“Musk’s ego and actions suggest he might outstrip historical tyrants in his own way.” — Grok I am an award-winning scientist and entrepreneur thrice recognized by the United States Department of Homeland Security as having extraordinary ability. I have had the privilege of working with Stephen Hawking, of being mentored by Nobel Laureate Francis Crick, and of creating a multibillion dollar company of which I am supermajority owner. I have known Elon Musk at a deep level for 14 years. I understand exactly how sick, dangerous, sadistic, manipulative and power-hungry he truly is. He has a pattern of investing in companies, destabilizing and wounding them under the guise of making them more “efficient” before sacking their leader and taking them over. He did that with Tesla and Twitter — he tried a similar thing at OpenAI and NeuroVigil, and I had to fire him from my own company. Now, this person who worships Sulla, the Roman general who wrestled power away from the Senate and became Dictator, is doing the exact same thing with the US government, his biggest investment to-date, using Trump to tear down the Constitution and weaken the country before he tears up Trump. We are in the first phase of a double coup, the first by Musk via Trump, and the second by Musk against Trump. Elon wants to be Dictator — yes, really. His own AI recognizes the historic danger he poses. America IS under attack while Congress is in a coma. Your home is literally on fire while you are asleep and suffocating in the fumes. This is NOT a drill. Take a good look at what is happening and finally wake the fuck up!

We have essential workers getting fired, we have highly qualified people fired because of their gender, sexual orientation or skin color, we have universities, the FBI and military leadership and legal corps gutted, we have entire agencies defunded in contravention of Article 1 of the Constitution, we have Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security threatened by a Nazi Saluting Goverment Subsidized Corporate Welfare Baby, hiding behind a fake “agency”, who locked out government officials out of their office and stole Americans’ private information, we have Google pressured to summarily rename geography and social media coerced to practice censorship, we have a Vice President scolding a freedom fighter and meeting Nazis, we have a President violating the Records Act, the Hatch Act, and the 1st Amendment, a President bullying the media and law firms, a President claiming that he can interpret the law as he sees fit and that he is above the law in the first place, a President kidnapping British and Canadian tourists and even a US Permanent Resident, a President turning Guantanamo into a fucking Concentration Camp, a President who is creating a dumb trade war with Mexico as well as with Canada which it is removing from 5 Eyes and which it promises to annex, a President crashing the stock market, a President abandoning Ukraine, and a President who today promised the invasion of Greenland in front of the NATO Secretary General!!

THIS IS A COUP BY THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH Where are the so-called Constitution Loving “Patriotic” Republicans in Congress? Have they ALL abdicated their solemn duty to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic”? Are they hoping the Judiciary will magically swoop in before fucking tanks are in the streets? Have they not studied History? Do they not have, for all their tough talking over the years, a picogram of Courage? WHERE THE FUCK ARE AMERICA’S SO-CALLED LEADERS? Where is President Bill Clinton? Where is Barack Obama? Where is Joe Biden? Where is Kamala Harris? And, especially, where the hell is George W. Bush? Most of them spoke a big game about “standing up to Putin”, and sent young men and women who otherwise had their whole lives ahead of them overseas to make the Ultimate Sacrifice to protect the freedoms of other countries, but yet they cannot find it in their stomach to stand up to a Petty Buffoon, a Village Idiot despised by the majority of Americans and utter one fucking syllable to protect Freedom at home and the very Constitutional Republic it stands on? Have they completely abandoned the very people who stood by them and the “ideals” they claimed to hold dear?

Don’t they fathom that they can mobilize the Public to put Real Pressure on Congress, that they can embolden Judges and, for the former Commanders in Chief, that they can act as a moral guardrail against Trump unleashing the military on the People? If they are not speaking because they are worried Trump will remove their protection and leave them at the mercy of Proud Boys and Oath Keepers — actual domestic terrorists he released from jail — as he has for Anthony Fauci and General Milley who have served honorably, then SHARE AND @highlight THIS MESSAGE, and tell them that a Canadian citizen, Philip Low, will pay for their security and protect their right to free speech, but they need to EXERCISE IT NOW!!!

WHERE ARE AMERICA’S SO-CALLED LEADERS?

Tell Congress to stop the dismantling of federal agencies & unjust mass firing of employees! Take action now! Tell Congress to stand up to Elon Musk and Donald Trump and stop the dismantling of federal agencies and unjust mass firing of employees!

Yes she is.

You should! I will be away Monday through Wednesday.

Threads is still meta so I try to stay away. Can only take so much in these days. Am active with Olympia Indivisible and national indivisible. Keeps me aware without overwhelm and provides actions to take. Also downloaded an app 5 Calls that is very helpful for quick action and localizing actions.

That sucks.

Hi! How are you doing? Let’s see if this can be like messenger or something so we never have to use the MoFos platform.

Also it’s not ‘DOGE staffer’, bc it isn’t a department. It isn’t anything. No one will say it, but ‘DOGE brownshirt’ or ‘DOGE thug’ or ‘DOGE gang member’ is literally more accurate to what is happening.

FYI: we blocked all crypto ads, but they use unrelated URLs to circumvent our block. If you hear an ad that doesn’t make sense, let us know what city you’re in, the day and time, and what URL they’re using and we can block them. Insidious whack-a-mole.

Please plan a visit to your nearest US Senate office to push senators to stand up against Trump’s lawless overreach. Your ask will be slightly different if your senator is a Democrat or Republican. We put together a toolkit with everything you need to know: http://indivisi.org/...

ABC News reported Marco Rubio has been acting as head of the National Archives for weeks. This is news to everyone at the National Archives, including, apparently, the current head of NARA:

The #Resistance Lives. It Just Looks Different This Time. Defying mainstream media narratives about the exhausted opposition, protests are picking up in D.C. and across the country, led by protesters who never hung up their placards to begin with.

AOC Rips Trump a New One Over Lies About D.C. Plane Crash Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called out Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and their peddling of lies.

“Trump gutted the Aviation Safety committee last week,” AOC wrote. “Air traffic controllers—already understaffed—got Trump’s ‘buyout’ this week with a 1 week ultimatum to decide. It’s not DEI—it’s him. And Elon too.”

NTEU has sent an email regarding the follow up OPM Fork email urging people not to accept the deferred resignation. The bolded “FU” is a nice touch.

Michelle Singleton on here: “Over 600 Chicagoans turned out for today's Indivisible strategy session. Key take homes: do not obey in advance, hold your reps at all levels accountable, target communities lead--we support, and figure out how to make the work fun because we're in for a long haul.”

Capitulation or courage. Which side are you on?

Many of us have wondered how we would’ve responded in 1930s & 40s Germany. Would we have been in the Resistance or with those who stayed silent? I don’t plan to stay silent.

The IGs fire back.

Trump might eventually get his way...but don't make it easy for him.

Don't let him circumvent a single law.

Challenge every amoral, unethical, unconstitutional action.

Fight him tooth and nail every step of the way.
