Hi all, We’re still here at OPM.
We have a situation where we MIGHT, and I do mean, MIGHT have four of Elon’s people blocked from the building.
Can we get press or a member of Congress down here? We’ve blocked them for two hours and they keep coming back and trying to go in.

Anyone who criticizes them will end up on a “watch list.”They are starting their rule with fear. They want us to be frightened so we stay quiet. Will they silence us? Nope!!! We are heading into a dark age where science, art and intellectual thinking will be quashed. Stay smart but not silent.

The CDC and WHO report a 20% increase in measles cases last year, driven by decreases in vaccination.
This equated to 107,500 DEATHS, mostly in young children.
This, in a PREVENTABLE disease.
Can only imagine what that number will be if we get rid of all mandates.
