Nice piece. Phones are damn useful, but use could be wound back a bit - especially by those people reading social media posts while walking along footpaths. I do notice a lot more young people reading print books at the local swimming pool (which I don't even do, I use a Kindle).

As Elon Musk and his associates have swept rapidly through government agencies, dismantling programs and seizing access to sensitive databases,
some federal employees are pushing back
— using whatever levers they have to resist the orders of the world’s richest man, both in public and behind closed doors.

On Feb. 7, as rumors spread through the ranks of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau that Musk’s team had entered their building, federal workers took out their #phones.

On high alert, they 💥filmed unidentified young men from the team known as the Department of Government Efficiency being escorted by security through the glass doors of their downtown Washington headquarters.
They 💥shouted greetings from afar and
💥tried to snap photos of their faces.
Once the men were inside, one agency worker 💥confronted them in a conference room,
💥demanding to see their credentials,
🔥One of the Musk aides used his laptop to block his ID badge from view.

Karen Ortiz, an administrative judge at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, said her ability to send emails was shut off after she sent an agencywide message calling on the commission’s acting chair to resign.
