I think about this a lot.

Progressive, Brad Lander, favored over Zionist, Dan Goldman, for House of Representatives. Why? Gaza. $70 billion needed to rebuild Gaza. This should be paid by Israel and the U.S. who destroyed almost every building in Gaza and killed tens of thousands of Palestinians there.

An AP investigation today details that ICE detainees are dying by suicide at an 'alarming' rate. When does this antihumanitarian nightmare end? This is utterly unacceptable in a sane & civil democracy. When are the courts going to end this madness. At least pause it and investigate this horror show.

An 11 yr old boy was shot while playing on a playground in West Baltimore in a drive by shooting. Shooter's target was someone else. Boy is in serious condition. wbaltv.com/article/chil...

Lincoln chose “malice toward none.” Mandela chose reconciliation over revenge. Trump promised “I am your retribution.” That contrast tells you almost everything about leadership and what public office is supposed to be for. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

It’s a shame that it’s not getting more attention just who Don Jr’s new wife is. In the late 1990s, her father served as Epstein’s private banker and notoriously wrote a glowing character reference letter for him.

this is what they would have looked like, though

A study in contrasts.

Really feeling the centre cannot hold so it’s time again for this gem

Now here's a music festival to support! Dave Matthews Band just posted this on their socials. 🎶🤘🎶

I've been warning about this moment for two decades over at Techdirt The U.S. is too corrupt to regulate data brokers (and their exploitation and sale of location data) and the check has come due

When we have a real president again, he or she will have to waste inordinate amounts of time cleaning up the terrible mess created by this awful mistake of a human who never should have been allowed near the levers of power.

Two contrasting visions of America were on display yesterday in Washington. At noon, Donald Trump and his Cabinet performed in the White House. Last night, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band performed at Nationals Park. Brucde Springsteen's America > Donald Trump's America.

There is not a grand jury in America that will indict E. Jean Carroll. We see you.

Teachers in Seattle, for that matter!

The WH is getting 🗑️ ier by the hour. Credit cartoon @dennisgoris.bsky.social Let’s take our house back! November is coming! #VoteBlue

DC is under occupation! Troops from multiple agencies won't leave. We have nasty ICE activity like a lot of places, a constant National Guard presence, even agencies like the US Marshalls have come to get a piece. So as you think of this city, think of a dangerously militarized place fighting that.

MacFarlane: A whopper of a court filing just now from about three dozen retired former federal judges asking a court to stop this slush fund from proceeding and calling into question whether Trump and his own Department of Justice and IRS colluded to deceive the court

You guys are doing great. Totally keeping Trump’s persistent health concerns out of the media! Keep it up. Nobody is on to you.

👀👀👀👀

Wanna know a secret? MAGA is hemorrhaging voters. The paid shills are trying to keep sanewashing this, but there’s a reason Trump’s primary performance doesn’t translate to general elections: His base is shrinking, and voters are tired of the bullshit.

Perhaps if he'd tried the Rockets, Mavericks or Spurs….

This is what Texas needs 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

I would like to report a murder.

"This was...a deliberate choice to penalize a journalist for refusing to sanitize factually accurate reporting, and it sends a chilling message to the entire newsroom....Today, CBS management is...choosing access journalism over accountability and protecting power rather than scrutinizing it."

NY Knick fans: Congratulations on the Knicks reaching the NBA Finals. The asshole squatting in the WH plans to attend a Finals game. Please give him the welcome only NY fans can give him.

It’s embarrassing, and honestly it’s starting to look like Idiocracy could see the future.

BREAKING: Ethics complaint just filed against Pam Bondi — & it's damning She ran DOJ like a weapon — & now 100+ scholars, retired judges & retired FL Supreme Court Chief Justice Peggy Quince — joined by @democracydefendersfund.org @ldadorg.bsky.social & LFRL — are holding her accountable -TN

NEWS The Justice Department has launched a criminal investigation into E. Jean Carroll, the former magazine columnist who accused President Donald Trump of sexual assault. First reported by CNN and confirmed by the New York Times. Full Story: cnn.it/4wUqxSY

I can’t believe I have to say this: The President should not financially benefit from the very government he controls. I’ve got a bill to stop Trump’s corruption.

Good Grief, this is Pathetic….

What a disgrace. Says it all, really. 😕🇺🇸

Hassett: "The thing I've seen is that while people have been spending more money at gas stations, they've been spending more money on everything else, which means they're still very very optimistic about the state of the economy." So that's how we describe inflation now, huh?

What is a PATRIOT? This is a patriot to me.

Paxton only returned the stolen pen after the courthouse security cameras showed he was the one who took it.

The THOUGHT of me having to drive to campus to get a brand new ID in order to get access to an ID number at a school that I will no longer be working at after June 15 in order to gain access to be able to change my password is pissing me the fuck off. There’s no wheel for Jesus to take.

paxton is favored just because of the state's partisan lean but it is wild to me that this guy has made it this far in state politics. he has no juice! none! zilch!

FYI ! Thanks, Andrea.......

Many of you are asking how you can help me. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket for free and share its content with everyone you know. Thanks. bit.ly/4a7l1TR
