Fed agencies advising employees NOT to respond to Musk’s illegal email threat: Defense DHS FBI FDIC IRS NIH State & the fed judiciary, which is NOT part of the Exec branch; employees were advised to decline to respond too & CFPB, though they were told to stop working last week #MuskShitShow

Social Security has a payment accuracy rate of over 99 percent. Only 0.3 percent of Social Security benefits are improper payments, which are typically caused by mistakes or delays. That's better than any private insurance company. www.cbpp.org/blog/setting...

You’re going to want to bookmark this one and check it daily.

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important: Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

This Executive Order is not a direct attack on Marbury v. Madison and SCOTUS; it IS a direct attack on the 19 independent federal regulatory agencies, including financial regulators: SEC, FDIC, CFTC, CFPB, NCUA, FHFA, OCC and much of the Fed. It's the next step in Musk making X everyone's bank.

If you read one thing today read our latest piece we just posted. This one is a very important one. Please consider reading and sharing it with your friends, family, and neighbors. And as always, please share your thoughts and ideas. I am also going to post all of the text here as a thread. 1/

Show this to a federal worker and let them know how many people support and appreciate them.

Don’t lose hope. Remember, Watergate took over two years to fully unravel from the initial break-in to Nixon’s resignation. Just like then and now, Americans are losing faith in their government. We are documenting every illegal action and will hold this administration and Elon Musk accountable.

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

A message from #AltGov:

Trump is reportedly looking to shrink the FDIC and consolidate it into other govt agencies. The FDIC was created during the Depression to protect bank deposits. This would come after Trump and DOGE shuttered the CFPB, which protects us from financial fraud. See the pattern?

They removed the T and then they removed the Q and what letter are they coming for next?

Incompatible with the claim that they're making the government more efficient, not that that was a credible goal.

"[Musk is] already very clearly operating here as an independent actor whose actions the President blesses after he’s found out what’s happened. This is a parallel overlaying of authority over the entire structure of the US government. We’re in dystopian quasi-science fiction territory here."

NEW: When given a list of terms to describe Trump's administration so far, a plurality of voters select "chaotic." www.dataforprogress.org/blog/2025/2/...

This. Is. Not. Fine.

How do you like to express yourself? In order to express freely, we need to feel safe ❤️❤️❤️❤️ VERY challenging at the moment. To work on this, use today's inquiry to make some headway #partswork #shadowwork #skyifs #cptsd #somatic #werisetogether

🚨 #AltGov Addition 🚨 Despite the choppy waters & gale winds of this upside down timeline, members of the federal gov are stepping up. Please join me in welcoming our newest member, @altcoast.bsky.social. We're proud to have you on the team. Semper Paratus! 🇺🇸

Hey NYTimes — *now* you’re lighting the beacons? NOW?!? After months of “Sauron: Avatar Of Evil… Or Extreme Uniter?” thumbsucker reporting you’re screaming what we’ve known since 2015? Fuck all the way off.

Elon Musk has purchased $40M on a series of Superbowl ads attacking USAID. Watch this ad, which tells the truth, instead. #saveforeignaid #standwithUSAID

They have their sights set on your social security

Top comment on the recent NYT story on DOGE’s young aides www.nytimes.com/shared/comme...

Open message to Elon Musk: Rumors are swirling that you’re spending $40 million on Super Bowl ads targeting USAID. If there were truly fraud, wouldn’t you not need to spend millions trying to convince people?

This is why they're attacking science and education: if you can only win with disinformation, data become a threat.

📢 WE CAN STOP TRUMP! 📢 🗳 TWO Special Elections in Florida – April 1, 2025 🗳 ONE Special Election in New York 🚨 This is our chance! If Democrats win these seats, we can take back the House in 2025! ✅ Flip these seats. Stop Trump’s chaos. Protect our democracy. 📣 Get involved. Spread the word. VOTE!

Watch this little owl take flight.

Crockett: I am tired of the white tears. When you compare me to Marjorie Taylor Greene or me to Lauren Boebert, there is no comparison. So the only people that are crying are the mediocre white boys that have been beaten out by people that historically have had to work so, so much harder

Accurate.

I see more criticism here of Democrats in Congress than I do condemnation of Republicans. And yet it is the GOP who are enabling Trump. It tells me a lot when I see you regularly bash our side but say nothing, ever, about the other. Reflect on your choices. You may be helping the fascists.

It is incredibly important that you get on the phone with all of your reps /today/ and encourage everyone in your network – no matter what party they are affiliated with – to do the same. It is not hyperbolic to say that we are experiencing a constitutional crisis of unimaginable proportions.

Hi all, We’re still here at OPM. We have a situation where we MIGHT, and I do mean, MIGHT have four of Elon’s people blocked from the building. Can we get press or a member of Congress down here? We’ve blocked them for two hours and they keep coming back and trying to go in.

Please, everyone, drop what you’re doing and read this:

BREAKING: David Hogg, a survivor of the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting just been elected Vice Chair of the DNC. CONGRATS!

I think this is our future unless someone stops him. Musk’s plan for X has been for it to replace the entire banking system. His keen interest in seizing control of Treasury payments (and its tech) may forebode an intention to have such payments go through X www.theverge.com/2023/10/26/2...

Trump’s tariffs are driving up prices for us, while driving down demand for U.S. exports in Canada and Mexico. This why you don’t trust your country’s economic policies to someone who bankrupted 5 casinos.

do you have any idea just how badly you have to fuck up to get Canada mad at you

JUST IN: British Columbia says it will no longer buy American liquor from red states in response to U.S. tariffs

Every time you don't buy a book from Amazon, but use a good indie store who actually values the sale & treats you & your purchase with respect, the sun shines brighter, floofy puppies gambol in fresher grass, & Jeff Bezos's piles sting for just a biiiit longer. Sounds GREAT to me. Buy independent.
