Elon Musk installs illegal server to seize all federal workers’ data
Elon Musk’s DOGE henchmen are helping him make his most terrifying power grab yet.
Summary
Elon Musk allegedly installed an unauthorized server at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), gaining access to sensitive federal employee data, including Social Security numbers, home addresses, and medical histories.
Young, inexperienced staffers are reportedly using this access to target positions for removal, particularly DEI offices.
Security concerns have been raised, with fears of hacking and HIPAA violations.
Senior officials have been locked out of key systems, limiting oversight of DOGE’s actions, which could significantly impact the federal workforce.

There really was no plan at all about preventing fascists from just marching in and doing whatever they want, huh? We were just supposed to count on people to do the right thing? Surprised this didn't happen sooner, honestly.
All the laws that were put in place after Nixon didn't really lay out a punishment. They assumed impeachment would still be the remedy used. Not sure what changed between the 70s and now that made senators afraid to challenge their president.
A republic. If you can keep it.
Narrator: "They couldn't."
Checks and balances.
Checks and balances.
Checks and balances.
Fascism and collapse.
Oops.
The Judicial system is being gish galloped. Let's see if Congress gives a shit especially as Elon has usurped the Power of the Purse.
I guess the idea was always that the public would need to stop the gish gallop until the judicial system has caught up to restore the balance. In the hopes that there would still be an executive power functional enough to enforce the ruling.
Narrator: They didn't
No one is supposed to follow illegal orders. But, who is to say what's illegal and isn't? And who are you going to call when they force you? The people executing Trumps orders? Is it worth not going home to your family over, or should you just let the courts decide? And who is to adjudicate your guilt? And can you even afford to fight it? Not if you're a non-corrupt civil servant.
No, there is no plan for the country choosing evil.
If they don't follow their illegal orders they will still arrested them or fire them for insubordination. If something is done in the end those people will not get their jobs back or have their records cleared or be compensated in any way.
Meanwhile the perps won't get shit done to them.
It was built into the system, one way or another. The founders were morons. Even at its best, you have a few hundred people you have to corrupt to take over the entire country.
The Iroquois Nation will retain its title for longest lasting known democracy on North American soil
Are they accepting refugees? Or did we wipe them out?This was supposed to be funny, but tbh I'm too ignorant to made a decent joke about it. Obviously they would just be under US jurisdiction if they still exist, and probably don't have that kind of power, but fuck maybe it's time for native Americans to kick the rest of us back to the sea because we obviously don't deserve their land.

In their defense, there's no way they could have imagined the modern world. The system worked okay for the world they lived in, but it became woefully inadequate over the next 200 years or so. They probably hoped that future generation were the ones that wouldn't be morons.
It didn't work okay for the world they lived in. Alien and Sedition acts were in, what, the second presidency?
Story of my life, too. I always expect people to do the right thing... but they never do.
