Every American should be deeply troubled by this massive escalation, and @democrats-judiciary.house.gov are standing strong for judicial independence. This is an unmistakable descent further into authoritarian chaos.

We are not in a fight between right and left anymore. This is a fight between Americans and those who would bend the knee to a king. If you care about the soul of this country, we have to stand for each other.

Nervous Musk, Trump, Vance have all been outclassed in public arguments these last few days. Government failure, stock market crash, and dictatorial alliances are not popular. People are starting to realize that there is no truth here beyond the desire for personal wealth and power. (2/2)

Let's say their names:

* General CQ Brown, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff: FIRED FOR BEING BLACK

* Admiral Lisa Franchetti, Chief of Naval Operations: FIRED FOR BEING FEMALE

* Admiral Linda Fagan, Coast Guard Commandant: FIRED FOR BEING FEMALE

All replaced by less qualified white guys.
its genuinely insane that they're firing CJCS for being black and CNO for being a woman. that is what's happening here

The key point that was made in this clip is that it happened organically.

No one in Republican world seems to have a lot of curiosity about why Musk needs people’s personal data to engage in government cost cutting
“[SSA] has our bank information, our earnings records, the names and ages of our children, and much more.”

“Warning about the risks of Mr. Musk's team accessing the data, Ms. Altman added, ‘There is no way to overstate how serious a breach this is.’” (🎁 link)

We need the best communicators among the Democrats to speak to the public on a regular basis, much like governors did during COVID. This is becoming more urgent as the lawlessness and lies accelerate and it gets harder for people to know what’s true. This should include Pete Buttigieg. Who else?

Owning physical media isn’t nostalgia—it’s preservation. Used is fine. Streaming services drop content, digital licenses vanish, and censorship happens. If something matters to you, make sure you own it. A shelf of books doesn’t need an internet connection.
