"In other countries, this would be called 'an authoritarian coup.' In America, mealy-mouthed officials call our transition into a mafia state 'deeply troubling' and do little to curb the damage."

I have sent a letter to my state representatives asking them to pass a law disallowing companies from operating in the state where C-Suite executives are waging war on the Constitution, punishable by civil forfeiture of company property.
![Dear Representative Feret,
I am a constituent from [REDACTED]
At this moment, our federal constitution is in crisis. Elon Musk-an unelected, unappointed, unconfirmed individual, in charge of a "department" that has no Congressional authority-has sent teenagers into OPM to download American's private, personal data in violation of the law and the Constitution. He has claimed the right to veto government spending approved by Congress-a power deemed illegal by the Supreme Court when exercised by the President, let alone a non-governmental official.
I cannot emphasize enough that if this is allowed to continue, we lose our constitutional democracy. Elon Musk does not have the power of the purse. Elon Musk has not had constitutional authority delegated to him in any official capacity. Elon Musk is exercising authority that does not belong to him. Authoritarian overreach must be stopped immediately, before it gains a foothold.
I know as a state representative, there are many things you cannot do. But it is not nothing.
I am asking you to take action to preserve our democracy and our Constitution by sponsoring and passing State laws that hold that companies with executives in the C-suite engaging in open violation of the laws and Constitution of the United States lack authority to operate in Colorado and any property in the state is subject to civil forfeiture upon suit by the Colorado Attorney General.
Thank you for your assistance.
Sincerely,](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:s5fi6htc7xhnshxxn37dg65c/bafkreib2bskhlea7eqojnbsw67pejm666gjdc72muwclpdnzspb2lrx6zq@jpeg)

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.

"Conservatives see amendments the same as they see genders. They've only heard of two and they only care about one." I wish I knew where to give credit for that quote.
