Arizonian May you live in interesting times. We live in bone chilling scary times, watching the “coup d’etat” but it's interesting. Democracy is fragile. We must fight to keep it. New here. This seems like Twitter used to be, before it got the aXe.

I guess he had enough time to root through every last inch of all of our personal data and has packaged and sold it to every bidder. Bye bye, Big Balls. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/24/u...

Thiel wants to spy on all Americans through his company Palantir. This guy believes in NAZI Ideology. He is a criminal, insane, a psychopath & is dangerous! 👇🏻

Explains Stephen Miller's motivation to arrest 3,000 people a day... "Miller owns between $100,000 and $250,000 worth of stock in Palantir... that has a several lucrative contracts with ICE to track data and conduct surveillance on undocumented immigrants" By @rollingstone.com

On balance, I was more comfortable with Fox employees lying about wars than running them.

Ruiz: Why did the report include citations that don’t exist? RFK JR: All of the foundational assertions in that report are accurate Ruiz: How can they be accurate if they did not exist?

MAGA farmers are now complaining that they can’t find American workers to work their farms due to the ICE Gestapo raids arresting hard working immigrant workers or forcing them to flee or quit. I have no sympathy for anyone who voted for this, welcome to the finding out stage.

Some thoughts on the current situation with Iran. Screenshot from the bad place.

Let's all Play - Coincidence or Not !

Congress didn’t just lose its power it gave it away. On war, trade, and policy, lawmakers have willingly let the executive branch rule unchecked.

Donald Trump bombed Iran tonight, not because they are about to have nuclear weapons (they are not), but because he needed a distraction from his tanking poll numbers and his deeply unpopular "Big Beautiful Bill." He doesn't care who gets killed, Iranians or Americans, to help HIM.

What Caturday doing?😺 #Cat #Cats #OrangeCat #Caturday #Dance #MichaelJackson

Declaring war isn't like Michael Scott declaring bankruptcy. Dropping bombs on a sovereign country is an "act of war." The mental gymnastics people do to forgive anything Trump does is insane. Some thoughts: open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

📢 A US Army combat veteran has a few words to express his thoughts on the oath he took. 🔥

Mystal: It all goes back to Dobbs. It tells everyone on that side that they’re open for business to take away, to smash, every civil right they don’t like. We’re living in the post-Dobbs era.. it’s going to take some time before the country has a moment of clarity about what’s really happened here.

Tain't Normal.... Baby on Board.

The Los Angeles Dodgers announced today that the organization will donate $1 million to immigrant families impacted by recent raids.

Trump knows he's losing — and the time to strike is now | Opinion D. Earl Stephens Great article! I am more confident .... that Americans are capable of meeting this moment. I am more confident than ever that people, not parties, will save our democracy. www.msn.com/en-us/news/o...

Excuse me, Canadian here.I have a question,or two. Why are you all depending on a clearly corrupted court to decide what happens in your country? Why is No One actually trying to get him out of the Oval?Why are 2/3 of you that oppose his regime,posting atrocities but not stopping them?

And is it any wonder why Republicans hate this guy? His very existence makes them look like the sewage they know they are.

I don't think we're in a democracy anymore. Unmarked secret police kidnapping people off the street? A dictator mobilizing the military against civilians? Defying court orders? Ignoring due process? Arresting political opponents? Democracy has left the building. We CAN & MUST get it back, though.

Says it all.

LA RESIDENT: “The cruelty is staggering. People are hiding in their homes from the federal government like Anne Frank. If you’re a Christian and you’re still supporting this you’ve lost your mind. You’re not gonna get a job because of what they’re doing. Absolute brutality.”

What better way to observe the end of slavery than a rich old white man yelling to work harder.

"Peace president."

Way to go, my bitches! 💙💙💙 www.bbc.com/news/article...

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Who is funding Elon Musk to blow up rockets?

Today, we honor Juneteenth; a celebration of freedom, resilience, and the ongoing journey toward justice. Let us remember the power of hope, the strength of community, and the importance of continuing the work for true equality.

You mean, you wish to surrender to me? Very well, I accept.

Here's a story about a report my team wrote a few years ago on educational attainment by religion around the world. The NYT focused on our finding that in the US, educational attainment for Christians lagged behind other groups www.nytimes.com/2016/12/13/w...

I don’t care what city or town you live in. If these guys jumped out of an unmarked van and grabbed you on the street, would you just assume they’re ICE or FBI? Would you willingly comply with their orders and get inside the van? THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. THIS IS NOT AMERICA.

Both sides news coverage is killing democracy and there is no place where it is more dangerous that in how legacy media covers the GOP attacks on free and fair elections. For my latest and to access all Democracy Docket premium content, sign-up now. newsletters.democracydocket.com/member-meblu...
