It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

Scoop: The databases powering DOGE.gov are insecure, and people outside the government have already pushed their own updates to the site to prove it:

A federal judge has restricted the Elon Musk-led government efficiency team from accessing a critical Treasury Department payment system. The order, issued early Saturday, halts access temporarily and demands the destruction of any downloaded information, saying there is risk of “irreparable harm.”

For White men: Boys will be boys. Don’t ruin his life.

For Black boys: Zero tolerance for misbehavior. Try him as an adult.

To be racist is to treat White adults like kids and Black kids like adults. To be antiracist is to treat all adults like adults and all kids like kids.

Wired’s coverage these last two weeks has been exceptional. Truly the best kind of reporting. A worthy place for your subscription dollars.
DOGE operative Marko Elez got the ability to alter US Treasury payment system code on Feb 1, WIRED's sources say.

For days, Trump officials fed members of Congress and the press a different story.

Elez is out now for posts reading "I was racist before it was cool" and "normalize Indian hate."
The US Treasury Claimed DOGE Technologist Didn’t Have ‘Write Access’ When He Actually Did
Sources tell WIRED that the ability of DOGE's Marko Elez to alter code controlling trillions in federal spending was rescinded days after US Treasury and White House officials said it didn't exist.

Despite news that “resistance” is softer this time, I keep hearing from ppl who share my current approach: instead of channeling energy into protest, putting it into work, boycotts, volunteerism and community-building. We’ll be in the streets when needed, but let’s get good work done meanwhile.
It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.
