Every. Word.

This guy @mayor.nyc.gov should be mayor! #wedidthat

"If [the FCC's Brendan] Carr has his way, you won’t see critical coverage of whatever wars Trump blunders us into. You won’t hear ... talk show hosts make jokes about Republicans. And your local news will become even more dominated by the super-rich friends of MAGA." My Stop the Presses newsletter.

So grateful for @aoc.bsky.social 's generosity, commitment, and belief in all #wethepeople can be. Let's do all we can to live up to her faith in us.

It's darkest before the dawn Virginia was a setback But we're litigating in Florida, organizing across the South, & marching in Montgomery on May 16 This is how democracies survive & how you can help on @contrariannews.org contrariannews.org/p/we-promised-to-fight-gop-gerrymandering

Another in a series of late nights. I am doing everything I can to spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. You can help me by subscribing to Democracy Docket for free and sharing its content with everyone you know. Thanks. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Also, one of my mom’s former 5th grade students from SUVA intermediate school won a seat on the city council. First time Whittier has had a Latino majority city council in its 128 year history. As it should!

So beautiful I think I might cry.

"Freedom is not a state; it is an act. It is not some enchanted garden perched high on a distant plateau where we can finally sit down and rest. Freedom is the continuous action we all must take, and each generation must do its part to create an even more fair, more just society." —John Lewis

Congress can block this if it wants to.

In a world where I still can't get over agreeing with Bill Kristol about anything, THIS.

Political violence should be condemned unequivocally, regardless of motive. An urgent principle to hold onto always, and especially in polarized times. (1/2)

We must continue to take a stand against political violence and condemn it on all fronts.

Here is our directory of 2,300+ local news outlets not invited and not sending representives to the WHCA dinner charade. Put our 50 state searchable #LocalJournalism directory to use. Support local journalists. Gift #GoodNews! www.mediaanddemocracyproject.org/journalism-d...

Today, I urge everyone to find and financially support an independent news outlet — one that will not be attending a spectacle dinner tonight to schmooze with the Trump administration while they berate the press.

Fast, frequent, and reliable transit will increase ridership levels. Protected cycling networks will increase cyclist numbers. Taxing parking lots based on true current market value will encourage development

The 7-11-77 test for good cycling infrastructure: a 7-year-old can ride comfortably with an adult, an 11-year-old on their own, and a 77-year-old would also feel comfortable.

@urbantruth.bsky.social Helmet laws don’t make cycling safer. #urbantruth

Democrats have had enough. #glovesoff

Leader @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social: Our message to Florida Republicans is fuck around and find out. If they go down the road of a Desantis dummymander, they'll find themselves in the same situation as Texas Republicans. They started this war. And we're gonna finish it.

The SAVE Act stalled in the Senate. It’s a major victory in the fight for the freedom to vote. Thank you to everyone who spoke out against what threatened to become the most restrictive voting bill ever passed by Congress.

Jeffries threatening “maximum warfare” if Florida redistricts

Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.

So much of our language reflects the common “car first” bias around our streets, & we should never forget that much of that language was the result of deliberate campaigns to specifically re-write our perspective of streets as “for cars only.” This is one of the more subtle, but important, examples.

📢 We've reached *3000* documented authoritarian-like actions of Trump's second term since Jan 2025... the two most recent are classic suppression of the press & using the justice system to attack political enemies www.trumpactiontracker.info

Essential reading. If you have not yet read this, please do. "Narrative Warfare and the Breakdown of Reality" @mariaressa.bsky.social and colleagues.

DOJ demanded voter files from all 50 states. DOJ sued 31 states for refusing their demand. My law firm intervened to protect voters in those cases. DOJ is now 0-5. My firm is 5-0. Lesson: When we fight we win.

What if we lose?

I'm on the train back to DC – I call on all my colleagues to come back, too. Congress must vote to end this war IMMEDIATELY.

AOC: “This is a threat of genocide & merits removal from office. The President’s mental faculties are collapsing & cannot be trusted. To every individual in the President’s chain of command: You have a duty to refuse illegal orders. That includes carrying out this threat”

The axe to the root!

Ever wonder how to get rid of a mattress? Or how to find resources for a neighbor in need? Call 311.    311 is contacted 100,000 times every day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year. No call is too small.    So on the anniversary of 311 (3/11), I decided to answer some of those calls myself.

we'll see how it shakes out over the course of years, but as of right now, mamdani is definitely showing how the future of good progressive governance means "use government to do good things and then post about it" both parts are important!

Reminder this guy is still doing the worst possible stuff to our most vulnerable

Sandra Wong, the great granddaughter of Wong Kim Ark, is preparing to march at the #NoKings Rally in San Francisco. Today is the 128th Anniversary of the SCOTUS decision affirming birthright citizenship.

Clark: House Republicans refuse to take yes for an answer. Mike Johnson said that this bill is a joke. That is another classic we can add to their lines about how they feel about the American people and what they are going through right now. We can add it to “affordability is a hoax”

Democrats have been fighting for all of this since the presidency of Jimmy Carter (1977-1981) What's been holding things up? Republicans in bed with the oil and gas industry. Voters, you know what to do. #GOTV

This is what democracy looks like.

Scholars & organizers: consider submitting a proposal for this special issue of @jhppl.bsky.social. Community organizing has transformative possibilities. It should be studied, understood, discussed, and highlighted as a core democratic practice. This special issue does part of that work. Submit!

Unfortunately, this #inanity is also holding the entire world hostage.

Here is what you need to know about the SAVE Act: 1. It started as a stunt by Mike Johnson to protect his speakership. 2. It has evolved into a massive voter suppression bill. 3. When it fails, Trump will escalate to something even more dangerous. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

kind of annoyed that the narrative is clearly going to be “Israel got us into Iran” when Russia is right there and is cashing the checks
