"The Poop."

Sometimes I just stop, shake my head, and think how ridiculous it is watching my country be destroyed by a demented old man just because some white people are afraid of the future.

I started Democracy Docket in 2020 to be fearlessly independent and unapologetically pro-democracy. The threats have changed since then, but its commitment has not. It will never bow down. It will never compromise. It will never will never obey. Sign-up now to support. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqV0

No notes. h/t @ianbremmer.com

Billionaires get a tax cut. Big Bird gets laid off. Congrats, Trump voters. You defunded kindness for nothing!

“Holy rusted metal, Batman!"

“See you in court.”

Auto loans 60 days back are at a record high. 25% of Americans are buying groceries on credit. I must have missed that stuff on the Laffer Curve.

That’s fucking awesome!

He sure did!

And there you have it.

Please take note, everyone. WE SHOULDNT EVEN BE HAVING TO DISCUSS THE TREATMENT OD MEASLES. BRCAUSE MEASLES WAS GONE. AND NOW IT’S BACK.

First Germany said NO to fascism and Trumpism. Then Canada said NO to fascism and Trumpism. And now Australia has said NO to fascism and Trumpism. The people of the world are speaking with their votes and we want democracy not authoritarianism. #SheShed

Because public art with a message is important

One thing I’d like to know is where we think we are heading that we’ve apparently decided we can’t slow down enough to read and write and learn things and spend time with each other. What’s the collective project and vision for the future that’s worth rushing ahead.

Looks like I will be on 60 Minutes on Sunday. That is me at the end of the clip.👀 www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1ef...

Just say it.

McCarthy: What’s interesting—for the media—you think these Sunday shows are all-important? More people listen to Joe Rogan on a podcast.. Swisher: Although he’s slipping to the Meidas group…

Seems like we have bigger foreign policy priorities than attempting to interfere with domestic politics in Germany.

Courts delivered wins for Pennsylvania voters Friday in two different right-wing disenfranchisement efforts.🥳 www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The VA has abruptly ended the only low-interest, affordable loan modification option for thousands of vets who are behind on their mortgages. If you're a vet at risk of foreclosure, we want to hear your story.

This isn't hypothetical. The coming days are bringing higher prices and disrupted supply chains, this time not because of a pandemic or a war, but self-inflicted by our country's government under this president.

The reason for low birth rates is not complex, it's quite simple really. Create a society where all people can flourish and live free and happy lives, then more people would want to bring children into the world.

Tariffs: when you tax your own citizens to teach another country a lesson they won’t learn.

WILSON COUNTY Dems running with a new line for Dems (especially in rural areas): “We’re your neighbors. We’re not far left. We’re right here.” www.instagram.com/reel/DJIS380...

The Supreme Court’s dream of a unitary executive—one man in charge of 50 very different and largely incompatible states, with 330 million people, even were he another Pericles—is utterly discredited; also giving a few men of sketchy character wealth equal to that of entire nation states is a bust

Without STUPID people, we would have NO ONE to laugh at....TODAY, take time to THANK a stupid person for their CONTRIBUTION........

📌Everything Trump does with our military will be to protect himself. Nothing Trump does with our military will be to protect us.

I want the Tesla Board of Directors to understand that I don't give a shit if they replace Musk. Keep him, oust him, it doesn't matter. I'm still gonna do the same thing: boycott Tesla and encourage others to do the same. They made a choice to enable Musk, and there are now consequences to be had.

Shout out to @microsoft.com They dropped a law firm that made a deal with Trump, and engaged Jenner and Block who are fighting Trump!

👇🏽

They pit us against each other so that they can rob us blind while we fight over the literal scraps.

Socialism is what they called public power.  Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Son of immigrants, Marco Rubio, calls human beings "despicable" and wants to dump them in other countries like trash. Since he loves authoritarian cruelty so much, he should deport himself to Cuba’s dictatorship and stop violating the rule of law. If despicable has a face in this story—It’s him.

Incredible moment. 🤡 @calltoactivism.bsky.social

This really is some North Korea level kind of shit.

you can say 'Merry Christmas' again. you just can't have any presents

This is *that* interview condensed into 2 mins. The bold claim is you don't have to hear his voice, or his face (tho they lie on that one). Even condensed, you can still see his dementia, possibly from untreated syphilis (tho his dad died with it too, so there may be some congenital component).

Harvard Law professor Michael Klarman gave an inspiring lecture about the need for lawyers to protect democracy. I was honored that he noted the attacks and threats aimed at me. His words serve to steel my spine and make me more committed than ever to fighting for democracy. Thank you professor.🙏
