We're past the "don't obey in advance" stage and now into the "don't you get it? Obeying won't save you!" stage......
Yikes.
Well this was inevitable, wasn't it?

“The February employment report is the first of the Trump administration. While we are not likely to pick up much of the effect of the DOGE cuts, we should see some impact. ... However, we are likely to see an effect on the hiring side. Many businesses have put hiring plans on hold, as they wait to see what DOGE will try to cut and what the courts will uphold.”

Fuck #TMobile. Users of the service are now in league with #elonmusk. This isn’t an electric car that will stop you from polluting. You can get a #cellphone from other providers. They won’t be the second biggest investment you can make in your life. “But I need #starlink. I live too far from cities to get the #internet”. You’re also a #racist asshole who lives away from people to avoid knowing that your greed hurts others.
#DonaldKrasnovTrump is destroying our country on behalf of our enemies.
The Senator brings up a good point: does the Cabinet *really* matter than much right now?
“Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) is urging Republicans to call on Elon Musk to testify before the Senate labor committee in order to probe who in the Trump administration is truly in charge, as the Senate continues advancing cabinet picks in spite of Musk seemingly being behind most major decisions.”

I've had that conversation twice so far. When someone says "it's so weird, I wonder how Musk got there?" I answer "Because he paid a quarter-billion dollar bribe, that's why."
Some of this feels a bit ageist, but if they’re not willing to to fight for their constituents, then they need to go, whoever they are: “Democratic officials have taken their base for granted for far too long. ... And even if primary challenges don’t succeed, they are still worth doing to put some fear into electeds, and force them to stand up to Trump.”

„And as much fun as we all are having watching Congress render itself irrelevant and wondering whether the courts even matter, there’s a concrete nightmare looming. Mass unemployment, the defunding of crucial social programs, and just plain incompetence mean that America, as we know it, is already in for hard times.“

The Democrats absolutely need to stand up and be the ones framing the debate, and the fight against this insanity:
“Stories about average Americans being hurt by the freeze on popular domestic programs are powerful—of course we should lead with those. But stories about betraying American values and the Americans who sacrifice for our country overseas can be powerful, too.”

How to Organize Our Way Out of the Trump-Musk Putsch
"We have planted ourselves in stubborn opposition to monomaniacal fascists of one form or another for a quarter of a millennium. No entitled reality-TV has-been backed by an addle-brained billionaire who cheats at video games is going to roll over us now."
