Nobody else has any rights
Institute of Peace violently invaded by the dictator.
Officials at an independent institute dedicated to promoting peace will ask a federal judge on Wednesday to block Trump administration officials and Elon Musk’s government cost-cutting team from mounting what they called a “lawless assault” against it.
The organization, the U.S. Institute of Peace, sued President Trump and others on Tuesday, asking the Federal District Court for the District of Columbia to intervene against what it said was an illegal “takeover by force.”
A standoff on Monday between the institute and Mr. Musk’s team ended when police officers helped evict staff members from the institute’s headquarters in Washington. That came after the White House has in recent days gutted the institute’s board and appointed a new acting president.
How do Musk and his “team” get to do whatever they want? Why do the police do their bidding?
Mr. Trump signed an executive order last month directing the institute to reduce its operations to the “statutory minimum.” But institute officials have said that Mr. Trump and Mr. Musk do not have the authority to dismantle its operations because the organization is a congressionally chartered nonprofit that is not part of the executive branch.
In the lawsuit, the institute said that the executive order incorrectly labeled the organization as a “government entity.” It accuses members of Mr. Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency and others of having “plundered” the agency’s office “in an effort to access and gain control of the Institute’s infrastructure, including sensitive computer systems.
But of course Musk and friends said they can do whatever they want and we can’t stop them.
1. Because Musk and his Muskrats are moving far faster than the Courts can and because Congress rolled over long ago.
2. Because that is how the Police have operated since time immemorial. They are workers who have been trained to be anti-worker and do the bidding of the bosses. They see themselves as part of the established order. They are excellent at following orders, without forethought or reflection.
While we’re on the subject of peace, we all know tRump is bitter about Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize and is desperate to get one for himself. This is why he is so keen on bring “peace” between Russia and Ukraine no matter the cost to Ukraine.
If/when there is finally an end to the war, the committee should award the prize to Zelenskyy, or if they really want tRump’s head to explode, a joint award to Zelenskyy and Putin. I’d pay to see that.
OMG
I HATE living in interesting times
That is grisly.
A non-elected fake non-officer of a fake non-existent governmental “department” can get the police to do his bidding to forcibly evict actual federal employees from their federal offices? WTF.
And see what the Trump regime is doing to Columbia University….
