Let’s put it in simple terms. Men and women who attacked our Capitol, injured over 140 police officers and attempted to overthrow the results of a presidential election are going to be paid by Trump’s lackeys for their services on J6 with our tax dollars.

Imagine.

We are going to get there this time.

Retractions never get proportional attention. This one should.

This amazing image really captures the Tennessee fight and it's all over the internet. I am reposting it to encourage people to credit photographer Nicole Hester and the Tennessean.

Again this should inspire wall-to-wall media coverage for months. The crowning achievement of the Civil Rights Movement is dead. Black people just lost all of their remaining political power in the South. This is a monumental moment in American history that simply isn't being treated as such.

Many of you are asking how you can help me. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket for free and share its content with everyone you know. Thanks. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Starting tomorrow, events are scheduled in NOLA, Montgomery, Nashville, and Raleigh to push back on state legislatures' attempts to silence the voices of black and brown voters. We will not be silenced.

we started with the simple goal of monitoring everyone all the time and somewhere along the way it turned bad

Quick reference.

The cucking of JD Vance escalates to levels scientists had previously deemed imposible.

People have been shocked that an AI company is offering chats with an AI Jesus for $1.99/minute but it's important to remember and respect the fact that a core part of American evangelicalism is being financially defrauded by people who claim to speak for god

"To my knowledge, no department head, dean, or other administrator at Texas A&M has taken any meaningful action to defend academic freedom." this is part of the problem in academia

#MI7 #TomBarrett I just called my rep's offices. Straight to voicemail here in Lansing (fucking cowards). Staffer in DC could not answer this question: 'Does the congressperson support the commission of war crimes?" She said she hadn't had a chance to talk with #OneTermTom about it.

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

Two of my favourite academics! An absolutely must watch discussion for folks desperate for facts. Thanks @hcrichardson.bsky.social and @timothysnyder.bsky.social Can’t wait for the next one! ♥️

The Ford and Carter families are teaming up to do what the government won’t: PROTECT our elections. 🗳️🇺🇸 They’re deploying nonpartisan observers to Michigan to keep the vote safe. This is history in the making! FULL STORY: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/trump-cant...

Indiana University's football crown was the feel-good story of the year. Off the field...not so much Ranked last for free speech, DEI cuts, slashing the humanities while paying its coach $13M under MAGA trustees My column on how IU ranks No. 1 in moral bankruptcy www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

The Trump administration is apprehending and designating immigrant kids as “unaccompanied,” even as their parents in the U.S. search for them.

In the concentration camp universe, this is what's known as a filtration camp. A government preemptively takes a whole class of people to interrogate and detain extrajudicially in order to inflict duress on them while arbitrarily assessing their (supposed) culpability.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

Finally got around to a bit of research I'd been meaning to explore, and: There is no documented instance of an ICE officer being identified and assaulted while off duty because he wasn't masked. www.pbump.net/o/ices-excus...

Can someone in MI07 make sure One Term Tom Barrett sees this, his being such a devout Catholic and all. #MIO7

To my Republican colleagues who know better but remain silent in the face of mounting violence and corruption, I ask this sincerely: why did you come to Congress?

My friend Sara posted this about the superb care her father received from with Alex Pretti Absolutely heartbreaking

Still decent people in the feds, but they’re leaving.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...
