What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power.
This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations — from television networks to newspapers — are capitulating to these threats.

This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office.
2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor.
3) Donors make a huge profit.
4) Repeat.
For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

Chris Sununu has decided he will not run for U.S. Senate in 2026 -- a decision that comes just two days after the president said he would "fully" support a Sununu campaign.

For an ignorant buffoon like Elon Musk to insinuate the system is a Ponzi scheme is not only infuriating

DOGE recommended firing workers at:
-FDA, which oversees Neuralink
-FAA, which oversees SpaceX
-USAID, which probed Starlink
-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.
"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Trump's transition is happening over private emails. Federal officials are nervous.
Agencies are weighing in-person requirement for sensitive data.

I'm just glad that the righteous journalists who lacked the courage to call out Trump for his multifarious lies and crimes have found the courage to stand against Joe Biden for pardoning his son over selective prosecution. You found your spines in a bucket of shit, and I give you your due credit.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.
They run them bc people react to them the most.
If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.
It’s not easy and takes constant practice!
