If you're in the mood for some trolling, send Elon Musk an email at hr@opm.gov. He claims he will use AI to find the best, so make sure to include corporate buzzwords to increase your chances of being seen! Use a throwaway email.

A screenshot of an email to Elon Musk at hr@opm.gov. Email text reads: Dear Elon, Here's what I did last week: - Changed my pronouns 37 times, maximizing gender return. I was recognized for this and awarded the "Most Pronouns Award" - Efficiently did 20 transgender surgeries on children, the best in my unit, according to my supervisor - Effectively ignored the mother of my childs' desperate pleas for help over our child's medical emergency, thus maximizing my time spent at work being a loyal, hardworking employee - Communicated with my representatives to issue a formal complaint against a tyrannical boss - Made excellent use of taxpayer dollars by removing amenities that were just installed with more taxpayer dollars I plan on continuing until you are removed! Kind Regards,

Part 3, in which AOC explains that the calls we have been making to members of Congress this week are having an impact on Republicans and Democrats alike.

Don’t let up.

Keep making noise.

Shoutout to @5calls.org ! I highly recommend this app, enter your zip code and it gives you the phone numbers of your representatives and a script for each issue. Even someone as phone anxious as me could do it! Make your voice heard!

When it comes to digital privacy, I've reiterated DENY - DELAY - DEFEND. In this thread 🧵, I'll go into more detail about what each one means.

Read this before attending a protest today or ever!

#Protests are happening soon. Remember:

DENY - don't bring your phone, don't give the passcode, power off, remote wipe, no cloud backups, no social media posts
DELAY - keep your OS up to date, complex password, use recommended settings (📌 post), bloat w junk
DEFEND - hire a lawyer/expert

PSA: DO NOT upgrade your iPhone to iOS 18.3. I usually advocate for keeping phones up to date, but iOS 18.3 adds connectivity to Elon Musk's Starlink. Since Musk is actively performing a coup of our government, hold of for now.

When it comes protecting your data, are you better off with an iPhone or Android?

There is no easy answer; there are pros and cons to both. For the everyday person, I'd recommend iPhone. For the savvy, Android. More details in the 🧵:

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive):

1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment*

2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything

3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can

4. Citizens march en mass

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.

I know. I was there in those camps.

Don't let this replace IRL demonstrations, let it supplement. But protesting in person is not possible for everyone, here are ways to help from your phone!

As people get fired across the country for mimicking Musk’s Nazi salute, we must reflect: if priests, school teachers and nurses are LOSING THEIR JOBS, why hasn’t Musk seen similar consequences?

consider setting up a "digital dropbox". that has copies of documents, passwords, info whatever you might need. encrypt it, and place it on something like protondrive thats also encrypted. but with a standalone email thats only for the dropbox and has an alais.

the dropbox is a backup a 2nd copy

IF THE POLICE TAKE YOUR PHONE, REMEMBER:

DENY - Power off, refuse the passcode, verify the warrant, remote wipe

DELAY - keep OS up to date, complex passcode, bloat with junk

DEFEND - hire a lawyer and create doubt amongst a jury
