Sojourner Truth fought slavery through powerful speeches, activism, and legal action. Her “Ain’t I a Woman?” speech challenged racial and gender oppression, and her legal victory in freeing her son was groundbreaking. 164 days to Slavery Remembrance Day. #CountDowntoSRD

People aren’t just showing up—they’re fired up. The energy is with progressive leaders, not the moderates or corporate puppets.

They want to keep it quiet, so you know what to do.

Share if you agree. 🇨🇦 🇲🇽

A couple of golf outings could pay for over 300 federal jobs for an entire year.

My hometown of Waterloo, Iowa canceled its African American Read-In after Trump’s anti-diversity directives. So i got together some writer friends and I’m holding it instead.

What a different world we could have.

just taking tonight to really appreciate all these years of journalistic tut-tut-tutting about how over-the-top it was for anyone to focus on trump's affinity for russia and putin.

Celebrate International Women's Day by interrupting men with your unsolicited opinions and taking credit for their work. If they get upset about it, be sure to tell them that they sound hysterical and should smile more.

This really is a must watch. youtu.be/hycoCYenXls

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Let this sink in.

He usually tries to at least open with broad vague lines that are “hard” to not clap for. He’s not even trying this time around.

Yeah thanking the Supreme Court for his excesses may not have the effect he hopes for.

This list is so long and taking up so much real estate in his speech it’s almost like they want to distract from their massive cuts to Medicaid

Trump backed GOP into a big corner with his “balanced budget” point. The ONLY way House GOP could even think about upholding their “no cuts to Medicaid” swing seat promises and their spending cut mandates is deficit spending and bad math. Now they have to gut Medicaid & hand it to Elon in public.

Folks, #Trump is lying. He just said his plan calls for “no tax on tips, OT, or Social Security.” But the Tax Bill the House GOP just passed has absolutely none of this. Zero. Nada. Nothing. But it does have trillions in new tax cuts for billionaires. #TrumpSpeech #SOTU

Trump claims he “brought free speech back” after removing a man from exercising his free speech. #StateOfTheUnion

#StateOfTheUnion

US Rep Al Green removed by Trump's Nazi while others sat and watched or jeer at him. He stood up to Trump and told him he had no mandate to disrupt Medicaid for millions of people. Make a list of which politicians you are going to keep. So far it's a short list. #3E #SOTU

This is what happens when you let your racist, drunk uncle speak at the wedding and no one cuts him off. #StateOfTheUnion

Every Democrat that voted for Laken Riley Act to punish immigrants for the crime of one individual should hang their head in shame. No care for women who are dying due to overturning Roe v Wade, but go on. #StateOfTheUnion

We'll say it again: No, 150-year-olds are not collecting Social Security benefits. #SOTU www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Why is Al Green not the US president? If your representative is not matching your energy, they are not representing you. Drive them out and replace them. #3E #SOTU

the current head of the FBI has 8 separate appearances on this show

Ready Fire Aim is a lousy way to govern.

Brett Meiselas: Right now, we have a president and his billionaire oligarch buddy, who are essentially leading a coup against the United States from within. And I think people are looking right now for people to call this out for what it is every single day, unapologetically,

"People want unapologetic, pro-democracy media that isn't afraid to call things as they are,"… "They're looking for voices that fight for truth and meet them where they are. That's why @meidastouch.com is thriving." -Brett Meiselas Newsweek article: www.newsweek.com/meidas-touch...

Arizona AG Kris Mayes, New Mexico AG Raul Torrez, and Oregon AG Dan Rayfield will begin holding Community Impact Hearings — a national series of townhalls "to hear from the public about the impact of federal firings and DOGE funding freezes across the country." The first will be in Phoenix March 5.

People are calling into right-wing radio shows to voice frustrations with the Trump administration www.mediamatters.org/sean-hannity... What a fucking asshole⤵️

Put all the “DEI” folks who got let go onto a new network and I’d watch the shit out of it.

Remember Trump called the military “ suckers and losers”.

I’d say “unbelievable,” except….

Elon, I hate to break it to you but you aren’t my boss. I answer to the people of Minnesota. But since you bring it up, I spent last week fighting to stop tax breaks for billionaires like you, paid for by defunding health care for moms and babies

Dark skies reflect my sadness at the firings of all the humans that help keep the #GreatLakes as healthy as possible. Tonight I mourn the loss of the 14 @usfws.bsky.social employees that kept the invasive sea lamprey at bay. My fishery will be hurt. 😢😢🌊🌊

Sure hope so. (art by Dave Tarnowski)

Thank you for being our touchstone for all things legal and political. An increasingly inspirational voice among the noise that terrifies us. I read Democracy Docket when I’m feeling hopeless, scared, (& teeth gnashing)angry at this shitstorm. Your words shine a light on even our darkest days.
