What can you do? Don’t give up hope. Dictators feed off your hopelessness. Don’t quit. Dictators want you to give up. Punch back. Dictators are bullies, and bullies are cowards. Stay tethered to the truth. Dictators need you to believe their lies. Resist. Stand with others.

These DOGE people need to be stopped. They are performing illegal activities and interfering and infiltrating without permits, legitimate government agencies and confidential data.

what Musk is doing is as close to the government being taken over by a hostile foreign power in our lifetimes, the coverage should reflect that

The funny thing about Musk and Ramaswamy supporting H-1B visas is that it directly conflicts with their "anti-woke" view on DEI. H-1B is a direct correlation with "diversity" and "inclusion", which corporations use in their hiring standards. Their stance is hypocritical, self-serving, and racist.

I'm fairly certain Elon Musks primarily (if not only) goal in buying the United States, is to use our tax money to become the first trillionaire. Which helps no one, anywhere, with anything. Great job

ONLY AN ABSOLUTE HORROR OF A HUMAN BEING WOULD DO THIS… Republicans slashed $200 million for childhood cancer research—a program created with bipartisan support under Obama—from the CR bill. Why? Because Elon Musk told them to.

ABC (Disney), Washington Post (Bezos), Meta (Zuckerberg), LA Times (Soon-Shiong)... all bending the knee to Trump, all obeying in advance, all sucking up to the Dictator-in-Waiting. This is (part of) how democracies die. This is the Orban, Putin, Netanyahu and Modi playbooks.

Remember when 45 said this? “I have nothing to do with Project 2025.” Just another lie. He’s keeping his pledge to elevate the scum of America to positions they don't deserve. Lets keep our own pledge to fight back against his tyranny. #StopProject2025

Fun fact — when asked whether he would lower the price of groceries while in office, Trump’s answer was: “I don't think so. Look, they got them up. I'd like to bring them down. It's hard to bring things down once they're up. You know, it's very hard.” Congratulations to the “price of eggs” idiots.

This is Trump setting up his Autocratic Party with his own little set of Oligarchs. They will steal our country blind and corrupt our government, setting it up to be a white nationalist theocracy. And all of the MAGA KKKult who voted them in, let them eat cake! www.axios.com/2024/12/06/t...

Bravo for @harrylitman.bsky.social’s selfless decision to resign the LA Times in protest. “The existential stakes for our democracy that Trump’s second term poses” make Soon-Shiong’s “currying favor with the President-elect . . . repugnant and dangerous.” harrylitman.substack.com/p/why-i-just...
