We @protectdemocracy.org have been saying for years “in the modern era, authoritarianism doesn’t come with tanks in the streets. It’s harder to see coming than that.” Well, we were wrong. Trump’s tanks are here. We are frogs in the water, and it’s already boiling.

One thing I said in my AMA is that whichever of the two seeks to deescalate first is likely the one most afraid of what the other can do or what the other knows. Want to know when the back-and-forth ended *immediately* today? When Musk learned that Trump was looking into his immigration paperwork.

It's my birthday. I've set up a Facebook Fundraiser to help the Human Rights Campaign in support of their work to help the LGBTQIA+ community. Goal: €365, and I donated that. Now I ask you to donate $/€/£1. One fucking buck. That's it. Thank you. www.facebook.com/donate/12050...
