After the Brown v. Board decision, white people across the South opened hundreds of private schools. 70 years later, most of the ones still open in Alabama’s Black Belt remain overwhelmingly white. In this town, one school keeps kids divided. (Published May 2024)

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.

Republican support Ukraine.

I support Ukraine. Our government needs to respect the views of Americans who want to stop Russian aggression against Ukraine. Putin has committed too many crimes. Remember Alexei Navalny’s murder?

I feel sorry for those rich, corrupt people like Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell, Newt Gingrich, Steve Bannon, Stephen Miller, Elon Musk. They sold their souls to the devil and they know nothing about real values. They are living unconsciously, with big egos grabbing power and hoarding money. Shame.

President Trump said he will continue to restrict The Associated Press’ access to his events and news conferences until the outlet goes along with his renaming of the Gulf of Mexico in its reports. He acknowledged that the move was a presidential retaliation against AP's editorial policy.

Commentary: DOGE was created under the guise of eliminating fraud, waste, and abuse in federal spending. But, like many of Musk’s grand pitches — DOGE is just another empty promise from one of the world’s most practiced conmen.

Or they are not speaking out because they are cowards owned by billionaires who are sucking up to Trump at every turn. Support independent media. www.democracydocket.com

This Fourth Estate--what is this Fourth Estate that you speak of? Other than a few indepedent media outlets here and there, I am amazed at the eunuch brigade we have in newsrooms. They are just allowing their power to be run over roughshod while their billionaire owners laugh and sneer at democracy.

Propaganda works. Repeat something over and over, and people believe it. Americans only hear Republican biased information on radio, TV, social media, news. Even the most politically uninformed person supports republicans. Rich people support republicans for better taxes, business rules.

I’m spending less. I’m strictly limiting social media, TV. I’m meditating, conserving, recycling, re-using. I’m writing my government representatives. I’m praying for and forgiving those unconscious souls who are wreaking havoc in the world with greed, hate, fear. I’m trusting the universe.

I miss President Joe Biden and VP Kamala Harris. Joe Biden should have stayed in the race because Americans were not ready to vote for a woman. Democrats were stupid to turn their backs on a good president with a long record of success. Our culture needs help. Our media is Republican controlled.

Jim Acosta: I think the AP should consider whether or not to sue the administration… and the rest of the press corps should start seriously considering whether it’s worth sending everyone into the Oval Office, onto Air Force One, or into the briefing room.

We can blame the New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN, ABC, WGN Radio, FOX and all media companies for not reporting Democrat and Republican news in a balanced way, for being complacent, for supporting maga (maya), and for causing Americans to be acclimated to racist, selfish hate and lies.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Giving in because one is afraid won't protect us — it will bring about the authoritarian regime we fear. We need to support those who are still willing to stand up for what is right and to tell the truth. Time for me to subscribe to Democracy Docket. I urge you to do the same.

📌One year ago today, Alexei Navalny, an activist, freedom-fighter and Russian opposition leader died in an Arctic penal colony where he was serving a 19-year sentence on bogus charges of extremism against Vladimir Putin's murderous regime. 📌This week, the Trump regime once again defended Putin.

Thank you, I’ll have plenty! I used to crochet a long time ago and just started knitting a few weeks ago. It’s been a great way to stop doomscrolling and reflect 😌 I’ve finished a Sophie scarf and have started a sweater. (I’m waiting for more purple yarn & am casting on a new cardigan as I wait 🫣)

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options. Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive
