This was done with no due process and no evidence of gang activity - in defiance of a court order. Thugs attacking innocents and taking them out of the country into secretly arranged jails. This is not government - This is a mafia coup

My two cents: we don’t abandon the Democratic Party. We remake it. It’s a good party. It just has bad leadership.

Hey! Do this! jamieraskin.com/doge-privacy...
U.S. Representative Jamie Raskin is encouraging all U.S. citizens to join him this week in filing formal demands for access to their personal data obtained by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and Elon Musk.

The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia has issued an injunction commanding DOGE to comply with citizen requests under the Freedom of Information Act. This law encompasses the Federal Privacy Act of 1974, which entitles any citizen to access personal information held in any U.S. government records system. Please find a fillable Privacy Act request form HERE.

Citizens need only fill out the form and mail it in to DOGE.  This newly recognized federal agency, which has been systematically accessing government computer data systems, now has an obligation to respond to specific information demands from any of the 340 million U.S. citizens who exercise their legal right to defend their privacy and establish the security of their private information.

Once you have mailed a Privacy Act Request to DOGE, please fill out the form HERE and we will stay in touch with additional details and updates as they become available.

Trump boycotted Biden’s inauguration and some of you don’t think it’s cool that Michelle Obama will not attend Trump’s inauguration. It’s not a quid pro quo. Michelle has more than 11,780 reasons to not attend and past Presidents should follow suit to not participate in an incoming fascist regime.

Trump’s labor secretary would oversee the Employee Benefits Security Administration. They make sure that employer health plans provide needed care. Contraception, reproductive care included. She’s an advocate for a RADICAL 6 week abortion ban. We can’t trust her in that position!

Canada, UK, Germany are primary targets for the Russia right now. Elon Musk is helping the Kremlin amplify its influence operations and bankrolling the politicians favourable to Putin. This is an attack on democracy and an operation to decrease support and aid for Ukraine.

Trump and his Secretary of Defense nominee have proposed purging military officers they view as too "woke." A Heritage funded group is proposing names: offers who served on a DEI panel, or written about race, or sought to recruit at a historically Black college. apnews.com/article/hegs...

Another female Air Force officer was on the list because she “served as a panelist for a diversity, equity and inclusion” discussion in 2021.

An Air Force colonel, who is white, was called out for an opinion piece he wrote following the death of George Floyd, saying, “Dear white colonel, we must address our blind spots about race.”

A female Air Force officer was targeted because of “multiple woke posts” on her X feed, including a tweet about LGBTQ rights, one about “whiteness” and another about honoring the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on a stamp.

The list names an Army officer who traveled to 14 historically Black colleges to expand the military’s intelligence recruitment efforts, and an Air Force officer partly because he co-chairs the Asian-Pacific Islander subgroup of the service’s diversity task force.

Underreported: Elon just picked the head of NASA—a massive conflict-of-interest that will damage a government entity that he partners with, depends on, and in some cases competes with. The nominated NASA director is a high-school dropout billionaire who is pals with Musk. He has no business at NASA.
