Marching down Broadway to City Hall to demand Hochul remove Eric Adams đź’Ş

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

Who is the first guy? And did Musk do it again?

Donald Trump is making sure his friends, from Jeff Bezos to Elon Musk, are getting massive tax cuts. Instead of lowering prices for working families, his taxes will make life harder than ever. Here in Illinois, we're finding a way forward together to fight the challenges.

Who could have guessed that the former leader of the Proud Boys—convicted of sedition because of January 6th—would, after Trump pardoned him, start to harass the hero cops of January 6th? Who could ever have guessed it? (This went down at the Principles First conference in D.C.)

It is insanely obvious that Elon Musk is illegally exercising the powers of a principal officer of the United States in violation of the appointments clause

This was the moment, just over a month ago, when the ADL could've put an end to Republicans doing Nazi salutes. They didn't. They chose instead to provide cover by calling it "an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm." Now the sieg heil salute has been normalized. The ADL literally had ONE JOB.

Yeah I keep thinking that the story of a powerful person who carelessly wrecks large numbers of ordinary people’s lives usually ends poorly

Doing this while your child's mother is frantically trying to get in touch with you

Donald Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987 and given the codename "Krasnov", claims a former Soviet intelligence officer. uk.news.yahoo.com/donald-trump...?

"No kings, ___" is a good template if we need a catchy slogan format No kings, save Medicare No kings, protect trans kids No kings, fund science research No kings, hell yes functioning democracy Etc

Elon is hiring criminals to work for DOGE because it is a criminal conspiracy

"Unfortunately, rather than be shocked by each time Trump or one of his closest allies utter something openly authoritarian, we need to take a step back and realize that the Republican Party has become an authoritarian political party."

"The vocal crowd rose to its feet repeatedly during a one-hour town hall ... [Warren] said, her voice growing hoarse. “We do not want an America that says a handful of rich folks are better than everyone else. We want an America that works for all of us, and we are willing to fight for it.”

If members of Congress—like Rep. Grothman —are this clueless about what the man who is dismantling our government is saying and promising, they don’t deserve to keep their jobs! This woman is in his face, begging him to wake TF up—and he just walks off. Pathetic.

“I’m a political refugee from Russia. This is all too familiar. Fight now.” #TeslaTakedown

Elon Musk’s AI said he and Trump deserve the death penalty

Art speaks when words fail.

And I really didn't foresee Sen. Murphy doing so, but he surprised me for the better.

Over 1,000 people showed up in Framingham to make clear that we’re fired up and ready to fight back against every terrible policy Donald Trump and Elon Musk throw at us. 📸 John Walker

This is nuts. But it’s effective fascist propaganda.

more Janet Mills less Susan Collins

I agree with Grok.

This is an article that prefigures very accurately what we will be reading about American (and American based) scientists in about ten months. The collapse of the top scientific research network in the world. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

“His megalomania has mushroomed."

Trump's attacks on the USPS aren't new. For decades, the GOP has been trying to privatize the Post Office and other crucial public services — all to pad the profits of their wealthy corporate donors.

DOGE staffer Edward “Big Balls” Coristine is the grandson of Valery Martynov - a “former” KGB spy. That’s right, one of Elon Musk’s young cyber criminals — related to a former KGB spy, and who seemingly did not have to undergo a background check — now has unprecedented access to…

Not content with purchasing the presidency, Elon Musk now wants to buy the Wisconsin Supreme Court as well. His PAC just pumped $1M into supporting anti-choice right-wing extremist Brad Schimel. Wisconsin — don't become Musk's latest acquisition! Vote @crawfordforwi.bsky.social.

Elon Musk can spot an opportunity and he’s spotted one in Brad Schimel. Musk’s company sued the state, and now he’s trying to buy a seat on the court with Schimel. Watch Judge Crawford on @msnbc.com:

If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

“Where does it end? In America, the President is neither a King nor a dictator, as much as this one tries to act like it—and it is the rule of law that prevents him from being so.” —the defiant Maine Gov. Janet Mills www.americaamerica.news/p/what-does-...

Ilhan Omar introduced an amendment to make corporations pay their fair share. Instead, the GOP voted it down and have moved along the budget bill that would strip $880 BILLION from Medicaid. Fun fact - that's the ENTIRE budget. #HandsOffMyMedicaid

Donald Trump replacing a black four-star general with a white three-star general as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is everything MAGA claims they hate about DEI: giving a less qualified person the job based on their race, not their resume.

C-PAC is a cult gathering, not a convention! This “Third Term Project” poster at CPAC is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. The same people who were screaming about “the deep state” are now openly fantasizing about a dictator-for-life.

From a source whose agency got the Musk/Trump email: Numerous federal employees often don’t check their emails unless told to. They also don’t typically have govt issued computers so many can only access email at the agency or department facility…

The Trump regime's segregationist agenda is clear. I argue that having a Black man as president of white America enraged a portion of this country so much, that they decided to destroy any pipeline to Black advancement in academia, government, & workplaces. karenattiah.substack.com/p/trumps-seg...

This is how I would respond to the email Musk has had sent to government employees (not legal advice). 1. Refused to violate the law. 2. Refused to violate the Constitution. 3. Refused to bow or scrape. 4. Refused to bend a knee. 5. Deleted this stupid email.

Fellow New Yorkers, this might be the closest we get to a TOWN HALL with @schumer.senate.gov Please attend this zoom on Wednesday, February 26 at 8PM. RSVP: stv.fm/7aiu8v We're mad as hell and ready to fight back. Join the call on Wednesday night. Resistance is contagious! #StopTheCoup #Resist

The reply email inbox for this “what did you do last week” email is [email protected], so, you know, definitely don’t send them any unrelated messages that would interfere with their ability to carry out Elon’s dumbass bullshit

Can I say I love this action . It’s so clear and communicated and hits at its targets so well. We know the fools who drive these are desperate for admiration Find a way to give it so that it’s not even negative supply and tank his stock Good job everyone

I am inundated with messages from federal workers who are feeling frantic, furious and fed up after receiving Musk’s email and reading his threatening X post. The psychological warfare is the point.
