I'm in the @nytimes.com @nytopinion.nytimes.com this morning asking: Who exactly is running the federal government?
If we can’t answer that simple question, government officials and civil society must recognize warning signs of state capture and take back what's ours. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/05/opinion/elon-musk-donald-trump-government.html

Listen & read this article. We are about to, if not already, have losing control of our government to a Fascist.
-Musk can break all federal laws while gutting every agency and our democracy.
-Trump can allow all legal actions against him to waste hundreds of millions.
-Then, at the 11th hour, Trump can pardon Musk &Co.
-Musk can then rinse/repeat
We must take drastic actions!!!
The NYT helped put Trump back into office.

Would be nice to read this one.
But the Democratic Party and the courts are doing what they can to mitigate the damage.
Wanted Bernie-voted HRC.
Wanted Bernie or Warren-voted Biden.
Voted Kamala.
Yea, I don't exactly like conservative "dems", but ffs I'm not an irresponsible child, so I have voted dem in every election since Billy Bob Clinton. Ideological purity/stubbornness isn't 4 the real world.
But I'm not going to blame and divide. That's how tyrants win. It's going to take a broad coalition from socialist dems to libertarians to deep conservatives to get us out of this mess.
We the People have the power to stop this. Showing up at local & federal gov. buildings & protesting/occupying for weeks would help a lot. So would #GeneralStrikes
Not all can do this (I don't have the means), but if millions did...seachange in short order. #Resist
I am simply mimicking what Donald Trump said about judges Hillary Clinton might pick.
Not an accident, not a coincidence.

Bc they knew, or were programmed to normalize that this would be the arrangement.
That’s bringing guns to a gunfight
Musk has no business in any country’s government.
Stop fueling his power by buying his shit.
PROTEST MUSK WORLDWIDE! BOYCOTT MUSK ENTERPRISES!
Once the courts are stuffed with pro-regime actors, or those who fear to defy the lawless, there is no hope of legal barriers to tyranny.
Ofc, court ruling against lawlessness also need enforcement.
I hope it opens some eyes
