USAID’s website has been deleted, all that is left is a note saying all personnel are now on administrative leave and personnel outside the US are to be brought home. Completely illegal, no act of congress or even executive order was signed to dismantle the agency

There is no insult robust enough to call them what they are.
…if the rest of the world organises.
The Paris Agreement could serve as a rallying point to save the Earth.
No thanks.
Former Tesla VP George Blankenship explained to the BBC in 2022 everything Musk does comes back to Mars. ⬇️
Starship, solar power, EVs, boring machines.
Why Musk is killing net zero by backing Trump, Reform (UK), AdF to achieve his Mars base needs urgent investigation.
Musk is a no-nothing. Mars is nothing but a fantasy. It would be much, much easier to build settlements on the Moon than on Mars. On top of the problems of getting to Mars there is the problem that the soil is poisonous.
Why kill net zero?
Why save billions with DOGE?
Maybe to fund the tens of thousands of Starship launches to build his Mars base in his lifetime.
The US spent billions to put 12 people on the moon.
Musk wants one million on Mars.
And Musk’s AI bot Grok has speculated on why Musk is killing net zero
by installing Trump, Reform (UK), AfD. ⬇️
I don't think any of them truly understand the sheer difficulty, or level of hard graft it will take to establish a colony on Mars.
BBC, The Elon Musk Show, Episode 03 (49:50 mins in). ⬇️
Journalists and politicians, please investigate how Musk killing net zero by installing Trump, Reform (UK), AfD accelerates his Mars base.
It seems Musk’s ego demands he be the one to build a Martian civilisation, so it’s Mars first and Earth can burn.
See this thread. ⬇️
not correct. He got elected one way or another. That was a fail.
But you are still there. You are still alive and you are dealing with a bunch of criminals. Democratic, diplomatic and civilised rules are off for them, and thus: for you, too.
Remove them now.
It’s not like the majority of American voters were all in on improving the lives of the rest of the globe *before* 2016
Yeah, I can agree with that.
UK also has a problem with Immigration & the many UK citizens who don’t like them “invading their Country” either.
There’s a fascist problem in every Democracy based Country & Oligarchs are controlling it.
All you're going to see is a lot of internet outrage, and the US just gets dismantled and reconstituted into something else, just not a democracy.
Heartbreaking on so many levels
Uneducated, unfit, unstable...
It has only been 2 weeks!!!
do.
But alas
Throwing chairs sounds fun, though.
If they really think it's okay to carry on with fucking business as usual while this shit is going on maybe people need to get in their way in their space?

Every single Democrat in the house needs to be screaming fascism ALL day in front of the news so Americans see they are fighting for us.

Republicans are fascists
They will not act
Having said that, in case you haven’t noticed, Dems are in the minority in Congress which means that the only viable pushback will have to come from Republicans. Shall we take a bet on which ones of them will do that? 🤔 1/2
The note is the index or home page of the website
The other pages are still there if you accessed them via a direct link or different menu. Jus Sayin
DOGE has no authority to put your entire department on leave or take over data.
Playing China and Putin's game is part of their agenda to get more lithium and rare earth metals for their other grifts

USAID is an executive function under the executive branch.
It exists as an act of Congress;
its activities are directed by the executive branch.
Trump can shut it down without an act of Congress.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_agencies_of_the_United_States_federal_government
Not “independent.”
There is no such thing as a truly independent agency.
It falls under one of the 3 branches of government.
In this case, the executive branch.
It was musks idea. The felon is not smart enough to do this. His strings are being pulled by musk.
Outrageous.
Shut it down.
You’re still living in an imaginary sphere where ‘legality’ , ‘democracy’, ‘eggs on toast’ , still had some reference to the material world.
Get real! Or rather, get post-real!
This is a new era. Go postal.
Yet, they are not arrested yet.

and everybody is STILL insisting on playing nice and civilised while your institutions are dismantled one per day and your data is Dog knows where at this point?
Duty to Retreat before Castle Doctrine, huh?
Good, good, America!
Employees are being placed on administrative leave with pay “until further notice.”
Rubio has appointed a J6 participant, Pete Marocco, the director of foreign assistance at the State Department, to run USAID.

