Musk and Trump are really seeking to annex the operations of the state to their pet vanity projects, bigotries, and conspiracy theories , but our enemy is not one or two men. Our enemy is apathy, cynicism, and fatalism; the pernicious, authoritarian-friendly belief that we are merely victims of world events rather than active participants in a global struggle for freedom and justice. Every time one of us—a family member, a community organizer, a representative, a senator—takes a step forward in this fight, a thousand pairs of eyes watch and learn. Courage is contagious.\n\nTake that step, and steel yourself with the knowledge that you are the defender of a 250-year experiment in self-governance—a real-life pluralistic democracy, imperfect as it is, striving to be more perfect. Our predecessors deposed a brain-addled king; they crushed the violent insurrectionists of a slaveholding confederacy; they forced the robber barons to contend with workers and unions; they kicked the Nazis’ asses throughout Europe; they broke the back of the southern segregationist political bloc; they fought back against the terrorizing forces at Stonewall. We have planted ourselves in stubborn opposition to monomaniacal fascists of one form or another for a quarter of a millennium. No entitled reality-TV has-been backed by an addle-brained billionaire who cheats at video games is going to roll over us now.", "image": { "$type": "blob", "ref": { "$link": "bafkreickf6abpbasrqoh4ry4ksqzwq3gd3jtjidi6h6edlgywdpzltre6m" }, "mimeType": "image/jpeg", "size": 697431 }, "aspectRatio": { "width": 1096, "height": 1255 } } ] }, "langs": [ "en" ], "facets": [ { "index": { "byteEnd": 297, "byteStart": 264 }, "features": [ { "uri": "https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/organize-trump-musk-putsch/", "$type": "app.bsky.richtext.facet#link" } ] } ], "createdAt": "2025-05-12T00:59:48.802Z" } }
