Important to remember this: most of these people do NOT swear allegiance to a president or a given administration. That's one of the supposed upsides of having a Constitution - there are and should be some rules that don't change every time the twat in the White House does.

Also kind of weirded out by all the geniuses saying "No, they should have stayed and sabotaged everything." I think they probably know the scope and limits of their job better than you, random Bluesky person.

Now we got the ball rolling.

Patriots

People are stepping up. Look at those recording an illegal assault in Idaho, ex Vikings punter Chris Kluwe speaking truth to power in Huntington, CA. 83-year old Bernie Sanders on a cross-country tour to hold in-person town hall meetings, with Americans. idahocapitalsun.com/2025/02/24/n...

Looks like a civil suit ready to go

Complicity makes it easier on fascists. These people are heroes!

💪

No one to watch where our data travel, though.

Wow, these workers have more guts than all the Rs in both houses of congress. Patriots 🇺🇸

The parents of the teenage doge hackers musta discovered their insulin is not $35 Biden cap anymore. And their grandparents noticed their Medicare and Social Security are not secure.

You’re speaking the truth!! I miss the era when integrity, courage, patriotism and kindness was a thing.💯💯💯

But we're missing out because we are left without talented people!

What a garbage headline.

FFS DON'T RESIGN! Force them to fire you. At least THEN you have recourse to sue. You quit you're done!

I was waiting for Rachel to do this last night.

apnews.com/article/doge... “Several of these interviewers refused to identify themslves, asked questions abt #politicalloyalty, attempted to pit colleagues against ea other, & demonstratd limited #technical ability,” staffers wrote in their letter. “This process created significant security risks.”

Everyone must do whatever they can to resist however they can.

They can’t work for #DOGE and be #FederalEmployees at the same time. DOGE is not an entity of the United States government! It is an unlegislated entity acting unconstitutionally as a department of the United States government! Elon Musk and his employees are guilty of #ImpersonatingFederalEmployees

Good for them! Sounds like they're really worried about what DOGE is doing with all of this info.

How do you go about canceling legal CONtracts with no CONsequenses?

Don the CON and his MuskRAT are proficient at those type of things .

If I was Musk and knew how many angry and desperate people were fed up with my contempt for US citizens and US law, I wouldn’t go outside without good body armor. It’s going to catch up to him at some point.

😀

lol

Soon hopefully 🙏

His kid is his body armor. He would never spend that much time with any of his kids unless they are serving a purpose for him.

Never thought about it that way. You may be right.

A man from IN was arrested for plotting to kill Musk. Guess it doesn’t matter if he did it. There are enough billionaires to take his place

There are, but maybe not as radical. It’s a very dangerous job, imo.

I imagine there are others plotting to kill him too. His days are probably numbered in 2 digits.

I hope it does catch up with him

Don’t we all!!

He definitely uses the kid for something sinister. Saw a video when he left the last GOP convention, just forgot about him and walked out. What a daddy!

I truly hope sooner rather than later!

How about critical military services and personnel… www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

This is very good but not enough to get us out of some very very serious trouble

This will only bring 21 new MAGA GOP SS more loyal to the cause of building the Republican Party Conservative White Supremacist 4th Kingdom. Nothing has changed and the rise of GOP Nazism is growing stronger every day.

Yes, but it's to the point that we need to hit rock bottom. This actually IS a reality. Rock bottom to stir the rest of us to rise to the top and get the muck gone from our lives. jmo

I hope they start their own company. One that they use all their expertise to fight this racist, greedy, criminal infested regime.

They should’ve countered and told musk and dimwit to show to the American public what they’ve done in last two weeks that’s actually work

See the problem is that they want to reduce the workforce. They want people to resign. It's only until they realize that those were critical positions and sh*t hits the fan before they decide to rehire them (assuming they even come back)

Again, " the little people." Stepping up to save OUR COUNTRY. Where are the GOP MOCs? The Democrats?

Lurv the T shirt.

Amazing to see courage and the determination to do the right thing. I hope they have all the inside information to get musk outed

Hope from youth!

What exactly is courageous about this? Loving a bloated, incompetent government is one thing, but pretending quitting instead of fixing problems is honorable is just pathetic. Lie to yourself all you want, but at least spare the public your delusions. There's no bravery in running away.

Thank you for your integrity...

Wow. Very good to read.

I would also like to salute the honor and courage of those who stay and fight behind the lines.

As a retired military member, your bosses learn quickly that if they fuck around with their subordinates, there are ways to destroy careers from the inside without ever doing anything illegal or unethical. Compliance at its best.

