Yesterday was incredible. The official count is in — 5.2 million people joined the #HandsOff protest nationwide. So many are asking: what’s next? Mark your calendars: 4/19 is the next nationwide day of protest.

Hold on. Have they considered if a 20-year-old cybercriminal says "but Elon says you have to!" Surely that carries the force of law, right?

NEW — The National Treasury Employees Union Chapter 282 just emailed its ~8,000 employee members strongly advising them NOT to reply to the “What did you do last week?” email from OPM/Musk.
NTEU National Treasury Employees Union CHAPTER 282 Good evening NTEU Members, You may have recently received an email from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) requesting that you submit a bullet-point summary of your work from last week. NTEU strongly advises you NOT to respond to this OPM request at this time. Here's why: • We work for HHS/FDA, not OPM: OPM directives that have not been formally adopted or communicated by our employer, the FDA, do not create an obligation for you to respond. • Lack of Concurrence: This request appears to have been issued without the necessary coordination and agreement from the FDA. • Protecting Your Rights: We are concerned about the implications of this request and are actively working to protect your rights and interests. • Protecting Your Rights: We are concerned about the implications of this request and are actively working to protect your rights and interests. • NTEU Action: NTEU National and our Office of General Counsel are aware of this situation and are taking immediate action. We are gathering information and will provide you with comprehensive guidance before the arbitrary deadline stated in the OPM email. What you should do: • Do not respond to the OPM email. • Retain the OPM email for your records. • Monitor your email for further updates from NTEU.

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff.

Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

Elon Musk is single-handedly causing more destruction to American communities than if an enemy force infiltrated our country.

This is a classic case of cutting off your nose to spite your face. US companies & farmers supply this branch of government with goods and they have now lost this customer.

This report is especially notable because it seems that, just hours before it was published, Treasury Secretary Bessent lied to GOP members of the House Financial Services Committee about this exact issue.

(And props to @murray.senate.gov for calling BS on it.)

www.politico.com/news/2025/02...
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent privately reassured Republican lawmakers Monday that Elon Musk and his team do not have control over a sensitive government system that manages the flow of trillions of dollars in payments, according to five lawmakers in the room for a closed-door meeting on Capitol Hill. Sen. Patty Murray, the top Democrat on the Senate Appropriations Committee, rejected the idea that Musk allies’ access to the payments system was as limited as Republicans and the administration are claiming. “Why on earth should we believe that, particularly when he is saying the exact opposite, loudly and repeatedly for everyone to see?” Murray said. Musk in recent days has said on X that his DOGE team was “rapidly shutting down” payments to Lutheran charities that provide refugee services. Musk also suggested — without offering any evidence — that career Treasury officials were breaking the law in approving some payments and had approved payments to known fraudulent organizations and terrorist groups.

Dear Democratic Leaders: here’s a free idea, send members of congress into the buildings where Elons people are and see what they’re doing. Dare them to stop you.

Do something

I’m all for banning athletes born with an unfair competitive advantage over their field.

That’s why we should immediately ban rich children from all sports.

If we all find 100 posts to like every day, engagement and good will on @bsky.app grows exponentially.

Is it worth a few minutes to make the platform stronger ?
