I hope the media doesn’t fall for the James Comry distraction. DOJ does not have a prosecutable case against Comey, this is all a show for political cover and another distraction from the Epstein files. Repost if you think the Epstein file should be released!

Do it. Time to make a change.

'Based on government and independent analyses, right-wing extremist violence has been responsible for the overwhelming majority of fatalities, amounting to approximately 75% to 80% of U.S. domestic terrorism deaths since 2001.' theconversation.com/right-wing-e...

Three Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justices have raised more than $2.8 million to make the case that voters should keep them on the state’s top court this fall. But newly filed campaign finance reports suggest those efforts may be overshadowed by outside interest groups on both sides of the debate.

Good news. Democracy under assault is starting to break through. Bigger concern than the economy which never happens for Dems AND Indies... Repubs it's not but not close to the gap it would normally be..

Multiple people shot at Texas Ice office as suspected gunman dies

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com: Trump knows Homan can't survive if video of him with undercover FBI agents becomes public youtu.be/ge9SfSn7i2M?...

White people can move the needle if they want. Y'all got Jimmy Kimmel back on the air boycotting, you can throw some of that expendable income to support the vulnerable through mutual aid, you can make some moves against fascism instead of performatively bemoaning what you think doesn't affect you.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Pitt confirms that it quietly ended its decade-long partnership with Sichuan University in China, which included the Sichuan University-Pittsburgh Institute.

ICE going full Theon Greyjoy

The convicted felon, adjudicated, rapist and accused pedophile in the White House says people who are anti-fascist are “terrorists”. Do these people look like terrorists to you?

Americans I am begging you to sort this out. Your mad racist uncle has shat himself in public again.

I did the artwork for this piece in @wired.com !

26-year-old @katmabu.bsky.social made her name swatting down right-wing talking points on social media. Now she’s hoping internet fame can propel her to Congress. “I just couldn’t watch it anymore. I thought, fuck it, I’m going to run.” From our politics issue:

Watching a third of the country beclown and degrade themselves in cultish devotion to this stumbling turnip makes me want to puke.

FreePress mobilizes public to call Sinclair and Nexstar to bring Jimmy Kimmel back on the air thedemlabs.org/2025/09/23/f... @vivalavoices.bsky.social @gailwaldby.bsky.social

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) flew its drones, which could include the agency’s MQ-9 Predator drones, at least 50 times last year in support of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), according to new data obtained by 404 Media. 🔗 www.404media.co/cbp-flew-dro...

The convicted felon in the White House just told the UN General Assembly “I’m really good at this stuff and your countries are going to hell.” Is he really good at this stuff?

Newly released data shows Customs and Border Protection funneled the DNA of nearly 2,000 US citizens—some as young as 14—into an FBI crime database, raising alarms about oversight and legality. www.wired.com/story/dhs-ha...

FCC Chair Brendan Carr is bending the knee to Trump and silencing voices he disagrees with. Republicans just blocked our motion to subpoena him.

This went out to Democracy Docket subscribers this morning. Become a premium member now to access my entire analysis of why legacy media is bowing to Trump, while also helping promote pro-democracy independent media. Your support has never been more important. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

This is the whole ball game, gang.

Right-wing Sinclair Broadcasting owns all these local media stations and many others all across America. This is not journalism, it is scripted propaganda.

Your reminder that Disney has been shit for a while bsky.app/profile/evan...

Trump is launching a full blown attack on free speech while his harem of billionaires buys up every media platform. This is no coincidence. It’s a coordinated attack on your fundamental right to speak freely without worrying if you’ll lose your job or worse.

Cutely is the point.

Greenfield said the Vermont ice cream maker "has been silenced, sidelined for fear of upsetting those in power" by Unilever, the multinational corporation that bought Ben & Jerry's in 2000.

Literally you cannot make up this level of hypocrisy. What an endless chode.

Kara Swisher on Jimmy Kimmel: "Nexstar is trying to do a very large merger with Tegna, and so they will do whatever it takes." Anderson Cooper: "That's an important point, because that merger would require the approval of the FCC."

Sad snowflakes

Everything Maron says. Right here.

Immigration Judge Orders Mahmoud Khalil to Be Deported to Syria or Algeria The Palestinian activist's lawyers say he remains protected for now by a federal judge's previous order preventing his removal while his case proceeds, writes @premthakker.bsky.social: zeteo.com/p/immigratio...

I said, many times, that the regime is going to fall. It is just a question of how. It can fall either through internal collapse (Trump fuckin dies), elections, the army, or people in the streets. Elections, and the associated dismantling of the regime, is the best outcome for elites rolling over.

Forget The New York Times or The Washington Post Subscribe to The Verge instead Their coverage of the Trump administration has been stellar

It’s Constitution Day. So, of course, Jimmy Kimmel’s show got canceled over comments he made that the administration didn’t like. And DHS Sec’y Noem went on an ICE raid where American citizens were detained. Read on for the update you need tonight: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

So it wasn’t just Nextstar wanting the FCC to change rules to allow a merger, Sinclair was also pulling Kimmel.

After this quote is a bit of framing Pritzker has notably been using more: he goes through and names how "we can't rely" on all three branches of the federal government to have any loyalty to the Constitution. The implication of who else that leaves in the American system of government isn't subtle.

News organizations need to stop calling “immigration judges” — executive branch employees — judges in headlines. Doing so does virtually the only thing a headline should never do: It confuses the reader.

We all need to do this!

Yes + Jeffries. The "smart" short-term play for companies right now is to collude with the regime. Congressional leaders should be making it clear how stupid and self-destructive that will be in the medium-term.
