For those of you who think to yourselves or say out loud to others, "Will our Democracy survive what's happening in our country? Will our government survive and be okay, be the same?

Set aside some quiet time now or when you can to listen to Marc. I can tell you I feel so much better because I did.

I feel very strongly that we must use the next three years to build a new opposition movement. I tried to lay out my reasons and what I think we need to do to make it happen.

After 10 long days, the hearing challenging Texas' gerrymandering ended. By the end, all of legacy media had vanished. But Democracy Docket stayed to keep you informed about just how far Republicans went to manipulate the state’s maps.

Huge mistake by Trump to let the 4'10 freak Stephen Miller take center stage during his Presidency. The more people hear and see from Mini Himmler the more they are repulsed. Plus the ICE raids are horrific and inhumane.

We’ve reported extensively on how the FDA allowed foreign drugmakers to send generic medications to the U.S. from factories with filthy labs and contaminated equipment.

This month, we’re digging deeper and could use your help. THREAD/

I have 5 year old and 17 year old grandsons who are autistic. I can't imagine the terror they would feel, actually I can.
This isn't America, this is Nazi fascism in 2025.

That clinches it. I am NEVER taking my American-Japanese children to the states to visit their relatives. Not happening. They can come visit us where it's safer.

A 15 year old boy with autism went missing earlier this week

He was selling fruit with his family in Springbranch when he disappeared

They filed a missing person’s report & begged the public to help find him

Turns out he was in a Houston ICE detention facility

They kidnapped a disabled child!

Dang! I was hoping since the CDC infectious disease detectives had been fired and knowing thatvTrump is traveling to the middle east tomorrow, he'd be the first US President to catch the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV), which originates in camels... IT'S A DEADLY DISEASE.

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

I was stunned to see several hummingbirds this morning ♥️

Hummingbirds may be tiny, but they’re incredibly strong with a high level of endurance. This makes them symbols of strength and adaptability.

Hummingbirds also can signify a visit from a departed loved one & the beginning of a new era.
