Wow. An ad that’s a full-throated understanding and specific support of the LGBTQIA+ community. I’m impressed to the level of “Can this ad truly be coming from a Democrat?” level of impressed

They're dismantling the entire apparatus of the State as we speak.

The fight is NOW.

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

Yeah. TikTok is out. It's an arm of the ruling fascist party at this point.

Huh: TikTok took down my 8-second video featuring this image of Debbie Brockman — the news producer just detained by Trump’s CBP agents — saying it violates the “joy of TikTok”

There will be nothing left of government but the cult leader and his gestapo.

And Americans just sit there and watch it happen.

Mind-blowing.

Donald Trump is breaching the Constitution and breaking the law.

A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections.

We need to stand up together and speak up.

Country fans are upset with Zach Bryan after he criticized ICE in a song.

But don't let it be known that Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, and Johnny Cash all despised fascism and leaned heavily to the left.

And yet only one side seems interested in fighting it.

They've been planning this for years, while Democrats keep trying to sing Kumbaya.

This is not going to end well.

Oh, #ableg & #cdnpoli

I hope you’ve all seen this. If not, you should.

Eby is 💯 correct. This “pipeline” is more Danielle Theatre. It’s a means to eventually blame BC & Ottawa for her gov’ts failure. It’s a means to distract from the AHS scandal. It’s pandering to her base.

IT. IS. NOT. REAL.

Danielle Smith loves to pick fights but if I were her I might have thought twice about picking one with a guy who is 6’7”, spits facts, and absolutely nailed the real reason she’s shilling for a pipeline.

It's one of the things people DESPISE about the left - the moralizing and the scoldings.

Hardly surprising.

No one is covering the GOP's scheme to rig congressional maps for 2026 as closely as Democracy Docket. It is providing gavel to gavel coverage of the ongoing hearing over whether the Texas gerrymander will be in place for the midterms.

Another polite protest?

They're going to take everything, and then they're going to kill half the country.

All while the left keeps it classy and polite!

I'm convinced that not a SINGLE FUCKING DEMOCRAT has read Project 2025.

It's not dementia - it's their goddamn plan.

They were even nice enough to write it out for them, but nope!

Everything's a surprise!

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.
