If it was up to me, I'd at least make it an interesting dystopia.

I would really appreciate it if we didn't have to question our leaders with statements like the following... "Let's get into this allegation about, um, sexual assault, inappropriate workplace behavior, alcohol abuse, and financial mismanagement." ... but here we are.

Republicans on the NC Supreme Court just blocked certification of a Democratic justice's election win. Her GOP opponent is trying to throw out 60,000 ballots cast in November, citing debunked far-right legal theories. This assault on democracy should be a national scandal.

Even a system that calls itself a democracy can become an oligarchy if power becomes concentrated in the hands of a few very wealthy people.

I’m never gonna forgive the media for failing spectacularly to discuss Donald Trump’s friendship with Jeffrey Epstein.

I'd much rather see this legislated away, but that seems increasingly unlikely and if the current trend continues, revolution will be inevitable and terrible.

“While mainstream outlets refused to say so […] Harris was right — Trump’s enemies list is his entire to-do list. It’s been clear in the seven weeks since the election how focused he is on persecuting his enemies while he ignores actual policy issues that don’t directly impact his ego.”

Bringing my pinned Tweet along with me as I migrate here because this still matters & because we cannot normalize what Trump intends to do to DOJ. Justice should never be a political tool for presidents & their pals.

Not a day passes that someone doesn’t tell me that they are exhausted or, more candidly, afraid. It is okay to be tired and understandable to be afraid. Courage doesn’t come from being well rested and feeling safe. It is found in overcoming those emotions. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-a...

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

"The Times, which now supposedly employs like 10% of the journalists in the country, absolutely botched their coverage. It was probably worse than 2016. They had a scoop from John Kelly, Trump’s former chief of staff, calling him a fascist. They basically caught and killed their own scoop."

Democrats just helped avert a government shutdown. President Musk and Trump failed to get what they demanded. Republicans threatened to stop paying millions of workers while Democrats once again showed that they’re the only adults in the room.

Pretty wild that Elon’s debut as president elect was to strip funding for pediatric cancer research from the spending bill, only to watch the Senate have to pass it as a standalone bill. His first move was to fuck over kids with cancer.

Ukraine is the breadbasket of the world, producing enough food to feed 400 million people. Trump will hand Ukraine to Putin, and Trump's trade war w/Mexico and Canada could conceivably make us dependent on Putin-controlled Ukraine food production. Especially after he deports migrant ag workers.

If the government shuts down Saturday, the richest man in the world will be largely to blame. You may not get access to services you depend on just before the holidays because an unelected billionaire shadow president wanted it that way. If this isn’t oligarchy, I don’t know what is.
