On a rainy October 11th, Community members gathered outside Jeremy Cooney’s office to demand he sponsored the MELT act.

The MELT Act prohibits the use of masks by local, state, and federal law enforcement officers, making it harder on ICE to act with impunity and spread fear.

“[Trump's Gaza plan] is a proposal really for the Gaza Riviera… A proposal for… colonization, permanent occupation & siege.”

Palestinian-American lawyer Noura Erakat tells @premthakker.bsky.social how Trump’s Gaza plan is a mechanism to shut down advocacy for Palestine.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

It's very important to understand this phrase. If this doesn't get us out on the streets in VERY LARGE numbers on October 18 (and whenever possible), the 🇺🇸 as we know it for nearly 250 years Dill cease to exists. FACT.

Please take a minute to read and repost widely. Thank you.

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.

Exactly. They're talking about extending the age to receive benefits again. If they had their way, we'd all just die before receiving any of it. I retired at 62 because they had already extended it from 65 to 67 and I didn't trust them to not do it again.

Pritzker: “The federal government is not communicating with our state…It’s unconscionable…They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them.”
