Do something and we did

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has opened a new satellite office near College Park in Atlanta to expand administrative capacity. This does not make our communities safer. It deepens fear, escalates harm and targets Black, Brown and immigrant communities across the Deep South and beyond.

Hey folks: Some thoughts about today's murder in Minneapolis. www.youtube.com/live/6YNfqir...

And Jan 6 2.0

If you want proof that Trump is going to try to rig the elections, here it is: In a letter to Gov. Tim Walz Saturday, Bondi claimed that Walz could “restore the rule of law” by complying with a list of demands, including giving the Department of Justice (DOJ) the state’s voter registration records.

Extortion! Exactly!

NEW EPISODE: One year into Donald Trump’s second term, I discuss the collapse of democratic guardrails as big law firms, legacy media, corporate elites, and government institutions capitulate, collaborate, or stay silent while democracy is under sustained attack. Watch and share.

Trump, ICE and white supremacists don't have the numbers. That makes them reckless, violent and more desperate.

Note to the entire world: Stop trying to manage Trump. Stop trying to work with him. He betrays everyone. Always. He is irrational. Erratic. The only way to stop his damage is to stop him, contain him, isolate him, reject him, stand up to him. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Democrats should release some files from the Epstein Estate. They should do it tomorrow.

Trump abandoned his duty to defend the Constitution on January 6. It was a profound betrayal of American democracy. And Republicans, MAGA, and right-wing media have tried to erase one of the most treacherous acts in US history.

New Year’s Eve release should not obscure Jack Smith’s testimony. He collected evidence lawfully, and he believed it would prove Trump’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Over the last 11 months, however, one crisis has been ongoing. I have repeatedly warned that the Republican voter suppression and election-subversion machine continues to grind on. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

The most common question I receive is how everyday citizens can help in the fight for democracy. My advice, take the first step, start with something small and see what works for you. Here are ten things all of us can do. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/10-t...

Hey all, on the big Supreme Court decision in Trump v Illinois, we've done a Substack live with @leahlitman.bsky.social harrylitman.substack.com/p/an-early-c... and I did a long 1-on-1 on Youtube on the huge news of the Supreme Court opinion in Trump v Illinois. www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1qQ...

I cannot emphasize how serious an assault on democracy this is. Any effort by the Trump administration to engage in false claims of fraud or mass voter suppression relies on this as a building block. As importantly, there is no legitimate reason DOJ would want this information.

Pay attention.

This is the most important political, legal and democracy story right now. Yet, it has garnered relatively little coverage from legacy media outlets. The outcome in these cases may decide whether we have free and fair elections in 2026. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/as-...

The Russian army is exhausted too. Russia is taking far higher casualties than Ukraine, and after 3.5 years has barely moved the front line. The idea that Russia is “winning” is simply not supported by the evidence. As I told DW News.

A reminder: Trump 1.0 ordered the Afghanistan withdrawal, and Trump 2.0 granted the shooter asylum this past April. Trump 2.0 also dismantled the joint terrorism task force, and gutted our national security apparatus.

Three things about the Witkoff tapes: 1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia. 2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea. 3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.

A must read from @anandwrites.bsky.social. This line — “The clubby deal-making and moral racketeering of the Epstein class is now the United States’ governing philosophy” — is spot on. How the Elite Behave When No One Is Watching: Inside the Epstein Emails www.nytimes.com/2025/11/23/o...

Jeffrey Epstein survivors released a new video urging Congress to vote to release the Epstein files

Spread this as widely as you can and urge everybody you know to do the same

📽️VIDEO: Trump has tried to keep the Epstein Files hidden — but could his fear of their release be far more influential than we realize? I explain what the released emails reveal and how the shutdown may have been a tool for Trump all along. youtu.be/iVJ21BDzJJs?...
