They're about to shut down the government to protect the Epstein Files from disclosure. Whatever is in the files must be so unhinged as to be beyond imagination.

Trump just designated “Antifa” as a terrorist organization, on par with ISIS and Al Qaeda. As a reminder, “antifa” is short for “antifascist”.

They will use this lie to surveil, imprison, and kill Americans on the left.

This may be our Reichstag Fire moment. Wake up.

Tonight's news makes clear that the legacy media is fully capitulating. I started Democracy Docket in 2020 to be fearlessly independent and pro-democracy.

It will never bow down. It will never give in. It will never compromise

Another shameful action by the Washington Post. Not only does Democracy Die in Darkness, Democracy Dies in Fear and Cowardice. The media needs to stop bending the knee in the exercise of free speech, without fear or favor from those in power. Hateful rhetoric needs to be checked by truth and facts.

WisDom @spudchapp.bsky.social · 26d

The First Amendment only appears to exist for the right as the media is self-censoring any criticism of hateful speech or MAGA ideology generally. Trump’s intimidation and politics of retribution have put the First Amendment on its death bed. We need free political discourse without fear of harm.

WisDom @spudchapp.bsky.social · 26d

Media companies (MSNBC, WAPO, etc) continue to show cowardice by firing employees who are critical of Charlie Kirk’s hateful rhetoric. Violence is no solution to our political discord, and Kirk did not deserve to be shot, but criticism of his views and ideas are critical to our political discourse!

Today’s act of political violence in Utah against Charlie Kirk is absolutely disgusting and unacceptable.

We don’t have to agree on everything, but we should all agree on this: political violence is wrong, and has no place in our democracy
