Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

"I think we're in a constitutional crisis." @marcelias.bsky.social explains that Judge Boasberg's ruling officially acknowledges that the Trump administration showed “a willful disregard” for court orders and starts the process to hold admin officials in contempt: youtu.be/5HRmolBoM_k

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

I don't care how many junior staffs Hegseth or others throw under the bus. Hegseth HIMSELF was on the Signal group chat. He used his fingers to enter the sensitive military info into the chat. He bears 100% full responsibility for that -- no matter how many scapegoats he finds.

Harvard Hit With $2.2 Billion Freeze After Defying Trump - Bloomberg Dictatorship.

The President just used the Oval Office to talk about his desire to send U.S. citizens to a prison hellscape in El Salvador. That’s not law and order—that’s unhinged. It’s not strength. It’s fucking sick. Republicans in Congress could stop this, but they won’t.

This just in from The AP, reflecting the fact that it prevailed over the Trump WH in court last week: "Our journalists were blocked from the Oval Office today. We expect the White House to restore AP's participation in the pool as of today, as provided in the injunction order."

If Stephen Miller can lie about Abrego Garcia and his case on national TV, he can do it in federal court under oath. Judge Xinis should demand his appearance, question him under oath, then jail him for Contempt when he commits Perjury. This lawless administration has to be subjected to rule of law.

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.

If the Trump regime wants to start sending the worst U.S. criminals to El Salvador then they should start with the man who attempted a coup, incited the Jan 6 attack and was charged with more than 30 counts of Espionage: Donald Trump. My new article: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/if-we-are-...

You know the "Cognitive Test" Trump keeps bragging about passing? It's called the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), and it's a brief screening tool. The MoCA test TAKES ABOUT 10-15 MINUTES TO COMPLETE. Boy...talk about "in-depth."🤦‍♂️

Tariffs are a mess. They hurt everyday people. Prices go up, businesses suffer, and jobs are lost. It’s a classic case of those in power making decisions that hit the working class the hardest. We need fair trade, not this chaos. You know that. But we all need to keep saying it. #TariffTrouble

Once again, the entire reason we’re here now, in 2025, is because we totally failed as a nation to send a lot of very senior Republican officials to jail for a very long time for the massive constitutional crimes committed during Iran-Contra, the entire GWB administration, & Trump I.

It's a very obvious fact that a sizable part of our society has hooked their wagon to the wrong team. Democracy Docket is not that, ever!

I have seen a few questions regarding Democracy Docket: 1. It does not sell subscriber or member information or email addresses. 2. It is not part of Substack or ActBlue. It is fearlessly independent, unapologetically pro-democracy. Subscribe now. newsletters.democracydocket.com/all-newsletters

Trump is not done attacking our elections. He and his supporters plot every day to undermine the right to vote. They are constantly looking for opportunities to exploit weaknesses in the election system. This is their top priority. The question for us is whether it is ours as well.

Everyone realizes the illegal horrors we witness everyday could be stopped if elected republicans stood up right? That’s how you know it’s a fascist regime. They’ll go along with ANYTHING. And so will the media. Buckle up.
