Headline & text from article (edited for length): Headline: The federal tech workers facing down DOGE What it's like to be a federal worker during the dark days of Elon Musk's DOGE campaign Brian Merchant Feb 14, 2025 Text: Over the last few weeks, as Elon Musk & DOGE have infiltrated govt agency after govt agency, proclaiming their intent to slash budgets, cut jobs, & embrace AI, we’ve watched a brazen, extralegal effort to hollow out the state unfold in real time. Now up to 200,000 workers are being targeted in mass layoffs. Much of the collective horror has stemmed from the broader implications this campaign—orchestrated by an unelected tech billionaire who has enriched himself with govt contracts—has for our democracy. It has after all been carried out with no congressional oversight & often in stark defiance of judicial orders. It’s been called a coup, or an autogolpe, a coup from inside, or American authoritarianism. But it’s also happening to real people, who are experiencing it all in excruciating, real-time dread... I’ve been talking with federal tech workers about what’s happening, how they’re processing it, and how they’re pushing back. I’ve spoken to workers representing the full spectrum: From 10-year veterans to first-year tech workers in their probationary periods... and from different departments across the government. I wanted to share some of their stories, with their permission, because they help illuminate what’s going on at the personal level

And with the main parties in hock to gambling companies, will anything happen? Like feck it will. Labour and the Tories will sell anyone and everything for power.
