Great Rustin quote. 👍🏾
Van Hollen’s trip to El Salvador is a form of embodied protest and helped put Trump’s illegal deportation of Abrego Gracia on the front page of the NYT two days in a row.

As Bayard Rustin once said, “The only weapons we have are our bodies, and we need to tuck them in places so wheels don't turn.”

I have seen a few questions regarding Democracy Docket:

1. It does not sell subscriber or member information or email addresses.

2. It is not part of Substack or ActBlue.

It is fearlessly independent, unapologetically pro-democracy. Subscribe now. newsletters.democracydocket.com/all-newsletters

Please and thank you.
As Bluesky has grown, I've seen a lot of backsliding on alt text. Please try to be considerate to others and include alt text with all of your images. It helps everyone. Indeed, in the "accessibility" setting in Bluesky you can set it to make sure you add alt text, which is a useful thing to do.

Really feel like I’m losing my mind: government OBVIOUSLY cannot punish an individual law firm for hiring someone it disfavors! It’s ludicrously unconstitutional and I feel like without a day of law school I could argue the case. And yet the best paid lawyers in the country are folding?

Herman Melville's "Moby Dick" has perhaps the most memorable opening line in all of Western literature: "I hope you motherfuckers like reading about whales"

Just overheard someone say, ‘Let’s just stream it.’ Took a deep breath. Counted to ten. Flipped the ‘Open’ sign back to ‘Closed.’ Maybe tomorrow will be better.

In case you don’t think your vote matters, Allison Riggs running for NC Supreme Court is currently ahead by 70 votes. A recount is likely. 1000s of votes will be thrown out because of a small change the GOP-led state legislature enacted in advance of the 2024 elections. Voter suppression is real.

Give me book recommendations that will give me me that cozy, ‘holidays are coming’ feeling (but it does not have to be holiday-themed). I’d love a nice mystery, something set in a magical snowy location, or anything that gives “hygge” vibes. #booksky

It’s super cool how the media is all just pretending Tulsi isn’t an Assad/Putin asset and apologist.

Look, I’m not saying all Trump supporters are Nazis but all Nazis are definitely Trump supporters.

My great aunt was a soul friend, and she passed away in 2016.

I have her annotated cookbooks, though, and this one had me giggling and missing her so much. For someone born in the 1920s she sounded pretty modern here.
