Here it is in a nutshell: 1. Trump is an authoritarian. 2. With the GOP controlling Congress, courts are key to protecting democracy. 3. So far, courts are doing a good job on #2. 4. GOP will next attack election rules like they did in 2021. Don't let the cynics convince you not to fight. FIGHT!

NCGOP and Jefferson Griffin will appeal this to a Republican controlled court of appeals. That is same court of appeals that he currently sits on. That is the same court of appeals where TWO other sitting judges DONATED to his efforts to do this.

Jesus’ central ministry is the lessening of the gaps between the powerful and the powerless, a radical inclusion of those so often left out, an audacious expanding of the table of compassion to the widest, most-diverse swath of humanity. The Gospel is DEI. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/hey-white-...

Murphy: "The reality is this could get dystopian very quickly. If you were to start speaking ill of Elon Musk on social media, Musk might be able to stop or delay your tax refund, or your mom's Social Security benefit, in part because we have no window into what's happening at Treasury right now."

THIS IS A NATIONAL EMERGENCY. This week, Elon Musk and a literal handful of 18 to 24-year olds have illegally taken over the US Treasury Department computers and now have access to all our nation's (both individual and collective) financial data.

No one's blaming Democrats for causing this crisis, but yes, many of them are failing to meet this moment. One Democratic senator could bring the chamber to a halt. House Dems can go to fed agencies being gutted by Musk with cameras in tow. Governors can push back. State AGs can bring lawsuits.

How Elon Musk can gain access to the payment systems of the American government confounds me. Are there no laws or restrictions that would deny a private citizen from doing this? I’d love to hear from government employees or experts on this.

Trump is doing everything Putin wants him to do: abandoning our nation’s core values, attacking longtime allies, and picking Tulsi Gabbard for a critical national intelligence role. Putin has us right where he wants us, with his puppet as our President. America first? youtu.be/iPXXFfXk5aM?...

ATTN: This is most important court hearing to watch next week. The GOP does not want this case in federal court because they know a federal judge is not likely to toss out 60,000 lawful votes. Their plan is to have the partisan NC state Supreme Court decide. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

What people need to understand is he is the minion. He’s simply signing everything put in front of him by calculating other people. What’s put in front of him is other people’s agenda. Start calling out the handlers, too.

I have committed no crime. However, I am realistic that Trump will seek retribution against some. Trump is going to weaponize the DOJ against his political enemies. My hope is that, if and when he does, the good people will not stay silent. They will not back down. They will not obey.

There is a reason TikTok is so good at figuring out what you want to see, and why it’s better than everything else: it’s a weapon, and the best weapon is one you don’t know exists, or worse, one you think you can’t live without

To those blaming Elon Musk for his rocket exploding, be fair: Elon only pretends to be an engineer at his companies. In reality, he used daddy's money to buy other people's ideas. And sometimes he buys bad ideas. And sometimes he buys good ideas, like Twitter, & ruins them with his bad ideas.
