When Voting day arrives..it would benefit the Democratic Voters to hang around outside the Polling Places in massive numbers..this was suggested by one of my State Democratic Reps who is awesome...organize it.. this is how can make it safe for your fellow Citizens to Vote in Person...

NEW: A baby held in immigration detention became so sick, she had to be rushed to a hospital in severe respiratory distress. “She was at the brink of dying,” a lawyer told me. But the girl didn’t go home after her 10-day hospital stay; instead, ICE put her and her mother back in lock up at Dilley.

It’s good messaging, and Democrats across the country should be using it. And it’s powerful because it’s simple and connects concerns of the working and middle class to an admin that is hostile to those concerns and is instead laser-focused on elite impunity and interested of the uber-wealthy.

Ossoff: "You're seeing what I'm seeing, right? The president posting about the Obamas like a Klansman."

VA Senate president responds to Ted crying about VA’s redistricting, which should add 4 new Dem seats.

“The reason Trump didn’t apologize for the Obama post is because he is a small, petty, fragile man who cannot take responsibility for his own actions. And the second reason, frankly, is because he is a racist.”

A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.

kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them

In which Jeffrey Epstein, who laundered money for the Russians, explains how Donald Trump was doing exactly the same thing, and how this accounts for most of his wealth.

part of me still can't believe the East Wing was completely destroyed and there have been no negative consequences or reports on whether items inside were properly archived or not

Tax cuts for giant corporations and the super rich. Paid for by cuts to the social safety net for everyone else. Trickle-up economics.

When you’re losing hope. Take a deep breath. Close your eyes. Think back to when this guy was your president. When you could associate the presidency with class, decency and integrity. Now open your eyes And fight like hell to get someone like him back in office again.

It's so funny how many people have had their brains pickled by X and Fox News and can't believe that SF remains one of the most amazing cities in the world.

In Minnesota, ICE agents are illegally racially profiling residents, drawing weapons during arrests, claiming people’s citizenship documents are fake, and leaving people with long-lasting injuries. There is no excuse for Democrats to continue funding these jackbooted thugs.

NYT confirming MS NOW reporting: Prosecutors began investigating Renee Good's killing, then Washington told them to stop. Federal prosecutors had a warrant to collect evidence from Good's vehicle, but Trump leaders said to drop it. About a dozen prosecutors have since departed.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.” What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

“The Epstein class” is a keeper.

Is anybody ever gonna take a step back and realize the "Russia Russia Russia" people — derided as lunatic wine moms — were actually underplaying the foreign influence stuff, and the loud people who kept insisting it was all fake are now saying Jeffrey Epstein was kind of a cool guy?

The Birther-in-Chief's disgusting history of racism has its own page on Wikipedia. See for yourself, here: shorturl.at/UQaXQ

It doesn’t get any more disgusting than this.

SEN. OSSOFF: “.. why are roving gangs of masked men — who look like they couldn’t pass the Army physical exam — dressed up like pretend Delta Force operators, on our streets, demanding papers, dragging people from their cars, and shooting people to death?” @acyn.bsky.social

"The new law forbids counties and local law enforcement from contracting with ICE. It mandates that public bodies terminate any existing immigration detention agreements and prohibits the use of public property for federal civil immigration detention..." kfoxtv.com/news/local/n...

MSNBC: Do you believe Donald Trump is a racist? HAKEEM JEFFRIES: If the guy is not a racist, he's certainly doing the best job that he can trying to convince us otherwise

NBC editing out the booing of JD Vance is a disgrace. It’s an international event. Americans have the right to know what the world is saying. NBC has bowed down to Trump.

POLITICO: “As Europe’s political class moves to clean up its mess and address its shame concerning ties with Epstein , it’s inadvertently highlighting the comparative lack of accountability in 🇺🇸- No prominent politicians have taken a fall.” www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

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

Virginia State Senator Louise Lucas is just a delight on every level

A federal court has blocked Trump’s shutdown of America's biggest critical infrastructure project - which makes sense, since he's violating legal commitments the federal government made in good faith on my watch.

so funny to see republicans complaining about this as if they have not been pulling this shit for 15 years.

Everywhere he goes he causes problems.

New in PN: @anneapplebaum.bsky.social on Trump's betrayal of Europe "They’re bewildered we’ve allowed this to happen. And yes, you do hear Europeans saying, 'why aren’t people protesting?' This all comes as a real shock to people who had a different expectation of what America was."

One Rake After Another (2026)

on the balance i think partisan gerrymandering is bad but the only way it ends is if democrats weaponize it against republicans everywhere they can. wiping out republican lawmakers in blue states might bring the GOP to the table to end the practice.

Absolutely right. Democrats backed a national ban on gerrymandering while Republicans pushed their advantage in key states. This evens things up but also draws us closer to real reform.

Today, Sandra Bland would’ve turned 39. In 2015, Sandra was stopped by police in Texas. She later died in police custody. Sandra Bland’s death reminds us that lack of accountability and justice is not new to the U.S. Rest in power, soror 💙💛🐩

I loved this excellent 15 min overview of swarm intelligence by Joe Hanson, Jon Perry, Simon Garnier, et al. But they are so generous in their praise of my early work that I'm not a neutral observer. On the “Be Smart” YouTube channel (and PBS? I'm unclear on the sponsorship). #ALife #swarm #boids

What is the CIA up to now? Senator Wyden’s cryptic letter to the agency signals possible misconduct inside the Intelligence Community—reminding us why unchecked intelligence power is a threat to the Republic. We all need to ask what the CIA is doing, warns Patrick Eddington.https://ow.ly/hJMR50Yavih
