Don't ever let these things happen in secret. Raise your voices as much as you can.

This is about all of us. Never forget that.

I started Democracy Docket in 2020 to be fearlessly independent and unapologetically pro-democracy. The threats have changed since then, but its commitment has not. It will never bow down. It will never compromise. It will never will never obey. Sign-up now to support. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqV0

Zuck: The average American has three friends

While cutting Services to Americans by cutting Medicaid, Snap, Medicare, Social Security, etc., the GOP is giving ICE bonuses of $45,000 each, from our tax dollars. They have been going after citizens and are incompotent. The GOP are corrupt.

All of this on a weekday we’re in complete awe of you. You always rise to every call to action. You’re amazing, and words can’t express how much we love and appreciate you all.

They tried to erase a 🌈 Little Free Library 🌈 in my town…here’s the update

Wishing everyone in Boston a happy AAPI Heritage Month! This month, we honor the rich histories, cultures, and contributions of Asian American and Pacific Islander families, communities, and residents who help make this city the amazing place it is today.

How the mouthy have fallen

Great to see! "A major company, Microsoft, has dropped a law firm that settled with the administration in favor of one that is fighting it." www.nytimes.com/2025/05/01/b...

96 people, including women who changed their names after marriage, were turned away from voting in New Hampshire under a new state law. One voter had to make 3 trips to cast a ballot. It's voter suppression – and the SAVE Act (in the U.S. Senate) would export this nationwide.

They're indiscriminately ruining lives. You're not safe just because you're innocent and a citizen.

Former January 6th case prosecutor: It’s been a privilege to serve my country as a prosecutor, including by prosecuting these rioters. The riot was a mass crime of historic proportions. “It is incumbent on all of us not to forget what happened that day.”

Harvard Law professor Michael Klarman gave an inspiring lecture about the need for lawyers to protect democracy. I was honored that he noted the attacks and threats aimed at me. His words serve to steel my spine and make me more committed than ever to fighting for democracy. Thank you professor.🙏

Big shoutout to Chicago! ✊ 👏

They put a suicide watch on the Chinese factory where iPhones were being built

Monstrous judgment on her part.

What happened to "speak softly and carry a big stick"?

Only time white people want black people out front is at a Trump rally.

Last time I looked, my 401k was down 11%

This is Linda Martin. A few years ago, the FBI seized her life savings: $40,200. The kicker: She was never charged with a crime—and the government couldn’t tell her why it took her money. Martin is far from the first. But she is trying to make sure she is the last. A thread.

I have waited my whole life, for this moment....

100 DAYS...of lying, grifting, lawbreaking, division, incompetence, ignorance, illegal deportations, self-aggrandizement, vulgarity, self-pity, cruelty, ignoring the Supreme Court & due process while attacking: the Media, Universities, Law Firms, the Courts & Journalists. 1362 Days to go...

Big Sis was like, "Let me get in on this."

Now I know why we have primaries. You discover who leads & who puts their finger in the wind.

HAPPENING NOW: A HUGE crowd of protesters march through the streets outside an FBI office in Milwaukee in support of Judge Hannah Dugan (Video: @unraveledpress.com)

youtu.be/15k3paCFDYg?... If you want proof that Americans are ignorant and evil, listen to @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social's Focus Group Podcasts.

So Trump is going after people with student loans. His mouthpiece KKKaroline "Shovitt" says Americans without college degrees shouldn't subsidize those who have them. Does anyone remember what happened with Silicon Valley Bank? Where Biden decided that the FDIC would cover the ENTIRE DEPOSITS of..

This is absolutely, positively, without a doubt NOT the way.

“I’ll hook you up to a f—ing polygraph!” Hegseth shouted at Adm. Christopher Grady, the then-acting Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, according to two people familiar with the exchange. @wsj.com www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

From Marc Murphy: "Drawn 6 years ago today. It was rejected and called unfair and alarmist."

If you want to know why Pete Hegseth thought "Take Your Wife to Work Day" was okay, this is when it started.

Last place. Loser.

OH. MY. GOD. I'm a teacher. When the little ones go outside for recess, I SWEAR they sound like they're being devoured by rabid dogs.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-WUH

A U.S. citizen went to a police officer for assistance and ended up being detained! To make matters worse, the Department of Homeland Security's official X account outright lied about the entire incident! newrepublic.com/post/194303/...

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

I think it was in her book, "Horses Make A Landscape Look More Beautiful," that Alice Walker said. "Tears unshed turn to bile." Men become toxic because THEY ARE FORBIDDEN FROM CRYING.

He might be purposefully quite now, but rest assured the 🍊💩 is waiting in the wings for election day to be over with. Dont get lulled into a false sense of security. Those tarrifs are coming.... #buycanadian #shoplocal #supportcanadianeconomy #supportcanadianbusiness #boycottUSA
