MARINES. Consider your oath and your honor. Think REAL. HARD. ABOUT. IT. Do not compromise your integrity. Consider your obligations to the Constitution, and to your own understanding of what is right and what is ethical. "Just following orders" is moral cowardice.

As someone who lives in Los Angeles, don’t let social or mainstream media gaslight you into thinking there’s a violent uprising taking place here. The Trump administration is trying to punish this state and this city. He’s also setting a precedent to unleash troops on Democratic cities.

“We need to get better at treating this like a business,” Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons said, explaining he wants to see a deportation process “like (Amazon) Prime, but with human beings.”

Portlanders: Noon. SE Naito/Couch. See you there. On April 5, we’re uniting to say Hands Off! Join me to fight back against Trump’s unprecedented power grab. app.sosha.ai/s/RuLVwDUF

The lives of American troops - and every American life - depends on the people in charge of our government taking their responsibilities seriously. But again and again, including with the incompetence that came to light today, they are demonstrating the opposite. My full interview here:

They are breaking Social Security, because they do not like Social Security.

It’s begun. We aren’t surprised that DOGE doesn’t know how to clean data since they also are perplexed by databases. DOGE’s traitor tots are incompetent. #wecodebetterthandoge

I just got a report that a terminated employee from another agency got their job back after replying to the termination email with their good perf appraisal. If you are still connected, might as well try. It makes for good documentation if nothing else. Let me know. So far only this one anecdote.

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand. #resist

Thank you to everyone who has joined the resistance! Our ranks grow stronger every day.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

When someone shows you who they are, believe them.

We are calling for a nationwide and international boycott of all Elon Musk-related products and services. Sell your Tesla shares, avoid buying Tesla vehicles, cancel Starlink, and delete your X accounts.

Court Orders CDC, FDA to Restore Scrubbed Webpages, Data www.medpagetoday.com/washington-w...

What the actual *?! The White House has designated Mr. Musk’s office, the United States DOGE Service, as an entity protected from public records requests and most judicial intervention until at least 2034, by classifying its documents as presidential records.

Washingtonians !

House Democrats made an unsuccessful attempt to subpoena billionaire Elon Musk to testify about his efforts to radically reshape the federal government, only to be blocked by Republicans.

The U.S. Department of Labor is organizing a protest. Elon Musk’s staff will be present at the Frances Perkins Building in Washington, D.C., today at 4 p.m. It was mentioned that staff should plan to stay late after the 4 p.m. meeting to assist with setting up Elon Musk staffers into their systems.

You’re going to see some news articles saying THOUSANDS of feds are resigning. Um. Ya. We do data. We know what 1% of 3 million looks like. And it's a damn sight smaller than 10%. Keep it up people! As Trump installs his amoral henchmen the American people need us more than ever. Hold the line.

Our coalition has grown rapidly, now standing strong with over 92,000 federal employees. We are united by our oath and our commitment to hold the line. Every day, more of us are being targeted simply for speaking the truth to America.

Get them out of government. Most not old enough to be elected to anything. One suspects they are part of Musk’s gaming posse.

The Consumer Finance Protection Bureau stopped performing its oversight duties as soon as Trump appointed Scott Bessent as acting head, fulfilling the wishes of the country’s most powerful civilian, billionaire Elon Musk. newrepublic.com/post/191085/...

NYT: “.. He sought and was granted an office in the West Wing but told people that it was too small. .. His team is staffed heavily by engineers — at least one as young as 19 ..” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/u...

We are members of Congress at the Treasury Department. We want to be let in to provide oversight on behalf of our constituents. @jasmineforus.bsky.social @sethmagaziner.bsky.social

We can confirm that the communication ban at CDC (and presumably all of HHS) has been extended for at least another week with no specified end date. No external communication with local, state, or territorial health departments, healthcare systems, or the public. In the setting of ongoing outbreaks.

Mom always said "Stressed and don't know what to do? Clean something." I've now dusted, watered, swept, mopped,vacuumed,done the laundry,re-stuffed the bed pillows,and cleaned the oven. Guess I'll paint the bathroom next. F*cking Delon Trusk.

Folks (and this thing has gone around quickly), it's still unclear *what* has been "deleted"; as many of you have noted DirectFile remains active. Part of the danger of Government-By-Unelected-Nutball is that what's actually *true* is a moving target. If you RT'd my initial post, RT this as well.

Yes. Finally, some meaningful pushback against these constitutional outlaws. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

All of your most sensitive data and our country’s checkbook are in the hands of an unelected billionaire. This is the most corrupt administration in history and it’s putting our economy & government in serious jeopardy. It’s time to speak out and fight back. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/u...

BREAKING: I’m hearing from several VA employees that they have been locked out of VATAS - thats how employees request leave - like administrative leave to file EEO complaints. It also shows your work schedule and OT. If this has happened to you, please reach out using the contact info in my bio.

Forced Resignations Are Illegal – 5 CFR § 715.202 states that federal resignations must be voluntary. An email implying "uncertainty of your position" while pushing resignation deadlines could be considered coercion.

Indivisible is urging people to visit their senators' local offices between now and Thursday to demand that they use every tool—including denying a quorum and blocking unanimous consent—to fight the confirmation of Project 2025 architect Russell Vought for head of OMB docs.google.com/document/d/1...
