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...

8647 And The ICE

Okay. The world can see this. Why it so hard for 30% of Americans to continue holding out hope a leopard will change it's spots?

People in the GOP made fun of Nancy Pelosi's husband being nearly beaten to death with a hammer. You cannot shame these people. You cannot demand they adhere to social norms. They gleefully, willfully spread misinformation about attacks they provoke. They can only be punished.

Seems @senmikelee.bsky.social didn’t want to talk about his ugly tweets blaming Dems for the shooting of Dems in Minnesota

Just so I’m clear… Terry Moran got fired, but Mike Lee is still a sitting US senator?

An Afghan man who worked as a translator for the U.S. military during the war was detained by ICE after showing up for a hearing inside of a federal courthouse in San Diego, his attorney says. He fears that if he returns to Afghanistan, he would be tortured or even killed, @nbcsandiego.com reports.

for strange, unknowable reasons much of this country seems incapable of granting revolutionary agency to a band of dedicated evangelical Christians - we are determined to see them as rubes and, thus, it can't possibly be true they outwitted us and now run the Pentagon and the entire US fedl govt

LAPD shoves an unhoused woman to the ground so hard her skull cracks open and she’s knocked unconscious. They then carry her to the curb, prop her up and abandon her. Witnesses took her to the ER.

Senator Mike Lee pretended he was on the phone to avoid being confronted by @smith.senate.gov after he mocked assassination victims this weekend. She made sure he heard what she had to say.

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

One begins to wonder if putting the dumbest motherfucker ever to live in charge was a mistake.

Singer Nezza was told to sing the national anthem in English at the Dodgers game - she sang it in Spanish anyway. The crowd cheered as she finished “The Star-Spangled Banner” en español 🇺🇸🇨🇴🇩🇴 The Spanish version was commissioned by the US govt in 1945 to foster better relations with Latin America.

[email protected] on Mike Lee: "Either he's so mentally ill and deranged that he's convinced himself that this person is a Marxist, and that Tim Walz is responsible....Or he knows it's a lie....either one of those options makes him totally unacceptable as a person in public trust."

The incredible Resistance Revival Chorus led by Shaina Taub, Tony-Award winning composer of Suffs the Musical, singing "No Kings in the USA"

I see the New York Times has decided to endorse a sex criminal. I guess somebody has to do it or nobody will look out for the sex criminals

Prime Minister Carney just posted a video of him greeting leaders at the G7. Guess who he excluded...😂

as someone prone to directly confronting people for stuff they say online, that from lee is the face of someone who did not expect to be confronted for something he said online

@bagleycartoons.bsky.social

Now that's an orange king I would support! #orangecat #cat #gingercat #nokings

What he said... ✊ Rage against the machine

Wow! See the difference? Thank you for your service.

WATCH: Fired Ex-ABC journalist Terry Moran stands ten toes down on what he said about Stephen Miller’s hateful heart🖤when talking to @thebulwark.com’s @timmiller.bsky.social (no relation) Be truthful not neutral is our motto too, Terry 👊🏼 Full: terrymoran.substack.com/p/live-inter...

I’m just watching this G7 summit, and man, our country is being embarrassed like never before We’ve never had more pathetic leadership than what we’ve got right now A totally unprepared “President” that honestly has no clue what’s going on Other countries are laughing at us You deserve BETTER!

We are back to these two, who made the news💙 Fight hate with love.

I wonder if the MAGA people now waking up to the fact that Tucker Carlson was a fraud & con man all along who only cared about himself, who created fictitious personas to shamelessly promote himself to people he knew were rubes, will ever figure out that is also true about Trump?

WE HAVE QUESTIONS… This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they? ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants. How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

This is awesome!!!! I think, if not for weather related issues and the tragedy in Minnesota, there would have been more!

WE CAN REMAIN UNGOVERNABLE LONGER THAN YOU CAN REAMAIN IN OFFICE

The cowardice of the Congressional GOP to not put guardrails on the lunatic in the Oval Office - as they are required to by oath - is overwhelming at times.

ICE throws gas at protesters who immediately cone it then use boards to help fan the gas back at ICE.

At a time when we desperately need to bring down the temperature, the president of the United States is deliberately turning up the heat. His thirst for chaos and division is dangerous and deeply un-American.

Occupied nation

Glad to hear Minnesota State Patrol is on the scene alongside the U.S. Marshals because I don’t trust the FBI or the US Marshals.

Today marks nine years since Jo Cox was assassinated by a far-right extremist, a terrible loss to those who knew and loved her and to politics. Zero lessons were learned though and the far-right continues to be pandered to. With more political assassinations in the US it all feels too familiar.

"Bluesky is dead." Meanwhile, on Bluesky...

The political assassinations in MN = domestic terrorism. A reminder that the guy now running the DHS division responsible for combating domestic terror & targeted attacks is a 22 yr old with no federal experience, and whose last job was his own lawn mowing biz. Dems should now be screaming this.

Free speech for me, a felony for thee.
