Donald Trump says Canada has no right to exist. I take the threat seriously. With our sovereignty on the table I support a national discussion on next steps. But CBC thinks it would be fun to have an American DJ co-host whether we should exist as a nation. Fuck that @ianhanomansing.bsky.social

I am grateful that so many people found my open letter to Elon Musk moving and want to share it. Some well meaning people are just cutting and pasting it on their social media feeds. I would appreciate it if people would link to the version posted on @democracydocket.com instead. Thanks. Marc

Dear President Musk, This week I helped make life suck less for Americans and wondered if a pathetic, tweaking, rich, psychopathic dickstain would fire me. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

This micro aggression IS psychological warfare and force people to resign. Trump and Musk need to explain to the American public how much time and money they have wasted on EO/DOGE non-core work related items just indulged the whims of self indulged, wannabe dictator!

A friend of mine who works in government helping veterans received an email from a south African billionaire demanding he justify his job to our draft dodging president. That's how absurd this shit is.

It would be a shame if millions of us spammed this address with gay porn, the bee movie script, or fed it into online spam email generators. A damn shame.

Seems like a good time for us all to send emails to [email protected] to let them know what we've been working on.

This is the text of the bullshit email all federal government employees just received from the Office of Personnel Management (or are about to receive).

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

Donald Trump's hunger for power was clearly displayed Friday in a brief exchange with Gov. Janet Mills (D-Maine). But of course, his "we are the federal law" is a big change from his many, many years of campaigning on "states' rights."

General CQ Brown, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, wasn't fired by Trump because he "supports woke policies." He was fired because he's a Black man in the nation's top uniformed military post.

This is huge breaking news. Trump fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Chief of Naval Ops, Vice of the Air Force and all three JAG’s of the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Watch this breaking news report we did for @votevets.org tonight. This is outragous. www.youtube.com/live/OdOjEdR...

"U.S. negotiators pressing Kyiv for access to Ukraine's critical minerals have raised the possibility of cutting the country's access to Elon Musk's vital Starlink satellite internet system, three sources familiar with the matter told Reuters."

None of this has anything to do with effectiveness, or “lethality,” or promoting “warfighters," or any other buzzwords. It is praetorianism, plain and simple, and it is an assault on our military and our democracy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

Yesterday’s episode in SLC made me think about “Moving Fast and Breaking Things” We were already late inbound, with one more leg for the day. It was snowing in SLC, so that meant going to the deicing pad. We all know that deicing means things will take longer. Sometimes a LOT longer. 1/6

A small government team at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, responsible for regulating autonomous cars—which Elon Musk claims are the future of Tesla—is being cut nearly in half by Musk. Conflict of interest?
