Trump’s FBI Poised to Focus Counterterror Strategy on “Things Like BLM and Antifa”
According to current and former sources in the bureau and other national security offices, the shift will jeopardize years of progress combating violent white nationalism.

Doesn’t our military assist w the logistics/delivery of USAID? Distribution in some cases? Allocation to approved govt NGO’s on the ground?

There isn’t a concern that removing USAID won’t jeopardize the position & standing of some units overseas?

USAID says it will put nearly its entire staff on administrative leave starting Friday at midnight
The announcement comes less than 48 hours after Elon Musk said he spent the weekend feeding the agency "into the wood chipper."

I have a feeling we’re going to find out there’s some R. Kelly type cult shit going on with Elon and his little DOGE pups. Not getting paid? Sleeping in offices? 2 years out of high school?

Idk man…seems kinda groomer to me 🤷🏽‍♀️

Seriously. Don’t put your names on any email lists, don’t fill out surveys, unsubscribe from emails lists, don’t put your name on more.
Be smart. Don’t sign up for anything.
If we ended up in a real general strike situation.

The overwhelming majority of us should be *calling in sick* not putting or name on a list so they know who to fire and/or put in jail because if you're a teacher, government employee, etc etc that strike is illegal.

Oliver Krvaric has family ties to Naziism. His father Tony Krvaric, who featured in videos praising Adolf Hitler, is the former chairman of the San Diego GOP.

Krvaric's brother Victor, also a Nazi, was arrested last year on assault weapons charges after threatening to firebomb homeless people.
Report: Victor Krvaric posted ‘racist’ messages, suggested firebombing homeless encampments
Snapchat posts led to the arrest of the son of ex San Diego County GOP chair.

Exactly this.
We are, however, seeing an uptick in voices with surprisingly large platforms urging people *against* showing up for *any kind of protest.*

Whether they’re just idly spreading panic or are part of some coordinated campaign: Tell them to shut the hell up.

Hi, reporter who *actually* covers protests here: 50501 is not an op and people spreading panic like this is stupid.

It originated on Reddit (www.reddit.com/r/50501/) and you don’t need the backing of a “major org” to organize jack. It’s a call for people to mobilize, not riot. Chill out.

Today's last-minute protest at the federal office (where Musk and his cyber-thugs took over on Friday) was small but mighty. We made our message loud and clear, and many people who drove by honked in support.... Of course MUCH MORE needs to be done, but this was a decent start.

Wow. Not a news crew or a congressperson in sight. The Dems should never make one dollar off the working class again.
A few of us are still out here.

Sorry for the shaky video.

Warren is the ranking member on the Senate Banking Committee. Wyden is the same on the Senate Finance Committee. They need to go to the Treasury building with crews from CNN and NBC and demand to be let in. As soon as they're not, hold a press conference right there and explain what DOGE is doing.

If a 19-year-old Canadian who calls himself Big Balls marches into your federal agency and demands access to your system, telling him to fuck right off should be the mildest reaction you have.

We’re yelling at Democrats because a lot of us elected Democrats to represent us, and we feel a lack of urgency. We feel helpless. Our concerns—our very LIVES in some cases—have been brushed off as “noise” and “distraction.” We have been abandoned.

The litmus test for seeking re-election as a Democrat just got easier.

“Where were you the weekend of January 31, 2025, when Elon Musk and four of his teenage ball washers took control of the U.S. Treasury?”

Just remember when the propaganda spouting bootlickers paid by the DNC once again demand your unwavering commitment to their chosen candidate, that it was the every day civil servants who wore the capes. Just regular people, no security details, no high profile attention. Just Americans at work.
Hi all, We’re still here at OPM.

We have a situation where we MIGHT, and I do mean, MIGHT have four of Elon’s people blocked from the building.

Can we get press or a member of Congress down here? We’ve blocked them for two hours and they keep coming back and trying to go in.
