Last year, we showed how Musk posted incessantly abt immigration, to great effect—and potentially as a tactic. His false assertions abt migrants received more reposts than any other policy issue he discussed.

That's in part how he vaulted himself to political power alongside Trump. bloom.bg/3EO50Vo
Elon Musk Is Now X’s Biggest Promoter of Anti-Immigrant Conspiracies
Elon Musk’s online rhetoric is boosting Trump’s plans to deport migrants and laying the groundwork to dispute the US election results.

Your laugh is unfortunately so typical of moderates and some on the left these days, who are just as happy to turn on each other as to fully have hard discussions about which way forward. I don't want to measure dicks with you, I want to defeat Trump and Co.

(cont) we must spend our time with undecideds and discussing solutions with people who basically agree that Trump's actions are damaging our republic and people's lives. We should not waste time defending the principles of civil rights, empathy, & the rule of law.

(cont) ("he doesn't really mean what he says" and "I don't trust your information," which is cited extensively). This is because their bias is based on belief, not evidence. It's very much like a cult in that regard. They can't be reasoned with. Therefore, (cont.)

Details? Don't underest. how many daily sources I follow. Rn, Dems r paralyzed, even the few speaking up, & none are loud enough. Other sources r clear+loud, but action r hazy. Further, legislative & judicial powers exertions r not working. If this event is 2 work, they must turn educatn into action

Everyone is talking about what our rights are. And I certainly have no problem with Dems holding events at which they do so. But they should immediately and at the same time move on to how they and we can protect them. No one seems to have answers rn, and legal rights are useless without enforcement

I hate to be a wet blanket, but reiterating our legal and Constituional civil rights isn't going to save anyone right now. They're mowing right over them & people & agencies & programs & judges & courts without even a pause. If no one fights to enforce these rights, this is a complete waste of time.
