Free Speech Is Under Attack – Defend It

I didn't watch the felon in chief talk last night. Just read a CNN article fact checking him. He lies out his teeth. He does not care about you or the constitution or the country. He is a traitor. Why can't people see that?

As a retired family nurse practitioner, I can say that healthcare in this country is going to hell. It is already a monstrosity that doesn't serve everyone. With RFK as head of HHS, healthcare will become more fragmented and futile.
RFK Jr. has been confirmed as Trump’s Secretary of Health and Human Services by a vote of 52-48. The only GOP senator to vote “No” was Mitch McConnell.

No warrants. Just taking people out of their homes and sending them to who knows where. They are not going after the worst criminals. They are going after anyone they can. This is intolerable.
I know I’ve seen this somewhere before, but cant quite put my finger on it 🤔

Elon Musk did not pay Donald Trump hundreds of millions of dollars, for a position in his govt, because he cares about you.
He did it because he wants to make all of these go away 👇🏼

Musk has no business in reducing government spending. He is heavily connected to contracts from the government. Anyone ever hear of "conflict of interest"?
Around 35% of SpaceX’s revenue comes directly from the federal govt.
Less than 1% of NPR’s budget comes from the federal govt.

Who hasn't read the constitution? Maybe it's time to take a refresher course on civics and the constitution.
Read the Constitution for yourself. Article II sets forth the powers granted to the President. This is the law: www.law.cornell.edu/constitution...

Today I went to the Colorado capital to lobby on behalf of Colorado Ceasefire. Colorado Ceasefire is advancing several gun bills aimed at protecting people from gun violence. Some people will have a knee jerk reaction and say that we are trying to take people's rights away.
NO WE ARE NOT.

I guess I gotta call my representative and senators and tell them to get mad. Really mad and then fight against Trump and Musk.
It’s a War. Do Democrats Get That?
Trump and Musk have have initiated an all-out battle against the US government, the rule of law, and decency. Where’s the opposition?

A coup. That's what Trump is doing AGAIN. This time he is using the very government he sought to overthrow to become his fiefdom. COUP.
During an era of failing traditional media, TechDirt is absolutely killing it covering, explaining, contextualizing what is happening. Not a surprise if you’ve read them for a while.
If you want a long, but very thorough, read on just how crazy dangerous the situation is with Elon, @brockm.bsky.social has laid it all out in a single article. Please read it.

There is a protest tomorrow. Actually, there will be protests in every state according to the Fifty State Capital Protest group.
In Denver, it will be at the state capital building.
My wife and I are going. Is anyone else going to a protest?

These "men" are helping Musk. We need to know as much as we can about the people Musk and Trump employ. They are going to run the government in ways we have never seen before.
Call this what it is. It’s cyber warfare.
These clowns helped Elon Musk take control of the United States by taking control of the Treasury.
This is not about Congress. These “clowns” and Musk must be arrested.
A data breach that gathered personal data on all Americans is cyber warfare.

DOGE and Musk. This article exposes six very young men who are working with Musk to tear down the government. They are young inexperienced guys who have not the least bit of government experience. But they will write algorithms that could dramatically change government funding. Scary shit.
