Most people imagine that democracy ends with a military coup. But they are wrong With @nprfreshair.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

I hope you’ll read this piece I wrote about the insanity of Elon Musk & Utah Sen. Mike Lee attacking federal judges, yet another attack on democracy joycevance.substack.com/p/when-they-...

You know what Republican officials eally hate? They hate being protested by their own constituents at airports and public places. If they refuse to schedule town halls, I suspect people will probably find them where they can. www.cnn.com/2021/01/08/p...

Billionaire Jeff Bezos, who owns the Post, says the newspaper's editorial section will publish columns only "in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets." By @davidfolkenflik.bsky.social

Warren: "Our best strategy is to make sure everybody knows exactly what the Republicans are trying to do, and that is they want to give literally trillions of dollars in tax cuts to millionaires and billionaires, and they want to pay for it on the backs of seniors who are living in nursing homes."

🎯And a central thing Trump does with his speech acts is #gaslight -- impose false reality on others, attacking their ability to respond rationally. My election post-mortem cited 6 key themes: www.salon.com/2024/11/09/s...

It’s done.

Don’t mistake ‘hate’, ‘contempt’, ‘bewilderment’, ‘distrust’, ‘dismay’, ‘derision’ for “respect”. Certainly, the World has finally accepted the new way of doing things, where might is right, but America will, in turn, be weaker as nations work closely to create their own Power bases. Respect? 🤦🏼‍♂️🤡

Kind of a shitty mental health day but I got a bunch of work done on my taxes and cleaned up the apartment so I'm calling it a win and watching some 1966 Batman.

I'll tell you what I didn't get done last week. I didn't fire every federal employee and/or agency investigating my companies for unethical and illegal conduct. You?

This is indeed brilliant

Hey, a PSA, if you get an email with the subject “Fwd: New Document Assigned ‘Marketing Proposal'” from someone you know, it's a phishing scam with a link that somehow gives the phishers access to your contacts.

it is genuinely incredible that all you have to do is scratch the surface and it becomes clear that each of these guys is a huge piece of shit

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone Call it a Day Of Transparency

"Imperfect action beats inaction every time." Harry Truman "Choose one place for your focus this week, one issue. . *where you can do something*. Then figure out how, and find people. It can be big or small (write a letter, make a call, organize a protest, offer shelter)" -Katherine bellew

“All you have to do is let him show people who he is, and then underline it, bold it, and put it on loop. Helping Tesla, the company, reap the economic consequences of Elon Musk, the political actor, is the first step toward dismantling our new oligarchy.” open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

There’s a chart with less than 25 words :-)

We’ve become used to right wingers throwing tantrums every time black people are on tv in something everyone is watching (the olympics, superbowl, ect) but it’s actually fucking weird and we shouldn’t act like that’s a normal reaction

Everyone have a good weekend? Okay, let's get back in it. Choose one place for your focus this week, one issue on the laundry list of horrors *where you can do something*. Then figure out how, and find people. It can be big or small (write a letter, make a call, organize a protest, offer shelter)

My senator seems like the only member of his chamber who is expressing the alarm and outrage that this moment requires (and doing a great job on Insta, also). Where is everyone else???

Embarrassed to say that I bought a Tesla this year. Melon Husk wants to listen in on my conversations. Hard pass.

Asha Rangappa prebunks Elon Musk's Super Bowl propaganda, and explains his personal animus against USAID, America’s humanitarian relief agency.

I wrote about the importance of "prebunking," in light of rumors that Elon Musk may have purchased $40 million in Super Bowl ads to spread misinformation about the "fraud" and "corruption" in this vital agency. I hope you will read and share asharangappa.substack.com/p/prebunking...

1. It’s WSJ reporter. 2. Even when the Trump Admin fires one of their own, it is The Media’s fault. We made them do it. 3. Americans have a right to know the names of people running the country. 4. This is a time for journos to be fearless because this is part of the deal now.

The US government has now gutted all of the tools created to fight kleptocracy. It's going to be up to other democracies to save their political and financial systems from anonymous flows of cash. www.themoscowtimes.com/2025/02/07/w...
