5 Calls Make It Incredibly Easy

February 9, 2025

Friday, I posted brief words from two geniuses, Garry Kasparov and Fareed Zakaria, and some extremely troubling background on a third, Elon Musk — 4 minutes in all if, like me, you’re a slow reader.

To which Freda S. reacted:


Yes!  We must take action!  5 Calls makes it incredibly easy.  Once you type in your location, it tells you your reps, their DC numbers, their district office numbers (click on the 3 dots next to the DC number) . . . and lists issues of concern that you can click on for information, complete with suggested ‘scripts’.  Please give it a try!



Comedian John Mulaney suggests there’s a horse loose in the hospital . . . but thinks (or pretends to think for the sake of his audience) it’s going to turn out okay.


Masha Gessen is much less sanguine:


[W]hen Vladimir Putin came to power in Russia . . . my world suddenly felt like a chessboard from which an invisible hand was picking off pieces faster than I had thought was possible.

Now, in Donald Trump’s America, I am living through something similar, and it is moving at a faster rate still.


Timothy Ryback recalls “The Oligarchs Who Came to Regret Supporting Hitler.”


They helped him in pursuit of profit. Many ended up in concentration camps.


Are there parallels between Alfred Hugenberg, 90 years ago, and Elon Musk today?


Speaking of whom, neuroscientist Philip Low shared this scathing personal perspective . . . and reports on the subsequent blowback.
