I'll try, it'll help me, too:

We're at a point in authoritarianism before extreme violence. Instead, they're tearing down existing institutions & rebuilding, no matter how poorly. B/c those institutions only work b/c of the people who work there, their 1st goal is creating fear in the employees.

They want folks to feel they have to agree to MAFA in order to keep their jobs, avoid trouble at work and keep a small sense of normalcy. But that sense is false b/c this isn't normal.

OMB is basically how the govt redistributes tax $ (housing, schools, airports, hospitals, charities, water supply, etc) but sent a memo telling all govt depts to stop sending out $ within 24hrs

OMB claimed federal workers had to b/c the the president wanted it & he's speaking for the people who voted him in. But we the people also vote for our Congress representatives & they're the ones that actually decide and control how we spend tax $, if one wants to follow the Constitution

The order being This unconstitutional & crazy is actually part of how they want to consolidate power, "coordination." It shakes Everyone's faith in our govt traditions and depts. It was illegally taking over funds that Congress should be controlling
