People are asking what they can do:
1) Keep calling your electeds!
2) If you’re local to DC, come protest at OPM & the Old Executive Bldg, where word has it Musk works out of. (haven’t confirmed that)
Just stay on public sidewalks and be kind to federal employees.

Anyone check in with the police unions that endorsed 34?
Are they celebrating 1500 cop beaters being given a full pardon for spilling so much cop blood they were literally slipping around on it?
Is this how they’d like their rank & file to be treated whenever there’s a revolt?
