Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

I am grateful that so many people found my open letter to Elon Musk moving and want to share it. Some well meaning people are just cutting and pasting it on their social media feeds. I would appreciate it if people would link to the version posted on @democracydocket.com instead. Thanks. Marc

I'm dead shocked the Dem officials aren't screaming this shit from the rooftops. This isn't Trump's money or Musk's money. This is YOUR HARD EARNED TAXPAYER MONEY. This should be a non partisan issue. You got 23 year old kids in control of money YOU'VE been earning since before they were born!
