THIS IS HAPPENING. AND YOU DO NOTHING

Nothing screams EMERGENCY like the image of National Guard troops in DC spreading mulch around cherry trees and picking up trash. And the orange safety vests over camo uniforms is a nicely done indignity to their public service. The plan to weaken DC for federal takeover is working. The GOP Congress is starving the beast by freezing their funding. One of the casualties must be maintenance staff. The administration has taken control of Union Station, the key transportation lines into and out of the city. It also will create a federal presence in an area where veterans have been protesting. FEMA is on the rocks. 182 concerned staff wrote a letter warning of the threat to public safety. True to course, the 36 brave souls who attached their names were put on administrative leave. A Social Security whistleblower claims that a senior DOGE official put a copy of a key SS database on a server that was vulnerable to hacking. The DOGE employee copied the names, birthdays, and SS numbers of more than 300M Americans to an unsecure cloud server accessible to other DOGE employees. The CDC director has been fired after accusing RFK Jr of “weaponizing public health for political gain,” and said that his purge of health officials put “millions of American lives at risk” as a result of the systematic destruction of our public health systems. The CDC’s chief medical officer, the director of its infectious disease center, the head of its center for immunization and infectious diseases, and the director of the office of public health data also resigned. ICE is spending $1.2B of taxpayer money to build a new tent facility at Fort Bliss in Texas to hold 1000 people. ICE wants to conduct its Fort Bliss facility without any public scrutiny. “There shall be no public disclosure regarding this contract made by the contractor (or any subcontractors) without review and approval of such disclosure by the ICE Office of Public Affairs. The government considers such information privileged or confidential. The contractor shall notify the COR when a member of the U.S. Congress or any media outlet requests information or makes a request to visit the facility. The contractor shall coordinate all public information related issues with the CO. All press statements and releases shall be cleared, in advance, with the ICE Office of Public Affairs.” And to prove they’re earning their taxpayer funded paychecks, ICE showed up in WA state and lined up firefighters combating a wildfire so the agents could check their IDs. The agents arrested two firefighters, and when the a member of the crew asked for the chance to say goodbye, the agents responded: “[Y]ou need to get the f*ck out of here. I’m going to make you leave.” One firefighter said: “You risked your life out here to save the community. This is how they treat us.” Yes it is. This is how America treats all of us. Just please stop saying it’s being done in the name of we the people.
