Musk is a malevolent force in American life, driven by white nationalism and incredibly influential given his obscene wealth. He's a supervillain.
But people get that. He's deeply unpopular, with an approval rating in the mid-30s with Trump. We just need political leaders willing to take him on.

We must speak plainly about the agenda Elon Musk & other MAGA leaders are pushing. It’s white nationalism.
There’s no room for Black, Hispanic/Latino, Asian, Native, Jewish or all other Americans in Musk’s monocultural vision.
Multiculturalism is superior. We can’t allow Musk & others to end it.

When the U.S. House passed the SAVE Act last year, historians told us it was Congress’ worst attack on voting rights ever. Well, this week the House approved an even worse one. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Thomas Albus, a federal prosecutor from Missouri, authorized the seizure of roughly 700 boxes of election material in Georgia — far outside of his usual jurisdiction.
Former U.S. attorneys say that type of authority is rare.

Apparently it’s disrespectful to those who died in the *real* concentration camps to call modern day ICE lockups "concentration camps" instead of "detention centers".
I think it’s disrespectful to vow “never again” and then sit back and argue semantics when it starts happening again.

How many definitions do we need to argue over? Each one of these is-this-really discussions is a big speed bump for our side's momentum. The aggressors count on us spending time in the weeds.
As an American Jew born at the luckiest time and place to be a Jew, perhaps ever, I feel a moral obligation to call a concentration camp a concentration camp.
