In case you missed it, resistance fighters from agencies under attack by Elon and the Muskrats have established 'alt' or 'rogue' identities on BlueSky, sharing important and interesting information anonymously.
A member of RogueSSA (Social Security Administration) tells us that as soon as the judge ruled against Doge interference in social security, knowledgeable persons stepped in and cancelled their access to the systems.

But "dodgy" would be my second choice.

(1,492 posts)The only way we are going to win is if the Feds in Agencies are able to fight back. This is a good court ruling, and it empowers the fed workers to stand up to DOGE. It is great that there are still good people in the Social Security Administration that are there to do the right thing. So this is a very important development. We need to reproduce it throughout the federal government.

(16,700 posts)I doubt there an instruction to wipe the DOGE kidscredentials and access from the Acting Commissioners Office. Heads will roll to set a clear example for other would be saboteurs throughout the federal executive agencies.

(1,492 posts)You are probably right but we must do whatever we can to retard and slow the takeover and destruction of the federal government. Short of an armed uprising, there isn't much else we can do to stop Trump Musk.

(12,694 posts)of SSI and IRS, etc who are getting royally screwed.... etc, I can't believe that the handful of smug, arrogant, quasi geeks Musk sends into their buildings to fuck things up and commandeer records, ever come back out at the end of the day...................
Sorta like the old *ROACH HOTEL* ads: *Once they "check in" they never "check out"* and just held in the basement, or un-disclosed location, somewhere so that they cannot keep doing massive damage....
I have to think there are means of covertly resisting that could at least slow down these cockroaches of Trump and MusK.
Much like the underground resistance in France and other countries during Hitler's Psychopathic Reign.....
Treat Musk's minions, the same way these groups are treated by the MAGA Trumphumpers......

Immigrant women say they were held "like animals" in ICE detention and subjected to conditions so extreme they feared for their lives.
Chained for hours on a prison bus without access to food, water or a toilet. Told by guards to urinate on the floor. Held "like sardines in a jar," as many as 27 women in a small holding cell. Sleeping on a concrete floor. Getting one three-minute shower over three or four days in custody.
"We smelled worse than animals," one detainee said. "More girls were coming every day. We were screaming, begging them, 'You cant let them come.' They didnt have space."
Four women were held in February at the Krome North Processing Center in Miami a detention center reserved for men. ICE took the women into custody on alleged immigration violations, but none has a criminal background, according to a review of law enforcement records. They shared their experiences with USA TODAY on condition of anonymity, fearing retaliation by the government because they are still detained.

Mercury's exosphere is composed mostly of oxygen, sodium, hydrogen, helium, and potassium.
Mercury's magnetic field is offset relative to the planet's equator. Though Mercury's magnetic field at the surface has just 1% the strength of Earth's, it interacts with the magnetic field of the solar wind to sometimes create intense magnetic tornadoes that funnel the fast, hot solar wind plasma down to the surface of the planet. When the ions strike the surface, they knock off neutrally charged atoms and send them on a loop high into the sky.
