JOB: Democracy Docket is seeking a Reporter with strong news-gathering and writing skills and a passion for voting rights and democracy to join our News Team. ats.rippling.com/democracy-do...

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025. This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

Thoughts on boycotts: inflict pain on the corporation. Buying a couple 99 cent ebooks from a self-published author on Amazon is fine. Don’t buy a microwave on it. Purity is never the answer. Restraint though and thoughtfulness is.

I got your waste, fraud, and abuse right here

“The more people who say that they can 'live with' racism and misogyny in a candidate, even if they’re not enthusiastic racists, the more the enthusiastic racists and the fascists become stronger.” -Judith Butler

I rarely say this on Bluesky, but the trolls are really out today...

This is not time for "politics as usual". Promoting decorum while democracy is crumbling is like saying, "Thank you for holding the door" as you are led into the gas chamber to be executed. @repmoskowitz.bsky.social @gluesenkampperez.house.gov @tomsuozzi.bsky.social @repjeffries.bsky.social

These are the Democrats who crossed party lines to vote with the MAGA cult to censure Rep. Al. Green. Vichy collaborators, the lot of ‘em! #FightForDemocracy #ResistMAGAFascism

Silence only helps the oppressors.

“Speak up, speak out, get in the way. Get in good trouble, necessary trouble, and help redeem the soul of America.” – John Lewis

Michael de Adder nails it again. (click to see the full cartoon)

Such petty attempts at insults, and based in complete ignorance at that, are the last refuge of someone who has lost their argument but refuses to concede like an adult.

Ahead of the 60th anniversary of Bloody Sunday, I'm joining Rep. Terri Sewell to reintroduce the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to protect the right of all Americans to vote without tricks & laws of suppression. Let's summon the moral purpose of the great Congressman Lewis.

WOW! Every TSA union employee should walk off the job right now. Grind it all to a standstill.

Womp, womp. #BlackHistoryMonth #Boycott

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

Vance lies about as well as his masters and just as egregiously. Disgusting.

“We’re not going anywhere. What’s more: we’re expanding.” Nearly a dozen of Minnesota’s foremost experts on gender-affirming care collaborated on this beautiful op-ed in today’s Strib. No paywall.

The 'Why can't they just be friends' people really only ever show up when you ship something queer or interracial huh. Wonder wtf that is about.........................
