Right now, a second January 6th is unfolding.

Without crowds or weapons.

The tragic and entirely preventable aviation disasters that took place in the past few days are early symptoms of the cascading effects of Trump and King-in-Waiting Elon Musk's ongoing attempted coup. Because of the saturation coverage given to these two events, you may have missed the vicious, completely unconstitutional, ongoing destruction that is currently being visited upon the physical and administrative backbone of our government. Never mind the careers and lives being destroyed as we speak.

WHAT HAPPENED

Last night, Friday, January 31, 2025, Trump moved to complete the coup he began on January 6, 2021. He failed the first time, and he will fail again—because he has underestimated the American people.

RIGHT NOW, WE SHOULD:

... steel ourselves because things will get worse before they get better--but they will get better. It is a fool’s bet to assume that the American people will sit idly by as their freedoms are stolen by a corrupt oligarch and a convicted felon destroying the government to promote their selfish interests.

Fortunately, many independent political commentators are raising the alarm in ways the legacy media is not. BlueSky has become an indispensable source of resistance and information. Facebook is also emerging as a source of statements and leaks by government insiders.

To the extent you can, amplify those voices and add your own to the swelling chorus of alarm and indignation that will eventually stop Trump's unfolding coup. We stopped Trump's initial attempt to “freeze” grants and loans, and we can do it again.

HOW IT HAPPENED

You may already know that:

• Elon Musk and a team of DOGE infiltrators have taken over the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) by connecting non-government computer servers to the US personnel mainframe computers.

• They have reportedly seized private information about millions of federal employees. They have locked the senior managers of the OPM out of their agency’s computers. They have moved “sofa beds” into the OPM offices and put the offices into a “lockdown mode.”

• This hostile takeover of OPM allowed Musk to send an unauthorized memo inviting millions of federal employees to resign in exchange for eight months of “non working paid employment.”

You may not know that, last night:

• Elon Musk and a team of DOGE infiltrators have attempted to seize control of the US Treasury payments system—the gateway through which ALLfunds from the federal government flow. When a senior manager at the Treasury asked why Musk needed access to the highly sensitive system, the manager was immediately placed on leave. He chose to quit, instead.

• As of Friday evening, the Acting US Attorney for Washington, D.C., fired about 30 US Attorneys who prosecuted January 6 insurrectionists.

• Also on Friday evening, the FBI told eight of its most senior leaders to resign or be fired on Monday. Those senior officials head divisions of the DOJ responsible for cybersecurity, national security, and criminal investigations.

• The FBI has fired dozens of agents who worked on investigations of January 6 insurrectionists and has asked for a list of every agent across the USwho worked on the largest criminal investigation in the history of the FBI. That list will include hundreds—possibly thousands of FBI agents. It goes on.

• Dozens of government websites were taken offline on Friday, ostensibly to be scrubbed for references to diversity, gender, or human attributes that are not white, male, and Christian. The effort was brutish, clumsy, and ignorant. The Census Bureau website was offline as DOGE infiltrators attempted to remove references to the fact that America includes people who are not white male Christians. Websites relating to LGBTQ equality, women’s health, transgender issues, and scientific knowledge in general were taken down.

• Vast swathes of the Centers for Disease Control's website is now completely gone - including pages relating to vaccines, gender affirming care and more.

• The Pentagon has advised NBC, NYT, NPR, and other mainstream media outlets that they would be “rotated out of the building (i.e., the Pentagon)” to make room for NYPost, Breitbart, and OANN. Control of the press anyone?
