The team at Democracy Docket has built something really important for these times. To showcase it, the team launched a new trailer. I hope you watch, share and enjoy.

Polls are open until 7 PM!

🧵1/ The current chaos in politics and media isn’t accidental. Several influential tech and political figures openly talk about disrupting institutions, weakening trust in government, and replacing democratic systems with more centralized “CEO-style” power structures.

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

I think we should all be sharing these new photos of the suspect in the Nancy Guthrie case, Savannah Guthrie’s mom. This video has important commentary. Maybe someone will recognize a clue and report it.

Fetterman, you're done. We the people of PA didn't elect you to be the turncoat that you proved yourself to be today.

Unlocked NYT article, pls share. "The judge then ordered Bovino, who took the stand in his usual green fatigues and Border Patrol insignia, to appear at the federal courthouse at the end of every weekday to personally provide her with a report on the day’s arrests and incidents." shorturl.at/Cx7Al

Tim Walz: "People are gonna be lined up out here to get food, and we're talking about a damn ballroom. Don't lose the plot."

A short explanation of p-hacking and why it absolutely makes sense to ask HHS to release the study methods of their autism report in advance.

The dam has burst

Republicans are not just gutting Medicaid. They are gutting the whole f*cking marketplace. If you're a 60 yr old couple & make 80k/year, insurance premiums are about to go up 400% and cost 26k more. Millions and millions of people are about to no longer have access to healthcare.

My quote of the day My message to all the activists is to just keep going, and I know it really may seem impossible and hopeless sometimes - it always does - so you just have to keep going because if you try hard enough and long enough you will make a difference. Greta Thunburg

I'm Dr. Annie Andrews. I’m a pediatrician, not a politician. But either way I know how to handle people who are full of sh*t. Today I am announcing my campaign for US Senate to replace Lindsey Graham. Share this if you're with me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8wM...

"Within minutes after DOGE accessed the NLRB's systems, someone with an IP address in Russia started trying to log in ... Whoever was attempting to log in was using one of the newly created DOGE accounts — and the person had the correct username and password"

You have to see this. PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

The point isn't whether Signal is "secure enough" or not. These folks KNEW not to be on it, & did it anyway to avoid the Presidential Records Act & FOIA. How is Scott Jennings supposed to defend using personal, unsecured phones? 🤣 Any GOP defense is ludicrous, esp given "But her emails" fiasco.

Yes. How?

If you haven't been calling, start.

"Mistakenly" is an odd use of word for "criminally shared" www.reuters.com/world/us/top...

We just wanted to take a moment to thank all our new supporters! Tomorrow, there will be more of us!

When ICE Administrator Homan says "We're not stopping. I don't care what the judges think." - that is exactly the evidence that I would want if I were bringing a contempt motion against him. The contempt is clear. I do not know what the court's response will be - and there are only bad choices.

Per @johnleguizamo.bsky.social: “Medicaid is called by different names in different states! Stay awake America you lose everything you rely on!”

In March 1945, the United States War Department created an 8-page fact sheet about fascism for the Army to distribute to soldiers. Wow. This should be mandatory reading now: archive.org/details/Army...

Gabe and Mjolnir need a new home, can you help? Rowan, their human who has sadly passed, wished for them to remain together. Will help get them relocated to anywhere within the United States; please read on for more details! 🧵 Signal boosts & sharing are appreciated 💙

A special person, full of directness and truth. I hear his words and feel them all.

Professor Christina Pagel is mapping and tracking attacks on science and universities in the US. She’s fantastic! Based in the UK. Have a look at her work here: bsky.app/profile/chri...

once again I have to invoke the specter of Ronald Wilson Reagan, who is in Hell now. under Reagan, the term "government spending" was effectively demonized. fuck you, Reaganite ghouls! spending money, on its people and their needs, is the function of government! public works are good! say so!

Very heartening to see foreign officials mocking him for being a fucking clown. Feels like the garlic to his vampire

I think every democrat in congress should adopt a republican district and go show up and hold town halls. Show them that Dems are going to be there for constituents and have the guts to hear from the angry ones.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

A federal judge in San Francisco on Thursday found that the mass firings of probationary employees were likely unlawful, granting temporary relief to a coalition of labor unions and organizations that has sued to stop the Trump administration’s move. apnews.com/article/trum...
