How come this isn’t being broadcast by the media. Shouldn’t it be front page news.

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.

Scaring people into quitting didn’t work, so now it’s a new game. X isn’t for gov’t business, and not replying to an email isn’t a legal resignation. We could’ve had housing help, tax breaks for workers, and better healthcare. Instead, we’re stuck with this.

Can confirm what a couple others have said I think, that the dumb five-bullet-points email went out to federal judiciary staff.

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

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.

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.

Unqualified White people are stepping into jobs recently vacated by QUALIFIED-but-FIRED People of Color & Women. Shame on them. They did not earn their jobs. We did. DEI just grants us participation in selection. We strive for success, when we’re allowed to participate. “They took our jobs.”🤷🏼‍♀️

Love it! Hundreds of people from our local Indivisible group took to the streets and protested Trump, Musk and DOGE at a Tesla dealership in Mt Kisco, NY. Rebellion is happening all over - do your homework to find what is happening locally and DO SOMETHING!!!

on top of this being unenforceable bullshit, many federal employees cannot even access their email on the weekend without a work VPN. others can, but (unlike in musk’s world) it’s actually frowned upon to access off duty.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

One thing lost in a lot of the Alberta health care coverage this week is that the same people who own the chartered surgical facilities ALSO work in the public hospitals AND have positions with the University. Do we see why that may be a problem now?
