Whitehouse: "Remember Trump-Russia? The Mueller report said there was Trump-Russia. The bipartisan Senate intelligence report said there was Trump-Russia. Repeated trials brought in evidence showing Trump-Russia. There was, is, and forever shall be Trump-Russia."

CNN confirmed on-air just now that top Trump aides are furiously calling journalists to insist that Elon Musk has been following the orders of Trump rather than the other way around. As predicted, Trump is horrified and enraged at the idea that Musk is now seen as the President of the United States.

Don't twist their rubber arm.

They say we shouldn't obey in advance. Okay. Is it alright if we disobey in advance?

It's like how we support freedom of speech, even for opinions we disagree with. It's wrong to murder, even if the victim deserves it, because who's to judge? Next time it might be you. It's called rule of law and that's supposed to be what we all stand for.

For people who saw the clip of me advocating for a new opposition movement and are asking for more info, here is the piece I wrote laying it out. I hope you read, share and act. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/buil...

Thinking today about Jessica Sunderland, who won her civil rights case against a jail for denying her hormones, forcing her to detransition while incarcerated a decade ago. I met her and wrote about her case for @theappeal.org in December 2018:

We need to fight autocracy, not flirt with it.

This is why I can never serve in government. My mom passed away in 2005 while I was in Iraq. She couldn't help me prove I'm a good boy. Sad.

I would like to send this tweet 20 years back in time just to see the reactions.

Holy Shit. Morning Joe producers warned @davidfrum.bsky.social to not criticize Fox News & then Mika made an on air apology for his true comments? I salute his integrity & honor. But MSNBC complying out of terror of Mad King Donald & cowering in fear of Fox News comes from the top. IYKYK.

The massive global political disruptions we are seeing aren't because of Covid, inflation, wokeness or neoliberalism. They are the direct result of unchecked destructive social media algorithms that have killed trust in institutions and experts, and promoted loud ignorance and outrage everywhere.

It is very typical to now have Dems and their staffers wringing their hands about what happened to Twitter and to other media, when you could see this coming for years and for miles and CONGRESS DID NOTHING. AT ALL. It's almost like they don't understand the connection between media and democracy.

It seems both Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk are absolutely furious about Bluesky's growth, even if their platforms still have way more users (for now). If they are furious, something good must be happening here.

It's wild that we let two Australian and South African white supremacist immigrants overturn American democracy by buying up big sections of our media.
