Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Elon Musk’s agenda takes aim at all of us including those who voted for Trump.

Right now there are thousands of angry people as far as the eye can see at the treasury wondering who the hell elected Musk President?

Members of Elon Musk’s secretive team, tasked with reviewing federal agencies for potential cuts, are refusing to reveal their full names to civil servants. Musk’s representatives declined to provide their surnames and refused to answer any questions.

The Coming Attack on Free and Fair Elections From Marc | If we are to preserve democracy, those of us on the left must prioritize free and fair elections.

Like most aspiring autocrats, he fears democratic institutions because they threaten to place restraints on him. And for him and his movement nothing is more concerning than free and fair elections. He knows from experience that it is just as easy to lose an election as it is to win.

The Trump administration blamed the dismantling of USAID on its workers’ high levels of β€œinsubordination.” Nothing like gaslighting America.

I really think it would be better if Senate Democrats stop telling us what they are thinking about doing and just do it.

Yes, It’s a Coup and Yes, It’s Targeting You January 6 was nothing compared to the current mob of thugs intent on tearing apart our country’s very system of government.

it β€œlooks very much like the coup- is now succeeding, thanks to the fawning, yawning complicity of the supine media, timid Democratic leaders- & the obliviousness of an electorate apparently unbothered by the slow-motion destruction of their own democracy.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has returned from a trip to El Salvador where he secured an agreement from that country's president to accept deportees from the U.S. of any nationality β€” including American citizens β€” offering to hold them in the country's sprawling maximum-security facility…

So many people are in denial about the fascism we're seeing before our eyes. They're dismissive of my concerns, which is nothing new, but I just want my family to be safe and secure in Mexico. It's not my concern if they have no self-preservation, but at least get out of my way.

The cognitive dissonance of getting up every morning and making coffee and walking the dog and going to meetings and answering emails and wondering what to make for dinner while there is a real live actual coup d’etat happening is BONKERS

A screenshot of a tweet by Elon Musk replying to a tweet by Nayib Bukele. Musk's tweet says, "Great idea!!". Bukele’s tweet states that El Salvador has offered the U.S. the option to outsource part of its prison system, taking in convicted criminals, including U.S. citizens, into El Salvador's mega-prison. The tweet includes four images: an aerial night view of a large prison complex with bright lights, another aerial shot of the facility, a crowded room of shirtless tattooed prisoners sitting with their hands on their heads, and a group of heavily armed guards overseeing a mass of prisoners in a large hall.

Elon endorses sending US citizens to prisons in El Salvador. Elon is an existential threat to every US citizen.

Hey everyone. It’s Feb 3rd, and the Democrats have been at home since Jan 24th because the house is out of session.

They should have come back, the place is on fire.

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options.

Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.
