Never forget that when Bondi was appointed, Democracy Docket immediately called her out while The Washington Post gave her a thumbs up.

If you value independent, pro-democracy media that won't bow down or obey, support Democracy Docket today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

If you haven’t seen it, this footage from @apnews.com is incredibly important.

The intent here seems unmistakable, in two ways: (1) just read the genocide convention, here it **absolutely** is, and (2) this level of infrastructural destruction is, no question, meant as pre-development demolition.

People think we’d need to cover half of Australia in solar panels — the truth is much different. Replacing all coal power with solar would use less than 0.016% of our land, smaller than Kangaroo Island. The challenge isn’t space, it’s political will, grid upgrades & storage. ☀️⚡ #Solar #Lithium #LFP

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

That's why Portland's response has been awesome. They're making ICE and the troops look ridiculous. Just being Portland at them.

OPINION: Today, I have a few things to say about that putz Stephen Miller.

Trump's very own Wormtongue is goading him to declare martial law

Today, I have a few things to say about that putz Stephen Miller. First, he’s been on TV a lot lately, because that’s how he pours more poison onto the president’s already-poisoned brain. He doesn’t whisper lies into the ear of the old and demented sovereign the way Wormtongue does in Tolkien's epic...

Indicting your political enemies because they’re your enemies, not because they’ve committed crimes, is unAmerican.

You know what fascism looks like? Attorney General Letitia James getting criminally indicted on literal trumped-up charges by the criminal who she fought to hold accountable for the actual crimes he committed and is now using the full power of the US govt to seek vengeance.

BREAKING: A federal judge found ICE violated a consent decree prohibiting ICE from arresting people without warrants or probable cause in Illinois and five other states. The court extended the decree until February 2, 2026, giving a tool to fight against ICE’s abuses of warrantless arrests.
