“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Thank you, Janet Mills. This is how all our elected officials everywhere should be confronting Trump's authoritarian "we are the law" sentiment. Head on.

Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” He goes on to ask if we suffered childhood trauma and concludes by suggesting we are suffering from “generational trauma.” This is my response. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

📢 “He’s trying to steal Medicaid to enrich himself. He’s gutting NASA to line his pockets with SpaceX. He’s looting everything good in America for private profit.” - @aoc.bsky.social at today’s #SaveOurServices NYC rally. The fight isn’t over. Join us: go.savepublicservices.com

Who is the leader of the Democratic Party? Sincere question.

The Democratic Party establishment will burn down the party and switch to the GOP before they ever let these two women get near leadership. Sad but true.

Every Democrat should be telling this story.

The three worst US presidents of my lifetime have been Dick Cheney, Vladimir Putin and Elon Musk.

Let’s just cut through the bullshit: Donald Trump is a Russian asset. Putin has something on Trump, he always has. Who knows what it is, but whatever it is, the consequences for the world are clear: The current President of the United States is a Russian asset.

"I always expected the first few weeks of Trump’s second term to be bad. But I did not expect to watch Trump and Elon Musk take a flame-thrower to the American government while congressional Democrats engage in the political equivalent of ASMR videos." thehill.com/opinion/camp...

This is fascism.

Musk's censorship algorithm on Twitter reduced our audience by about 95% since he bought it. So we moved over to blue sky. Help us build another great following right here where the skies are clear and the water is fine ;-) Please do Follow Retweet & repeat

Hold the fuck on — the so-called “anti-woke” party has two daddies?

from today's post — link is here: bit.ly/4hykYlm go read the whole thing, thanks

We are in the midst of an administrative coup the like of which we have never seen - or even imagined - in our lifetimes. Every day brings new abuses, new scandals, which can’t just be undone or fixed. We are in a very dark place as a country and as a constitutional republic right now.

Anyone who says that money can’t buy happiness has never paid an adoption fee. Have a great Wednesday

Article 1 Section 8 CONGRESS shall have the power... To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water; To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations NOT THE PRESIDENT. NOT DOGE.

I think Musk is the kryptonite. No one likes him. I don’t think even Trump, or a good portion of Trumpers, like him. Focus all the negative messaging on him, channel the negative coverage on him. As an added bonus he is super insecure and fragile and he will lose his mind

Thank you @jasmineforus.bsky.social. THIS is the energy we need from the opposition party during an attack on democracy.

"We have a responsibility as a party to block absolutely everything when they are putting a match to the federal government." — @aoc.bsky.social on IG live just now

A king in the White House, utterly unrestrained & above the law. A party in control of Congress, utterly devoted to the king, and not the Constitution. An unelected oligarch, the king’s patron, firing federal employees & taking control of federal databases. Yes, it’s a constitutional crisis.

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

We need a group of lawyers who are willing to take every lawsuit from every fired federal employee to the max. Bury this admin in lawsuits

here's today's post: "incompetent imbecile sabotages California’s water supply" — millions of gallons gone, for a pointless photo-op. thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter to keep getting the good stuff —

At home, Trump has enabled Musk to stage a coup against the government with his army of unvetted stooges taking over the Treasury. Abroad, he's shut down aid & canceled malaria/ HIV programs & put 1000s of lives at risk. Meanwhile, top Democratic leaders are tweeting about egg and priza prices. 😠
