Do you feel it? Do you feel the momentum shift? The will of the people is strong. And we all know the only way out is through & the only way through, is together. Resist. Persist. Standup. Speak out. Fight. We can do this. We WILL do this. We ARE doing it. And we will not stop.

I have never seen so much value destroyed deliberately. This is the worst leadership ever.

This is more important than you realize. Bluesky doesn’t downgrade links. Which means news sites will get more traffic from here than other sites. Which gives them economic reasons to post here first.

U.S.: insurrectionists go free, but women who've committed no crimes are "bound in chains that wrapped tightly around our waists, with our cuffed hands secured to our bodies and shackles restraining our feet, forcing every movement into a slow, clinking struggle." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I fucking hate hearing the voters’ response to the speech. Every single one of them came I with an opinion that didn’t change. The same thing happens when there is a debate.

A group calling itself the 3rd Term Project is calling for a Constitutional Amendment to let Trump have a third term in office. This move is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. We should take it seriously. The man who would be king certainly does. joycevance.substack.com/p/speaking-t...

I am grateful that so many people found my open letter to Elon Musk moving and want to share it. Some well meaning people are just cutting and pasting it on their social media feeds. I would appreciate it if people would link to the version posted on @democracydocket.com instead. Thanks. Marc

“I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. “I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.”
