For those following the story of unidentified men violently dragging a protester from a local Idaho GOP meeting, it turns out they were from a private security firm called LEAR Asset Management. But neither the sheriff (who watched it all go down) or the GOP will take responsibility for hiring them.

If you’re a Nazi asshole, I don’t think you appreciate how I’m about to fuck your shit up.

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.

Over 120,000 Japanese Americans forced into imprisonment in internment camps simply because they were of Japanese heritage.

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

DOGE says it has saved $55 billion in federal spending so far, but its website only accounts for $16.6 billion of that

This is absolutely insane. — www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

‘The greatest propaganda op in history’: Trump’s reshaping of US culture evokes past antidemocratic regimes

Elon Musk's DOGE has requested access to an Internal Revenue Service system that retains the personal tax information of millions of Americans.

Have you heard about the SAVE Act? It's the newest effort at voter suppression by the House GOP & it's important for all of us. If you're a married woman or someone who doesn't have their birth certificate/passport handy, you're especially going to want to see this. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Sounds like they made a fascist turducken.

This caught fire on X.

Republican lawmakers in Utah are advancing a bill that would allow schools to fly swastika flags and Confederate flags while banning Pride flags. www.sltrib.com/news/politic...

This is absolutely insane. They want to be able to see our tax records. Why? What purpose does this serve? Search our history so Elon can post about it? Attack their enemies? This is a five alarm fire! 🔥 wapo.st/3QizwcN

"Elon Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service is seeking access to a heavily-guarded Internal Revenue Service system that includes detailed financial information about every taxpayer, business and nonprofit in the country, according to two people familiar with the activities, sparking alarm within the tax agency"

The way Utah schools get their money may soon change — if a bill in the Utah Legislature, which would require local property taxes to go through the state's general fund, passes.

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

Brad Asay, president of the American Federation of Teachers Utah, said public sector unions aren’t done fighting. “This just makes us more determined to push back, fight back and defend workers' voices in the workplace,” he said.

More good news 🤯

If you live in or near an agricultural area, and you see crops rotting in the fields because laborers are being deported, please take a picture or video, and DM it to me Include where you took it and the date you took it. If possible, include an intersection or an address.

Elon Musk is moving fast and breaking things that can’t afford to be broken.

NEW: You can help federal workers! We are fundraising for legal expenses. I have applied for non-profit status so your pledge could be tax deductible! Help support and defend our civil servants here, and please share widely 🙏 Patreon.com/fedoath

Elon Musk has seized control of computer systems that process trillions of dollars of payments and the private info of ALL Americans. Now he’s trying to shut down USAID. Congress must reassert its authority NOW and stop this coup. SIGN HERE if you want to stop Musk's illegal government takeover!👇

If you are having thoughts of harming yourself or taking your own life, please….call 988 to speak to someone now. Please.

If it were legal to fire you, they wouldn't put so much effort into getting you to resign voluntarily.

This is grossly irresponsible reporting by the AP. What’s being offered is not a buyout. The deal is if you agree to resign in September you can continue working remotely until then. There is no buyout or severance.

Was listening to The Logical Song by Supertramp, and I don't know why I'm just now catching the lyrics: "I said, now, watch what you say, they'll be calling you a radical, A liberal, oh, fanatical, criminal."

Swastika Night was published by an Englishwoman in 1937. Before the annexation of Austria, Kristallnacht, WW II. 12yrs before Orwell would pen 1984. It’s set 600 years in the future of the Reich and it’s prescient AF. Even in July, looking at Project 2025, it told me a lot at what we were seeing.

Julie Gray, wife of Holocaust survivor Gidon Lev, who joined Musk in his visit to Auschwitz speaks out. She says that Musk felt nothing during the tour & only "cared about how he looked." She shared this with me privately shortly after the tour, and I'm grateful she made her thoughts public.

NEW: After some agencies tempered the language of the DEIA snitch email, OPM is now testing a government wide distribution system so they can circumvent agency chiefs and threaten employees directly. They had to send a 2nd email assuring folks the first wasn’t a phishing scam.

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps. The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years. History is repeating. Pay attention.

The 17 year old boy who shot and killed a student at a Nashville high school yesterday posted photos of Nazis and school shooters online and railed against “race mixing.” He also praised Hitler and said he wanted to “take revenge” on society,
