People are mad at @samuelmoyn.bsky.social but this is a good piece from him and @ryandoerfler.bsky.social on need to accept that SCOTUS has become functionally illegitimate. Key point is legitimacy does require the public to think the court operates in good faith: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The man who told reporters it’s time to move on from the Epstein files won’t shut up about the 2020 election.

NBC is editing out JD Vance being booed at the Olympics. CBS and ABC paid millions in bogus settlements to fund Trump. CNN made Scott Jennings a rightwing star. The Washington Post just laid off 300 journalists. Support independent media. Subscribe to Democracy Docket. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Bill Clinton calling out the GOP bullshit for what it is. They are stepping on rakes again.

Jasmine Crockett: “Most of us already know who Trump is — we already know there are no bounds to how low he’s willing to go. We know that he has no moral compass. We know that he is a disgrace — when will Republicans in Congress condemn his behavior — your silence is complicity & it is very loud”

The "staffer" will not be fired because a staffer didn't post it. Everyone knows this, especially political reporters, but that sure ain't gonna stop them from carrying his water in order to preserve access.

We are not sliding in Fascism, we are THERE.

It was only a matter of time before the mom from last week's SNL skit called in to CSPAN

🚨Status Coup News just ended their Livestream in Minneapolis. They said that the ICE raids have NOT slowed down at all. They are documenting them daily. We cannot listen to Tom Homan when he feeds us the illusion that they are stepping back at all. We must keep the pressure HIGH on ICE. #FUCKICE

Swear to god, ICE could just announce they're leaving a city but not leave and the media will just stop covering that city completely even though ICE never left. It's what ICE and the media did with LA and they're doing it with Minneapolis too

I’m not sure we’ve properly addressed how profoundly disturbing it is that America can largely shrug at the stashing of human beings in giant warehouses.

Trump posted a pathetic video of the Obamas. Don't pass that around. You're giving the bitchass maker views and you're forwarding something meant to be incendiary to ignite their deeply desired race war. Don't help.

Republicans are a bunch of weirdos who want to look in your kids underpants. Is a good message. More Dems should use it.

I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside. What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there? I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

I hope lawyers, secretaries of state, and state attorneys general are preparing for what’s coming.

MELIA is no longer in the shelter. She was rescued by @pawspathtofurever.bsky.social . now training at K9 Rehab in Watertown, Connecticut. With appointment you can do a meet & greet. And bring your dog to see if it's a good fit with Melia. Adoption application 👇 form.jotform.com/252536958908...

Worth repeating. #TrumpShitHimself

Every American needs to watch this:

I AM CALLING for AGs and District Attorneys in every State to begin opening investigations and issuing subpoenas into those who may be implicated in the Epstein Files. Start doing this NOW. WHO’S WITH ME?

Heads are going to explode 💥 Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third. All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit. 1/3

NY Gov. Kathy Hochul’s press office has entered the fray in the best way.

Looks like "Seeing how fascism plays out" has not been an optimal strategy for the Dems.

The president had his DOJ raid an election office and seize ballots. Now he is threatening to take over elections. Sadly, this is treated by legacy media as just another normal day. I founded Democracy Docket because you deserve better. Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

🚨 #GVerse #BreakingNews: Ted Lieu says #Shit4Brains appears thousands of times in the Epstein files. He says the allegations in those records are “highly disturbing” and demand full accountability. Ted Lieu is a FUCKING SAVAGE!

Trump's claim that "for the last 9 months NOBODY has come into our country illegally" is flatly false. Border Patrol has recorded hundreds of thousands of encounters in the past 9 months. Illegal crossings didn’t stop. They’re tracked monthly by DHS. He lied..again.

❤️ MELIA is looking for a home after her training. A home with no small kids. Teenagers are fine. If you have a dog, you can do a meet & greet with Melia. She's at K9 Rehab in Watertown, Connecticut. Contact @pawspathtofurever.bsky.social if you have any questions. Thank you ❤️

They’re taking children from Minnesota and locking them up like criminals in detention camps in Texas. For the love of God, send our kids home and bring an end to this nightmare. www.startribune.com/walz-demands...

The people of Minneapolis have been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. The first time a city's population has ever been nominated.

I’m sharing Aliya’s entire opening statement. We owe it to her, and those who no longer have a voice, to watch. youtu.be/zrcW8SZtYpI?...

There are far more aggressive legal moves D's could be making right now...constitutional challenges, injunctions, discovery that would make agencies sweat. Not a lack of options. They lack appetite. You don’t always lose because you’re outmatched. But you DO always lose when you won’t fight.

He tells us what he’ll do. We laugh, then it happens. He promised invasion; he invaded. He promised troops at home; they’re here. He promised retribution; prosecutors and investigators are now targets. He seized ballots; he’s calling to seize elections. This isn’t bluster; it’s a plan. Stop laughing

Who killed #Epstein now seems obvious! #EpsteinFiles

No. The administration has spent months BLOCKING the report going to congress. Nothing is "too classified for Congress."

You might ask, “Why would Christian Nationalists disrupt a Christian service to arrest Christians praying? Doesn’t that violate their religious freedom?” Because these Proud Boys are also White Supremacists and the people praying aren’t white. They only believe in religious freedom for themselves.

Not normal.

Government records reviewed by ProPublica identify the two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

Bad Bunny at the Grammys: "Before I say thanks to God, I want to say ICE out. We're not savage, we're not animals, we're not aliens, we are humans, and we are Americans."

Open letter to our Senators: Gentlemen, Ladies, we don't really care about ICE not getting even more funding. We don't care about more "training" and more rules they won't follow. We want ICE de-funded. Dismantled. Gone. Driven out of our cities.

Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

I want to hear at least ONE Democratic leader talk like their ass is on fire about ICE’s electronic surveillance of people committing no crimes...and the “nice little database” they’re bragging about building on Americans. That’s the emergency. Anyone??

There’s no justification for shooting someone ten times in the back. There’s no justification for shooting someone ten times in the back. The debate about what Alex Pretti did or didn’t do is irrelevant. The agents committed murder. It wasn’t a “bad shoot”. It was a killing

Trump just crossed the line: The arrest of Don Lemon is an authoritarian assault on American democracy open.substack.com/pub/unpresid...

Buttigieg on Fox News: "When you see an American woman opening the door to her home and on her doorstep finds half a dozen federal agents in tactical gear that is more tricked out than what I would take outside the wire in Afghanistan -- I think most people get that that is wrong."

apart from this it was a fantastic cinematic experience  www.the-independent.com/arts-enterta...
