This isn't the first time Alnur Mussayev has spoken of this. Regardless of whether or not it's ever corroborated by News sources, Trump's actions have made it very believable. His first term he started the pivot towards Russia. This term, he's completely bent the knee. #ProudBlue #DemCast

A large Ukrainian protest is taking place right now at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC On the posters: "Ukraine is not for sale", "Nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine", "Stop the aggressor by force!" 🖼️: Ostap Yarysh

There are basically two ways to save a country suffering from a wannabe strongman.

Sharing more townhall videos today because they’re giving me hope. THIS is good trouble! Who is this man? I want to shake his hand and buy him a drink.

Facts matter

They tell themselves it can’t happen here. That the courts will save us, that institutions will hold, that this is just another election. But history doesn’t wake the sleepwalkers gently. It shatters them.

I’ll keep pushing this line of analysis because I’m increasingly convinced the clearest path out of this mess is for Dems to adopt a relentless anti-corruption, anti-inequality, anti-oligarchy, pro-democracy platform. The Dem leadership hasn’t realized it yet, but they’re now a reform party.

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Your healthcare is just a roadblock for a billionaire tax cuts. Next week the House Republican’s will be hosting their own Death Panels in their “budget committees” as they try to cut $800 Billion from Medicaid!

@govpritzker.illinois.gov speech. One thing that resonated with me is that after we discriminated against deported immigrants, LGBTQ Comm, the disabled, women and minorities, once we betrayed our friends and neighbors after that when the problems are still there, then what comes next?

America is not gonna go down quietly. Former NFL punter arrested after protesting ‘MAGA’ Video:

Guillermina is pruining in a Northern CA vineyard. She uses special shears to trim the grapevines. With carefully pruning, the wine grapes will be used to make some of the region’s best wines next summer. #WeFeedYou

You are right. But it's 2025. Talking about it as if it will happen is how politics works. It also forces right wing media to talk about it and if there is enough Dem proposed legislation, Trump and Elon have to respond to the Dems rather than vice versa

I'm no expert but it seems to me that the best way to neutralize this is to go public with it, and even better to do so as a group. Also, doing so would transform you from complicit coward to courageous constitutionalist.

It's not lost on me that the two Democratic electeds talking consistently to regular people right now are AOC and Jasmine Crockett. Dassit.

There's a mindset that goes "Trump's authoritarianism is a distraction from his corruption which is a distraction which is a distraction from his policy agenda which is a distraction from egg prices which is a distraction from his authoritarianism." It's an excuse not to act. Attack all of it.

well, this one has aged incredibly well:

In South Carolina, tonight: “I have an ectopic pregnancy. It’s on my ovary. They’re making me risk my ovary even though I don’t want to. They refuse to do the surgery.” #ForcedBirthNation Original Post: www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2yCKENt/

AOC has them sputtering mad because she’s educating people on constitutional rights. You don’t see them freaking out at Jeffries for talking about egg prices.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has returned $21 billion to people who were cheated by big banks and credit card companies. So why are Trump and Musk gutting an agency that's returning money to people who were scammed? For them, this has never been about cutting costs.

Could someone place an order for 100 more Jasmine Crocketts for overnight delivery to the Democratic Party thx in advance

Leading expert on democratic collapse says most authoritarian regimes start by seizing control of government agencies with power to regulate and prosecute. Trump is already, right now, closely following the path to entrenching an authoritarian regime.

Here is the ad the Washington Post refused to run about Elon Musk this weekend. And here is the ad the Post was happy to run by a rightwing group funded by Musk that smeared me in October. I started Democracy Docket to be fiercely independent and prodemocracy. Check it out. www.democracydocket.com

Here’s an ad that the Washington Post refused to run. Publishing it here.
