They're popping up everywhere. Not much you can do right now but this is a bit of direct action that will, at the very least, make you feel good. Which you deserve.

It's a kind of coup, for sure. One we're not used to, and haven't experienced before, but it's definitely in the vicinity of a coup. An unelected billionaire literally taking over our government and our data and our secrets.
This language describes a coup. You have to be a government employee, subject to the rules & procedures that bind gov employees, to do this kind of work. This is a blatant abuse of the public trust by the Trump administration, a true 5-alarm fire. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

I know that all these institutions know how to push back because when Obama directed them to enforce pre-existing Title IX law, universities said no.
They flat out refused until there was a working group and specific guidelines. And even then, they *still* refused.

Where are the defenders of the US as Elon and nameless private agents infiltrate US agencies, commandeer US servers, steal US data, seize US money, march US officials from US buildings? Who sallies forth from the FBI? The CIA? Congress? DoD? The media? This is a coup—and America appears defenseless.

Hey, @liccardo.house.gov, here’s something you can do.
Can we see if there is a Democrat in the House with a spine who can introduce an impeachment resolution against Treasury Secretary Bessent? He had no right to turn over control of the payment system to Musk.
