Never Trump, ex-Republican. Pro-science, geologist, former YEC. Happy to be left of X. The book of Genesis is not a book of natural history. Ukraine needs help.

This is f*cked up! Stories of ICE luring immigrants to hearings just to arrest them keep coming—now they’re going after kids. Martir Garcia Lara, a fourth grader from Southern California, went to a hearing in Houston with his dad. Instead of an update, they were both detained and separated by ICE.

Yesterday a judge ruled those wrongly deported to El Salvador MUST be given due process—and today Democracy Forward & others announced a lawsuit against these unconstitutional actions.  The Trump Admin must be held accountable for its corrupt "cash for collusion" deal with Bukele.

It's so bad, Volodymyr Zelenskyy has offered to negotiate a peace deal between Trump and Musk, but only if Trump agrees to forfeit all government territory taken by Musk during his invasion of government

Surf’s up — really big waves.

OK everyone, I have entirely rewritten my analysis of the week to reflect the latest from Musk and Trump. It goes out tomorrow to Democracy Docket premium members. You won't want to miss it! newsletters.democracydocket.com/member-meblu...

AOC: The girls are fighting aren’t they

I regret to inform you that ackman is at it again

and this is abusive employer behavior even if the employer were legitimate with good intentions

Remember when Republicans were losing their minds about leaving Afghans who worked with US troops to be killed by the Taliban? Well, Trump has revoked their asylum and is planning to send them back to be murdered.

“It accuses Bondi of a systematic pattern of demanding lawyers employed by the Justice Department commit ethics violations on behalf of "zealous advocacy" for the Trump administration's policy goals, and either terminating or forcing the resignation of those who refuse to do so.”

Trump Is Losing In Court A STAGGERING 96% OF THE TIME! youtu.be/3MviCv5MUu0?...

“Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?” — Latin for “Who watches the watchmen?” — is an ancient and powerful phrase from the Roman poet Juvenal. Originally concerned with fidelity and moral guardianship, it has evolved into a timeless warning about unchecked power. (1/13)

If Elon really wants to get back at Trump, he should reveal that he stole the election and say how he did it. #ElonandTrump

As I predicted, we are now entering an era where we cannot necessarily trust data coming from the federal govt on things like inflation. Something to watch VERY closely for GDP, unemployment, everything. www.wsj.com/economy/cpi-...

"If people knew how shit our product was they'd stop buying it" is the slogan of the 21st century

REMEMBER: The January 6 terrorists have been hired as ICE.

The NYPD and ICE mistakenly arrested a Chilean woman who is a permanent resident in New York City and left her poor frightened 12 year old daughter on the street alone. She was released approximately six hours later. This is the fearful state of America.

Jealous

Trump doesn't know he took an oath to uphold the Constitution. Kristi Noem thinks habeas corpus is the President's right to deport people without due process. Republicans cry about the Constitution yet the Constitution is the only thing standing in their way of their their autocratic fascist regime.

A #birddivination for today from the dear awkward graceful flamingo, part of the series of 100. See more, along with the backstory, at almanacofbirds.org (where some, including this one, are also available as stand-alone prints)

The Pentagon is so well run and efficient, they decided they have nothing more important to do than spew bigotry and hate. 🚨 CBS: Hegseth Orders Navy to Review Ship Names Honoring Harvey Milk, Harriet Tubman, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Not knowing about things doesn’t mean they’re not happening.

CHICAGOIANS STANDING UP TO ICE!! Don’t let them erase this. Share this everywhere!

We, education, won.

The mass exodus that has whittled the voting section down to a fifth of its normal size came after a relentless campaign by the department’s political leaders to smear the work of the longtime attorneys, dismiss noncontroversial cases, and reassign career supervisors.

Lee: Would say it would be “illegal DEI” for a lesson plan on the Tulsa race massacre? McMahon: I’d have to get back to you Lee: Do you know what the Tulsa race massacre is? McMahon: I’d like to look into it more and get back to you on it.

Full transparency, we prefer leaders who actually read the bill before voting on it.

Is anyone else giving up hope that most of voting America is too mentally broken or old-fashioned stupid to understand that they're being fed a constant stream of lies by the GOP?

Minneapolis… San Diego… Folks are pushing back. This is only going to get worse.

Well not a surprise. China has jumped in and is feeding people in some areas that received grain from USAID. They didn’t by it from American farmers either. U S AID bought 2 billion a year from farmers.

Words fail to describe this . . . . .

Ukraine's top diplomat accused the UN of wasting time on trivial matters, while ignoring serious global issues, after the General Assembly approved an International Day of the Horse. ⤵️

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has ordered the Secretary of the Navy to rename the USNS Harvey Milk. Milk was a well known gay activist who was assassinated. What’s next? Order Leonardo and Michelangelo drawings removed from the Met?

Oh look another asshole to destroy our country. No Kings June 14th Stand up, fight back 💪🏼 #nokings

A State Court judge, a Member of Congress, givernment staff. If this administration wants to arest lawful acts of people in power, to citizens, to children, no one is safe. So silence isn’t an option.
