Summary
Thirteen Democratic attorneys general, led by New York’s Letitia James, plan to sue to block Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from accessing federal payment systems containing sensitive personal data.
Concerns include security risks and potential disruptions to Social Security and Medicare.
A federal judge ruled that only two Musk allies could have “read-only” access.
DOGE allegedly seeks control to halt payments to agencies like USAID.
Too late unfortunately.
Also suing them does nothing? The DOJ has been weaponized.
Going a step beyond non-violent protests would be better.
Civil suits are not in DOJ purview
I understand that, but I also don’t expect this administration to play by ANY of the former rules or laws.
Defeatist mentality only helps nazi’s.
Lmao fascist will never be stopped by paperwork
Right now the defeatest mentality is sitting around and asking nicely for our elected representatives to stop supporting a fascist agenda while they ignore us and keep supporting fascism.
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
Bold talk, you’re here posting negativity. Show us how it’s done!
Well for you specifically, don’t listen to that little part of your brain that gives you dopamine for attacking people unless you actually focus your energy twoards an actual enemy. Unity is more important than ever as the right seeks to kill minorities and put immigrants in camps.
For everyone:
Get involved with local organizations that foster community and support systems that can enable general strikes.
Go to city council meetings, email every politician in your area with a list of what they should and should not support, and be very vocal. Make it clear if your local government supports the goals of the Trump admin then your organizations will support their opposition and they will be removed from office.
Fight right wing ideologies in every space. If your coworker, friend, family, random stranger says some bigot shit snap at them and force them to feel ashamed. Make sure they understand this rhetoric from the right leads to shooting each other in the streets over cosmetics.
I’m doing my part in my town.
If you’ll read what I’ve written here you’ll note I haven’t attacked anyone.
Glad to know you ignored everything else because you just want someone to bitch at.

You only wrote two sentences for me, the rest was for everyone else. You are being a negative person who is making it harder for others to fight fascisn. Good luck on your struggles.
If you take a peek at their profile, that seems to be their m.o.
I only found this thread because I was curious what would lead a person to treat me like they treated me yesterday. It seems they’re either a very angry person or they are trying very hard to sew discord in the West.
I’m unfortunately not confident that the administration would respect a ruling that’s not in their favor if it did happen. Will somebody actually enforce the ruling?
Exactly, they already got access…
