That would be nice. Or some nice rule 11 sanctions.

“When Donald Trump says something depraved, we should believe it, … because there is no limit to his moral depravity. … This is a war on due process. He wants … to dictate the fates of individuals, including American citizens, without … court[s].”

This is important.

I've shared facts on many far right and fringe candidates in the Conservative Party and shown the level of Trump support. Why has no major Canadian news organization written a story about the extremist in the CPC? Are they intimidated? Sane-washing? Why? #canpoli #cdnpoli #CanadaStrong

Israel bombed another hospital today.

Holy Fuck! He wants to build concentration camps here in the USA!!!! He & maga are the fucking “homegrown criminals!!!!”

Trump admin intends to push Congress for a $9 billion funding cut. This plan encompasses hard reductions for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which supervises PBS and NPR, as well as USAID and the U.S. Institute of Peace, a target of Trump's February executive order. bit.ly/3RMuOEK

So by paying our taxes, we pay for a Central American dictator who runs the 116th-richest nation in the world to build five more supermax concentration camps slated to be filled with our countrymen and wholly innocent legal permanent residents of the United States? Is that right?

That’s illegal. FYI. No - Pam Bondi won’t do anything.

If this isn’t a crisis that needs to be addressed immediately, I don’t know what else it is….

More concentration camps. Sound familiar?

We ought to refer to CECOT in El Salvador as a concentration camp. The administration is sending people, mostly innocent people, to a concentration camp, with no due process. Trump clearly wants to send citizens there. 4 months into the administration and we're already using concentration camps.

Why must I got the Bluesky to see this, where’s the big media outlets on this?

This is fucking insane. apnews.com/live/donald-...

JUST IN: AP Blocked from Trump’s Oval Office Press Gaggle — Ignoring Recent Court Ruling. Trump regime is ignoring federal court orders. The Republic ends if this is not stopped www.mediaite.com/trump/just-i...

This. Write your name in the history books on the right side of the ledger.

Pierre Poilievre is skipping his own riding's candidate meeting. He doesn’t deserve to win Carleton.

Presidents Trump of the U.S. and Bukele of El Salvador said Monday they had “no basis” to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man who was wrongly deported there last month. No basis? Trump is treating federal law and federal court orders as mere trash. apnews.com/live/donald-...

True ⬇️ and by the way the US presented no proof he is a terrorist. That is something the US could have (and had a right to have) alleged and proved in court but chose not to. And admitted the deportation was a US mistake.

A reminder that while Democracy Docket was warning that Pam Bondi was an election denier who would do Trump's bidding, the Washington Post was giving her a literal thumbs up. Forget the legacy media, sign up for Democracy Docket today. newsletters.democracydocket.com/all-newsletters

Here is how WaPo handled Dem's 10-day long effort to count every vote in PA vs. GOP's 5-month long effort to throw out thousands of votes in NC. Support independent, pro-democracy media.

Dear Decent Human Beings in the Military and Law Enforcement, If you are ordered to violate the Constitution by this president, please disobey. The millions who served, suffered, and died before you deserve your courage now.

youtu.be/ZEqGes1bRq4 “I wish I had your skin colour, then America would love me” That line made me cry…… Bless him Can you imagine what would happen if all 77,000,000 MAGAts woke up like this soul has done? Would cast terror into the hearts of the GOP This video has been 4 minutes well spent

Uncovered How the Insurance Industry Denies Coverage to Patients Health insurers reject millions of claims for treatment every year in America. Corporate insiders, recordings and internal emails expose the system and its harm.

We must follow the lead of opposition movements in other kleptocracies: Put corruption at the center of our arguments. American government & foreign & domestic policy are being transformed to benefit not Americans but Trump & Co. Only voters can stop this change. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Trump and the GOP are destroying the economy, silencing dissent, using the government to punish law firms and others who oppose Trump and threatening to deport Americans to a prison in El Salvador but what is corporate media reporting on: Democrats are in disarray. Im serious.

20,000 in ruby red Utah on their feet, in community, and ready to organize for a better world. A better world is possible.

Three weeks ago, 238 Venezuelan migrants were taken from Texas to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador. The Trump administration invoked a rarely used WWII law, branding them as terrorists and gang members. Investigations show that most have no criminal records whatsoever. cbsn.ws/42oS14J

The problem is, none of this is breaking through to ‘regular’ low-information people. If we don’t figure out how to do that quickly, I’m not sure we have a chance to stop this momentum.

Forwarding my thread on the upcoming Canadian leadership debate with some of the concerns I have about the potential Poilievre strategy, along with possible remedies for @mark-carney.bsky.social . #cdnpoli #CanadaStrong

Thank you Steve!

"There's a narrative that the government wants to be able to convey, and it's one that helped get the president elected, which is that there are a lot of dangerous people who have come into our country illegally," . "This is a legal strategy being used to serve a political agenda.”

At least 31 civilians slaughtered by two Russian ballistic missiles in Sumy's city centre as people headed to church for Palm Sunday. 2 of the dead are children. Putin's deadly strikes haven't stopped. His commitment to war is ongoing, savage & shameless. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

So Trump is using Garcia’s status as an El Salvadoran national to justify doing nothing at all to facilitate his return to the U.S. as required by the 9-0 April 10 SCOTUS order. In the meantime these thugs are planning to designate part of CECOT Prison in El Salvador as U.S. territory!

Prime Minister Mark Carney on Russia's attack on Sumy killing at least 34 people

You may think I am talking about partisan politics but I'm actually here talking about Canada's future. This is a pivotal point in time. Our choice of government is one of those pivot points.

This is in direct violation of a court order or two.

I have seen a few questions regarding Democracy Docket: 1. It does not sell subscriber or member information or email addresses. 2. It is not part of Substack or ActBlue. It is fearlessly independent, unapologetically pro-democracy. Subscribe now. newsletters.democracydocket.com/all-newsletters

NEW CBS poll shows that Americans get that Trump's top priority is helping the wealthy and big corporations. Democrats need to lean into this by slamming the Trump oligarchy and offering policies that help working class Americans:
