Summary
David Lebryk, the longest-serving career official at the U.S. Treasury, is resigning after a conflict with Elon Musk’s allies over access to a key government payment system.
Musk’s team has sought control of the system, which distributes $6 trillion annually in Social Security, Medicare, federal salaries, and other payments.
Traditionally, only career officials handle it.
Lebryk’s departure raises concerns, as he served under multiple administrations, including Trump’s, and was widely respected for his nonpartisan leadership.
His exit signals growing instability in financial governance.
To be fair, when Europeans take to the streets their government sometimes listens.
When Americans take to the streets, we don’t get anything but get our eye sockets broken by rubber bullets and tear gas grenades.

Thankfully I don’t live in that godforsaken country, so no thanks. I’m plenty busy with the government up here to prevent things from deteriorating as far as they did in the declining empire down south.

I’ve seen no mass movement whatsoever, but it’s possible I missed it somehow.
Agent provocateurs are often interested in cataloging movements and their members. It would serve your purposes to keep to your own efforts in Canada.
Fair enough. Best of luck to you and be sure to encrypt everything.
For those interested, if you’re organizing use E2E comms and if you’re researching use Tor Browser. Better yet use a Tails USB on a coffee shop wifi.
