Amanda Zurawski has been named one of TIME magazine’s Women of the Year. Amanda’s Story: Citing the state’s abortion laws, Texas doctors denied Amanda Zurawski emergency medical care when her water broke at only 18 weeks of pregnancy. It was September of 2021, and Amanda was miscarrying. Her…

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

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.

He should be our messenger.

I have no independent confirmation of this. But this is seriously scary. This piece claims D.O.G.E. exposed sensitive government servers to the internet. @markwarner.bsky.social @jahimes.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/cyberint...

Eve and I are out celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary! And I’m wearing the same shirt I wore on our first date — it’s a bit worn around the edges but then so am I. But three decades later, Adam and Eve are still going strong!

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

I created Democracy Docket in 2020 to help keep you informed on the fight for democracy in court. Five years later, it continues to be fearlessly independent and unapologetically pro-democracy. Support the work of its 19-person team: www.democracydocket.com/member-me/

JB Pritzer NAILED it! "We don't have kings in America, and I don't intend to bend the knee to one."

Mark my words—He is going to try to shut down mail-in voting. When he does, we will sue and we will win. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Elon Musk needs to be charged for his crimes. Period.

The complete failure of Republicans in Congress to exercise their power as a check on the executive branch is national disgrace. But the courts are doing their job and may yet protect democracy from Trump.

#DonTheCon Trump administration set to purchase $400 million worth of armored Teslas 👀 😐🇺🇸 www.npr.org/2025/02/13/g...

Well… today I have my first DOGE subcommittee hearing along with a Judiciary hearing, all while DC is snowed in! If I had normal coworkers & the country wasn’t going to hell lead by DOGE Douchebags, I’d say, “nothing to see here,” but something tells me, today is going to be pure insanity…

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

📌I was the managing editor at Stars and Stripes and can tell you that Pete Hegseth is the first SecDef I am aware of to be openly booed by military families on a military base. 📌This is the most significant pushback I have seen to this administration's racist, hostile initiatives.

📌NOTE: Been to a ton of protests and rallies here in Madison, WI, leading up to the 2024 election. They were swarming with Palestinian protesters giving Biden hell, then Harris. 📌There were 1,500 hundred people giving Musk and his orange VP hell today. I didn't see ONE Palestinian protestor. W-T-F

This is our new Attorney General. It will be up to the pro-democracy legal community to fight harder than ever. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

watched a few minutes of NBC "news" on streaming tonight. They said Trump's tariff "worked" and got Canada to tighten its border. What utter fucking bullshit.

I'm definitely in!

AOC: I have encountered many billionaires. You all have seen many of those encounters in hearings.. I can tell that this dude is probably one of the most unintelligent billionaires I have ever seen

WATCH to see exactly how Trump got played by Canada and Mexico.

🚨 CALL TO ACTION‼️ 🚨 ‼️AMERICA‼️ 📣📣📣 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Please 🙏🏼 watch Jess Cravens video tonight, and follow her advice on steps to take ASAP! THIS IS NOT A DRILL 🔥🔥🔥

Raskin demands DOJ release Smith Mar-a-Lago report: House Judiciary Democrats are asking the Justice Department to publicly share special counsel Jack Smith’s Mar-a-Lago documents report, adding to the push to unseal the volume after DOJ moved to halt prosecution against President Trump’s two…

Not responsible for this one, but hope the gallows humor will bring a smile to your face in these troubling times. Song comes courtesy of the good folks at the Thom Hartmann Program, and the video was put together by a member of our team. #SoundUp youtu.be/XAwev6kFAnU

Why aren’t we being given advice from Democratic Leaders? What can we do as citizens? Should we file complaints with our StateAttorney General? Give us something for gosh sakes! Because, “hold on, it’s going to get bad” isn’t cutting it.

I've emphasized the second, But the first is big! A US senator should walk over to Treasury w/a few reporters and an iPhone camera and a Lutheran pastor and demanding to see speak to Elon and "Big Balls" in person about what they're doing with payments. You think they're gonna lock the door on you?

The Dumbest of Trade Wars enacted by the Dumbest Administration for these Dumbest of Times.

It’s happening, people. Elon Musk’s hostile takeover of federal government infrastructure is now in progress. So who has Musk corralled to help him execute his plans? Musk has hired a bunch of “engineers” who are barely out of college. At least one may still be in school. Musk’s DOGE lackeys…

Democrats aren’t powerless against Trump’s blitzkrieg power-grab. Senate rules are designed to protect the rights of the minority and Democrats have tools at their disposal to grind Senate business to a halt if Republicans try to ram through Trump’s extremist agenda: indivisible.org/resource/how...

🚨TAKE 5 MINUTES LEGENDS🚨 Rachel Maddow sounds another alarm. She's probably the last good news host we have in the country. She hasn't let up and hasn't sold out. #USDemocracy #DeportMusk youtu.be/OujB43E-JeI?...

Whenever I post ideas for Dems what I hear is some Dems cheering it but many telling me all the reasons why it won't work. Their view is that "resistance is futile." That philosophy is self-defeating. Push those thoughts out of your head and instead focus on taking action.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry, or scream... or all of the above.

Every one of these stories has the same common theme: when they explain why they voted for Trump it's always a quick nod to the prices for cover, then something selfish, never something for the good of the community. Then wide-eyed disbelief at how they were directly impacted by his actions.

Trump’s trade war is about to screw us twice. Higher prices on Canadian goods and anything made with them. Then, less demand for U.S. products in Canada. Now Trudeau is hitting back with $155B in tariffs on American goods. This isn’t “winning”—it’s self-sabotage. Good job Trump voters.

News flash. USA and the world don't have two years of waiting.

Call to action: 50 protests, 50 states, one day. #3E #USprotests #endimpunity #endautogenocide #endoligarchy #Feb5

I think this is our future unless someone stops him. Musk’s plan for X has been for it to replace the entire banking system. His keen interest in seizing control of Treasury payments (and its tech) may forebode an intention to have such payments go through X www.theverge.com/2023/10/26/2...
