Rep Kevin Hern—scared to say anything against Trump. The obvious—if Zelenskyy were a dictator, Trump would love him like he loves Putin. Glad to see folks in Oklahoma calling him out. Even small town halls matter right now. Don’t let them off the hook. Keep calling, emailing, and confronting them.

Just saw that anyone can reply to Musk’s five-point email address. What can we say about NIH and government? In what ways is the federal government, NIH, university science, and the civil service better than Musk and his world? Send us your ideas! 🧪

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

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

The Trump regime's segregationist agenda is clear. I argue that having a Black man as president of white America enraged a portion of this country so much, that they decided to destroy any pipeline to Black advancement in academia, government, & workplaces. karenattiah.substack.com/p/trumps-seg...

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Höcke claimed that "Hitler was regarded as only bad.” He has been convicted twice by German courts for using Nazi slogans. And at one point his own fellow AfD leaders thought he was too extreme for their party. But he’s hero to Elon Musk.

So the President has abruptly fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Charles Q. Brown Jr., and is replacing him with a retired three star general, Dan Caine. This portends a future grave crisis as the President attempts to restructure the military into one personally loyal to him.

The last failsafe of any republican form of government is that the military is loyal to the constitution and rule of law over a particular leader. Cross that line, and you get Venezuela today and every dictatorship in history.

When taking actions late on a Friday night, a government sends a message its trying to pull one over on the public and the media, that it is hiding something or doing something it believes it should not do or will be seen as controversial. That is certainly true in this case.

For decades, the US government has painstakingly kept American science #1 globally—and every facet of American life has improved because of it. The internet? Flu shot? Ozempic? All grew out of federally-funded research. Now all that's being dismantled. 1/ www.technologyreview.com/2025/02/21/1...

📬🚨 HUGE NEWS 📬🚨 Trump plans to fire the USPS governing board, merge the Postal Service into the Commerce Department. It would disrupt 55 years of non-political mail service, and threatens to upend trillions of dollars of ecommerce and the 250 year-old US mail system.
