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

Politicians feared people having healthcare, housing, and food more than they feared fascism — because they had already sold us out to the lobbyists and oligarchs who thrive under fascism. We’re in this moment because of corporate and dark money in politics. That must end for us to move forward.

If Trump can claim a "national emergency" to disappear legal residents without due process, what’s to stop him from doing the same to U.S. citizens who oppose him? No one is safe — not even people legally in the country, possibly not even American citizens. Fascism is here.

Russia has instilled in its people that any amount of suffering is worth the possible, potential, future glory of the proud, patriotic, Russian way of life. American magats on faux news, OANN, Newsmax, and within the state department are trying to sell the same BS to us Americans. 🖕🖕🖕

@gregcasar.bsky.social: "Elon Musk gets $8 million a day in federal government contracts and subsidies. $65 a day is how much your average senior gets on Social Security just to barely survive on after working their entire life."

FYI, if you cannot claim any of the following: - secured billions in federal contracts - received inside information on when to capitalize on stock market corrections - been granted exemptions on tariffs …then you are NOT the beneficiary of Trump’s agenda. You are the victim.

After mass boycotts against Target for ending their diversity equity inclusion program in January, they’ve suffered 10 consecutive weeks of decline in foot traffic as well as significant loss in market value whilst Costco sees significant gains for keeping their DEI program. Good.

Under the Trump budget plan just passed by Congress, a staggering 70% of House Republicans would personally financially benefit from extending major tax loopholes. More money for them, paid for by cuts to YOUR benefits.

When you elect a bunch of people who hate and fear government to run your government, you get a government of hate and fear. This is true no matter how many times you're dumb enough to run the experiment.

Frost: They're the ones hoarding wealth beyond imagination. We have to tell people the reason you can't pay your rent has nothing to do with trans people. The reason you don't have healthcare has nothing to do with immigrants. It has to do with billionaires like Elon Musk.

Taxes are rising the fastest since 1968. Prices are skyrocketing. Families are hurting. Markets are breaking volatility records. Business uncertainty is off the charts. International demand for US treasury bonds is becoming shaky, risking total collapse. Donald Trump is golfing.

I have a serious question for #TheTwit. How, pray tell, are you going to create these manufacturing jobs with no factories to manufacture things in, same goes for mining and refining. No mines, or refining plants means no jobs. He’s just such a fucking moron it’s hard to take sometimes.

Yo! Shoutout to AOC & Bernie for leading by example — showing up, speaking truth & organizing w/the people, not just talking at them from D.C. We need that same energy from all Dems. Whether it’s 35,000 or 35 people — show up. Hit the streets, hit the town halls, show you’re ready to fight for us.

Gomez: They got a simple plan defund, defraud, and lie. They're gonna defund Social Security, Medicaid, education, anything that helps the man and woman who's trying to get by to put food on the table or to pay rent. And then they're going to lie about it.

Something my mind cannot stop thinking about is that in the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Trump admin ADMITTED that he was wrongfully deported and they they still are fighting as hard as they can to not bring an innocent man home because it will make them look bad.

I've had folks ask me if they should still shop at Target. You gotta do what's right for you. I haven't shopped at Target in well over a year, ever since they removed Pride merch. Folks may call that a boycott if they wish. I call it giving my money only to businesses who value me as a customer.

If you make the laws, enforce the laws, or interpret the laws, you shouldn't be allowed to trade stocks. Period. That's not investing, it's insider trading with a gov badge. One trade on non-public info? You're out. Fired. Banned. No pension, no spin, no second chance. This ain’t a casino, 🤡s.

This right here 🔥 “If there was market manipulation, it is a crime. Someone needs to go to jail… I want the documents. I want the Signal chats too, because I don’t trust them — that they weren’t sharing all this information across their Signal chats.” – @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social
