Pettiest man alive.

At the @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social / @sanders.senate.gov event at Brooklyn College. The two entered to thunderous applause.

Rep. Quigley: It's time to watch what this president is doing. It's instructive in history to remember that, often tyrants are elected democratically at first….

This is what democracy looks like! A people united will never be defeated. We want federal forces out of DC NOW! #WeAreAllDC #FreeDC

(scrolling through job postings for 20 minutes) Maybe this doesn't matter. Maybe nothing matters at all. Maybe the industrial revolution was a mistake

Where do you stand? You can want solutions for the unhoused, you can want safer cities, but you can also be dead set against federalizing them and against military occupation. I stand with DC!

My god…

The Onion News Network truck is currently stationed outside the Broadview ICE Detention facility just outside of Chicago.

When even Rand Paul thinks you’re despicable.

The President of the United States just essentially declared a war on Chicago because — wait for it! — Black and Brown people live here. This is not normal. This is not okay. And we are going to fucking fight back.

The ad campaign criticizing the use of masks by federal agents working in Washington, D.C. has expanded to 115 bus stops, per organizers

Pritzker: When did we become a country where it's okay for the president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything, especially something we don't want? Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?

So Kilmar Abrego Garcia walks free from federal custody. Funny how the system manages to move quickly when it wants to, but grinds to a halt when it’s about justice. The bigger story will be when he turns around and sues the Feds for what they put him through.

Fox 17 Nashville reports that Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been released from criminal detention in Tennessee and is on his way home to Maryland. “Today, Kilmar Abrego Garcia is free,” his attorney, @sean-hecker.bsky.social, said in a statement. fox17.com/news/local/k...

Everyone is a transhumanist when they're getting a life saving organ transplant, and everybody is a biocosmist in the ER.

I expect major movement in Texas tomorrow. No one is covering the GOP's redistricting scheme with as much context and analysis as Democracy Docket. Its team of 20 works around the clock to provide you pro-democracy news and information. Support their work by signing up today. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

Okay I guess I can see why this new logo is controversial

D.C. has more residents than two U.S. states. They pay more per capita in federal taxes than any other state. But they don’t get a serious seat at the table to decide how they’re governed. D.C. statehood now.

Germany gets 60% of its power from renewables and is shutting down its coal plants. No blackouts. No high bills. Every right wing lie about renewables has been proven false.

I’ve seen so many people spreading the misinformation that PBS is shut down or is shutting down. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting has been shut down and PBS has been defunded. HOWEVER!!! PBS still exists. It is more important now than ever that you donate to PBS if you can.

SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov on fascism in 🇺🇸 : “There is not safety in keeping your head down… People who oppose public policy decisions but are too afraid of retribution from their government to speak their mind should send a chill down all of our spines.”

🚨BREAKING: Hours after Texas passed its new map, my law firm has challenged it in federal court. In addition to violating the VRA, HB 4 violates the 14th Amendment because it unjustifiably considers race and partisanship as part of a voluntary, mid-cycle redistricting. @redistrictfdn.bsky.social

BREAKING: Kilmar Abrego has been RELEASED from prison and is headed home to Maryland to be with his family. Judge Xinis has an order in place requiring a 72 hour notice if ICE decides to detain and deport him to a third country. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Otherwise known as communism.

John Bolton, 12 days ago: “ I think he's already come after me… it is a retribution presidency.”

This is really bad.

This is so important… Sharon has been tracking license plates on cars driven by ICE agents, and she’s finding they don’t match the vehicles. In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tactics—just like we suspected. REMINDER: the DMV is not a federal agency. @governor.ca.gov 🧵

UPDATE: Fox News reports that ICE told Kilmar Abrego Garcia they are going to deport him to Uganda on Monday.

NEW: Oregon and Pennsylvania are the latest to reject the U.S. Department of Justice’s (DOJ) effort to acquire states’ private voter data, according to letters obtained by Democracy Docket. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Virginia Giuffre’s lawyer Sigrid McCawley reacts to the Maxwell transcripts, saying Maxwell “repeatedly and brazenly lied” to the government and is trying to “recreate history.” Full statement

ips_dc NEW: At several U.S. corporations today, it would take over a millennium for the typical worker to make as much as their CEO makes in a year. These outrageous corporate pay gaps are driving inequality across our society, concentrating massive wealth in executives’ hands.

Masked raids are tools of fear, not freedom. Despite what this administration wants you to believe, they are not about “safety.” They are about letting ICE agents hide from accountability while carrying out inhumane acts.

Donald Trump says he is going to deploy the National Guard to Chicago. This is what weak men do to pretend they’re strong. Stay safe, stand with your community, and most importantly, know your rights:

I too have some mild criticisms of JK Rowling I’d like to share.

Outcry grows after multiple trans users were targeted for mild criticisms of the anti-trans billionaire.

Hard not to read this and wonder why the New York Times observed these weird cash payments at Adams events for weeks without reporting on it at all. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/21/n...

Anthony Michael Kreis, said the seemingly “arbitrary” and intrusive nature of the checkpoints in the capital could leave residents feeling aggrieved. “…the way that things are unfolding, people are suspicious — and I think for good reason,” he said. wapo.st/3JrEZOf

Actually I swore an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States with my hand on @bpl.boston.gov’s 1782 edition Aitken Bible—also known as the Bible of the Revolution.

"If violent rhetoric is denounced but never deplatformed, it will only become bolder—& more violent. In RFK Jr.’s America, it will never be safe to practice public health or medicine." The authors call out violence caused directly by Kennedy, Bhattacharya & Prasad. www.statnews.com/2025/08/15/c...

Newsom: I mean, even poor Kid Rock — these guys, they’ve gotten a little precious, haven’t they? The folks at Fox are like, “Oh, this is so unbecoming of a governor. Oh, oh.” And meanwhile, they sit there reading his tweets every single day. Are they really that out of touch?
