Summary

A federal judge temporarily blocked Elon Musk from accessing sensitive Labor Department data, a major win for unions concerned about worker privacy.

The lawsuit, filed by federal employee unions, argued that DOGE’s demands posed a threat to labor rights.

Union leaders praised the decision as a safeguard against government overreach.

DOGE has also faced restrictions on Treasury Department access and has taken control of USAID and the Office of Personnel Management, sparking high-profile resignations.

    And songs like “Which Side Are You On?” make it clear that it wasn’t easy.

      I’ve seen Dylan live, but I didn’t know he made an original till right now…

      I immediately thought of the Dead Prez version from a decade ago and wasn’t sure what was going on lol

        Pete Seeger was the first to record it. I cannot recall who the original songwriter was but her husband was a miner and not a scab for JH Blair. I strongly suggest finding one if the live versions from the earlier days if you can. It’s a great song to hear thousands singing in unison especially when you know most were unionized

          I searched it and saw a B Dolan version from like a dozen years ago and got mixed up.
