It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.
EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

This is what should be on every front page right now. What's happening in the US right now is an illegal power grab by a private citizen. IT'S A COUP.
It's a digital coup. It's Musk who's leading it. The consequences are terrifying. And it's coming for us next.

This is what should be on every front page in 150 point banner headlines. All I have is this Substack but I lay it beneath your feet and pray to a higher power that I'm wrong.

It should not be radical for the American Bar Association to say that it supports the rule of law. But right now, it is. Let's see some other orgs taking a similar stance.

Trump is making another 911 more likely.
His Gaza scheme is inflaming the Middle East. He’s gutting intelligence agencies, prioritizing loyalty over merit. FBI & CIA comms are in chaos.
Weak intel means they may not see the threats coming. And w/political retribution as the focus—we’re wide open.

They want big banks and bad actors to run rampant and take people for a ride.

Schumer has never understood that you don’t have power unless you use power.

The freezing of federal grants, the firing of all inspector generals, the immunization of political violence - does everybody not see what’s happening?
In a blitzkrieg, Trump is trying to collapse our democracy - and probably our economy - and seize control.

one of the reasons that such a strong show of support from congressional dems today was important is that fed workers are going to have to start telling musk and his ghouls to get fucked and get the fuck out of the building
The terms, the offer, this is Musk. We're at the point where people need to decide if we want to have a state anymore or simply be the territorial base of SpaceX/Tesla.
Hey it turns out we're getting rid of the CIA.

A lot of people want to blame Schumer, and I'm not here to defend. He could whip more votes. But Schumer largely reflects what his caucus wants. If you want stronger Dem leadership, one good thing you can do is get your own backbencher Dem on the right side of history.
UPDATE: 8 Dems voted today to confirm yet another Trump nominee during Musk's coup: Bennett (CO), Gallego (AZ), Hassan (NH), Heinrich (NM), Hickenlooper (CO), King (ME), Lujan (NM), Shaheen (NH). If you're a constituent, don't just call - write an op-ed, protest their office, make clear you care.
The Senate takes 3 votes this afternoon:
1) Go into executive session to consider Russell Vought to be OMB Director
2) Cloture vote for Pam Bondi for Attorney General
3) Confirmation of Christopher Wright for Energy Sec
These should be 3 easy NO votes for Dems. Watch yours and provide that input.