Not sure if it's the result, and how it actually came off so quickly, or that Trump actually thinks he is in control.
Fight back!!
We don’t need money in politics. We just need people to participate.

Thank you for your feedback.
We need to rise up against this coup and take our country back.

He is intentionally letting a gang of thugs steal from us and destroy our democracy.
He wants to turn Palestine into a resort property.
He is criminally insane.

The choice to accept tyranny and only complain.
I hope not, but it's really hard to be optimistic from afar.
McCarthyism disguised as a crack down on Hamas supporters, it will shut down freedom of speach & dissent about everything. It includes a hit list of people they are coming for.

I don't think they'll let that happen again.
Civil war may already be inevitable with the path trump is going down.

…If someone were to stop them by lethal force NOW, that would be “too far”
I think they’ll notice.
That’s exactly where we are headed.
Buckle up.
An agency established by JFK to provide aid, combat hunger and disease and project the value of democracy.
No vote or debate. Just some power mad tech bro with a chip on his shoulder.
Putin should be proud.
This is merely the tip of the kremlin's hybrid iceberg of warfare.
They were soundly defeated, Hitler committed suicide, and the nation was divided for 41 following WWII.
Putin and Xi are already drawing lines on a map with a Sharpie.
Law means NOTHING to them…
they work
first, stealon is full of shit. there is no way they know jack shit about the agency in this short amount of time, unless someone obeying in advance is telling them anything they want to hear.
second, you don't take actions until you've made a report, that pretty basic. jail him

In 2 years, his absolute control of all govt institutions will be complete. A mid-term election result will be useless as the exec is in absolute control. SCOTUS already ceded power to him.
Just my opinion.
I suspect for many America is increasingly viewed as a partner of last resort now, not first resort, this will just put rocket fuel behind that shift.
In the real world, I'd like to see them just helping themselves and relying on no one, not reality we all need each other
This is a not an administration.
This is crime and process with more accomplices than “the good guys” can identify or sort out.
They have used a one-two punch of financial terrorism & “divide and conquer.“
There is nobody left to coordinate a response.
No command center.
They are warranted.
Whatever this landmass becomes after the collapse, after the dust settles, it will not be that country.
They succeeded.
Reagan’s GOP said “drown government in a bathtub.”
This lot has done it In 2 weeks. A Bloodless Brainless Ball-less Coup.
Everyone has an option. Be willing to sacrifice your life for our Democracy and end Donny's fascism, or remain silent like most folks did in Nazi Germany.

If people don’t start seriously organizing - but avoiding a Thucydides’ Trap endgame - we’re lost.
The Senate are busy with "hearings" on Trump's rag tag band of anti-merit candidates.
The Republicans aren't going to veto any of them. They're scared of losing their cushy jobs (or worse).
The last elections will soon be over, his minions in place.
Heritage will do his bidding from now on, you have been replaced.
You voted for this now you can fix it.
Fiction? I think not.
Why do peoole keep saying Congress instead of GOP?
Is there a reason you're not specifically calling out the fascist Republicans responsible?

Trump and the Republicans are handing world dominance to China
The US will soon be isolated globally

Will everyone please stop complying with the vicious little Muskrat and the criminal Orange Blob.
Such a good news !

America has no one coming.
All rest of us in the world can do is isolate it like a virus as best we can.
#Musk on a #AfD party congress recently
#democracy?
Will everyone please stop complying with the vicious little Muskrat and the criminal Orange Blob.
Use of Executive Orders plus the establishment of his "Sovereign Wealth Fund" .. meaning he will no longer need Congress even to approve funds, literally the primary reason it exists .. guarantees this.
Meaning that the (Christian Nationalist) Oligarchy will consequently not require Congress at all.
Other than for purely rubber stamping or cosmetic reasons.
There is a global network of autocrats and oligarchs who move money around the world on a continual basis.
Autocracy Inc (by Anne Applebaum) is a fantastic book about all this.
Trump is just the latest mutation of a global virus.
If people had paid attention…
Project 25 is now happening almost literally in real time, almost line by line.
And oh, by the way, Gaetz is coming back to torment you! Somewhere very critical soon. Maybe as Musk’s Deputy Dog(e)! Nice eh?
People, children will suffer harm and death. Musk, felon Trump, and all involved in this callous move have blood on their hands.
