To Fight the Trump/Musk Purge, Federal Workers Hold Nationwide Day of Action to "Save Our Services"



Today federal workers nationwide are calling for support for a “Save Our Services Day of Action” mobilizing nationwide in opposition to Elon Musk’s efforts to dismantle government agencies through the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE. Workers plan to protest outside of federal buildings and Tesla dealerships to show support for the work of federal agencies. “It’s not just about federal workers,” says Eric Blanc, author and assistant professor of labor studies at Rutgers University. “If they take out the federal unions, that’s our best block right now against Trump’s authoritarian power grab.” This comes as Musk has gained access to the sensitive information of millions of Americans, all the while laying off government workers en masse. The layoffs have affected the FAA, NIH, IRS and more.

just what percentage of those Federal Workers voted for Trump in 2016 and 2024.

I am normally not a vindictive or revengeful person, but this time around, it is pleasing to watch the Trump Voters starting to get included, along with us, in the suffering, totally due to THEM voting for Trump...............

of Musk invading and mining the lists of registered voters and what party they registered for, and using it to create lists of Registered Dem voters for future targeting.

Same with Musk obtaining ALL records the IRS possesses on every single taxpayer, which could be put to use by Trump/Musk on many issues......as well as the complete Social Security records on all workers.........

There is no question the Trumphumping voters are gonna get creamed, and he has already started. They were truly stupid having heard him say at rallies, "Vote for me this one last time, and you will never have to vote again"........what in hell do they think he meant by that? None of them even thought for a second, that what HE and the Republicans were telling them was that he they longer would need to cater to them, and that they have outgrown their usefulness............and will be crushed right along with them Demtards...
