Today, Senator Kaine and I will force the Senate to vote on the administration’s decision to blow up ships in the Caribbean. If a president can unilaterally put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.

i desperately want everyone involved in the destruction of USAID to have to, st the very least, answer to the american people for the suffering and misery they have caused apnews.com/article/myan...

Remember, it was the Washington Post who gave Bondi a thumbs up to be confirmed. Democracy Docket made clear from day one that she was an election denying sycophant. No surprise at their coverage of today. Support independent, pro-democracy media today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Trump prove your innocence! Release the Files!

GOP policies are awful that is why this is happening they want power! Taking it is the only way they keep it! They don’t care about Americans and there lives they care about power!

I refuse to let hopelessness prevail. This may just be one essay, by a lawyer few have heard of, in a newsletter read by a fraction of the public. But I will not stay silent. Will you? www.democracydocket.com/opinion/i-re...

I posted this one week after the election in 2024. Holds up.

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s. This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

Truth be told

Don't comply in advance. We are watching people in fear trying to avoid pain by censoring themselves and changing their behavior before being compelled to. Following rules of a group is pro-social behavior that is dangerous now. How can you resist this urge as a law-abiding citizen? A quick 🧵

NEW: For the last several months, I have written and spoken regularly about the rise of authoritarianism in the United States. This is not something I ever envisioned for myself — and it is certainly not something my ancestors envisioned for their great grandchildren.

Boo! 👻 Hi, I'm Monica, a human being that probably(mostly unlikely), but sometimes, will put up posts that you don't agree with. Omfg! Crazy shit! 😲 Anyway, check your scroll the fuck on by button, apparently, some aren't working today 😱. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. -M

Mitch "Pause Here" McConnell Needs to Retire and Do the Same Things he does in the Senate at HOME!

There are protests & rallies, virtual & in person, everyday. If there is not one near you, start one. To everyone who says “but I’m all by myself” or “I can’t find anyone else”…..

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

"True individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.” —FDR, 1944

I’m glad Van Jones apologized for his sick joking about dead kids in Gaza. But the problem goes deeper: he spread Netanyahu propaganda that the mass killings of civilians in Gaza—including 20K+ kids—is Iranian fake news. It’s not the students and young people who are fooled. It’s Van Jones.

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE: This statement is a clear example of what is known as “State Terrorism”: When the dictatorship will order all instruments of its state security & intelligence apparatus against its own citizens to terrorize the population.

"How can we help?" That's one of the first things you see on Jon Ossoff's website. He and his staff are there to help you navigate federal red tape. When he's on the Senate floor, he's fighting for policies that will help Georgians. Let's get him re-elected. Re-Elect Jon Ossof U.S. Senate, Georgia

“There’s a baby!” Guns drawn. Windows smashed. With a 1 month old in the car. (They did this as he was coming home from an immigration court appointment— which is illegal in Colorado: coloradosun.com/2025/10/01/i...)

Democracy Docket has a reporter in the courtroom covering the Texas redistricting hearing every single day. Meanwhile, the big legacy media is nowhere to be found. At stake are 5 congressional seats. If this matters more than both sides journalism, become a DD subscriber today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0
