Republicans ran into the room to SHEILD Elon Musk from having to come and speak to Congress. They want their billionaire takeover done behind closed doors. The people deserve transparency. No one elected Elon Musk.

Would be neat for Democrats to cut a Super Bowl ad of Musk and his teen goons harvesting SSNs, meddling with Social Security checks, and randomly hitting delete on chunks of code that fund critical services.

New from me in @newrepublic.com: “Primary Every Democrat.” If the current crop cannot demonstrate they care more about democracy than enjoying three-day weekends, we should flood the zone and challenge them all.

Primary Every Democrat newrepublic.com/article/1909... via @newrepublic.com - It’s exhausting to watch poll-tested, donor-beholden congressional Democrats continue to be too old, too cloistered, and too bumbling to do anything as the government burns.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

If only we could get them to care this much about oligarchy & authoritarianism taking hold in 🇺🇸 😕

It’s a good time to abandon news outlets that can’t boldly report on the fascist takeover, and read/share/support those that can. This week we’ve seen coverage that rises to the moment from Pro Publica, TruthOut, The Lever, Democracy Now, The Ink, Wired, Nerd Reich, Bolts, Current Affairs. Who else?

To say that the violence Trump seeks to inflict is *performative* is not to say that it is not real, or that it does not have catastrophic consequences. Rather, it is to point out that his chief goal is to terrorize, to demoralize. Therefore, refusing to be cowed materially thwarts his strategy.

Beautiful moment.

"[A] democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is Fascism—ownership of Government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power." - FDR (1938)

This sounds like a bad movie it's so hard to believe but does seem to actually, possibly be happening that that core US government private information on US citizens and businesses and confidential govt operations is being carted off by unvetted malevolent possibly foreign actors
