He's openly admitting they're going to use the military to do illegal things and fired all the lawyers so no one will stop them. They will use the military on US civilians and they will give the order to shoot. The question is whether the rank and file listen.

“in Musk and his companies’ futures. It’s all legal, or most of it is, but it’s one big confidence scheme built upon a house of cards. These investors believe in Musk largely because he, like his father, is a relentless liar who refuses to back down once his dishonesty becomes glaringly obvious.”

I rarely am this direct, but this seems an excellent time. Name one civil rights movement that was borne on the backs of the wealthy. Where the voices at the front were privileged people who would have been safer staying out. No? That's because it has always fallen to those with something to lose.

National, regional, and global economies with billions of transactions? So simple. The labyrinthine Rube Goldberg US healthcare system? So simple. Hemisphere-wide migration movements? So simple. The most straightforward act of unprovoked military aggression in decades? Well, it’s complicated.

Elon, I hate to break it to you but you aren’t my boss. I answer to the people of Minnesota. But since you bring it up, I spent last week fighting to stop tax breaks for billionaires like you, paid for by defunding health care for moms and babies

Thread - I've been thinking a lot about Walter Lippmann’s Public Opinion lately, especially in the context of Musk’s role in dismantling the federal workforce through DOGE. It’s a perfect example of what Lippmann warned about over a century ago.

Here’s my prediction for DOGE: Whatever minimal amount of money it may possibly save in the short term will be far exceeded by the ultimate cost of fixing all of the problems it creates. It’s already an epic failure.

This was the moment, just over a month ago, when the ADL could've put an end to Republicans doing Nazi salutes. They didn't. They chose instead to provide cover by calling it "an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm." Now the sieg heil salute has been normalized. The ADL literally had ONE JOB.
