Hey GOP, I know many of you wanted something different from all of this. It’s not easy to admit when things don’t turn out the way we hoped, especially when there’s so much pressure to stay the course. But it’s okay, we got your back too. Join us.
If this isn't what they wanted, calling them names will only make them dig in further, even if they have doubts. That's just human nature. If we want to reach them, we need to understand that and use empathy, just as we would with anyone misled by propaganda.
I get the frustration given the GOP actions. But what is the goal? To gain allies or increase division? Attacking Trump supporters, with whom we should share a societal interdependence for essential goods & services, only reinforces DJT loyalty . Treat them with respect & they might listen to us.
Not really. I believe only about 1/3 of people voted for Trump, 1/3 for Kamala, and 1/3 were either intentionally suppressed from voting, are so beaten down that they think their votes don't matter, or were "protesting" by not voting, and now whine about being rightfully blamed for this.
Just wait. It's going to warm up, and I'm not just talking about the weather. It's a matter of time until Trump voters see the effects of these radical and dangerous moves in their day-to-day life.
I predict a crazy resistant summer on the horizon.
The Dem Party needs to do a blitzkrieg of fear in the two Florida Congressional districts with a special election on April 1. At least make a try for those seats.
There Actually Might Be A Chance With That The Florida GOP Are Fighting With DeSantis Right Now If It Keep Going There Is Chance Democrats Can Get The Seats
Alot of people in the IT industry are seeing where Elon is misleading the public. A ton of us want to call him out right now, but have no voice in which to do so. What can other IT people do in this situation? I feel used by the IT industry personally. He is DEFINITELY misleading.
I was incredibly disappointed with NYT’s coverage of the standoff between the orange stain and President Petro. Not much is surprising me - except some of those kissing the ring😒
***THIS IS FOR ANY DEMS IN FLORIDA AND NY*** THIS IS IT!!!The special general elections for Florida’s 1st & 6th Congressional Districts are on APRIL 1, 2025.
ALSO NY-21 District is open!!! If we flip these seats, we can STOP Project 2025. No excuses! Mark your calendars! Show up!

DT’s trying to make congress’ jobs go away, too, by bypassing established laws. Soon… he will be coming for them. He won’t need the rubber stamp anymore.
Musk's actions at USAID and the Treasury are illegal, why hasn't law enforcement gotten involved to stop these things from happening? Also, how can Homeland Security officers bar elected officials from entering a Federal building? Explain why there is no law enforcement response to these actions...
They should be on the side of the people , surely they are in the same boat . What is happening inside is illegal , they can’t be siding with criminals surely
Police started as slavecatchers and now exist solely to protect the rich and their interests. The courts have consistently upheld that they have no duty to protect us, the citizens.
I love AOC my granddaughter whose brown and 8 looks up to you so much and wants to be a congress person wjen she grows up. @meidastouch.com @jojofromjerz.bsky.social @meiselasb.bsky.social @benjaminpdixon.bsky.social
“DOGE” is led by an unelected person and is a task force, but it is not an official agency. Each time it is mentioned, it is normalized. For that reason, put it in quotes or refer to it another way. This should not be tolerated and is not an acceptable way of governing.
The security/ survival of the United States of America and Seig Heil Apartheid South African Nazi Elon Musk are diametrically opposed to each other. You can either have one or the other. If you want the country to survive, you have to get rid of him. Or more than 360 million people will be dead.
Nothing will happen because of this. We warned you that project 2025 was real. We're now living under a dictatorship Elon making the changes he wants. Both immune. Trump by SCOTUS ruling, and Elon and his lackeys by Trump's pardon power.
Congress has shown it's unwilling to stop him
So, when is Trump going to takecthe Lukashenko inspiration and shoot/imprison/deport everybody? When will the army take over the streets? That would be the normal putch scenario.
Not sure, armies tend to be right wing. And what about National Guard, which is probably MAGA and which Trump already uses as cops to catch immigrants?
Donald Trump is a rapist. He rapes everything he touches. He raped his father's legacy, his kids' childhood, contractors' payments, raped his 1st wife, raped shareholders, over 20 women, raped Ukraine, raped Christianity, the constitution & now our treasury. He won't stop until he's horizontal.
What we are seeing is the digital equivalent of the burning of the Reichstag. Trump intends to create mass chaos & then declare martial law. He's a stupid sociopath & must rely on what has worked well in the past. In this case, that means reading from Hitler's script. I wish this were hyperbole.
And when UC Berkeley students occupied Sproul Hall (the admin building) during the Free Speech Movement, volunteers from the community made batches upon batches of chili and soup to feed the protestors.
When California declared gay marriage legal, people from around the country ordered flowers, pizza, fresh baked cookies from local vendors and had them delivered to the thousands of couples standing in line outside the courthouse to get married.
Comments
Schumer too. The crowd erupted into a chant of “Shut down the Senate!” while he made his exit.
I want action too, but blind action would likely cause more problems now, and more roadblocks later.
How can they protect it with their bodies realistically? Once the political violence starts in DC, it starts everywhere. Do you have family & friends you’ve chosen to sacrifice? Is your position acceleration?

Don’t fall for it.
