Tomorrow is a critical day for democracy in court. Compare how the Washington Post framed it vs Democracy Docket.

Right now, fearless, pro-democracy media is more important than legacy media platitudes. Sign up now to say informed. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

I suspected as much, and here we are.
They robbed President Carter, Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and Vice President Kamala Harris.

That’s exactly what they did.

Republicans have been illegally negotiating with foreign governments to undermine democrats electorally for decades.

Reagan did it in 1980 with the Iranians, and Nixon did it in 1968 with the Vietnamese.

If you want to help those fired from CDC over the weekend, the CDC Mutual Aid Network is helping folks with emergency rent, groceries, etc.

altCDC gets no funds from donations, but we can verify they are legit and funds go directly to those impacted.

We're collecting resources for furloughed CDC workers (and other feds!) on our new Shutdown Survival Guide page. Check it out (and let us know if we've missed something!) www.cdcresourceportal.org/resources/sh...

🚨The absence of media coverage of this natural disaster in Alaska, the lost/missing people, and the destruction of the aftermath is up to us to share. Please help if you can - even if it is just spreading awareness. There is no FEMA going to help them. 1/2

This is dedicated to those who believed DJT and legacy media coverage that Project 2025 was nothing to be concerned about.

Also, this isn’t legal.

A reporter asked the chair of the Nobel Peace Prize committee why Trump didn’t win, and the guy basically said it’s because he has no courage or integrity. Absolutely brutal.
