Courts are holding the line, for now. https://youtu.be/NUTXuTM8IoU

Kyle do we know if they already cloned that data? I have this q about every department.

And do we know if they had access to modify any systems that no one is verifying is undone?

He may be barred,but Musk already has the info he wants. NEVER let that dude near your systems.

geertcuypers.bsky.social•4 days ago

They will anyway. They'll find a collaborator who gives them access.

That'll stop 'em! /s

Why should you never go into battle barefoot? You'll get de-feeted!

Apparently, the revolution WILL be televised 🤣

HUD building today 🤣 😅 😭

Elon Musk is a Russian asset for Putin!

gottobeaspiriy.bsky.social•4 days ago

This is good news, but I suspect that the youngsters actually accessing the data are not being dissuaded in the least. Who is left to enforce the several consistent court orders barring access?

ddmoc.bsky.social•4 days ago

You know, if I was the judge, I would send my Bailiff to monitor that my orders were being obeyed—while I looked for a court monitor that would observe the DOGE Team’s behavior and report back to me—paid for by DOGE—subject to contempt of court and jail time for any violations.

gottobeaspiriy.bsky.social•4 days ago

Yes. Agree. But do you think these Federal judges will take that step?

ddmoc.bsky.social•4 days ago

Sadly, I don’t!
But I’m still gonna plant seeds to elevate expectations of the judiciary, in these dire circumstances!

monaagent99.bsky.social•4 days ago

I said just yesterday, I'm almost glad my student loan balance didn't get forgiven because DOGE will probably go into people's bank accounts and reclaim the money!

ddmoc.bsky.social•4 days ago

You’ve talked to your bank about added security for your bank accounts, right? And put freezes on your credit at all three credit bureaus, too?

These yahoos have tampered with systems that have all of our identity data—systems that foreign agents are trying to hack daily.

Better safe than sorry!

monaagent99.bsky.social•4 days ago

I've been hearing this advice on the Thom Hartmann show. I'm at least in a credit union, but I do need to do the credit freeze thing.

ddmoc.bsky.social•4 days ago

Here ya go! Whenever you’re ready!
Below are the urls for their “freeze” pages. You might need to create an account first, then just click “freeze”—AND DOCUMENT your info, to unfreeze later.

ddmoc.bsky.social•4 days ago

That would definitely cause me to lose my social norms.🤬
I feel violated that they did that to New York—and I’m in California!
There are some trespasses that are unforgivable and require redress!😢

monaagent99.bsky.social•4 days ago

People would need to sue, but the courts move so slow!

jafiny.bsky.social•4 days ago

But will they abide by it

desert29girl.bsky.social•4 days ago

Nope - they will ignore it like the others. And try to impeach the judge….

celiaann.bsky.social•4 days ago

I still don't understand how some random people got the access in the first place!

thryse.com•4 days ago

Considering that DOGE isn’t a legitimate agency and Musk has no actual governmental position, they should be *barred from federal property*

We chip away bit by bit, and hope that February 18 E.O. gets crushed in court.

interrogaomnia.bsky.social•4 days ago

The "farcical" that is Musk proves how easy it is to manipulate #47.

kirik411.bsky.social•4 days ago

They’ll ignore the order because they are above the law

maliceandspite.bsky.social•4 days ago

Listen, I know the argument about how they already have this info, but with this order it makes them having possession of copies of the info against the law (which technically it already was but this at least solidifies they don't have the rights to it)

patriotboy2025.bsky.social•4 days ago

How do we know they already haven't accessed that information? Are the Musk boys on the honor system?

ddmoc.bsky.social•4 days ago

Worse—they’ve tampered with the database safeguards, and foreign actors are in the databases.🤦🏻‍♀️

hinghamjoan.bsky.social•4 days ago

This means nothing to them. They ignore rules.

Excellent news, now to the enforcement part!

Elon's moronic DOGE boy twits have saved only <7B according to their own data, meanwhile Trump is giving 2000B to the rich. Nice smokescreen of unecessary chaos, jerks. 🙃
