Where do you stand? Where do our β€œleaders” stand? What are you going to tell your children and grandkids and nieces and nephews some day? Which side of history do you represent?!?! B

Thank you! Because of YOU I have tears of hope glistening my weary, disenfranchised, troubled, and worried eyes.

These are people who are part of the American Academy for the Advancement of Science... who want to find a middle ground between RFK and who exactly? Universities? The NIH?

Let's compromise w the fascists so we can do some part of our work?

Get a grip people. Acknowledge what we are dealing with.

Judith Butler, philosopher: β€˜If you sacrifice a minority like trans people, you are operating within a fascist logic’ A leading figure in feminism and gender studies, the thinker welcomes EL PAÍS in California after being voted one of the most influential minds in the world

Judith Butler: "Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic, because that means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice, and a third, a fourth, and then what happens?"

Fascinating split. Nowadays I’m interested whenever it’s not a split based solely on political ideology grounds.

These are the questions that are haunting me today.Β 

Americans of conscience, we must stand together and confront any president so wholly unsuited to lead the United States.

Keep resisting and encouraging others to do so. We can’t be complicit. Too much at stake.

Musk’s DOGE agents access sensitive personnel data, alarming security officials Elon Musk’s DOGE team has accessed highly restricted data maintained by the Office of Personnel Management, including personally identifiable information for millions of federal employees.

As a federal retiree who defended the Constitution of the United States and faithfully executed its laws for more than 41 years, _in IT management_, this is a fresh level of hell. Elon now has the ability to wipe the records of my employment (which back up my retirement) from existence.

Inside Musk’s Aggressive Incursion Into the Federal Government (Gift Article) The billionaire is creating major upheaval as his team sweeps through agencies, in what has been an extraordinary flexing of power by a private individual.

Finally The New York Times has woken up and put the Elon Musk story front and center. (Although they still haven't used the word COUP.) In times like these, being two days late to the story can make the difference between a coup that succeeds and a coup that fails.

Surprised? Any reader of dystopian lit has seen the egomaniac leading blind followers & the crest of inhumane cruelty. We read about Nazi Germany. See it in Hungary. Afghanistan. To destroy and lead a nation? Is that the why? Does it all come down to power? WHY?!? The world/we could be better.

At home, Trump has enabled Musk to stage a coup against the government with his army of unvetted stooges taking over the Treasury.

Abroad, he's shut down aid & canceled malaria/ HIV programs & put 1000s of lives at risk.

Meanwhile, top Democratic leaders are tweeting about egg and priza prices. 😠

Tesla, the most valuable automaker in the world valued at over $1 trillion, did not pay any federal income tax last year. Few people can look ahead more than a few months with certainty. This is outrageous. itep.org/tesla-repor...

Attention all weak-kneed Republicans (and Democrats who may have fallen silent):

This is how it's done. This is the way.

You hear the lie and you push back on the lie. Set the tone on Day 1.

You don't cower in fear from the bully - you punch the bully in the face.

All together, the thirteen billionaires tapped by Trump to serve in his administration are worth at least $340 billion – higher than the GDP of 172 countries.

Why any working person in America would ever think Trump or his administration is looking out for your interests is a mystery to us.

Are people creating emergency plans to flee the US if life becomes unbearable under his dictatorship? Just need to hear what people are planning to understand possible options.
