I'm having a hard time finding anything to disagree with in this succinct, insightful, research-based piece with practical advice.
I wrote about how Trump is destroying American democracy, along with eight crucial lessons about how to counteract it, drawing on my 14 years of studying brave pro-democracy opposition movements in authoritarian regimes across the globe. We’re in serious trouble, but there’s still hope.
Is American democracy doomed?
How to understand the concept of "competitive authoritarianism" and why it's crucial to push back now to avoid it.

The Democratic party is laying low because they believe backlash to Trump is inevitable and they're going to win midterms and 2028 no problem. I promise you this is what they believe. And they are so wrong.

The Democratic party needs to immediately appoint and support Shadow Cabinet Secretaries able to give press conferences and issue statements every single day.

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.
They make sure we have clean water.
They protect us from financial fraud.
They provide healthcare to our communities.
They make our government actually work for people.

Under oath, Kash Patel said he was unaware of plans to dismiss FBI agents before he was confirmed.
Today, whistleblowers revealed Patel was reportedly directing those dismissals. Covertly.
Yet another reason he must be rejected.

At this point I genuinely don't think it's hyperbole to say that Elon Musk is functionally in charge of the US government. Perhaps not in specific policy areas - two bills or one on the hill, policy in the mideast. But certainly functional control of the state apparatus.
This new EO signed today appears to create DOGE as a shadow government across the entire federal government. Each agency/dept will be assigned a DOGE minder who will work with the Secry or Director and essentially be in charge of all new hiring and/or firing. People have been saying the Elon is ...

Trump & Musk are making massive cuts to the National Institutes of Health.
I know there is a lot going on right now, but this is one of worst things they have done so far, will affect cancer research and trials, the search for cures, innovation and competitiveness, our universities. Your lives.

So what do we do?
We have to slow things down while we educate the public and rouse public attention.
- Senate and House Dems go to maximum obstruction. Deny all unanimous consent.
- Sen and House Dems lead protests at illegally altered agencies.
- We work like crazy to raise public awareness.

As companies shell out big bucks for Super Bowl commercials, remember that many said they were forced to raise prices due to inflation.
Also remember that average profit margins in nearly every sector in the S&P 500 are running near or above 10-year highs.

Can Americans sue Elon Musk for accessing personal data housed in the Treasury Department? Rep. @raskin.house.gov says it’s possible. Here’s how his theory of a “nationwide class action lawsuit” could work.
