Activists who help topple authoritarian regimes sometimes struggle to transition into legislators responsible for governing a state. One of the US's problems right now is the opposite: legislators used to governing a democratic state don't grasp how to be activists against an authoritarian regime.

I hope people are able to hold strong. But I won’t begrudge anyone who doesn’t want to sacrifice their mental health and happiness to stay and fight. It must be hell to see everything you’ve worked for turned upside down by fascist thugs.

This is a glaring red flag. El Salvador will accept "deported" Americans, almost surely to be tortured and imprisoned by Bukeles thugs. You cannot legally deport an American citizen. That doesn't mean they won't try. apnews.com/article/migr...

Many parents (especially women) run into these conflicts. I once interviewed a single mom who showed up to the job interview with her child. She had informed me, so I came with a basket of toys and coloring books. She got the job. We need more open minded companies out there.

It would seem that if they allowed in people who are not government employees or have any authority, then it’s clearly open to the public. People should peacefully try to enter, and when denied, ask why. Ask what rule exists that allows Musk’s minions but not you. Record the response for lawyers.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

I fall to see how this would be any different if I sent the same email to the same people. Citizen Musk has no authority to make good on the promises made. But your choice to just stop showing up for work has a very real consequence with the people who actually write your checks.