We don’t need good people resigning, we need them there slowing things down and documenting everything! They need to stay and witness, not resign.

A big thumbs up to them standing up for their ethics and not enabling this horrible take over!I wish them and their families all the best!

Kudos to all of you for your courage and dedication to the constitution

It's sad that people must choose to either keep their job or to honor their oath and keep their integrity. :-(

Heroes

American heros.

And these are former Google and Amazon IT people with the knowledge Musk needs to keep that office running. So now his department will hopefully fail spectacularly. Will he be sending himself an email of the things he accomplished last week?

The writing is on the wall. Everyone at the fbi should also resign unless they want to be part of his immoral forces.

I actually think they should not resign. They should push back & use their collective power to make clear that they will not accept the director & deputy director who are unqualified & unexperienced instead of career agents who have developed an expertise that cannot be matched anywhere else

That will be great if everyone has and obeys their moral centre. If all they do is use their skills in service of the people’s enemy then they’re better off resigning.

We were just following orders, is not an excuse. After the next presidential election, I want to see these assholes headed to prison. Not 2 years after Jan 21, the day of Jan 21 2028.

We MUST get 1/3 of the population off their asses and voting! Fuck the felon voters. They will always vote for the felon. It is the 35% of the population who did not vote, we must get them off their apathetic asses and to the polls

Please know it’s not just apathy that blocks people from voting. Often people can’t get the day off, or don’t feel they can drag their kids to stand in a line that’s going to take hours. They’ve made it hard for people to vote, on purpose. On top of the issues, yes, there is apathy.

I do understand that. Yet I have personally spoken to ,many, many young people who just are not interested. I have heard, I don't pay attention to politics, so many times! I have heard, I am too busy and have a lot going on. I have heard, they're all the same and it makes no difference to vote. ETC.

I have heard those same things, then it’s incumbent upon us to have conversations with these people to help them understand EVERYTHING is political. They need to care. They are not “lazy” their disenfranchised.

If people find it to be important. They will move accordingly. If people do not believe that voting is important they’re not going to do anything about it. Like I said people are lazy. Because you can’t tell me that the people that did vote don’t have the same problems as the people who don’t vote

People that did vote may live VERY DIFFERENTLY than those who didn’t. Where are unhoused people getting a mail-in ballot? Can’t have a PO BOX without an address. I believe everyone should vote, I also know that I don’t know everyone’s circumstances. I also don’t think people are inherently lazy.

I’m not talking about unhoused people. In fact I know a bunch of people who I live around who refused to vote! And it’s none of the reasons that you listed.

Did you have conversations with them about how everything boils down to politics and help them understand their vote really can sway things, or did you write them off?

You say that like the rest of us also don’t have those same problems. Everyone could use it as an excuse. People are just lazy and don’t want to be bothered.

YES, YES, YES!!! 90 fucking million sat on the couch.

THE MAD MAN AND HIS SOLDIERS ARE GOING TO KILL CHILDREN, THE ELDERLY, DISABLED, VETERANS AND CELEBRATING THIS CRUELTY! AT LEAST 17 MILLION AMERICANS WILL LOSE HEALTHCARE COVERAGE UNDER DONALD TRUMP’S BIG UGLY BILL.

THIS IS PART OF DONALD TRUMP’S WORLDWIDE CAMPAIGN OF CRUELTY TO AMERICANS!!! GET EDUCATED! HOUSE AND SENATE REPUBLICANS DID THIS AND NOW IT IS BECOMING LAW!

youtu.be/b0q-UoMwc3A?...

Oh yeah...

I regularly have a gripe with AP's headlines. It often feels like a conservative is writing them. The tech employees are quitting because they no longer want to work "to dismantle critical government services." Why isn't that the headline? Those are literally their exact words.

#Patriots

Honorable people rejoice! You’re not a dying breed after all. 👏🏻 Take a bow, 21!

Thanks god for DOGE. The US is a democracy run by the people and not a bureaucracy run by unelected officials. There will be a lot of unproductive government employees losing their jobs. This is a good thing. They can find productive jobs in the private sector and off the tax payers dime.

Sooo... Now those positions will just be filled by stooges... Great.

Kiss my ass and then get out of my country.

That's the spirit. This is something missing by the democrats, some GFYish fighting spirit. But this must be followed by actual actions... But that was great 😎

bsky.app/profile/henl...

If we fail to send a loud strong message then it's over !

I agree with Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett.

From my understanding, based upon news articles: this group of 21 employees were the ones who understood how the legacy systems worked. Without them, it severely hampers Elon's DOUCHE from doing anything and is a major blow. If true, I call that a win.

