Maybe corny but it was helpful for me to hear Henry Rollins saying "this is not time to be dismayed, this is punk rock time, this is what Joe Strummer trained you for... You can be thunderous in your own life, to the eight people around you. That rubs off... Goodness is viral"

“What is not debatable, however, is that Congress has not authorized this radical overhaul, and the protocols of the Constitution do not permit statutorily mandated agencies and programs to be transformed — or reorganized out of existence — without congressional authorization.

MuskRats are at it again!
Elon Musk’s staffers are still attempting to manipulate the Treasury payment system to halt the flow of funds following their recent losses. Reminder: U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly has restricted DOGE’s read-only access. No one is above the law.

Stop this insanity. Nobody voted for a hostile takeover.
Government-wide censorship, freeze in funding, data compromise. Let's call this what it is: an authoritarian takeover. Nobody voted for this. They will take as much power as we give them. CALL your politicians now. Emails/letters are often ignored.

Are you concerned? I am!!
Elon Musk’s staffers have gained unauthorized access to sensitive government employee data by installing a server at the OPM. They now have access to USAJOBS, the federal hiring portal where applicants submit personal details such as Social Security numbers, home addresses, and employment histories.

US AID has been an independent agency. That may have just changed.

On the web it has now been moved into the State Department.

This is w/out notice from the Trump administration as to how it is operating the agency, nor its legal ability to do this.
