Will we have a democracy defend? Are we really going to let Trump, Musk, Bannon, and Miller destroy our country, our standing in the world, the most vulnerable populations both here and abroad? Are we really ok with this? We need to stand up. I demand that my voice be heard.

We have got to get Citizens United out of our elections. Big money should not be involved in our democratic elections.

We, the United States, are being seen by most of the world as well on our way to becoming an oligarchy or an authoritarian government. Is this really what most American citizens want? Is this really who we are?

Our democracy is crumbling. There is devastation being inflicted upon our federal agencies that will take a very long time to recover their basic structure. In some cases, the scaffolding is being dismantled.

I am concerned that the Republican representatives and their families are being threatened by the Trump Administration, the pardoned January 6th convicted rioters, and their supporters. Their ability to defend the Constitution of the United States is compromised by these threats.

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

Pay attention to this. Replacing JAGs with loyalists enables whatever orders Trump and Hegseth issue to be interpreted as lawful.
