Fireworks Before Christmas - the new track & video by Georgian musician Coo (David Tsintsadze) features footage from last year’s mass #GeorgiaProtests. His first EP, against, will be dedicated to the resistance. This honestly gives me shivers. Until victory, SAKARTVELO! 🇬🇪🇪🇺

Betty Reid Soskin spent her life preserving Black history, women’s stories, and overlooked voices in the country’s national park sites.

“Swearing is literally a calorie neutral, drug free, low cost, readily available tool at our disposal for when we need a boost in performance.” Well, f*ck!

No matter we will tax them all to oblivion and get what is rightfully the peoples to use for what we need.

I mean yeah it’s an authoritarian takeover but can we take some comfort in the fact that the people doing it are INSANELY stupid?

Dear Santa, A Democrat for Governor in Georgia would be an amazing gift for everyone. Best, JC

In 2019, Rob & Michelle Reiner joined VoteVets to film a powerful ad featuring Rob’s father, Carl, a World War II Army Air Force veteran. In it, Carl and other veterans called out Donald Trump for failing to uphold his oath to the Constitution. The Reiners' support meant the world to us.

Did you hear about the new Trump-class ships? When you send them to battle, they suddenly get bone spurs and turn the other way.

DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor. Now, more than ever, help build independent, pro-democracy media. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

NEW EPISODE: I recently argued my 5th Supreme Court case. As I prepared, I came across a conservative gun case that I realized could help restore the right to vote as a first-class constitutional right. I promise you will learn and I hope you are inspired to stay in the fight for democracy.

BREAKING: Paulette Jordan just won the Democratic primary for governor in Idaho. She’s now positioned to become the first female and first Native American governor of Idaho in HISTORY. I fully support this!! 💯

The financial distress of protesters in Georgia is unimaginable, and while we still don't have any support whatsoever as are partners still discussing channeling ways, at least we can sometimes rely on each other for helping us out.

House Republicans are going on vacation and letting your health care subsidies lapse.

This is outrageous. It is abundantly clear that Republicans and the Trump administration want to strangle the VA until it all get privatized. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Also it really can’t be understated how much the voucher scam has helped to take a sledgehammer to public education here. Just a regular stream of these kinds of headlines ever since:

In Alaska we got gutted by libertarian shitbags, lapping the Koch brothers balls. They have Koch reps sitting on town halls in my city. They defunded the schools for 2 decades, we’re 51st in education nationally, and they wonder why people are leaving. alaskapublic.org/news/educati...

Trump is intellectually less competent, tactically less savvy, and politically weaker than he was even a year ago. And he's blatantly, flagrantly ill. The costs of standing by him are going up, and the costs of defying him are plummeting.

"By shouting things like 'our prices are coming down tremendously,' Trump is telling voters to 'reject the evidence of their eyes and ears.' But this is 2025, not 1984, and voters aren’t buying it."

Israel has killed 249 journalists in the last 2 years. That's more than were killed in WWII & the Vietnam War put together. A Vermonter, Dylan Collins, was wounded in one of these attacks, which killed another reporter. This war against journalists must be investigated & ended.

TEXAS NEEDS TERM LIMITS FOR GOVERNOR‼️ Gov Abbott announced that Texas has launched a partnership with Turning Point USA to create chapters on every high school campus. He warned schools that any attempt to block a TPUSA club should be reported and will face “meaningful disciplinary action.”

Today in Politics, Bulletin 268. This is a big one. Noem runs out of a hearing after getting destroyed and Indiana Republicans reject Trump. That and everything else that happened today in politics. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

President Donald Trump claimed Thursday that he has issued a “full pardon” to Tina Peters — the Colorado election denier serving a nine-year state sentence — even though presidents have no constitutional authority to pardon state-level crimes. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

We must approach each day with these questions: What can we do to protect free and fair elections? How can we counter what the GOP is doing? How can we advance the voting rights of every eligible citizen and ensure their ballots are accurately counted and elections properly certified?

This is exactly right.
