Thank you to all farmers globally...

This country has given my family and me extraordinary opportunities. Practicing law is a privilege. Being able to communicate with you is an honor. I owe it to the country, the rule of law and all of you to do my part in the fight for democracy. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

National Guard troops don't sign up to be used as political pawns. They sign up to serve their country, not needlessly deploy to American cities to pick up garbage. These two soldiers should be alive right now and at home with their families for Thanksgiving. I'm furious.

There is a reason why Witkoff did not want any officials with the State Dept or anyone else present during his many meetings w/Putin - he didn’t want witnesses to his treasonous behavior. Highly unusual, but makes perfect sense when you consider that he only cared about Russia.

Gotta be @harvardkennedy.bsky.social Institute of Politics which has turned into a right wing free-for-all. Harvard should strip Kennedy from the name because it's just a slap in the face to a president devoted to public service and American democracy.

If the state of Delaware prohibited companies incorporated there from spending on elections in any way, Citizens United would be dead in the water. Delaware incorporates more companies than any other state. It’s a blue state. Let’s get cracking on moving Delaware lawmakers on this!

Evidence in forthcoming trials if EVERYONE votes and votes for democracy.

Sidewalk shopping score! A new puzzle treat feeder for the cats that even goat-in-a-cat-suit Grandjany hasn't yet mastered, and SIX stacking shoebox containers for my entry.

Unbelievable. Very few things piss me off more than anti-vax morons killing their children.

Last month, we sued the Trump Admin for attempting to cut off funding to support survivors of domestic abuse & violent crimes in the name of their cruel immigration policies. Now, faced with our lawsuit, the DOJ is officially dropping the restrictions. Supporting survivors shouldn't be conditional.

“Working for national parks has always meant a secure, reliable paycheck. Our park rangers deserve better than this.” - Kristen Brengel, Senior Vice President of Government Affairs, NPCA https://nyti.ms/4ijn75e

Trump has been firing those who disagree with him, but here’s the thing: He can’t fire us. He can try to intimidate all he wants, but I’m not going to be bullied.

Three NYers. Mamdani is dressed identically to FDR and has an expression of calm authority. His Mona Lisa smile allows the viewer to join him in thinking the traitorous occupant of the White House is declining and failing & he'll be taking on FDR's mantle and social agenda. #NewNewDeal

There are times when the total isolation I endure is unbearable. Now is such a time.

Profs. Erwin Chemerinsky and Lisa Tucker (@weholdtruths.bsky.social) on the role of Justice Jackson's and Sotomayor's dissents on the Court: "Our democracy is in danger as never before in American history. But will their warnings be heeded?"

Being in the US illegally is a civil offence It’s not a felony. It’s not a criminal offence So why are so many people being violently rounded up & thrown in camps? Racism & fascism The DOJ admitted that only 2.5% of people arrested in Chicago raids had criminal records Which means 97.5% did NOT

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

We wanted to express our gratitude to the brave, patriotic people who are video-taping and posting the disgusting crimes that Trump's masked goons commit every day on American streets.

So now what? Nothing? He just gets to OPENLY DEFY TWO COURT ORDERS without any consequences?

Chris Murphy: "The fact of the matter is if you don't put constraints on Donald Trump's illegality, this democracy isn't going to be here next November. It isn't going to be here in 2028. So Democrats, yes, have to draw firm moral lines in the sand right now."

Might as well wave a big red sign that reads PRIMARY ME

11695 I’m talking to you! We’ve received over 50K resumes, from every single zip code in NYC… except for one. Apply today and help us build a City Hall for everyone.

Raccoons are showing early signs of domestication. Urban raccoons are evolving a short snout, a telltale feature of pets & other domesticated animals, but scientists believe this is just a ploy to get closer to our trash. This is Roy. We feed him but aren't falling for his bullshit act.

Priorities.

You know, everyone, the only power our disgraced and disgraceful president really wants is the voluntary obedience of cowards & grifters. If people don’t do his illegal & insane demands, he falls apart. Courage. Use it.

Fam, not to worry… You too can decorate your home like the White House, and it’s just a click away.

ICE isn’t arresting anyone “Arrest” implies due process under fair rule of law They are abducting our neighbors Words matter

If only the Orange King was the backbone of the right wing movement. He’s just a front man. The real danger is behind him, obscured from view. ONE of the biggest problems we have is the Supreme Corruption who broke the Constitution to allow him on the ballot. They have lifetime appointments.

Important thread about unlawful military orders and actions and their consequences

One third of the country supported the January 6 2021 attempted take over the government & are the same ones who voted him back in. They are traitors in my book.

Maxwell played a central role in Epstein’s operation So why was she moved to a minimum-security facility with special treatment? New emails show she misled Todd Blanch about Trump’s time in Epstein’s house This is corruption at the highest levels I explained on @theweekendmsnow.bsky.social👇 - TN

As U.S. citizens are increasingly being swept up in ICE arrests, fascism expert Jason Stanley says it’s “a way to normalize the targeting of everybody” and scare Black and brown Americans away from public life. #Velshi

Yes, sadly it is real.

I hope it was his brain ...

Democracy Docket vs. Washington Post. Support fearless, pro-democracy media. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

The president of the most powerful nation on Earth is so terrified of the tales that an imprisoned sex trafficker can tell that he plies her with a comfort puppy and custom meals and is holding out the prospect of a pardon. 77 million people voted for this.

Fair play to The Guardian who got in touch to pay me for an article from last year when the payment was rejected after I changed banks - not sure how many other publishers would chase to pay someone. It was only a small contribution and fee but I really appreciate it.

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

Canada also has some of the same problems the US has re: data center water usage and communicable disease prevention. These are solvable problems with education, conservation and civic responsibility.
