You don’t know who we just disappeared to El Salvador. Think about that.

I’m totally fine with deporting gang members who commit crimes who don’t have legal status. I just don’t want Tom Homan or an ICE agent grabbing anyone off the street and flying them to a prison in El Salvador while claiming they are all of those things with zero due process.

"I don't think that people really understand what's at play here, that this is a massive, nearly unprecedented change in a variety of US policies that are not going to workout well for a lot of Americans."

If you only have time to read one thing today, read this. Excellent analysis of the dismantling of our institutions – – the movement behind it and what is occurring in real time. We’re in the fight of our lives. open.substack.com/pub/mikebroc...

We’ve been making digital content since 2013 and we can report that DEMS have NEVER embraced digital. They love their mailers though. It’s not 1986 folks. “Republicans are running circles around Democrats for how to connect to the culture today.” Sobering article: www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Senator @johnfetterman.com , please explain your vote to confirm Pam Bondi as US Attorney General. Last year, you warned us about the dangers of Project 2025—but you just enabled it!

Where ARE OUR leaders? You going to let our Republic die? I want our leaders (Biden, Obama, former military leaders, people in positions of power, past or present) to organize. STOP putting this on We The People. Find YOUR courage and YOU ORGANIZE. We are doing our part. youtube.com/shorts/keNw6...

It's a little more complicated than that.

Folks, please (respectfully) help us reach @mcuban.bsky.social about these upcoming special elections! The grassroots energy is BUZZING! I am desperately wishing that we can get some mainstream attention on this one chance to shake things up before 2026!

I have no idea what this even means, unless they are referring to having conquered the local newspaper. That he seems to have conquered for sure.

Trump's main economic aim is to relieve the billionaires from taxes. What a visionary! Or should we say crook? The US billionaires bought the Trump presidency to avoid paying taxes, while thriving on government contracts paid by Americans being foolish enbough to pay taxes.

GOOD LORD CNN, WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU Threatening to take over the Panama Canal, annex Canada and force a purchase of Greenland isn't "teasing expansion" It's contemplating unprovoked armed conflict-and against our allies, no less! This is what Putin does! YOU'RE NORMALIZING A POTENTIAL WAR

This is journalism malpractice, full stop. @cnn.com should be ashamed.

ABC (Disney), Washington Post (Bezos), Meta (Zuckerberg), LA Times (Soon-Shiong)... all bending the knee to Trump, all obeying in advance, all sucking up to the Dictator-in-Waiting. This is (part of) how democracies die. This is the Orban, Putin, Netanyahu and Modi playbooks.

The Democratic Party Sacrifices Its Young To Protect The Establishment By selecting Rep. Connolly over AOC to lead the House Oversight Committee, the Democratic Party chooses to continue the ossified status quo instead of much-needed reform & growth. thelefthook.substack.com/p/the-democr...

WE ARE STILL IN THIS. Wipe your tears. This is the difficult business of hope and defying expectation. We do not give up. We run through the tape. Y’all aren’t allowed to throw in the towel until I do. 😉 Big breath. Locked in. Let’s do this.

Pretty damn spot-on, don’t you think?

“This is actually how democracy dies”: Experts denounce ABC's settlement of Trump’s lawsuit.

Please pay attention to what the GOP is doing in North Carolina. They are continuing to try to steal a state Supreme Court seat. youtu.be/cHzbdAdR4vE

Please meet the two faces of Lindi Li—a donor and fundraiser for Kamala Harris. Never to be trusted or listened to again, and I’ll leave it at that.

Trump announces that billionaires no longer have to comply with environmental regulations

Your factory can now irradiate the local water supply and catalyze all the cancer clusters you like so long as you pony up ten figures to do it.

When they talk about privatizing Veterans’ care and Medicare, they mean allowing companies to provide healthcare for a profit. But how do companies make those profits? By *denying* care to many who need it. Don’t get fooled by the “privatization” label. It means “for profit” and YOU are the cost.

Ten years ago:

Jeff Bezos and I were both in the news today. Bezos is making nice with Trump. Kash Patel has said that I am an enemy of the GOP. He owns the Washington Post. I founded Democracy Docket. Both rely on paid subscriptions. Which do you want to support? www.democracydocket.com/member-me/

Stop calling Trump’s nominees “loyalists.” They are henchmen.

Republicans hate me because I fight, I don’t back down, I won’t obey.

A handful of billionaires now have unprecedented control over banking, the food we eat, the health care we can access and, now, the information we receive. This is what oligarchy looks like.
