If you’re as scared about Musk taking over the Treasury department computers as I am, and live in driving range of Washington, DC, please try to get to the rally that will be held at the Treasury Dept. tomorrow, Tuesday, Feb 4, at 5 pm.

Thanks to anyone who can go and help stop this coup. If I still lived in Maryland, instead of Massachusetts, I’d be there.

Here is the livestream of the event. They got lots of senators and congresspeople, including both Massachusetts senators, Ed Markey and Elizabeth Warren, Jamie Raskin of Maryland, and many others.
