Through these acts of refusal, Thoreau demonstrated that 𝙧𝙚𝙛𝙪𝙨𝙖𝙡 𝙞𝙨 𝙖 𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙢 𝙤𝙛 𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣. His refusal was not just resistance; it was a moral imperative. It’s not just saying “no,” but taking purposeful action to live a life aligned with ethical principles, even against society’s expectations. 🧵/6

The "admin" is claiming that no one person will head up DOGE going forward. This could be a legal tactic so it's hard to pin one individual down in a lawsuit &/or just part of the chaos.

Missing a few steps, but close enough to what happened... Thiel was in DOGE from the get. He helped staff it with employees from his corp & pulled kids from his DoD contracts. Per a DOGE whistleblower, the day-to-day is run by Steve Davis, Anthony Armstrong & Baris Akis. Akis is not a US citizen.

If a person cannot analyze a problem, clearly define it, and present reasoned solutions to fix said problem, they are not a centrist. And to be clear, sometimes reasoned change is "radical" change.

A lot of people are confusing corporate-owned cowards for "centrists." Centrists are not adverse to change and, in fact, call for evidence-based, well reasoned policy changes. They can recognize & call an atrocity what it is & admit when the middle ground does not serve the greater good.
