The U.S. Institute of Peace, a think tank funded by Congress, was the scene of a hostile takeover by the Department of Government Efficiency. DOGE has tried to install new leadership at the institute.

Let’s just call it what it is the department of Espionage against America using AI to download names and technology of our security of our country nothing efficient nothing saving America just attacking our security that keeps America safe my guess.We will pay a heavy price with American lives 🤬
As one who has been in that magnificent building, symbolic of doves in flight, where committed individuals bravely and diligently dig into keeping or making peace in places all over the planet—this MPD-enabled break in is the ultimate in disgusting hypocrisy by this POS POTUS and his thugs.

Why are people just following orders like Nazi soldiers? The police department needs to take a stand! Individuals need to speak out! This is not right!
I had read it was the Marshals. I fid not know a local police force would take part in such an action. Scary. It’s one thing to help in a situation like Jan 6, but after weeks of this, they should have developed a policy for refusing to help an unconstitutional action.
This is a break in right? And break ins are illegal still right? So DC police, these “marshalls & fbi” if that’s indeed who accompanied doge, are breaking the law right? Armed. They were armed?
The only way to stop the transfer of this great wealth grab, is to boycott the biggest players(Think Curtis Yarvin’s philosophy followers) Clearly one of the tech bros are “tearing” up over their stock’s drastically dropping WORLD WIDE!
For the rest, we’re at the mercy of “good vs evil… “
Project 2025 & DOGE “agendas” are not entirely on the same page as it pertains to the dismantling of the Fed. Gov. Proj. 2025=“reduce” DOGE is to completely dismantle and/or privatize most of gov. services.
Never ending DOGE nonsense. If Congress approved the funds the independent non-profit organization they should be allowed to manage themselves. Think tanks require the right mix of smart people working together without interference. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Institute_of_Peace
Hard to distinguish between NPR cowering from Trump investigating them on the one hand, and the sanewashing they were already doing throughout the '24 campaign.
This is all a HOSTILE GOVERNMENT TAKEOVER! Fascism won in November. This is what a constitutional crisis looks like! This is what authoritarianism looks like!
We are in the midst of a coup. A supposed government agency (DOGE) performed a "hostile takeover" of a non-government agency to install their own leadership, and utilized the police to do it. This is third world dictatorship behavior.
There aren't MAGAts in this platform but I understand your point. Their obstinate defiance is what's keeping them from seeing what's REALLY going on and not getting to the "Find Out" phase.
If there are MAGAts in this platform, they're either blocked or pretending not to be one.
Why did the police help? And are there ever any pictures taken of this so-called DOGE group every time they take over a place? I feel like they move in the dead of night to do their dirty deeds. Why can't people just lock them out?
What the hell @npr.org Remember you exist because of public funding. Stop minimizing Trump because you need our support to thrive. Do better! Be brave. (because we are getting good at boycotting places and people who not serve us)
I'm old enough to remember when Republicans said there was nothing to worry about because DOGE was just an advisory body, not a real government department, and not authorised to meddle with the civil service. 🤔
The DC police should have DEFENDED the sanctity of the building. Doge has absolutely no government mandate or permission to enter. What the hell were the police thinking! They need some stiff oversight.
And the D.C. police, who report not to the President but to the Mayor, were responsible for ushering out the staff and letting in Musk's arrogant little destructo-bots. Doe the Mayor approve of this action?
It’s a non-profit not part of the government. The cops, US Marshalls and DOGE broke into private property and forcibly removed staff to illegally take control. Next is the ACLU and maybe even NPR.
Why isn't anyone filming these thugs breaking into these buildings and posting on social media for the world to see? I get it, being in a state of shock at the audacity of it all might be an issue, but surely someone should try?
The reason there aren't more Republicans in the institute for peace isn't discrimination. Republicans just don't give a shit about peace. Republicans just want to turn it into some 1984 psyop that does the opposite of its name.
just hoping this remains in the courts and the government obliges when they lose.. I know Americans.. they’re not gonna put up with bullsht for too long .. the right is miscalculating
Y’all do know that Dodgy DoGE has no legal authority to exist, much less take treasonous actions like this one? Right? Or all we all gonna just “finger wag through the end times”? Can y’all pronounce “fascist mob”” or has the head Nazi got your tongue?
Yes, if police show up at the door ask for a warrant signed by a judge. If anyone else shows up ask them for a written order signed by both Musk and the ostensible leader of DOGE. Until you do these things they have plausible deniability.
1. Desensitization to Gestapo tactics
2. This COSTS MORE money so this isn’t about saving money
3. What the heck is this illegal immigrant (literally) drug addled Nazi apartheid sympathizer from South Africa doing in our government?!
So let me get this straight, tRump pulls a billion $ from DC which effects police funding and the ability of bow wow Bowser to run the district but has help from the Metro Police.
I mean, I once had an absolutely bananas roommate who broke into my apartment after she moved out. DC police came and would not let me file a report because “she used to live there.” She was not on the lease, she did not live there and had not for months. I am not surprised in the least.
The Trump & Musk seizure & dismantling of our government, institutions, agencies, natural resources, public goods and services aims to ransack, privatize and appropriate it all for themselves to dole out, Mafia-like, only to loyalists—
individuals and countries alike.
Yeah...Elon said he'd go on The Daily Show if they aired it unedited...Jon Stewart said OK we'll do that. Then Elon backed out...and instead proceeded to insult Jon on X.
I'm not on twitter.....but people post things they see on there and maybe that's a good thing so the rest of us can see some of this crazy stuff. You can also just google tweets people make if u have a subject...just google their name with whatever.
I left over a year ago ...everytime you were debating somebody on some issue...i.e. environment and posted a bunch of credible sources to back up your arguments... they would tell me I was 'spamming' and 'limit views' so I was just talking to myself.
That’s not a “hostile takeover.” They broke in and took it by force, using federal agents to threaten and intimidate, with no legal authority. And DC cops helped them do it.
(This is straight up despot stuff. When will you start *reporting* rather than covering for them? After they take over NPR?)
This unlawful invasion of an organization that is not part of the Executive Branch foreshadows a Putinesque purge of non-profits like the ACLU, Amnesty International & other groups that have no affiliation with the U.S. Government.
Hey look everyone, cops are helping the rich to overthrow democracy. That's why we say ACAB and fuck the police. They are the enemy of the people. Cops are on the side of the wealthy elite. We mean nothing to them.
DOGE is a cancer on America and we are dying. Our chemotherapy will be the never ending boycott of Tesla and every single business that supported Donald Trump. I feel better already.
I don't understand how the government can invade a think tank? Is there any business or office that Musk can't show up at and demand a complete takeover?
"Former diplomat and President and CEO of USIP George Moose told reporters, "D.C. police showed up at my office and said it is time for you to go." USIP is a think tank funded by Congress."
Was there some written authority? It’s not DOGE’s property, it sounds like it’s not even in the purview of the Executive Branch. So on what authority are local cops throwing people out?
The DC police that went in with DOGE to force the staff out were likely buoyed by 'presidential orders.' I guess they make up their own rules now. Namely, whatever FOTUS tells them to do.
“Hostile takeover” is NPRs sane-washed saying for “armed US Marshals did the bidding of an unelected South African immigrant grifter and his band of 20 year old jerk offs.”
I think about that statement all the time. It plays on a loop in my brain. Since the day I heard it, I knew shit was going to be just as bad as I imagined it would be. I’ve never forgotten his name either. I hope one day soon to see that smirk wiped right off his pasty ass face.
It also makes me think of when he said about property crime, all it will take is one really violent day to end it. I think a lot about this and recent comments about the Tesla store protests.
Not surprising given that most Fox viewers have no idea that they paid $787.5 billion for lying to their viewers. We have been playing chess while they running roughshod over the constitution not caring what we do.
As soon as we all turn off Netflix and get off our asses? Or maybe when everyone’s folks stop getting their SS checks and are thrown out of their retirement homes.
I don't think we are far away. Saw an article over the weekend about an armed neighborhood watch in Ohio that formed in response to a neo-nazi rally held there. We already know MAGA followers will use violence without hesitation. It will only take a tiny spark, I think.
I wish there would be but the truth is Americans aren’t going to care enough to fight. USP, USAID, and other important institutions work quietly behind the scenes to make us safer and smarter but few know that. Domestic benefits and groceries might tip the balance. By then it is too late.

