I am not going to let Trump and his cronies scare us. I am more focused today than ever. I am more motivated today than ever. I feel so fortunate to be on the front lines fighting alongside you against the Trump regime. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

JUST IN: Another medical horror story in an affidavit from a USAID employee stationed overseas. Says his pregnant wife was not medevac-ed for emergency health care because of directives from DC. Took intervention of a U.S. senator to reverse — but was too late. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Someone made a very impassioned post about people condemning Tesla over Elon making an argument that many smart, decent people work there and shouldn’t suffer because of him. Fuck that. I have friends who are Feds being smeared and terrorized. I give zero fucks about Elon’s employees.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

If you are shocked by the MAGA Musk takeover of the Federal Government, hold on to your hat. They’ve only just started their purge. They want it gone. All of it. Leaving states to manage their own affairs, without any consideration for the safety of citizens. Soon it won’t be safe to fly. #StateWars

From an FDA probationary employee: the firings are coming from outside the agency without cause and with zero input from supervisors (as promised.) More firings expected between now and Tuesday. Do not open the termination email before you download your documents and performance evals.

Let us not forget about the people being sent to Guantanamo Bay and we should be asking why it took 7 military flights to carry 98 people.

This is just sheer brazen criminality by DOJ. Adams gets federal corruption charges dropped not because there isn’t overwhelming evidence, but because he agrees to help Homan round up migrants. And Homan says the charges will be refiled if Adams doesn’t “come through.”

If you are a federal government employee and you receive an email that the Fork in the Road deadline has been paused, please share it with me. I’ll keep you anonymous. Contact in bio. I’m interested in the language they use. They’ve been ordered to notify you.

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

They’ve called armed federal officers to the scene. We aren’t dangerous. We are here to represent our people. To defend public education. This is an authoritarian regime. You cannot block members of Congress from entering the Department of Education.

One reason Musk might be so driven to shut down USAID? The agency's inspector general opened a probe into Starlink last year. Now the Trump administration says Musk will self-determine his conflicts of interest. Hello?

DOGE is reportedly threatening NOAA with massive staff and budget cuts. NOAA houses the National Weather Service and National Hurricane Center, which produce forecasts and warn people about storms. This attack on public safety is ripped straight from the pages of Project 2025.

I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.

Republicans are going along with Elon Musk's unlawful power grab. They're okay with an unelected billionaire who has no congressional authority having his hands on the Treasury's payment system and your Social Security number. Remember this.
