FAFO

“He was on display for everyone to see in the biggest staged perp walk I've ever seen in my career. What was the mayor doing at this press conference.. the mayor should know more than anyone about the presumption of innocence that he, too, is afforded when he is dealing with his own issues.”

Well done RollingStone for reporting it accurately.

Happy Thanksgiving

Prepare to mingle.

My maternal great-grandfather was in the farm worker Bracero Program in the 50’s. My father was illegally recruited to be a farm worker in the US at 16. Anybody that doesn’t know how essential Mexicans and Mexico are to our food production & economy should stfu & sign up to work at a farm! #fafo

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget

North Charleston, time to make that vote count with @michelleforsc.bsky.social

💯

Wow. This video is truly eye-opening. Take a couple minutes to watch this. A mind-boggling visual representation of wealth inequality in America. This sh*t ain’t workin’, folks. #TaxBillionaires #UnionsForAll

The fact that this is on the front page of @democracydocket.com but not covered in most of the legacy media at all tells you what you need to know about the priorities of each. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

BREAKING NEWS: Trump’s new AG pick, Pam Bondi, received $115,000 USD a MONTH lobbying for Qatar! How many of his cabinet members are foreign agents?

South Carolina needs to get it together and stop voting for Lindsey Graham! This man is part of the reason why México is going to up the prices on us. Racism isn’t just bad for people but for the economy too. #southcarolina #sc #fafo

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind? It's not because of immigrants, trans people, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP. It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains

Nancy Mace also lost the last neurons she had left. 😊

Linda McMahon, President-elect Donald Trump’s choice for education secretary, has been accused in a lawsuit of failing to stop a ringside announcer for World Wrestling Entertainment from grooming and sexually abusing children in the 1980s and 1990s.

A lot of Americans are about to find out what the federal government they so despise actually does. Of course by then it will likely be too late.

Mediaite obtained the police report of the Pete Hegseth alleged sexual assault incident. The details are horrific and should be disqualifying.

Lee: When Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was up for confirmation or when VP Harris was added to the ticket, they called them DEI hires. They want you to believe that Harvard graduate with over 20 years of experience is not qualified but Fox personality is qualified to run the DOD

Rep. Jasmine Crockett: "There has been no oppression for the white man in this country ... it is white men on this side of the aisle telling us, people of color on this side of the aisle, that y'all are the ones being oppressed."

Jarvis: His generals called him fascist. Joe Scarborough called him fascist, and now the fascist is in charge and it is journalism's job to cover it that way, not to back off and say okay, well that's it, we lost. Let the fascism happen. No

If an autistic person asks for clarification, they are not: - being aggressive - being rude - being obtuse - trying to annoy you - whatever ableist slur you are throwing at them They are : - asking for clarification It's not about you, don't take it personally, just explain.

"you don't look autistic" "Well, I'm wearing comfortable clothes, have my ear plugs and a bag of fiddle toys, I'm walking on tiptoes whilst looking around in a stressed hypervigilant manner, flinching at loud noises. So, in a way, I kinda do look a bit autistic. Just not in the way you meant."

Washington Post wouldn't endorse Harris. SCOTUSblog publisher wants Trump criminal cases dropped. Morning Joe travels to Trump to kiss the ring. While other media retreat, Democracy Docket remains fiercely independent and pro-democracy. Support its work. www.democracydocket.com/member-me/