Firing and re-hiring Gov Employees isn't free...
None of this has to do with government efficiency.
DOGE didn't try, they did replace leadership. He refused to accept it.
Horrible headline.
“…the building was "seized by force, by police officers with guns”
FFS, THAT’S the story!

We don’t do no stinking peace!!
It’s bad for corporations.
And given the fact that they have zero impulse control, you won't have to wait long at all for the answer.
Fuck Musk
Fuck Trump
Perfect 1984 vibes.
Heads is tails…
Now we see they're just performing hostile armed takeovers of any agency that tries to do good in the world.
Sounds very dictatorey to me...
Fuck musk
Nobody elected him
This isn't an agency that is legitimate and get them out of our institutions and federal agencies.
GET OUT
For the rest, we’re at the mercy of “good vs evil… “
(i think....)
Doge illegally trespassing into US institute of peace!
Sounds about right...
If there are MAGAts in this platform, they're either blocked or pretending not to be one.
2. This COSTS MORE money so this isn’t about saving money
3. What the heck is this illegal immigrant (literally) drug addled Nazi apartheid sympathizer from South Africa doing in our government?!
Arrest, deport, sue, sue, sue
Nothing to see here.
individuals and countries alike.
What a fucking parasite
Elon talks a big game, and never delivers.
(This is straight up despot stuff. When will you start *reporting* rather than covering for them? After they take over NPR?)
Why would the police not arrest DOGE since they have no right to be there.
I'm confused. Thought there would at least be the appearance of propriety.
THEY’RE USING THE POLICE TO BREAK THE LAW.
ACAB. PERIOD. Not a good one to be found.
This should enrage everyone.
Jan 6 was not the insurrection
it was only the beginning of the insurrection
It is indeed, Forceful and Brutal Rape!
RALLY IN DC APRIL 5TH.
A new hash tag to find each other. This is from the guy that's heading the veterans##wearetheflood.
