We must focus on state governments.
Know your state representatives, Attorney General, Secretary of State, state supreme courts.
Know them. Call them. Get educated on what bills are being passed.

What the actual *?! The White House has designated Mr. Musk’s office, the United States DOGE Service, as an entity protected from public records requests and most judicial intervention until at least 2034, by classifying its documents as presidential records.

If our government has money for war, ethnic cleansing, and genocide, they have money for reparations for the descendants of chattel slavery.
These struggles are linked.
Our elected officials are choosing to spend money on bombs instead of our communities.

Vance posted on X: “Judges aren’t allowed to control the executive’s legitimate power.” You mean Trump’s “power” being used to violate our Constitution? The Constitution is not something any president can manipulate for political games.

Elon Musk’s 20-year-old staffers are not only demanding access to highly restricted information but are also displaying aggressive behavior—shouting at anyone who stands in their way, resorting to name-calling, throwing tantrums, and even hitting objects in anger.

What started as a small group of park rangers has grown into a movement of over 100,000 federal employees. People all across the nation have risked everything to challenge Elon, his staffers, and the Trump administration, ensuring the truth reaches the public.

OPM is planning to fire all employees on probation (less than one year of employment). Agencies have until noon on Wednesday to submit a list of probationary employees to the OPM and indicate whether they wish to retain them—though it has been stated that this will not make a difference.

this is a great start. and the energy of being a part of this helps offset that sense of doom and isolation. but just standing around outside and yelling putters out after a while.
at any case, glad it's started.

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

At OPM, Musk’s staffers won’t leave—they work around the clock and have even installed sofa beds in the office. Our access to data systems has been restricted, raising serious concerns about cybersecurity and a complete lack of oversight. We are keeping our heads down and documenting everything.

Broadly, the Left should be supporting the boycott on Target. People are organizing outside of electoral politics to impact a giant corporation by withholding their money.
It’s a strike, but for consumers. It’s working class empowerment.
There must be solidarity.
