Summary

Trump and Elon Musk’s campaign to cut federal employees has spurred mass layoffs, protests, and a new wave of resistance. Once apolitical, workers now say they have been ‘radicalized,’ leaking internal documents, filing lawsuits, and rallying online.

Musk’s DOGE has forced out thousands through controversial ‘deferred resignations’ and rushed performance tests. Some Republicans warn about compassion, but many support Trump’s push to slash staff.

The fired workers highlight harm to public services, arguing the cuts undermine democracy.

They vow continued opposition, while seeking broader political engagement.

    Fight back with a sign? With a lawsuit that will never see a court room?

    The rulers are giggling at this pathetic show of power, and while we are all distracted with ourselves they will bleed us dry and take our rights.
