If you’re not outraged by this, you really should be.

In 2020, when I told people that I was building a pro-democracy media outlet, people thought I was kidding. When I told them it was because the fight for democracy was the fight of our time, they thought I was being overly dramatic. Well...here we are. Please subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

I don’t really have words to explain how it feels to see Kristi Noem standing on a street in East LA that looks like the street I grew up on in East LA with an invading military force trying to kidnap people who look like the neighbors I grew up with. It stays with you, spiritually.

stealing like meme from my hellsite replies because lmao

Just got to the Mall and saw this sign, which no one is going to top. #HandsOff2025

You have to see this. PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

I will fearlessly and unapologetically continue to stand up for democracy, no matter what the president says about me. Democracy Docket will do the same: www.democracydocket.com/member-me/

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS motion to HALT deportation under rarely invoked Alien Enemies Act of 1798. “A TRO is appropriate for the class members to prevent the removal of the class.” WOW. Planes in air must turn around. A huge win @democracyforward.org and @aclu.org.

If you are a Southern California person upset about @schumer.senate.gov ‘s craven betrayal of our country, the theatre his book tour will be at on 3/23 is the Moss Theatre. Their phone number is 310-828-5582

Today Donald Trump attacked me by name in a speech at the Department of Justice. Of course I am worried, but courage comes from acting in spite of being worried. I have made my choice: I will continue to speak out, I will continue to litigate, I will continue to stand tall. I will never bow down.

Get in good trouble, necessary trouble.

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand. #resist

Make your calls. Go to your town halls. Ask your state and local officials what they are doing under state and local law. Rest. Hydrate. Make soup for the hungry. Don’t let people tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Not a sprint. Not a marathon. A relay. Find your team. Thank you.

I was just thinking how much better my life is without network news and @bsky.app is all I need to stay informed

Each time I have sat down to write something since the election, I am bothered by this recurring phrase that I simply cannot get out of my head. So, I am going to just say it out loud: we are on our own. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-a...

Sign it!!

So Target got real comfy thinking us millennial moms won’t take our basic girl bits to Costco & Aldi after they cut DEI programs to satisfy the new administration. Big mistake. Huge.

Building a new opposition: 1. Prioritize winning elections. 2. Big tent full with new policy ideas. 3. Build and fund pro-democracy opposition groups. 4. New communication methods and messengers. 5. Use every legal tool available to challenge Trump in court. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/buil...

I founded Democracy Docket to expose GOP attacks on democracy. When Trump takes the oath of office, it will expand to meet the moment. Democracy Docket is fearlessly independent and unapologetically prodemocracy. It will not back down. It will never obey. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...

If Musk can buy Twitter and potentially buy TikTok, he or another billionaire can buy Substack. That is why Democracy Docket is built on its own platform that it owns. No billionaires, no corporate overlords, no compromises. www.democracydocket.com

And this organization is helping animals who have been displaced by these fires. Donate if you have the desire or means to donate. pasadenahumane.org/eaton-canyon...

$1,131,794,901 That's how much Big Oil has spent over the last 30 years paying off Congress to look the other way on climate action while the planet burns. Well, the planet is burning. Don't let them look away.

This brings me to the toughest part: the fact that we are on our own. Institutions that assured us they would be in the fight for democracy are already backing down. People who claimed they saw Trump clearly for what he is now have voluntarily put blinders in front of their own eyes.

I miss @janeygodley.bsky.social

Donald Trump wants you to believe that he is all powerful and that if you fight back you will lose. He wants you to believe that if you fight back you face danger. It is time for us to build not a temporary resistance but a long term opposition.

If you're looking for alternatives to traditional media I hope you'll consider my newsletter, Civil Discourse, which focuses on the intersection between law & politics & is free. I've been writing about Trump's connection to Project 2025 for over a year joycevance.substack.com/p/project-20...

Family includes everyone! ❤️

Remember: fascism thrives on apathy. The autocrats want you to tune out. They want to overwhelm you. They want you to give up. Don’t give them want they want. Stay in this fight. Remain vigilant. And let’s keep building.
