Robert Reich (Substack) discusses Musk's third-party motives, citing Musk contacting an advocate for democracies being replaced with sovereign joint-stock corporations whose major “shareholders” (wealthy oligarchs) select an executive with total power controlled by them, ending democracy.

What could possibly go wrong here?
“ICE will have twice as many agents as the FBI and will have its own huge and growing prison system (which it operates independently) as its masked and un-uniformed officers continue to snatch people off of the streets and mete out violence as they see fit.”

The heinous “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” castrates federal courts and the Constitutional separation of powers. It bars courts from enforcing contempt, as intended by Trump's administration. Call to preserve federal court enforcement power. (202) 224-3121.

A really powerful WWII era "don't be a sucker" piece, that explains how authoritarians have to separate and destroy groups of people so they can take power. I don't usually watch anything this long (22 min) but couldn't stop watching once I started this.
Please watch and rewatch this movie, in the U.S. Archives from the @usarmy.bsky.social #DontBeASucker a reminder of how the Nazis conned their country into becoming the cause of mass murder and all the other horrors that Nazis unleash.

If Sen. Gary Peters no longer has the stomach for any of this and cannot represent the people, he should step down and let the Governor appoint a replacement now. Weak tea and has left us in a much more alarming place.
