Transcript: Musk’s Threats Darken as Trump Declares Himself Above Law An interview with Steven Levitsky, a scholar of democratic breakdown, who explains how the latest threats from Trump and Elon Musk show telltale signs of a country slipping into authoritarian rule.

Political scientist Steven Levitsky on what we can do right now:
"ordinary voters have to turn out and vote. ... it’s incredibly important that people be involved, that they speak out ... join organizations, attend protests, write letters to their congresspeople."

Visited our alma mater this weekend 😁

Hit a year of learning German on Duolingo the other day! 🙌

It's only been a week but I'm exhausted. It's like we got knocked down + just keep getting beat up over + over. I've signed up to volunteer for orgs I align with, friends+family know I'm there, but is there anything else we can do? I know others feel the same but still feels hopeless at the moment

Time to see what this is all about. Hello Bluesky! 👋
