Oh, look, it's Tom Suozzi doing the wrong thing. Again. Please, please help me replace him on 6/23. votewelch.com

Take it from @mehdirhasan.bsky.social: @ilhanmn.bsky.social loves America more than Trump. Ilhan has spent her career trying to feed kids and Trump has spent his political career taking away people’s healthcare and gutting our Democracy for his own profit.

"...the assumption that the enforced separation of the two races stamps the colored race with a badge of inferiority. If this be so, it is not by reason of anything found in the act, but solely because the colored race chooses to put that construction upon it…" Plessy 1896

April Barber Scales spent 31 years in prison until she was released after North Carolina’s previous governor created a board to review people sentenced as juveniles. Now, she has a job in behavioral health and is pursuing a master’s in social work.

The House Armed Services Committee votes on the $250 BILLION increase to the Pentagon budget tomorrow. This money could provide Medicaid to 14 MILLION Americans & SNAP to 3.5 MILLION. Congress has the opportunity to NOT throw Americans under the bus for the war machine. Will they do it?

GOOD NEWS! A personalized mRNA vaccine, known as mRNA-4157, has shown promise in keeping melanoma, a deadly skin cancer, from returning. FIVE years later, NEARLY 70% of people in the vaccine group are CANCER-FREE. The vaccine also cut a person’s risk of the cancer metastasizing by NEARLY 60%.

The Hounds and I are headed back to Delaney Hall for the night shift. They are my protectors but we could use all the support we can get. Thanks in advance for any and all monetary help: thelibertyunderground.org/donate

Sen. @schumer.senate.gov marched in NYC with Israeli fascists today.

ABC paid Trump. CBS paid Trump. NBC's parent paid Trump. WaPo, CBS and CNN all pull punches. When Trump sued me, I fought and won. It is that spirit I brought to Democracy Docket. Fearlessly independent, always pro-democracy. Help it grow by subscribing now. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

A family member sent this pic of a full-page ad in Virginia's oldest continually publishing newspaper (The Recorder covers Bath and Highland Counties in western Virginia, the two least populated counties in the state, 76.5% and 71.3% Trump voters in 2024)

New York City, we have no excuse to be bored this summer. The map at Nyc.gov/summer is full of free and affordable stuff to do -- sports, music, arts, movies, video games and more -- in every borough.   The city is your backyard. Get out there and enjoy it.

The Justice Department tried to erase the history of Jan 6. We restored if. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

Poverty is a policy, just ask an economist. The question no one can answer is why? What is the point of inflicted suffering? The only answer I've found is, to retain power. We can feed,cloth and house every one. They don't because it would end their world. Peace ends Poverty. War is robbery.

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

Exactly! Where are these people?

Water this dirty should never be treated like a secret. Texans have the right to speak up when something looks wrong in their community without fearing intimidation or arrest. We need clean water, transparency, and leaders willing to stand with people over the Greedy Few.

Indigenous Grand Canyon National Monument Designation Wins in Appeals Court Arizona Republican-led lawsuit challenging Baaj Nwaavjo I’tah Kukveni monument unanimously dismissed. “This court decision is a huge win for the sacred land and water of the region...” Read in full at our website.

If your argument is “Dems need to run centrists in red areas because progressive policies are only popular in blue areas” (incorrect), then you should be supporting progressives like Christ Rabb running in safe blue districts, unless you’re a hypocrite. Looking *directly* at you, Cory Booker.

Today, we were supposed to vote on a War Powers Resolution to end Trump’s illegal war with Iran. Republican leadership cancelled that vote because they knew we’d win. It’s shameful. Keep up the pressure — and we will pass this when the House comes back.

Imagine being a billionaire in an unequal society where the system has been massively rigged in your favor, watching as ordinary people fall further and further behind and get more and more desperate, and thinking a slightly higher tax rate is the worst possible thing that might ever happen to you.

He’s going to try and steal an election… Again.

The Democratic Party is scared of Mamdani because they’ve been trying to hammer through center right candidates for decades to keep the capitalism status quo but now they’re seeing how popular elected officials can be if they actually fucking work for the people and not corporations! 👍

Alex Haley grew up in Tennessee. He traced his family tree back to his original enslaved, African ancestor, then wrote 'Roots'. He received a Pulitzer Prize for it. Knoxville just banned it 'cause it might make white kids sad.

ProPublica obtained 3,000 pages of emails sent last year by executives asking that their facilities be exempted from Clean Air Act requirements. The White House approved more than 180 requests and is considering more.

So Trump is just taking the money for his ballroom from California’s Medicaid?

Sweden has free healthcare for residents up to 20 years old. After that, doctor visits amount to approximately $128.68–$139.41 US dollars a year

Just in: Full access to the abortion pill mifepristone, including through telemedicine and the mail, will continue for at least three more days, the high court said on Monday.

We have a Republican Party committed to building systematic advantages into the current system to maintain power indefinitely and a Democratic Party that cannot think outside the bounds of the current system even as it is being actively restructured against them.

Doctors say that fluoride helps build strong teeth. A guy who snorts cocaine off toilet seats and takes raccoon penises home for “further study” says it causes autism. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

The Supreme Court's decision to allow states to disenfranchise Black voters by carving out calculated, twisted slivers of real estate that dilutes their votes will go down in history as an American embarrassment, the shame of which has not been seen for decades.

Researchers in Hong Kong developed a nasal spray for rapid stroke intervention. The system uses nanotechnology to deliver neuroprotective drugs directly to the brain and reduce neuronal damage during the emergency stage.

AOC on possibly running for the Senate or President: They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.

The legacy of the Roberts Court will be that of the Supreme Court that undermined the basis of American democracy (or representative republic). The most fundamental element of the US Constitution is that citizens pick their representatives. Under the Roberts Court, politicians pick their voters.

Excited to live in a country where you can mail someone a handgun but not an abortion pill

The 1% bought #Trump & own #Epstein. TY for supporting my YouTube Channel. @ldog562.bsky.social @frankiemillie10.bsky.social @halostarmusic.bsky.social @21sted.bsky.social @bluthrunthru.bsky.social @kidsandpets.bsky.social @smiledaydream.bsky.social youtu.be/umJ3zk8H9wg

Don't forget: my old Yale Law classmate Clarence Thomas refused to recuse from Jan. 6 cases despite his wife's involvement in the plot. And he's taken at least 100 gifts worth over $2 million while serving, including from GOP donor Harlan Crow. He's a disgrace to the Court.

Now, that? Is extremely loathsome, even for him. One of the most disturbing things about the Epstein case is that it revealed the existence (in the real world, not a conspiracy theory!) of a large network of wealthy and powerful individuals who enjoyed raping and abusing children.

A sea of people in red spread out, raising signs and chanting through the streets of downtown Grand Rapids on Tuesday to demand justice and honor victims as they marked Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons Day. From Erick Diaz Veliz

Moving to California felt healing—and almost like entering "a new country," says Soy Nguyen. For the first time, she saw Vietnamese and Asian cultures openly embraced, a stark contrast to Florida. The full story: lataco.com/soy-nguyen-f... By Julianne Le

BREAKING: We filed another emergency lawsuit — this time in federal court — against Louisiana officials for suspending the state's primary election after voting has already begun. Louisiana is disenfranchising voters who have already cast ballots, all in the service of stifling Black voting power.

Yes. Finally. Recall petition filed against Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry. Organizers cite pattern of actions & statements that undermine fair representation, misalign state priorities away from the needs of communities, & emphasize punitive approaches over meaningful solutions. #USDemocracy
