Not all resistance wears a bullhorn.
Some write letters.
Some carry water.
Some raise their voices.
Some raise the spirits.
Some paint banners, others hold them.

Show up how you can.
We need you all.

Finally.
Good to see that unions representing federal workers are directly suing Treasury Sec Scott Bessent and the Treasury Department over Elon Musk's access to payment systems, alleging extensive lawbreaking and demanding an immediate halt to it. As noted below this could bear fruit.

Fetterman and Slotkin don’t surprise me. Many of these don’t surprise me. But damn, I’m wearing my disappointed mom face. If these are your reps you better hold them accountable. And where is Dem leadership?

This is some BS. Where is their own website? Why only post to X? Well, know why.
The NTSB has announced that it will only post updates for plane crash investigations on Elon Musk's website.
