Guy who doesn’t even respond to the mothers of his children: reply to my email or you’re fired

These are brown shirts, and this is Nazi behavior. We are not in a fight between right and left anymore. This is a fight between Americans and those who would bend the knee to a king. If you care about the soul of this country, we have to stand for each other.

There's going to be news about a woman illegally detained and being forcely removed from a Coeur d'Alene Idaho Town Hall meeting taking place at the high school by men that would not identify themselves wearing plain clothes because she opposed the republican viewpoints. youtube.com/shorts/hhJdH...

I think the implications here are painfully and terrifyingly obvious.

😕

yes. love it. do this.

“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” Beyond parody.

He's not even trying to hide it at this point.

It's hard to laugh at it but a kind of bleakly funny throughline in all this is that it's being overseen by people who 1) have never had any kind of real job, 2) don't know what these particular jobs are or might entail and haven't asked, and 3) are absolutely convinced that they are fake.

it should be asked how he even had the ability to do that

It is something to realize that yet again we don't really have a sitting president. Just an out to lunch old man with everybody else running the show, only this time a lot more visibly disorganized.

TOWN BULLY (NOTICING REACHER): Who’s this, your boyfriend? REACHER (BLOTTING OUT SUN): No,

We were warned. Some of us understood what would happen.

This is a wild, WILD situation. The President is at least allowing, licensing these emails though clearly not directing them. Meanwhile parts of the uniformed military are directing civilians within DOD to ignore them. Same at State and according to Dilanian FBI. But DOJ is saying do what the ...

OPMs email servers trying to hold back all the external troll emails they’re getting in response to DOGE.

It doesn’t seem like Elon is ever really out in public as is, but it really does feel like a time will soon come that he won’t be able to go out in public without a bunch of people motherfucking him (or worse)

A quick act of resistance against this nonsense, as well as a show of solidarity with our fellow Americans who are federal civil service workers, is to send five things you accomplished this last week to [email protected] …and go.

He’s supposed to have multiple CEO jobs

In a just world the man would be driven city to city to be tarred and feathered by all the Americans he’s made miserable and then drawn and quartered. Then restored like Prometheus for it all to repeat the next day,

This should be every dept’s and agency’s response.

New — State Department employees have been instructed *not* to reply to OPM’s 5 bullet email, per an email I reviewed, saying leadership “will respond on behalf of the Department.”

You can tell this is a product that's in high demand because they keep hiding the ways to turn it off

NBC News has obtained this notice from the State Department which instructs employees not to respond to the email that DOGE/Elon Musk sent to them. @yamiche.bsky.social

A full third of federal government employees are veterans. Elon and co think fed employees are a bunch of granola eating liberals but they're sorely mistaken. Rendering hundreds of thousands of veterans unemployed with cuts to their VA healthcare and no job prospects is a recipe for an insurgency.

Never in my most pessimistic moments did I expect the response to modern biotechnology saving countless lives in a pandemic to be a powerful elite captured by a conspiracy theory and dismantling our defenses against the next one out of some misguided notion of revenge

It’s like they channeled my insides into a chant

Jeffries: hey the GOP controls the government, absolutely nothing i can do, gonna work on my personal book tour Sanders: brb i am going to personally barnstorm strategic GOP house districts and try to peel off 2 votes so we can block Trump's cuts to Medicaid www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

so uhhhh did Elon shut down the National Sex Offender Registry too? www.nsopw.gov

That guy is Executive Director, Naval Sea Systems Command. He's basically the guy in charge of making sure the boats are good boats. And he has to send a frantic email out telling everybody to treat DOGE like a phishing attack.

this rich asshole in st. louis pointed a gun at some protesters and become a right wing celebrity overnight. conservatives were so enthralled by a guy who threatened to kill liberals that he got recruited to run for senate and raised over a million bucks in individual donations

The editors and the publisher of NYT are really the embodiment of reactionary centrism

A school in Staten Island was caught doing this with a Black Panther book and I'm surprised Marvel didn't make a HUGE deal out of it for publicity. They don't have enough petty people over there.

This is the kind of bullshit middle management does to make it look like they did something this week. If you’re in a position of authority over other workers, and YOU don’t know what they’re doing or why it matters, then YOU’RE the useless one.

From a source whose agency got the Musk/Trump email: Numerous federal employees often don’t check their emails unless told to. They also don’t typically have govt issued computers so many can only access email at the agency or department facility…

Yeah, this is the one
