Musk took over the US government with graft and is using it—in combination with his space launch firm—to exploit an allied country that’s suffering under Russian invasion for its mineral rights. The scheme is so imperiously evil I feel like audiences wouldn’t find it believable in a Bond villain.

#ProudBlue I must ask America, if you aren’t willing to fight, are you and your family willing to die? You just voted in a party that, Doesn’t believe in Climate Change, vaccines, societal safety nets, equality and rights for average Americans. If you don’t fight, you die. Simply put.

It is clear that Musk’s motivations are all about his own self-interest. Trump is allowing Musk to operate with zero accountability.

It is simply not enough for universities to say, “Our grants & research offices are looking into how research will be affected by the latest directive.” University leaders must actively and very publicly make the case for the kind of work many of us do. The silence on this front is deafening.

Do Congressional Democrats realize the president's action to freeze federal grants & loans is UNCONSTITUTIONAL? That it means we no longer have separation of powers? That the Constitution in toto is no longer in force? We elected Democrats to RESIST dictatorship, not to be complicit in it.

Actions taken by the person occupying the position of president are either in violation of federal law or they're not. Federal law is canonized and able to be definitively understood. Is no one clear on this?

Hitler became German Chancellor on 1/30/33. This is the first prisoners arriving at Dachau, which opened on 3/10/33. I visited Munich and Dachau just after 45 was inaugurated to get a better understanding of the rise of Nazism. Horrors normalize rapidly without resistance.

Dear Philly DA Larry Krasner: Donald Trump just admitted Elon Musk used insider knowledge of vote-counting machines to engineer his victory in PA. Open an investigation immediately. And yes, you CAN prosecute a sitting president. Because you don't work for DOJ. xoxo America
