This is how I would respond to the email Musk has had sent to government employees (not legal advice). 1. Refused to violate the law. 2. Refused to violate the Constitution. 3. Refused to bow or scrape. 4. Refused to bend a knee. 5. Deleted this stupid email.

I am starting to become increasingly confident (a confidence buffered by very good reporting from people like @zoeschiffer.bsky.social) that the entire reason Elon is there is precisely because he destroyed Twitter and was rewarded for it. His ransacking is the feature not a bug.

“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.

Less than three years before Elon Musk tapped him to take part in a sweeping overhaul of the US government, Edward Coristine, then 17, was the subject of a heated dispute between two executives at the Arizona-based cybersecurity firm where he was an intern: bit.ly/3DcfRrN

Supporting local artists and small businesses are acts of resistance. Supporting Trans and BIPOC professionals is an act of resistance. Showing up with love and grace in rooms full of people who are resisting tyranny is an act of resistance. Spreading messages of love + hope is mandatory.

DOGE's funding is up to $40MM, @ProPublica.org finds And this: "If DOGE is a federal agency, it can’t shield its records from the public. If it’s not an agency, then DOGE’s tens of millions in funding weren’t legally allocated and should be returned, some contend" www.propublica.org/article/doge...

In addition to Congress being the place that makes the laws, pretty key thing, the constitution explicitly says Congress gets to create the postal system. It’s not left implied that that comes under law making generally. The President has no power to unilaterally abolish it and move it to commerce.

You can all stop telling me that the UK's fascism movement and far right is somehow more moderate than ours. It's not. And they're just as bent on destroying democracy. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Those of you outside of the Midwest should not snooze on this person. Spend some time reading about the work he did for abortion access in the last cycle. I think he’s still the only executive to legalize cannabis in the US vis his legislature. Dude’s a baller.

Because his followers have already committed violence against them once. They erected a gallows for an utter loyalist who rubber stamped everything Trump did. They were cowards then, they’re cowards now. All of them. We’re the heroes we seek. The other side isn’t coming for us. They never have.

I don’t give a shit that Trump called himself a king in a social post. This is nation ending stuff.
