Memo to Democrats: If EVERY ONE of you would do what Janet Mills did yesterday EVERY TIME, Trump would unravel entirely. He relies on you being bullied. Refuse to be.

Couldn't be clearer that Democrats aren't a party in the way that Republicans are a party. The GOP has an ideological project. They build power to accomplish specific things. The project of the Democratic Party is getting Democrats reelected. 80-90+% of Congress is, so it doesn't take much effort.

Crockett: "If feels as if y'all have just decided that y'all are gonna castrate your constitutional duty & hand it over to someone who was unelected. It doesn't matter how many cheerleaders he had on the field campaigning for him. That doesn't mean he gets to go in and sit atop any of our agencies"

HOLY SHIT!! Rep. Kamlager-Dove: “It is total corruption for an unelected unqualified billionaire like Elon Musk to…take control of our government to have access… of the information we use when we are trying to get a motherfucking tax return.”

After “How do we stop Trump?” the second most common question I’ve received is “How do we stop Musk?” Here's what we as ordinary citizens can do—a clear, easy, and meaningful call to action each person can and should take. No paywall. Please read, act, & share. www.qasimrashid.com/p/how-do-we-...

Even as we are all wading through a massive fire hose of news….and figuring out what matters and what doesn’t…the takeover of the treasury dept payment system by Musk posse is one we should pay attention to.

If I were an elected official, I would be getting any mic I could to warn seniors that a nazi-saluting South African billionaire has seized control of the payment system for social security, which he wants to destroy @sethmagaziner.bsky.social @amo.house.gov @whitehouse.senate.gov @reed.senate.gov

Rhode Island metaphor?

Yes but I’m super worried about democracy and Musk taking over access of government computer systems. Can you act alarmed or even mildly concerned?

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive): 1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment* 2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything 3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can 4. Citizens march en mass

Happy Black History Month! America may be facing a SUPER villain, but we are the heroes of our own story. With resilience, grace, and unapologetic power, we rise. No villain can dim our light—our magic is unstoppable. My story is called Unleashing Black Girl Magic: The Superpower Within!

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉
