“We fired all the guards at the bank so they’re not roadblocks to anything that happens.”

El Capitan displays a massive American flag upside down—the traditional signal of distress or extreme emergency.

This is how I would respond to the email Musk has had sent to government employees (not legal advice). 1. Refused to violate the law. 2. Refused to violate the Constitution. 3. Refused to bow or scrape. 4. Refused to bend a knee. 5. Deleted this stupid email.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

Please follow and support former Minnesota Vikings punter Chris Kluwe — an inspiring representation of our OPPOSITION movement. Earlier this week, Kluwe appeared at a city council meeting in Huntington Beach City, California and exercised his right to peaceful civil disobedience —…

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

A Missouri Representative has filed a bill to track pregnancies in the state. HB 807 will: "Maintain a central registry of each expectant mother who is at risk for seeking an abortion of her unborn child and make the same available to a prospective adoptive parent who has completed screenings."

Math is hard

Another fiery exchange from Judge Reyes in the trans military case:

The Washington Post rejected an ad buy calling for Donald Trump to “Fire Elon Musk.” The reason? The paper won't say. "We asked why and they said they couldn't give us a reason," the head of one of the groups attempting to run the ad told me. More in Status: www.status.news/p/washington...

FFS! 𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙮 are firing National Park Service EMTs There will be no one to attend to you if you get attacked by wildlife, fall while climbing/hiking, have a skiing incident, are drowning, break a leg/arm/your neck, etc Alex Wilds is one such federal employee. Read what he's saying

Americans don't do history. That's why we don't need a Department of Education anymore. Knowing facts is boring. Watching TikTok videos is more fun.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

2 died of Ebola: They said Obama should resign. 4 died in Benghazi: They had Hillary testify for 11 hours, held 33 hearings, and launched a 4-year probe. 881,776 Covid deaths, an armed insurrection & theft of classified documents: They cheered, and made Trump a dictator.

Even worse incompetence: they accidentally fired, then apparently today un-fired, hundreds of the people who manage America's nuclear weapons.

Feels like a metaphor

🚨BREAKING: In response to emergency litigation by @democracyforward.org, Trump backs down and agrees to keep hands off CFPB funding until case can be heard. Visit Democracy Docket for breaking news involving democracy and the courts. www.democracydocket.com

I’m going to keep calling it the Gulf of Mexico because that’s the name it was assigned at birth.

You dumbfucks said Biden wasn’t “really in charge” and then you handed Trump’s presidency to Elon fucking Musk?

If you’ve already started calling it the Gulf of America instead of the Gulf of Mexico, you should have no trouble with someone’s preferred name and pronouns.

Conflict of interest? The State Department’s procurement forecast lists Tesla as the recipient of the largest expected contract, with Marco Rubio’s department planning to purchase $400 million worth of “Armored Tesla” vehicles.

‘You Can’t Let This Happen,’ Says Fundraising Email From Sitting U.S. Congressperson

The AP must refuse this but more importantly the rest of the White House Correspondents Association should back them. Boycott the press briefings until they relent, and if they refuse, walk out. There is no real use to them in any case. Trump craves attention. Deny him that and he’ll cave.

Posted around NYC, Chicago, DC and other cities. Be creative. Do something!

I wonder how one possibly justifies any of these actions

THIS is the version of the ‘farmer who’s about to lose his farm’ testimonial that you need to see. Here’s the thing—I don’t care if they admit they were wrong. We already know they were. But they do need to admit they were lied to—by Donald Trump. Call him out by name!

This morning in litigation against President Trump. (Not a complete list.)

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

This energy.
