GOV. MILLS: “.. Maine may be one of the first states to undergo an investigation by his Administration, but we won’t be the last. .. “.. But you must ask yourself: who and what will he target next, and what will he do? Will it be you?” www.pressherald.com/2025/02/21/r...

Keep an eye out for openings on your local planning and zoning boards as well. Many of them are appointed and have trouble finding enough volunteers to fill the seats! 🇺🇸

The Trump/Vance record: much bloviation, stock market down, consumer confidence down, inflation up, egg & gas prices up, unemployment up, health care delivery in deepening crisis, allies abandoned, infrastructure investments halted or at risk, and the most vulnerable Americans under attack.

Stocks slump with the S&P 500 wiping out almost all of its gains since Trump took office last month, after a widely watched measure of how consumers feel about the economy showed mounting fears over stubborn inflation. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/b...

Nothing Trump and Musk are doing is about making government efficient. It’s about destroying government from within and it’s about creating a fiscal fig leaf for giving big tax cuts to the super rich.

Trump’s culture war attack on New York’s congestion pricing initiative sounds a lot like Posh Kraft’s attack on safe street infrastructure in Boston.

I’m convinced that the Manchurian candidate won the election. The most morally corrupt & deliberately lawless presidency since Washington took office in 1789.

Among those Trump and Musk fired at the FAA: - Lawyers who help keep drunk or reckless pilots out of the skies - Air traffic control support staff - Employees who track potential new flying hazards like cranes - Staffers who medically clear pilots to fly www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

The federal government is threatening to prosecute people who criticize Elon Musk. This isn't any different than the stuff JD Vance was criticizing about Germany.

“This week, Donald Trump falsely accused Ukraine of starting a war against a much larger neighbor,” @radiofreetom.bsky.social writes. “The U.S. president has now chosen to throw America to Putin’s side … Repeating lies, however, does not make them true.”

Bernie's framing of Trump's support for Putin and how that connects with Trump's support for oligarchs and opposition to democracy at home is very clear and very effective. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKBM...

Chris Patten, former chairman of the British Conservative Party, said “We have Trump & his oligarchy of ignorant shoe shiners vandalizing the network of organizations, agreements & values largely put in place by America since the 2d World War. .. Where are the American values that I used to admire?”

NYC’s congestion pricing is working: less car traffic, more foot traffic & big new investment in public transit. Which, of course, means Trump wants to kill it. Because he & Elon hate transit. They want more people to drive. All consistent with Project 2025’s plan to kill transit off entirely.

Here is the ad the Washington Post refused to run about Elon Musk this weekend. And here is the ad the Post was happy to run by a rightwing group funded by Musk that smeared me in October. I started Democracy Docket to be fiercely independent and prodemocracy. Check it out. www.democracydocket.com

I’ve heard some stories recently of people complying with fascists’ demands after they were threatened. As a violence researcher (and someone who has received a good deal of threats), everyone should know that complying will not save you. It only teaches the threatener that threats work.
