Just a reminder that in December I warned that Donald Trump would pardon the Jan. 6 defendants and that some of them would form the core of a new pro-Trump militia movement.

Along the way @democracydocket.com added a daily newsletter and most recently premium content. What it has not added are outside investors. It owes nothing to corporate interests or external financial backers. It hosts its own website so that it can never be shut down by a platform like Substack.

Each time I have sat down to write something since the election, I am bothered by this recurring phrase that I simply cannot get out of my head. So, this time I am going to just say it out loud: we are on our own. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-a...

Martin Luther King Jr. said that “the ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge.” We are in a time of challenge. The question for every leader, every citizen is where do you stand?

I founded Democracy Docket to expose GOP attacks on democracy. When Trump takes office, it will step-up to meet the moment. Democracy Docket is fearlessly independent and unapologetically pro-democracy. It will not back down. It will never obey. Join us: www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...

And yet, everyone is acting like a sentence if unconditional discharge is normal or that prosecutors asking for that doesn't also cause "damage to the public perception of the criminal justice system."

I realized today that I am more powerful than Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk. I can say Fuck You Donald Trump. They may be richer but I am more powerful. And that is a trade I would make every single day.

Should we continue to encourage kids to go to college ? Or push them to take up a trade ? I believe in college. Learning how to learn, IMO, is a critical life skill. Being exposed to people of different backgrounds, makes yiu wiser Qualifier- it should be a school you can afford.

Trump is a bully and bullies prey on the weak. They understand the power of fear and exploit it. Capitulating to Trump now — even before he has been sworn in — makes you more vulnerable, not less. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/now-...

It is hard to recall a period where the legacy media did more to undermine itself than the month since the election. A lack of courage and false neutrality broke trust. Meanwhile, independent pro-democracy outlets like Democracy Docket are seeing rapid growth. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...
