NEW: A regional FEMA chief of staff took Elon Musk's Fork in the Road offer. He has proof of receipt. But they didn't honor it. Instead, they fired him 13 days later. Now, this retired Navy captain is speaking out. www.thebulwark.com/p/musk-doge-...

Yeah, and coup.

Please let others know.

This has a lot of good information. From marching, to calling elected officials, to helping those fired. sherrilyn.substack.com/p/democracy-...

My dad made the cradle for me as a child, and my cat, Fluffy, put up with doll clothes and being placed in it... now 40+ years later, the current overlords, Nutmeg and Raven, continue the tradition (sans doll clothes 😂).

This is happening now!!

I hope someone checks that he doesn't have sensitive information (like our PII or other info) before he gets hired by an external adversary of the US.

You can’t spell FELON without ELON.
