So many articles all predicting doom and gloom.
What I can't understand is the lack of anger/outrage/defiance - whatever you want to call it. I fully realise that it's easy to sit here in my suburban UK kitchen and demand action but if something like Trump/Musk's takeover of government/sacking workers without cause etc happened here, surely we'd take to the streets? Or am I an old leftie, living in a Che Guevara Neverland in my head?
Where are the Democrats?
I see some 'protests' are being censored (in this case by Bezos)
From NYT:
An advertisement that was set to run in some editions of The Washington Post on Tuesday calling for Elon Musk to be fired from his role in government was abruptly canceled, according to one of the advocacy groups that had ordered the ad.
Common Cause said it was told by the newspaper on Friday that the ad was being pulled. The full-page ad, known as a wraparound, would have covered the front and back pages of editions delivered to the White House, the Pentagon and Congress, and was planned in collaboration with the Southern Poverty Law Center Action Fund.
A separate, full-page ad with the same themes would have been allowed to run inside the newspaper, but the two groups chose to cancel the internal ad as well. Both ads would have cost the groups $115,000.
“We asked why they wouldn’t run the wrap when we clearly met the guidelines if they were allowing the internal ad,” said Virginia Kase Solomón, the president and chief executive of Common Cause. “They said they were not at liberty to give us a reason.”
