Okay all -- few quick thoughts about the Elon Muskifying of the government, especially the takeover of the Treasury and associated financial data for every single US citizen and organization, that we are learning about in detail today.

Don't panic. This sounds bad, because it is bad. It's really, really bad. It's outrageously fascist bad. But we've still gotta take a deep breath and get through it.

This is the kind of shock-and-awe exercise of untrammeled fascist power where they are absolutely counting on gleefully terrorizing, paralyzing, and stunning you into mounting no resistance, or just giving up and giving in. They are literally live-tweeting it in real time and boasting about all the access and influence they have right now. They want you to know about it and feel like you can't do anything, so you might as well let it happen.

We have to show them that's not true.

TIME TO MAKE SOME NOISE. Because it's Sunday night, I've gone ahead and contacted my state Attorney General and both senators by email (but come Monday morning, we should all be calling). Here is the email that I wrote to my AG:

Dear Mr. [AG],

As you will be aware, today (February 2, 2025) the Trump administration has granted wide-ranging access to sensitive US Treasury data, including the personal and private information of [state] citizens, to Elon Musk's so-called "Department of Government Efficiency." Musk is an unelected private citizen who has no legal right to access this data, and is engaging in extensive intimidation and coercion to fulfill his personal and harmful ideological agenda. The present and material harm that this causes to US citizens, [state] residents, and basic laws of government, privacy, and financial security is direct, unconscionable, and actionable. I strongly urge you, in your capacity as [state] Attorney General, to file direct suit against the Trump administration, Elon Musk, the "DOGE" office, and any identifiable individuals who have taken part in this action, in order to protect consumer data, citizen privacy, and basic faith and trust in government.

All the best,

[Qqueenofhades]

Short! To the point! Doesn't waste time, tells him what I want him to do, how Elmo's nonsense directly harms the residents of my state, and why he should take action to stop it! And frankly, given how on-the-ball blue-state AGs have been thus far, they're probably already working on it. You are very welcome to copy-and-paste this message and fill in your AG's last name and your state as appropriate. Super easy to do. Takes five minutes. Call tomorrow.

If you are in a red state, your voice is particularly important right now. The Trumpsters are counting on and are even emboldened by blue state pushback, but you really need to make it start coming from Republican strongholds. Congressional Republicans will only feel the slightest amount of unease about docilely enabling this BS when it starts threatening their own personal power. Hit them where it hurts.

Other lawsuits are coming. Marc Elias, Democratic lawyer extraordinaire, is well aware of this situation and has noted on Bluesky that more lawsuits are in the works. He often wins his cases. This does not mean that you shouldn't loudly make noise elsewhere, but please remember that this is one of those 24-hour periods where, as noted, they are counting on demoralizing you with a nonstop blizzard of bullshit. It does not say anything about how this will play out long-term or the opposition that can and will be mobilized to stop it.

Once again: courage. Take the small steps that you can do today. Then take a breath and get off social media for a little while. Try to take the long view. One step at a time, we will get through this.

Courage.

The scientific process is a messy thing…

What will you do when the skeleton brothers and yourselves are pulled into the darkness and separated? Is your soul strong enough to reach out to theirs - and to get out of the darkness before it consumes you all?

Investigate the house that the Undertale, Underfell, Underswap, Swapfell brothers, and Q Sans of joliemariella’s Machinatale live in together to find out more about the strange circumstances that may play into how you can get out of this in one piece. With Papyrus at your side, you’ll find clues - and shenanigans - and maybe even deepen the bond with your skeletal friends.

In the end, whether you take your time or charge on ahead… it is your choices that will determine whether the day is saved.

DOWNLOAD [ SOUL REDACTED ] HERE!

Just over a month later, it’s ready-! [Soul Redacted] is an Undertale (&AU) fangame I’ve made, available now on GameJolt. Choose a player and name, and embark on a journey both dark and full of goofy skeletons.

Download the RPT Version if you’ve never played an RPGMaker game before (it comes with the needed files to run), or the non-RTP-version if you already have the necessary pieces installed.

Also, super shoutout to @jolie-in-the-underground for beta-ing this. Go give her love for being fantastic and also for her sassy son Q who was a delight to write into the game, holy heck.

i’m now going to go collapse out of relief and anxious hope that you all enjoy it it’s fine XD I really hope you have fun with the game! Reblog this post to share it around, and I’d love to know what you think of it! TvTb

Please don’t look away. This is REAL and SERIOUS.

so can we start hunting down white liberals now or what
