Today, I talked to a closeted young evangelical whose day job is to make life miserable for LGBTQIA+ folks.

I hope that she discovers the Jesus who hung out with lepers & prostitutes - the Jesus who commanded his followers to accept those of a different gender / sexual orientation (eunuchs).

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.

A shocking incident is raising alarms: ICE agents were reportedly on rooftops “shooting rubber bullets” at peaceful protesters who were simply “standing there flipping them off.”

This blatant abuse of power demands accountability. #BlueCrew #ICE #CivilRights #ProtestRights #UseOfForce

Did Dems walk into a shutdown "trap"? Or is Trump using the shutdown to continue doing all the authoritarian s**t he was going to do anyway?

Trump and Republicans up for reelection in 2026 are much weaker than they look right now. Rick Wilson has a message for Dems: do not budge one bit.

Black people in Chicago had their apartment building raided in the middle of the night, were detained for hours, and had their Fourth Amendment rights violated during an ICE operation that had nothing to do with them. Nah, they are not thrilled.

Last year they claimed “illegals” were voting, without any evidence.

They used fear mongering to push for voter suppression laws.

Now they claim “illegals” are getting free healthcare, again without any evidence.

So they can make healthcare unaffordable for millions of Americans.

Enough.
