To the editor: The honeymoon is over. It’s time for all individuals who don’t want to see our nation stripped of all of its protections for its residents, the freedoms afforded every of us and its standing as a rustic of energy and decency to shout from the rooftops: Sufficient! (“Can Elon Musk shut down a federal agency? Yes, if presidential rule replaces constitutional governance,” Feb. 4)
How on this planet is Elon Musk allowed to infiltrate our treasury to fulfill his skilled and private features? That is outrageous.
Our president’s dismantling of programs (imperfect, however seemingly the perfect on this planet) comply with Grover Norquist’s and the GOP’s long-held want to scale back authorities “to the scale the place I can drag it into the toilet and drown it within the bathtub.” Pretty, hey?
Our nation’s path is one that’s being determined by a prison who has surrounded himself with grasping sycophants who care just for their private income and couldn’t care much less about the remaining or our futures.

To the editor: The courts won’t save us. Congress won’t rescue us.
States can supply sanctuary and assets and ferocity and empathy. Every particular person could wrest again consent to be ruled by tyranny, to acquiesce to our personal demise.
Each particular person knowledgeable by decency, now encased in anguish and revulsion and anger, is poised to behave as quickly as a salient alternative beckons.
Be the chance — alt-government by compassion and democracy. It’s time for daring and decisive measures.

To the editor: Ken Martin, the brand new chairman of the Democratic Nationwide Committee, must get busy on Venture 2029.
The far proper was prepared with many orders for the president to signal on his first day. It hit the bottom operating.
Look to the long run, have a plan, prepare. If there’s an election in 2028, I hope we won’t have had 4 years of dithering.
