I’d encourage everybody to watch 12 Angry Men. It’s a film from 1957 about a murder trial and it applies to everything we’re seeing today with cognitive dissonance and anti intellectualism

BREAKING: The judge has DISMISSED the criminal charges against Kilmar Abrego Garcia on vindictive and selective prosecution grounds! A MAJOR win for Mr. Abrego. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The federal prosecution against Kumar Abrego Garcia has been dismissed storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Hell Yeah Science☄️💥⚡️💯

This is so beautiful! Of course I canceled my Paramount subscription. Stephen Colbert will be truly missed 🥺 #Pinks #USDemocracy

It's worth noting that Anita Hill accused Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment in 1991 and in those days other women also testified that Thomas had a heavy obsession with pornography. This coincides with his appearances in the Epstein Files. Maybe we should look closer.

Ohio’s state sales tax exemption for data centers cost $1.6 BILLION in 2025 — 11x more than its original estimate. That’s $1.6 billion that could have gone to public schools and healthcare instead of Big Tech CEOs’ pockets. Is it any wonder communities are organizing against data centers?

BREAKING: The judge in the $1.7B slush fund suit has dismissed the case, but she says THERE IS NO SETTLEMENT OF RECORD. As I said earlier, the media must stop reporting that this slush fund is a settlement. It's just plain THEFT. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Sally Ride, beloved astronaut.

The United States government just agreed to pay $1.8 billion to the United States president, approved by the president's own personal lawyer who represented him when he was convicted of 34 criminal counts. This is the biggest scandal in all of American political history.

This should be the headline story on every news publication and telecast including local news every day for several days. But it won’t. It will be shrugged off like so much else by so much of media. The most corrupt thing that has ever come out of the US govt.

We Are a Democracy! “We don't live in a democracy, we live in a constitutional republic." This is like saying "I don't have a dog, I have a golden retriever." A constitutional republic is a type of democracy. You didn't catch anyone in a gotcha. You told everyone you don't know what words mean.

Many of you are asking how you can help me. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket for free and share its content with everyone you know. Thanks. bit.ly/4a7l1TR

Weather unfollowed is a danger to all Americans. NOAA faces proposed budget reductions of about $2 billion, and one proposal would eliminate NOAA's Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research entirely, shutting down all research laboratories across the country.

If you never read the book or saw the movie, you missed one of the greatest Pulitzer Prize winning sagas ever written. To dishonor Alex Haley like this is disgraceful.

I was interviewed by Pitt’s University Times about my new book Coverage Denied: How Health Insurers Drive Inequality in the United States (a.co/d/0fJS2Dc3). Give it a read! www.utimes.pitt.edu/news/public-...

After FIVE MONTHS on the job, Zohran Mamdani has delivered a BALANCED BUDGET for NYC, without cutting services or raising overall property taxes. HE DID THAT!! He cleared a 12 BILLION dollar gap by managing spending, getting a bigger slice from the state and closing loopholes. He did it while

BURGUM: When the sun goes down, solar produces zero electricity HUFFMAN: I want to enter into the record this amazing new technology that apparently the secretary is unaware of -- it's a battery

Residents in Fayette County, Georgia noticed their water pressure was unusually low. Turns out that a data center 20 miles away had been drawing 30 million gallons of water in secret through connections the county didn't know existed. Is it any wonder why so many are opposed to data centers?

The one who stays is the HERO.. .

SCOTUS, which ordered Alabama to create a second Black opportunity district just 3 years ago, has lifted that order a week before the primary. The Purcell principle says courts shouldn't permit chaos too close to an election—it's now an open question whether there will even be a primary on schedule.

🚨BREAKING: The U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) has allowed Alabama to select a different map for this year’s congressional elections in a stunning, last-minute move to interfere with another state primary election that has already begun. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Historian of abolition here, history tells us how we got here, to put it succinctly “John Brown was hanged for treason and Robert E. Lee was not.”

important thing to note here is dr oz cites a current american replacement rate of 1.5, which is not true. the american replacement level in 2025 was 1.79. interestingly, the white replacement rate is in fact at 1.5 though

Did you know every MAGA influencer is in a group chat with people close to the administration where they’re regularly given scripts? They also have a website to sign up for influence campaigns that they never disclose. They’re making bank off of lying to you.

"The best any economist can do right now is get the order of magnitude right, and my math suggests the Iran war will cost hundreds of billions of dollars, and very possibly trillions. "War is hell. And hell comes with a hefty price tag."

The U.S. has spent billions to lose a war that enriches its oligarchs, impoverishes the citizenry, sabotages its alliances, and strengthens its enemies. Empires have risen and failed before, but to my knowledge no state has ever chosen to kill its own power. snyder.substack.com/p/on-superpo...

Always found this to be inspirational. 🦋🦋🇺🇦🇺🇦📎📎⚓️⚓️

So yesterday, the president's allies unveiled a 22-foot-tall golden statue of him that they prayed around, and then the president confused Iran and Iraq, seemed clueless about his FDA commissioner getting fired, and called a reporter a bitch? Cool. Cool cool cool.

My latest @nytimes.com oped shows that the White House is dramatically understating the cost of the war in Iran. By my calculations—and I show my work—this war will cost the typical American family thousands, and it could cost them tens of thousands. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/05/08/o...

SCOTUS Voting Rights Act opinion based on faulty data. Kevin Morris, a researcher at the Brennan Center for Justice: “In zero out of the last three presidential elections, did Black turnout come anywhere close to parity.Alito’s claim is simply not factual.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Carl warned us

Total shocker. Alito’s argument for why black people don’t need voting rights protections is based on fraudulent statistics.

Babies who don’t get the vitamin K shot are 81 times more likely to develop severe bleeding. In many cases, oxygen can’t reach their brains and blood pools around their skulls. Yet driven by misinformation, more parents are refusing the injection.

And where is the outrage from mainstream media outlets over this? Crickets. 🦗

😕🇺🇸 Yeah @marenmorris.bsky.social gets it

😕🇺🇸 a rigged system

"It's no big deal that your loved ones died of COVID. In fact, if you think about it, it was sort of their fault that they died."

Based on this Virginia ruling, the Tennessee and Florida maps should both also be shot down. If not, Virginia should just pull a Tennessee and change the rules to ram it though the legislature. 🤷‍♂️

Most serious people already acknowledged that Iran could withstand a blockade for longer than we would be willing to maintain one. Anyone who thought this blockade was a good idea should be fired immediately due to lack of basic analytical ability.

Katie Phang and Epstein survivor Danielle Bensky visit a new exhibition space in Tribeca where the Epstein files are bound in 3,237 physical volumes. “To see the person who scheduled me, who is still not behind bars—her name is here.”

Matching hoods should go over the Supreme Court and Congress too. The FBI building, State Department, IRS, Treasury, …
