Important to understand that many lies are not meant to be convincing. When a schoolyard bully steals your lunch money, he says "that's mine." The absurdity is the point. It's an assertion of dominance. It is to say "reality is whatever I say it is. You disagree? What are you gonna do about it?"

This week, the Global Sumud Flotilla tried to deliver life-saving aid to Gaza. Instead, 461 people—including New Yorkers—have been detained by the Israeli military. They must be freed at once. And the deliberate starvation of Palestinians must end now.

Hey Petey! This you and your boss?

Whoa! (Looks up how to purchase a pallet if binkies)

Oregon AG Rayfield: I know for a fact, from talking to cities across Oregon, that if you pick up the phone and ask, “What could be helpful?” the answer would not be the United States military.

The world is rising up!

Amid an ongoing wave of conspiracy theories and bogus claims about Jan 6, I’ll note this from our reporting: Rioters made all kinds of claims and defenses in court … and jurors convicted 100% of the defendants who went to trial 100%

Drug-Defiant ‘Nightmare Bacteria’ Surges Across US, CDC Warns A new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) flags a surge in “nightmare bacteria.” dailyvoice.com/md/prince-fr...

Gupta: It is safe. That’s what the best-quality research shows. And how irresponsible, using the podium of the WH to put this out there when you’re not even offering an alternative. That is dangerous. An untreated fever is dangerous. Untreated pain in pregnancy is dangerous.

Abolish ICE

Universal childcare wouldn't just relieve working families of a massive cost burden. It improves the whole economy. "There are a lot of reasons building a child care system that works for everyone is important to our children, to parents, to employers and to economic growth."

Voters in southwest Arizona are highly likely to elect a new Democratic House member in a special election today. That would-be lawmaker plans to become the 218th and clinching supporter of a bipartisan effort to force public disclosure of federal investigative files related to Jeffrey Epstein.

Oklahoma's Holy Bible for public education students includes the US constitution, among other documents. This is nuts, but what's even worse is that amendments related to slavery and due process are missing‼️

So unifying

There’s no hiding the political retaliation and weaponization. It’s all out in the open.

Corruption: The DOJ shut down an investigation into Tom Homan who was caught accepting $50k from undercover FBI agent against political favors.

We are not happy.

I made a little video www.nytimes.com/video/opinio...

@repstansbury.bsky.social Alex Acosta thought testimony from 40 minors wasn’t enough to prosecute Jeffrey Epstein. He still thinks that today.

Cardinal Timothy Dolan failed to report direct admissions of rape by multiple priests, lobbied against extending the statute of limitations for sex abuse, and moved money off the church books to hide it from victims of sex abuse. In case you were wondering.

Facebook users beware. Zuckerberg is disgusting. It might be a good idea to stop using his criminal platforms. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

A woman protesting outside the ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois, was brutally assaulted by goons who used mace and sting balls on her.

“Disney is run by human beings. Some of those human beings are cowards. Those cowards don’t want to be named and shamed, and if you do that effectively, they will shift their behavior.” - @ezralevin.bsky.social Cancel fascism and reinstate Kimmel: indivisible.org/government-c...

I cannot overstate how remarkable it is that under GOP rule, US federal health regulations have been captured by fringe crackpots who espouse views that the vast majority of the US public—and nearly 100% of health professionals—reject. Gift link:

The disgraceful behavior of legacy media has made supporting independent, pro-democracy media more important than ever. I founded Democracy Docket in the crucible of 2020 to be just that. It will never bow down or give in. Sign up now to support its work! hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

This about made me cry. Respect our teachers. We need them

Ro Khanna: "They're making comedy illegal. Brendan Carr pressured ABC to cancel Jimmy Kimmel, and Disney cancels Jimmy Kimmel. This canceling from an administration that lectured us about cancel culture. That's why today I'm introducing a motion to subpoena Brendan Carr."

What say you @sagaftra.org? Sincerely a member of your union.

Why so mad MAGA?

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

I'm not a violent person, but if they go through with this, I can't guarantee I'll remain peaceful. I have a red line and this is it

Over 100 progressive nonprofit groups are joining together to push back against the Trump administration’s recent threats to investigate and dismantle left-leaning organizations in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Exactly this

Susan Monarez testifies to the Senate HELP Committee that RFK jr. ordered her to fire career CDC vaccine experts without cause.

CDC has been ‘censored’ and ‘politicized’ under RFK Jr., former officials plan to say www.statnews.com/2025/09/16/c... via @statnews.com

Hiding the truth.

This is why they’re deleting studies

I’m more used to saying this to people on the Left than people on the Right, but, “hate speech” is not an exception to the First Amendment. “Hate speech” is protected by the First Amendment unless it falls into a traditional established exception.
