An excellent column by a federal worker describing Musk-DOGE grab of private information and more. slate.com/news-and-politics/20…

I’m a Federal Worker. People Don’t Understand the Level of Heist Elon Musk Is Perpetrating.

Things are bleak.

While I feel very much for the writer and for all the good people in our govt, I don’t understand the analysis that says on the one hand, many (most?) fed workers are understanding that they will end up leaving one way or another, but on the other hand cannot “afford” to actually stand up to this smash-and-grab. If you’re pretty sure you won’t have a job soon, doesn’t that give you some freedom to act now?

This reminds me of 2015 Poland. Back then newly elected PiS government has put a nutcase/alleged Russian agent in charge of our defence. One of the first thing he did was to sent his 20-something sidekick to de facto illegally invade NATO counterintelligence centre in Warsaw and steal data from there: theguardian.com/world/2015/dec…

PiS happens to be a party of Dominik Tarczyński, a right-wing radical whose 1 hour long interview Musk recently promoted on 卐, formerly known as Twitter.

It worth to mention that during their 8 years in Power PiS almost managed to almost completely submit government institutions, annoyed every single of our international partners, made Poland a pariah that nobody wanted to listen to seriously, incited against gay and trans people, curbed women's rights, hounded migrants and refugees and persecuted political oponents.

8 years of their rule left our major institutions such as Constitutional Tribunal or judicial system in ruins.

If you want to know what to expect, do some reading about the most recent Polish history...

...then multiply by 10. Because we are a parliamentary democracy. Nor president, nor a prime minister is as powerful as US president. And while they might have been dickheads or idiots none of them was a deranged loony like Trump.
