Elon Musk now has access to your Social Security number. The world’s richest man has gained access to the confidential personal information of every taxpayer in the United States.

Starting trade wars to make it easier to take over the government was literally the plot to the Star Wars prequels.

the other thing about these moves is that the union becomes untenable if your access to the good faith and protection of the national government is contingent on whether you renounce your co-sovereignty as a state and submit to the whims of a president who has claimed sovereign authority

These are the Dem senators who voted to confirm Bessent, the dude who handed over YOUR personal/financial info/Social Security/Medicare/tax refund info- EVERYTHING - to Edolf Musk. Write to them. Call them. Now. Demand they do something and that they NOT confirm another single appointment.

16 Democratic senators recently voted to confirm the Trump-appointed Treasury Secretary who just gave Musk’s team access to a Treasury payment system that disburses trillions and holds mass quantities of personal information. Food for thought. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Imagine you’re a lifetime civil servant and some snot-nosed college kid who interned for Elon Musk rolls in looking like he’s hungover from last night’s frat party and demands you defend your work.

Contrary to some info I've seen, 19-yr-old Doge staffer "BigBalls" Edward Coristine did not delete his X account, it's just renamed and is private. Wired reported that govt tech workers had to defend their work to the Neuralink intern in an Office Space-esque scene. / more for Canadians

Mexico has joined Canada in placing 25% tariffs on the US. China has filed a suit against the US at the World Trade Organization. People across all European countries, Mexico, Canada and parts of Latin America are organizing a world wide boycott of all US products. β€œBuy anything but US”

My book club has always used FB messenger for group chat. We decided to migrate to Signal because the federal employees/spouses of federal employees don’t feel safe using Meta platforms. We’re basically just wine moms but being on FB could endanger their careers. That’s so tremendously fucked up.

If it’s USAID that’s the criminal organization, why is Elon running around with naive college-aged kids with no security clearance, raiding gov. agencies? I wonder how these kids are going to feel when they realize they served their purpose.

You know what? The EU & UK should put tariffs on US goods (from red states) in solidarity with Canada and Mexico. Rather than watching others get bullied and waiting our turn - we should unify against this bullying until the bully drops that behaviour.

BREAKING: Two USAID security officials denied Elon Musk’s DOGE crew access to classified material that they lacked clearance for. Trump just put them both on leave for doing their job. The lawlessness continues. Please make it STOP!

unfortunately for these folks the odds are that they aren’t going to go after violent criminals at all β€” too hard β€” and going to go exclusively over the easiest targets, which are law abiding workers

Business that supported Project 2025, seems like a daunting list but it’s easy to mentally flag McDonalds, Wendy’s and Dairy Queen which leaves Burger King and any non franchise business to have a burger. This list is all over Facebook, IG, and threads with no community notes.
