Elon Musk is traumatizing hardworking federal employees, their children and families. He has no legal authority to make his latest demands. We will block him in Congress and in the Courts. Again.

Why would you fire the top lawyers in the armed services at night on a Friday? That's the part you should be freaking out about.

REMEMBER: THIS Friday, February 28. NOT 1 PENNY SPENT. We can DO this. I'm IN, are YOU?

The heads of multiple federal agencies have told their employees not to respond to Musk’s email. Seems like Musk would’ve gotten approval for this draconian change in policy from Trump, with Cabinet officers informed in advance. But no, because this admin is in utter chaos.

Trump is replacing our entire military leadership with blind loyalist’s.

Spoiler Alert: They need to raise the debt ceiling to afford their $4 trillion tax cut for the rich and corporations. Tell Congress to let the Trump Tax Scam expire and instead invest in the other 98% here: bit.ly/3MOBGyT #TaxFairnessNOW

A new website created by about a dozen federal employees, called “We the Builders,” aims to be a secure outlet for government workers to share stories about how their workplaces are being impacted by DOGE, and a place to explain the real-world impact of its access to government tech systems.

I am inundated with messages from federal workers who are feeling frantic, furious and fed up after receiving Musk’s email and reading his threatening X post. The psychological warfare is the point.

"It's almost impossible to believe he exists. It's as if you took everything that was bad about America, scraped it off the floor, put it in an old hot dog skin & taught it to make noises with its mouth" #PRESIDEMENTIA

“If these cuts go through, Michigan would be forced to make impossible choices. Cutting coverage for post-partum moms, people with disabilities, seniors in nursing homes and even children with special healthcare needs.” - @Scholten.house.gov https://buff.ly/4gUPC7g

Hi Bluesky friends: I wanted to share that my book, THERE IS NO PLACE FOR US, is coming out in March. Based on a half-decade of reporting, it examines the rise of America's "working homeless," following five Atlanta families desperate to secure housing in a gentrifying, increasingly unequal city.

Did you know that Highland cows, like Harry, are one of the oldest registered cattle breeds in the world?

So do we need to see this as show of force by a malign hacker? Are we really supposed to believe all federal workers report directly to Musk and not their bosses, even in independent agencies? Musk isn’t trying to reform our govt - he is trying to break it.

If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

🚨🚨This from @JBPritzker The Nazis dismantled a constitutional republic in less than two months so it is definitely time to panic.

The attacks on DEI are a pretext for a much more radical agenda of reversing the gains of the civil rights movement, an objective the Trump administration is pursuing with zeal. A Great Resegregation. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

A MUST-SEE‼️ The PayPal Mafia—Musk, Thiel, Sacks, and Botha—have ties to apartheid South Africa & a hand in US policy and the election. • Elon Musk – Unelected co-president, dismantling the government for his own gain. FUN FACT: His grandfather wanted to scrap democracy for technocrat rule. 🧵

It's no coincidence that Musk's companies are soaring in value as the regulatory agencies that were investigating or suing them are being gutted. The DOGE agenda isn't about "efficiency" — it's about Musk freeing himself from any accountability so he can line his pockets.

Call your congressmen and congresswomen and oppose the Republican House resolution to gut Medicare and Medicaid and line the pockets of this nations wealthiest! 5calls.org/issue/budget...

In what sort of an upside down world view does this earn crowd applause?!?!?

Unfortunately I have to skip every country song now because I do not have time to look up where each artist stands on controversial subjects like if presidents should obey laws

I have never doubted for one second that Trump is a rapist. The way he talks about Ukraine really confirms it. Ukraine sure as fuck wasn’t asking to be invaded.

John Fetterman’s staff are leaving him in droves and there are awful rumors about how he treats them. Are we sure he’s not just three Kyrsten Sinemas sitting on each other’s shoulders in a hoodie? Our latest:

Out of the mouths of babes…

Standing up to the authoritarian wave requires more than cheerleading for democracy; it demands making democratic societies more participatory, responsive, and adaptable at all levels, from local to national, in response to the societal shifts driven by the Internet over the past 15 years.

And who they didn't like
