NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

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...

"We are proud of our courageous clients—who represent communities across the nation—for going to court to stop the administration’s unlawful actions." Full statement from our President & CEO Skye Perryman on the rescission of OMB's funding freeze memo: democracyforward.org/updates/brea...

We live in a post-shame world.

When I see these new rants and visuals from the new "real Mark" Zuckerberg I keep thinking it's a kind of Cialis Masculinism, a mostly inorganic and over-the-top performative masculinity, and one that will probably lead yr company to have an erection lasting more than 4 hrs and seek medical attn.

Today is January 6th and no one is watching the Capitol be plundered, feces being smeared on the walls, and police officers being stabbed with American flags. Why? Because one side believes in democracy no matter what, and the other side only believes in it only when they win.

After extensive review, France has established very positive gender affirming care guidelines, and they’ve rejected the highly politicized Cass Report as simply false. www.lgbtqnation.com/2024/12/new-...

Your new president, America.

U.S. House breakdown, July 2024 🟥 221 R 🟦 214 D U.S. House breakdown, January 2025* 🟥 220 R 🟦 215 D *After what media and MAGAs have called a huge, historic, mandate-establishing Trump victory in November 2024. 🤔 Explain it like I'm 7

"Repeat after me: there was no 'landslide'. There was no 'blowout'. There was no 'sweeping' mandate given to Trump by the electorate. The numbers don’t lie." My new Guardian op-ed on the new GOP election lie - and why it's important to rebut it! I brought (lots of) receipts:

Trump: I’m going to pardon the Jan 6th inmates I sent to beat our police officers and hang my VP because I refused to leave office peacefully. Biden: Before I leave office peacefully, I’m going to pardon my only living son. The press: Biden just handed Trump a playbook for abusing the pardon!!!

Raw unvarnished truth here.

So, I read smart people. There is a playbook for this next chapter. I believe we can do this. It won’t be easy, but the map is there. Featuring resources & wisdom from Dr. Erica Cheoweth, @prisonculture.bsky.social @mskellymhayes.bsky.social, @jaclynf.bsky.social & more.

“It will be increasingly critical for American Jews to say unequivocally that we will not be made safer by the erosion of American democracy through Project Esther, or any related efforts that wear away at constitutional rights in the name of our community’s safety.” forward.com/opinion/6760...

The Dems willing to betray the communities that got them elected are taking big $$ from AIPAC, of course. Folks like Lucy McBath, Ritchie Torres, Grace Meng and others are puppets pd to condone genocide and criminalize humanitarians. 2 years folks - we can’t wait to organize 4 ur primary opponents!!

He’s absolutely right.

I am finding it quite unbearable to watch Sarah McBride bear the grotesque attack of her colleagues with so much grace. I know it is what we have been taught to expect of trailblazers, but I am increasingly struggling to accept this.

We are all witnessing anticipatory obedience in real time.

I wish I cared about anything as much as Nancy Mace cares about where people pee.

You know it's real when the aliens are doing the show at a BAR. lmao!!!

I wake up as always, every day after November 5th, frankly stunned at the short sightedness of American voters. Most of them have no idea what they’ve wrought. My guess is only a small percentage of Americans are actual, knowing fascists. Most just don’t know basic things about government.

49.97% and dropping
