“Holy rusted metal, Batman!"

I started Democracy Docket in 2020 to be fearlessly independent and unapologetically pro-democracy. The threats have changed since then, but its commitment has not. It will never bow down. It will never compromise. It will never will never obey. Sign-up now to support. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqV0

Treat yourself to some good news -- two court victories in Pennsylvania.🥳 Watch, share and enjoy! youtu.be/aiA90u-MUqo

And there you have it.

At a time when journalistic freedom is in danger, it’s never been more important to reaffirm and solidify the First Amendment. On this World Press Freedom Day, let’s defend and celebrate—not denigrate and deny—the freedom of the press.

Just say it.

Remember when Pam Bondi said she has the Epstein files on her desk and was going to release them soon. What ever happened with that? #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

To all those who said boycotting Target was a waste of time. It wasn't. Keep it up, y'all!

We all must stand up every single day. "If the founding history of this country is any guide, those who stood up in court to vindicate constitutional rights and, by so doing, served to promote the rule of law, will be the models lauded when this period of American history is written." -Judge Howell

A visual analysis shows the U.S. likely bombed a migrant detention center in Yemen on April 28. At least three U.S.-made GBU-39 bombs at the site of the attack, which killed 68 African migrants, according to the Houthis, a militant group that controls northern Yemen.

This woman's story is pretty remarkable. "Ali France, the Labor candidate who is the first person to unseat an opposition leader at an election, is a disability advocate, former journalist and world champion para-athlete. France lost her eldest son, Henry, to leukaemia last year."

“Do not mock us.”

Looks like I will be on 60 Minutes on Sunday. That is me at the end of the clip.👀 www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1ef...

I’m 46 but I had my shingrix shot because I’m worried about what RFK jr is going to do with vaccines. Shingles is a preventable illness like measles. We are so lucky to have these vaccines! I for one will not forgo them because the guy who runs government health services has a 🐛 in his 🧠

“There’s nothing illegal about it and if they want to make it illegal, they can come take me.” This is the energy I am trying to encourage people to cultivate instead of “they’ll arrest you next.”

Grateful to Easterseals Redwood and all they do to support people with disabilities, veterans, and those facing economic hardship. We have to stop these cuts to healthcare.

"We need to rethink the service away from the currently constrained conundrum in which there is no way to return to central Minnesota, should you choose to ride down to Minneapolis on a Friday." (nice job Bryce!) streets.mn/2025/05/02/w...

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court permanently BLOCKS Trump executive order targeting my former law firm, Perkins Coie. Executive Order 14230, entitled “Addressing Risks from Perkins Coie LLP,” violates the First, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution and is therefore null and void

The country thats still defending is winning, the country that is breaking out tanks from WW2 in storage and attacking on donkeys and lost 900,000 men and got kicked out of Kyiv and begs NK for troops and Iran for weapons, isn’t. youtu.be/lvVI64jVXuI

United Airlines is canceling round trip flights from Newark due to short staffing of air traffic controllers following a chain of equipment outages. Turns out removing DEI was a massive devastating fuck up. I miss Secretary Pete Buttigieg.

The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 created the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. I reread it today; nothing in the law allows a president to defund PBS and NPR. In fact, Congress specifically sought to insulate public media from political pressure.

AOC: They want to talk about why America is great or making America great. Our civil liberties and our civil protections are part of what makes America great. When you want to shred up our constitution and eliminate due process, it is attacking what it is to be an American.

Can we bring back DEI now? www.wsj.com/business/air...

We are at the point in history where Germany is having to lecture the US on the need to fight fascism.

Canada named third safest country in the world for travel in 2025 🇨🇦 “As travel destinations go, it really doesn’t get much safer than Canada. Violent crime is comparatively low and there is a low incidence of gun-related crime.” #canadanotbroken #truenorthstrongandfree #travelcanada

Two airliners abandoned landing attempts at Washington’s Reagan National Airport on Thursday afternoon when an Army Black Hawk took a “scenic route” near the flight path and circled the Pentagon before landing at a military heliport.

Texas Legislature is trying to kill Austin’s light rail. Please call these senators ASAP and tell them you oppose SB 2519. Senator West: 512-463-0123 Senator Middleton: 512-463-0111 Senator Gutierez: 512-463-0119

First arresting a judge now threatening to arrest Governor Evers. This is what an authoritarian regime looks like. What is it, put it in the hands of the states or let the federal government run it? America has no kings. He can’t have it both ways when it suits him. #MomSky

I am an American! I have not switched sides in the war! I am speaking up! #SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦 #BlueSkyVets #Voices4Victory

Crockett: He wants there to be a portion of the budget that goes up to $1 trillion on the defense side. They have failed the very last seven audits. So why would they continue to get raises, which they always do. Yet we're going to hurt the most vulnerable amongst us.