Yeh but I worry they might have been the only gatekeepers between those systems and the DOGE douchebags

This is important context tbh. Since pretty much everyone else here is saying they should have stayed and forced Elon to fire them. But “let it rot then” works too

My main point. If they were the legacy system people or all the admins for any system, it’s a major setback. Could be catastrophic if security is tight enough.

Texas chainsaw massacre for real...

Now you're fighting for a bigger government? Bizzaro world is real

Oversight helps keep government out of your day to day. The founders created the checks and balances just *so* other people would watch other's work. If you want government to impact you less, you at least want *some* infrastructure checking in.

This is the way.

Yeah, but did they not just help muzzzzk to win? This looks like a lot of big wigs taking "responsibility" in politics', by leaving their posts..

I can’t love this more 💙

Thank them.

bsky.app/profile/henl...

And every month hence onwards. Maybe make it the 6th though?

I’m doing this everyday. I have been doing my own overspending for years. Buying unnecessary items and giving billionaires my hard earned money. February 28th and going forward I will boycott any organizations who support trump and his agenda and only purchase food and necessities to live.

Thank you!!

It's going to be hard, for me, but I'm going to do the same. My conscious and bank account will thank me.

I’ve been doing it since January ! Canceled amazon, no target. I shop at Costco, also Sprouts.

How is Sprouts? It’s new to my area and they are building one down the street from me. Do they have organic selections?

I shop there when I'm in the city. The closest one to me is an hour drive. It's a bit pricey kinda like Trader Joes.

Exactly!

There are patriots in our government at the work level. Too bad there are none at the top level!

Courage is contagious, but unfortunately, so is cravenness. We must support the brave. If one of these heroes applies to work for you, hire them. Make D-OGE, E-limination,I-nspiration hires.

These 21 amazingly moral people are heros

What should be scaring everyone is what is it exactly that they were being asked to do? Sounds like they were all very experienced with managing multiple critical systems. Is Elon intentionally trying to break critical government systems so they fail?

I hope they have a plan to work together to publicize what those creeps are really up to. Diabolical Or Grifting Everywhere.

Hats off to them!!!

Hoping to avoid prosecution

Hear, hear!!! 👏👏👏

Why resign when they can foil from the inside?

Wouldn’t it be better if they stayed and fought back by undermining and subverting doge efforts? Instead of giving up so easily, walking out, only to be replaced by people willing to do great harm?

Not when they are the ones who know how the systems work. People in technical roles are hard to replace because they are so specialised. We are having this same problem at work currently. Even with training by the person who built the system it will be months before their replacement is up to speed.

Doesn’t doge have a long line of people itching to get into those systems? Do you think it will take long to figure it out? Longer than if the people stayed and led a resistance from inside?

They may be itching to get into them but they haven't a clue how they actually work. If noone is there who knows how it works the system might as well have been deleted.

I hope you’re right. I think the comparison to your work is not. Doge has highly motivated and “skilled” people unafraid to break everything with no consequences. It is not the same conditions as your workplace. People leaving just makes it easier to continue their drug fueled blitzkrieg on govt.

You have literally no idea what my workplace is. And no Doge doesn't have "skilled" people it has teenagers. You forget information out of a system by breaking it.

Respect

All those gutless Republican senators should take note

They were actually from the original United States Digital Services (uncleverly renamed DOGE) that President Obama created in 2014.

These were legacy USDS employees, some going back to the Obama Administration.

Heros, every one of them. I wish everyone could walk off the job and say fuck you to them.

George, please use alt text.

Bravo! Put that shit on your resume and see how fast you get hired!! Loyalty and bravery and doing the right thing, are never out of style!! #Heroes

Yeah. I'd be building a lot of back doors before I left.

👏👏👏❤️🇺🇸

We need insiders in Musk world to find courage to blow the whistle on his shenanigans, especially if he did order hacking of the election. We need truth with evidence of every shady thing he and Trump have done and are doing with the help of their minions and foreign actors

The wife and I got in huge argument, since the elected Dems are just begging for money instead of doing something physical, I think she’s right, f the Democrats and run, if they don’t give an F, I probably should just f’ing run away too. F$&@ing elected Dems just sitting around collecting money.

We need those skills on our side

I get it, but now there not there to protect anything either. This just sucks.

Whether it is the one fight on the front lines, facilitating supplies, reconning & providing up to date info or those providing distraction or a holding action the battle is rarely won by a single person. They are all essential to the fight.

Folks, this is courage.

I shudder to think who will fill their positions.

#USprotests #3E #Washintondc

I'm so proud of what these people did, it's not often you see people willing to lose their jobs, resign than rather be a part of a plan that hurts the people.

