It has been a long and grueling week. Thank you to everyone who offered kind words of support. If you want to follow everything happening to democracy in court, while also supporting pro-democracy independent media, please sign up for Democracy Docket. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...

He nails it.

Democrats delivered the Postal Service Reform Act to fight for our postal workers and the Postal Service. Trump and DOGE just want to turn the clock back to when he was trying to ruin the Postal Service. We will not stop fighting for the Postal Service. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

"Next week, House Republicans will hold a major vote on Trump’s fiscal agenda. The House blueprint, which Trump backs, lays the groundwork for up to $880 billion in Medicaid cuts and tens of billions in cuts to food stamps." Everybody knows someone this will harm.

So far. Lots more job losses and suffering courtesy of republicans to come. #GOPfascism

The Trump Administration has cost our country over 22,406 American jobs. trumpcostsamerica.com

STATEMENT: “This Is The Move Of A Weak And Insecure Tyrant, Not A Strong Commander-in-Chief”

Literature is fairly clear that because autocracies - contra democracies - aren’t very responsive to general welfare concerns, tax policies will skew heavily to favour the small supportive elite over of the general public. That seems likely to track with US regime change.

DOGE technologists Edward Coristine—the 19-year-old known online as “Big Balls”—and Kyle Schutt are now listed as staff at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.

"Law enforcement agencies could use the NLEAD to check if an officer applying for a law enforcement position had committed misconduct" Trump? Turn it off... www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This is an excellent and timely factsheet on Ukraine, U.S. v. European security assistance, and other misunderstood or lied about aspects of the war, by our friends at @thestudyofwar.bsky.social. I'll summarize a few main points below, with additional sources of my own:

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

@kenmartin.bsky.social @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.org @vanhollen.senate.gov @schumer.senate.gov take notes.

@kenmartin.bsky.social @democrats.org Fire back. Every legislator should hold daily press conferences,have the thousands that are losing their jobs tell their stories. Use words like, “fascist,” “criminals,” “fuck” “shit” etc. Be real for once & let’s take this nation back. No mercy. #FightFascism

More of this everywhere all the time. #FightFascism

I want to see city halls full of rumpled retired people ready to skeletonize a recalcitrant congressperson in 30 seconds, all across America

If the fascists are tech overlords, then our resistance must be fueled by abstaining from consumerism & technology. We must collectively stop empowering them with our eyes, our minds, & our dollars. "I'm gonna tell you fascists, you may be surprised. People in this world are getting organized." 🎶

We refuse to let the oligarchs win and control us, and I feel a sea change (link to full video in reply)

Firing all of the JAGs (Judge Advocates General)—the top lawyers in each service branch—is just as bad as, if not worse than, firing (most of) the Joint Chiefs.

Fired: Admiral Lisa Franchetti, Chief of Naval Operations Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr., chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. James C. Slife, the Air Force’s vice chief of staff the top uniformed lawyers for the Army, Navy and Air Force

❌️ Elon Musk has got to go! Musk & Trump are the enemies of our democracy, bent on destroying every program keeping us safe, secure, informed & well. Outside a Hakeem Jeffries book tour event in Chicago, we call on the House Democratic leader to use *all his power* in DC to obstruct the MAGA agenda.

The poster child for white male mediocrity, Pete Hegseth, is firing qualified Black men and women from the military.

Remember when we had law enforcement that gave a shit about blatant corruption and integrity? The republicans and their voters sold this nation to Putin. Nice work traitors. Fucking spineless cowards. #GOPfascism #Felonocracy #republicantraitors

Boston area crafters, this looks like a wonderful opportunity if you're available.

DOJ tells Americans it’s totally cool to riot and bring your guns to rallies. I guess that’s what we should expect at all riots and rallies moving forward. Great work 🇺🇸.

Here are the Palestinian children that Zionism killed before they reached their first birthdays. Shared on X by Laila Al-Arian.

The ACLU has created a convenient form you can use to send messages demanding Congress check DOGE's rights violations, if you care to use it: action.aclu.org/send-message...

BREAKING: The Trump Justice Department is in court saying Elon Musk has NOTHING to do with DOGE… while Republicans in Congress are telling their voters he’s running it? Somebody’s lying, and we know exactly who.

NEW: A regional FEMA chief of staff took Elon Musk's Fork in the Road offer. He has proof of receipt. But they didn't honor it. Instead, they fired him 13 days later. Now, this retired Navy captain is speaking out. www.thebulwark.com/p/musk-doge-...

The majority of the US stands with Ukraine. Let them know @theguardian.com 🇺🇦 #FightFascism

Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” He goes on to ask if we suffered childhood trauma and concludes by suggesting we are suffering from “generational trauma.” This is my response. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

Wonder why there are pieces of this thread that don’t show up normally

Congrats to Team 🇨🇦! Great win!
