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

Donald Trump replacing a black four-star general with a white three-star general as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is everything MAGA claims they hate about DEI: giving a less qualified person the job based on their race, not their resume.

An hourly reminder that DOGE is not about Elon Musk cutting government money waste, it is about wasting more government money on Elon Musk. Here is Elon cutting NASA, a government agency that his private company competes with for federal funding. They aren't even bothering to hide the corruption.

We're seeing a lot of aviation accidents since Elon took over and started firing everyone, and giving orders that people can't communicate with foreign counterparts. A downed jet is one thing, but imagine if something doesn't get seated correctly in a nuke warhead that gets installed in Nebraska..

When Elon took over Twitter, he crashed servers. When he took over the FAA, he crashed airliners. When the Pantex Plant in Amarillo blows up, and we're all hiding from radioactive fallout, you'll know he took over the nuclear weapons program.

I've even heard white people talking about Michelle Obama - notably NOT A POLITICIAN - rescuing us. I'm seeing white people come into Black people's mentions demanding to know what we are doing to step up. Stop. Read this thread, send it to your friends, and don't demand salvation from Black people.