Yes, but now there are fewer rational people acting as guardrails.

It's not the size of government they are trying to destroy, it's the funcationality.

So they can install a puppet CEO to maintain each agency in order to make it barely functional. The CEO reports directly to Trump

Isn’t America meant to have lots of highly trained elite military snipers? If so, why is Musk still around?

Im starting to believe that everything was and is, a lie.

I often asked myself why, with all that immunity that Biden was blessed with and a mighty military, he didn't just pick up the phone. And then I remembered that President Biden had a conscience, compassion, empathy and just a really good man. And probably wouldn't be able to live with that.

Patriots!

Running away and letting fascists replace them isn't courageous or honorable. Sorry not sorry 🤷‍♂️

THEY DON’T CARE THEY WILL REPLACE WITH LOYALISTS

Hitler replaced his cabinet with loyalists too, didn't work out so well for them either. Let's just skip to the end and take these MFers down now!

Let hitler's end be their guidepost.

True...but it cost 80m lives to get to the center of that Charms Pop.

Which is why we need to skip to the end now

So did Stalin. What a shitshow.

Don’t forget Putin ! Either do or dead! That’s their spirit.

Elon Musk has fired over 10,000 Americans.. As he lines his pockets with new government contracts www.cnn.com/2025/02/25/b...

Joint letter from 21 tech staff will, I hope, have an impact. These are very smart and skilled people.

Are the unions not considering strike action? Surely, the way to challenge the bullying and ineptitude of Trump/Musk is to show the US people what this purge will lead to.

They are nothing less than heros.

And most definitely not in the form of a GOP senator.

Respect.

He doesn't know americans are ready for that motherfucker.

I thank them for helping DOGE. I love it when a plan works out

Worse than all the cuts, & that's really awful for all those people, they are using a slash and dash method. They are laying off essential people who know what needs to be done, how & when to do it. Those agencies are very likely to flounder for a long time until they can get replacements hired. :(

They did the right thing : The gov has responsibility to assess the impact of policy changes ,under APA .. and professional negligence w criminal implications is real .. so...

Amen

💙💚💛🧡❤️💜 Please share: ECONOMIC BLACKOUT begins Friday, Feb 28. Eat food from your own kitchen. Don't spend money at Walmart, McDonald's, Target, Amazon, etc. Don't gas up your car. If you must buy something, support your small local businesses. Stop giving your money to billionaires!

What was the final straw? Presumably they’ve been doing this for a month . . .

Hopefully they form some paid alliance paid by those with means.

Surprising but welcome development.

Yes

"Its so easy to be a hero in a time rife with traitors and cowards" youtu.be/GniXKXUkBNw?...

Great people!

👏👏👏👏👏👏

Courage is contagious ❤️

Well done.

Imagine taking an oath to protect and defend the Constitution and then actually doing it?!?!?!? Never see that in the Felon47 Administration (the protecting part)!

There will be a worldwide workers revolution by the summer. Pun intended:

Courage… what most Republican lack👎

True service to your country

"Let them eat cake" - Marie Antoinette Just a thought... If she's trying to portray power, then with her deranged husbands actions, this quote makes sense.

MAGA delenda est #magadelendaest

Patriots

It is good to know that there are some with integrity in that nasty little group. damnit. They should know better. They should use the brains they have to research and see that the man with the money is so damned corrupt, it is disgusting and very apparent. So don't tell me you didn't know.

They were US career civil servants who found themselves transferred to DOGE, not any of Musk's acolytes

Awesome!!!!

Thank you for standing up with integrity for righteous universal principles which a grifting conman and unsavory billionaire can never steal from you!

Bravo to you all and thank you!

We need these 20 people! Who are they and how can they be brought into our side??

Good, resignations are just as good!

What was rude about my post BlueSky? Nothing was, you’re just a bunch of fucking communists! Now that’s rude! Cancel me! I’d be fine with that. This is just a commie shithole echo chamber anyway. That’s why it’ll fail!

BLESS these brave folks. 💖

now get these people to tell the court what illegal shit elon was doing.

anyone with morals and values at all would be like this is super sketchy, sounds illegal and sounds like he wants to destroy lives and .. bow out.

Real American patriots.👍🏼

And they'll now be replaced with Pedo-Shitler loyalists who will do 10x the harm. They could have documented this and become whistleblowers and informants on the Republican 4th Reich.

They should STAY and gum up the works! There are NO RULES anymore!

Honorable civil servants…

These people signed on. Nobody twisted their arms. They knew what they signed up for. Because it went to hell and people are pissed... No. No sympathy or patting them on the back now.

