This is an absolute scandal.
Trump and Marco Rubio abandoned American workers and their families abroad, delaying waivers to provide for their safe return to the United States.
As these civil servants lost their possessions, housing, and money, Elon Musk was slandering them with bogus accusations.

I have seen people get thrown face-down onto a hard floor for failing to follow a judge's orders.
I have seen people sent to Rikers Island for refusing to follow a judge's order.
Courts have plenty of hard power. But they only have practice using it against poor people.

There are 2.3 million federal workers. If you are one, YOU can help stop #elonmusk and #donaldtrump by performing some Simple Sabotage. JOKING! Don't do ANYTHING to defend American democracy... Especially if it's something that NOBODY will ever trace back to you!

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do.
Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave after they resisted turning over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s staffers. America, please stand with us—we are fighting to defend this country!

Elon Musk now has access to your Social Security number. The world’s richest man has gained access to the confidential personal information of every taxpayer in the United States.

An Elon Musk staffer misused the U.S. Marshals Service by falsely invoking their authority to intimidate. USAID security personnel were threatened with action by the federal Marshals Service.

A tweet from 'Steven Portnoy' reporting that multiple state agencies are having difficulty accessing funding portals for emergency aid, community health centers, Medicaid, and more, following an OMB memo ordering a grant 'pause'. A quote from a state official to ABC News states, "This is sowing chaos and confusion everywhere."
