Hours late to this, but what an unerring response. And imagine how different things might look if every university, every media organization, every independent corporation, every congressional committee met the current authoritarian overreach with similar clarity about their own rights and power.
With his permission, I'm sharing Dean Treanor's response to Ed Martin's letter:

We have a peculiar historical event shaping up where the oligarch billionaire class is about to fleece this country while most of their supporters are working people who are convinced that they are on their side because they hate migrants & trans people.

1/ Here’s a story about how journalism works.
Spoiler Alert: This is how we decide *not* to publish.
We were recently looking at Pete Hegseth’s different statements over the years about West Point, where he has said he was admitted.
First stop: West Point.

The Fox News write-up of Kimberly Guilfoyle getting nominated to an ambassadorship does not mention her work for the network, possibly because her departure came after she was reported for sexual harassment with Fox paying a reported $4 million settlement.

I’ve said it before and I’m sure I’ll say it a thousand times more: We are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian. — Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.

Thread on one of the most dangerous men in the world.
Musk's sociopathy goes well beyond even Trump's malignant narcissism.
He's the Lex Luthor of megalomania.
We need to resist him in ways that go well beyond leaving Twitter.

Over 2+ years of working on a biography of Elon Musk, I've learned that his ambitions are significantly grander than anyone realizes. He wants to be the first trillionaire ever. He wants to be the most famous human who ever lived. He wants to rule the world. He wants to live forever.
All literally.
All literally.

I realize you are still you, and I am still me. We are going to be ok. That doesn't mean I am not pissed and disgusted at the unnecessary fights we are about to have just to save our country. We COULD have been spending this time and energy making this a better place. I will never forgive this.

A Veteran in a wheelchair was chatting me up, told me he just had his hip replaced. He started talking politics and I told him that I hoped that Trump wouldn't take away VA benefits.
He said "I am a REPUBLICAN and my hip replacement didn't cost a DIME!"
I said "You have Biden to thank for that."

Thank you sir, see yourself out.
trump's 2020 loss isn't an opinion, it's fact.
And when you don't push back VIGOROUSLY on bullshit, you're co-signing it, and low-information voters get that validation straight from YOU, members of the MEDIA.

Because I know—from the fact that he's come after me personally multiple times—Elon Musk reads my Twitter feed, I do go back there on occasion to Community Note him. Knowing he sees it and knowing also that I'm one of the relatively few people who Jeff Bezos follows makes the gesture worth it to me.
