Elon Musk deployed his vast resources to help Trump get elected, and now he’s poised to remake the US government to serve his interests.
But that was only possible because far too many people chose to ignore who he was to tell a more appealing story of a founder moving humanity forward. They should be held accountable.

Shame on the Elon enablers
Media and politicians created a monster and lost control of himParis Marx (Disconnect)
Last year, New Mexico adopted House Bill 4, which establishes that those convicted of a felony can still vote, providing they are not incarcerated. A crew of people set to work registering newly eligible voters and in doing so discovered thousands of people who had been wrongfully denied their voting rights, for many years before. They’ve successfully sued the state so that those affected will be able to vote next Tuesday. It’s a victory, but some voters still feel mistrustful of the government. @bolts explains more.

People make fun of the “what happens in the booth stays in the booth” election ads, but I know poll workers who have had to keep husbands out of their wive’s voting booths because they had to “make sure she votes right”. When I was phone banking I also talked with a woman who’s husband or boyfriend was clearly around and it almost definitely changed the nature of the call. Voter intimidation by men is a real problem and I’m glad these ads address it.
Normalization in a time of madness, on behalf of a population dedicated to not knowing terrible things. Bearing witness in a supremacist nation on the verge of a Nazi takeover
Nazism is on the ballot this year, and people who consider themselves Nazis know it, even if so many of the rest of us seem not to want to. So it came to pass that Nazis came to the pro-Trump boat show in Jupiter Florida last week.
