Priztker: if federal agents fired upon journalists and protesters, when unprovoked, what would we call it?  I don't think we'd have any trouble calling it what it is. Authoritarianism.  So let's not pretend it's something else when it happens in our American cities.

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

Jimmy Kimmel isn't returning to the airwaves because of "thoughtful conversations" with Disney executives. He's back because consumers sent Disney a clear message: selling out our fundamental rights is not an acceptable cost of doing business.

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

No one could have done a better job running for president in just 2½ months than VP Kamala Harris. No one. See what she was up against straight out of the gate? Friends and frenemies…

Kamala Harris on Mamdani: Look, as far as I'm concerned, he's the democratic nominee and he should be supported.

It's weird how Tylenol caused autism (first diagnosed in 1943) before it was even invented (1955). What a clever drug.

Song For a Hard-Hit People: A Memoir of Antiracist Solidarity From a Coal Miner’s Daughter will be released on April 21st 2026 from @haymarketbooks.org. In the midst of hateful divisive rhetoric, violent repression, and grifters writing elegies, let this one be a song. ❤️‍🔥 Pre-orders are open!

Kamala Harris: He had no plan for actually bringing down costs and prices for the American people. He had very few plans for what he would actually do that was about the American people, and not his vengeance on his enemies.

This ought to be engraved somewhere.

Look, it’s Heroin and Adderall ganging up on Tylenol.

Kamala Harris: "It feels chaotic, but what I would offer you is what we are witnessing is the swift implementation of a plan that was decades in the making. Project 2025 didn't just drop out of thin air. That's a product of decades of work. Federalist Society, Heritage Foundation ... "

The news of the week makes it sadly clear that the legacy media is fully capitulating. I started Democracy Docket in 2020 to be fearlessly independent and pro-democracy. It will never bow down. It will never give in. It will never compromise Sign up now to support its work! hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

It was very telling that for three days, none of the major TV anchors would have me on air one-on-one to talk about my firing from the Washington Post over Charlie Kirk. The first offers were from Black media, independent media, Substackers, and podcasters.

This is the first rodeo for a lot of people currently under threat for having dared to criticize Charlie Kirk, even while condemning the violence against him. Here’s some advice for trying to surviving it from someone who’s been here before.

Kicked out of Columbia University, now Washington Post. All for writing and speaking about race and injustice. The best way to support my work is to join @resistanceschool.bsky.social and take my class on Race, Media and International Affairs 101! www.resistancesummerschool.com/fall-2025-re...

I saw someone refer to Cracker Barrel as "Honky Bucket" and I have not been the same since

Never before in our history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many of us, while simultaneously preventing others — Congress, the courts, the American people — from having a say or even knowing what he’s going to do next. This is what dictatorship looks like.

The United States, just months before its 250th birthday as the world’s leading democracy, has tipped over the edge into authoritarianism and fascism.

The same Marc Andreessen who helped fund the theft of people’s savings. Just great. www.cnbc.com/2024/11/22/s...

Like w/many billionaires watch what they do not what they say. Marc &wife seem philanthropic but in 2022, the couple advocated against the construction of 131 multifamily housing units in their rich town, Atherton CA.

People need to wake TF up. This Yarvin dude has been braying for a return to slavery and weird “fiefdoms” that rich white tech men control. Yarvin is an idiot, but he’s also dangerous.

We won't have any democracy anywhere if we play by the oligarchs' rules.

At around the 22-25 minute marks, Yarvin, JD Vance’s court philosopher, proposes a system where black people would be made wards of religious ministers, who could force them to work as indentured servants and require them to submit to 24/7 “air-tag” monitoring.

one that annoys me is that what these people think is cutting edge new political thinking is just warmed over slaveholder ideology

In 2020, when I told people that I was building a pro-democracy media outlet, people thought I was kidding. When I told them that the fight for democracy was the fight of our time, they thought I was being overly dramatic. Well...here we are. Subscribe to Democracy Docket now. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

Chinese artist Leng Jun,I have never seen anything like it. Extraordinary!!!

Japan has just opened its first osmotic power plant 🌊⚡ This works by mixing fresh & salt water across a membrane, creating pressure that drives a turbine to make electricity. This site will generate 880,000 kWh a year...while helping run a desalination plant providing fresh water to the city 👏

I don’t need a self driving car. I need a vehicle that runs between major areas and can transport large numbers of people at once to reduce environmental impact…wait it’s a train. I’m describing trains. Build more goddamned TRAINS, America.

Moore: "The thing that gets me most about this is how deeply disrespectful this is to members of the National Guard who signed up for this job as I did when I deployed overseas & led paratroopers in combat where we signed up w/the expectation the commander in chief was actually taking it seriously"

I heard that the plaque from Alzheimer’s is an inflamatory response to a virus and that the shingles vaccine greatly reduces the chances of getting the disease. Don’t know if that’s true, but the vaccine is effective against shingles so I’m gonna get it anyway.

trump very clearly sees any attempt to hold a criminal head of state accountable as a threat to his own standing

A “we were wrong” correction would be nice.

Tim Walz: "I always get in trouble for it and I'll continue to say it, I don't think we do any favors when we don't name it -- these are fascist policies."