In a Galaxy far, far away, there was an uprising against tyranny and oppression. They won! From little things.....

After all his antics I think it’s time to ask as a “federal employee” shouldn’t he be subject to drug testing to make sure his is fit to do his “job”? Would love to see the results of a drug screening on this wacko, he gets stranger by the hour.

Good on them! 💙💙💙

Too bad they didn't also fix the systems so no one could highjack them again.

This is what these evil gits don't understand, we are going to lose many skilled public servants. The destruction of our country is on the way. And MAGAts are cheering every step. Traitors!!!!

The "Ketamine Kid" might need a booster shot!

How is it that they swore an oath to the Constitution when DOG-E is not a legal part of the government?

Indeed.

They should KEEP WORKING, but really SLOW and be really INCOMPETENT at their job. Mu-ha-ha-ha!!!!

Thank you! In contrast, I just saw a very vile AG Pam Bondi say that she will do everything in her power to protect her friend, Elon Musk.

You know, when trolling you should try and post a meme that’s clever and hits a nerve with the target group and annoys them because of it. Your meme is just annoying because it’s really bad and dumb.

Well, clearly it struck a sensitive nerve with you and a few others, so, what do you have your panties in a twist about?

The resigned from DOGE. Not before DOGE audited them. Dingbat.

While commendable, I feel like it would have served everyone better if they stayed and refused, forcing Musk and his cronies to fire them and disrupting their efforts even for a moment.

And making it public. Along with the faces of these DOGEbags.

👏

not so sure this was a wise move. the felon and f'elon want to remove anyone capable so they can justify tearing everything down.

Jasmine Crocket was just asked by reporter if she could, what would she say to Elon Musk? Her reply: Fuck Off! Im loving me Some Jasmine! And Elon Musk! FUCK ALL THE GODDAMNED WAY OFF! AMEN!!!

She is the future of the party! She’s is a FORCE. 🔥

What I think is: since Leon is so talented at astro-technology and stuff, he should be a legendary trailblazer and take off for Mars at the soonest opportunity. We will gather in large masses to thank him for his bravery and wave him off.

Absolutely!

I have been sharing this story myself. This is what patriotic looks like, people!

We are grateful for your sacrifice.

If Trump ran GM he would remove brakes, seatbelts, assisted steering and air bags to make their cars more efficient #MagaLogic and his supporters would buy them.

They have bigger balls than our Republican leaders! Hey, I made a funny…😂👏🏻

This is what we need to see from our Congresspeople & US Senators. Do what the late Congressman John Lewis did in the House at the Well, Led a sit-in for 26 hours on 6/21/2016 when the GOP didn't debate Gun Safety. www.nytimes.com/2016/06/23/u...

I do agree with this… but how is this better if they leave?

THOSE are patriots! When one stands up against tyranny & fascism, those are brave and patriotic Americans ✊🏻

So they can tell everyone what's going on.

And yet THE SLASHING goes on!

Golly.. Musk’s “Mustapo” taking some much-needed “hits”?

That's not courage nor honour, that's giving up and giving the coup what they want. People need to stand up for their rights while they still have them. Fight back. If they say you're fired, ignore it. Stand your ground, preferably as a group united.

The should be a bellwether for the MAGAishly. THIS IS NOT NORMAL PEOPLE!!!!

They were going to be fired anyway after they did the kinglets bidding! What they should do is encrypt every system the have access to delete library files, just fuck shit up! Then resign‼️🤨

IT nerds represent!

George you should read this piece on Substack, it’s completely accurate to the down fall of our democracy www.notesfromthecircus.com/p/the-plot-a...

Thank you Shanon. It’s well written and probably very accurate. This is what I’ve been telling my children. We’re distracted by the noise and worried about the data while the systems are being put in place.

Yes, it’s a distraction, kind of. They want you to think they’re fixing it and they’re not, they’re deleting it and putting a whole new system in place that doesn’t function around democracy or a constitution. That’s why Vance owns a side business that buys property and sells to billionaires.

👍 Good read: DOGE is not about efficiency. It is about erasure. Democracy is being deleted in slow motion, replaced by proprietary technology and AI models. It is a coup, executed not with guns, but with backend migrations and database wipes.

Absolutely! We need to figure out different ways to stop what’s happening and fast. Thank you BethE for reading and giving it your thoughts.

So important to repost information that is providing depth of knowledge into subject. Thanks for your contribution 👍💙💙💙💙

Absolutely!

💙

heroes all

If you ask me they should have stayed and thrown every wrench into every cog to slow them down or sabotage them. That would have been fighting back.
