Yes!!!!!

I've had a good run as a faculty, but now planning to stink it up for as long as it takes to get one of these multi-million dollar buyouts.

Quick pizza for dinner (with a big salad) after binging two great episode of P1uribus on Apple TV+. What a great program!!

This is infuriating on so many levels, but partly because it ignores Congressional intent to penalize immigrants who followed the rules. And partly because these are people who have done nothing wrong beyond trying to negotiate a broken system. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/u...

Up waaaaay too early but that’s what bakers do. Plain #sourdough, testing a recipe by Maurizio Leo of The Perfect Loaf … the one in the right went an extra 5 minutes after being uncovered.

Incredibly depressing if the lesson of the US is preemptive institutional surrender

ACCURATE.

I'm a liberal now because I … {checks notes} … oppose cold-blooded murder www.mrctv.org/videos/after...

Being rejected is oppression to those who intend to be oppressors.

It’s time to involve the ICC and have Jack Smith assigned as Special Prosecutor so that Pete #Hagueseth gets what’s comin’ to him.

This is just a journalist version of the TPUSA Dangerous Professor Watchlist --which I am on.

So glad to see that this has happened. If you’ve not read Teri’s work on extremism and intolerance – or even if you read it as the original blog post – this is a resource worth having and reading and dipping into over and over again.

Words matter.

Marco Rubio knew the truth 9 years ago, but he sold his soul for power. Yet he was correct: He will one day have to explain his support for Trump, and this is not going to end well.

I can't wait until this chest-beating imbecile is brought up on murder charges.

Turns out it’s less a war on drugs and more of a Wrestlemania on drugs. No one is actually fighting drug trafficking.

Irony isn’t dead. She packed her bags and left for anywhere she can get back to work.

So, Pete #Hagueseth, if I take your complaint at face value, I have one question for you: WHY did your boss just pardon a convicted narco-terrorist?!? (see embedded thread by Joaquin Castro) Oh, and by the way: You protest too much. bsky.app/profile/joaq...

“Mark my words: It may take some time, but Americans will be prosecuted for this, either as a war crime or outright murder.”

“The UCMJ is built on the understanding that you must obey lawful orders – but you also *must* refuse orders that are clearly unlawful. Don’t want a dishonorable discharge? Don’t carry out an order you know is illegal. […] Don’t follow an order that violates law or constitution.”

The last sentence is delightfully prophetic in its specific inclusiveness of Trump and his entire cabinet.

Donald Trump hates me, and the feeling is mutual. I believe he is a criminal and an authoritarian who is trying to destroy our democracy and the rule of law. I spend a considerable amount of my time fighting against him and his enablers in court and in public discourse.

Here’s the question republicans in leadership positions, republicans who would like their party to continue after Trump: how strong is the maga movement if 1/ y’all are fighting, threatening for even *one more House seat in Indiana*?, 2/ threats “Trump 2028”, as if no one else can keep it going?

But, they’ll always make room for their favorite insurrectionists.

Cranky old bastard must not have had his post-prandial nap and nappy change.

The sad thing is there are people out there who buy his revisionist ‘history’.

Trump supporters are always hysterical with fear of foreigners coming to this land and taking everything from the people already here, something they are busy celebrating today. Happy Thanksgiving, progeny of immigrants.

Everyone is looking for someone to blame for the DC National Guard shooting. Instead of that wasted energy, we should be asking the question nobody is asking, how did the shooter get his guns? What can we do as a country to make gun violence less likely?

Happy Trials to YOU … youtu.be/vwEQ33B0hoo?...

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...

"The point of this essay is that the rest of us have to anticipate this chain of events and recognize the sad probability of the attack itself and the absolute predictability of this administration’s response." (2/2)

You just gave yourself *months* of vacation, you puritanical, lying pixie.

😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 … 🙄

I had the pleasure of joining Terry Gross for @nprfreshair.bsky.social's Fresh Air, just in time for your Thanksgiving travel listening. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Such classic gaslighting it's an instructive moment. The question is not whether generic is better or worse, it's that a list with more expensive brand names is not the same as a list with cheaper generics. Perverting that truth into an attack on those calling it out is Manipulation 101.

Yay Deep State.

I was just thinking about contributing to the "charity" Feeding America. Until I discovered that the salary for its CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, was approximately $949,866 in 2024, with her total compensation being $1,113,502. Apparently, feeding America isn't her top priority.

Just out of the oven and in time for dinner tonight … #sourdough #TeamRhetoricBakes (still). Loaf is 50:50 home milled hard white whole wheat and organic bread flour. We had some ‘Viking gruel’ left over from breakfast and worked that into the dough, as well.

"My mentor always tells me, 'Kim, dogs don’t bark at parked cars." They’re coming after critical race theory, 1619, intersectionality because these ideas mobilized people. They gave them the language to actually articulate what they were seeing with their own eyes," says Kimberlé Crenshaw.

One of my favorite Old Twitter exchanges: Elon Musk: "Don't believe what you're told, believe what you see." Reply: "This is so true. I kept being told you're a genius but whenever I see your tweets you usually sound like a complete idiot."

Disturbing. Incidentally @rutgerbregman.com has written some interesting books that you might want to read. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/n...

“Employees Rally Around [the University of Pennsylvania’s] Refusal to Disclose Jewish Faculty, Student Names *** The Trump administration asked the university to hand over personal information for the members of Jewish clubs & organizations as well as the Jewish Studies department.” 11/25/25 … 1/

Trump is “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” Let’s all put Rutger Bregman’s words out there, seeing as how the BBC will not … on advice of counsel. bsky.app/profile/rutg...

The BBC joins a long list of media companies now obeying in advance. I can't say I'm surprised or at this point even angry. It is a structural flaw in legacy media All I can do is promise that Democracy Docket will never bow down or bend a knee. It will remain unapologetically pro-democracy.

The only ‘solutions’ he is president of are those being injected into him to keep him looking like a human being. And those – like his ‘solution’ to the Ukraine ‘problem’ – are not working particularly well.

What a Bad.Ass.

Mark Kelly: "My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head. Six people killed around her, a horrific thing. She spent six months in the hospital. We know what political violence is and we know what causes it too, The statements that Donald Trump made incites others."
