The teeny tiny No Kings things in very red areas are so huge
Say like five or six people show up. None of them knew each other before. Suddenly they’re all friends. And maybe from that you get a group that does longer-term organizing that can punch *way* above its weight considering where it is

I was sent this by a Georgian this morning. 2025 premiums vs 2026 premiums for someone making $65k a year.
Republicans in Washington did this.
This is what I'm fighting to stop. This is what’s at stake in this shutdown fight.

While the senile old man rides in carriages around castles, builds his ballroom, puts gold on everything, plans parades, attends a variety of sporting events, threatens people, and reads the scripts put in front of him, this psychopath is the one actually running the country.

My main observation from the last few hours of monitoring US social media is that Democrats are universally denouncing political violence and calling for calm while MAGA are escalating language and openly lusting for retribution against broad categories of people they identity as their enemies.

I know jumping to politically-advantageous conclusions is just what we do now, but its still striking how many right wing folks have immediately jumped to "violent leftist," as if there hasn't been a sustained, decadelong hate campaign against Charlie Kirk from those to his right.

Bluesky has been critical to Democracy Docket's growth and reach. Nate Silver is an idiot.
"Blueskyism" helped make The Onion one of the largest newspapers in the world in less than a year. If we had spent all of our time on Twitter, we'd be poorer, dumber and terminally ill with internet poisoning. He's just angry he's wasting away over there in a nazi agnostic lane that doesn't exist.

the thing about Trump and Putin meeting is that Russiagate was basically entirely correct and the fact that the media bought Bill Barr's Mueller Report cover letter saying "he didn't do it" hook line and sinker remains a national disgrace

Apparently MAGA voted to occupy Gaza and develop it after displacing the population, run mineral companies in Ukraine, make Iran great again by installing a pro-Trump regime, selling scenic federal land to developers, Trump crypto scams, record deficits, and a trade war.

People seem to think that we’re just done now? We bombed the shit out of three nuclear sites in a country we weren’t at war with, and that’s just… it?
Oh, my sweet summer children.

Remember when Trump specifically paused his tariffs on Chinese smartphones in April? Then had his kids announce he was selling a device (+ cellular service) two months later?
Businesses, um, build up inventories prior to launch👍

When a cabinet member announces "We are using the military to liberate an American city from its elected leaders," where do you go from there. What is left to say. The idea of that being anything short of a near-universal "Wait, what the fuck is going on" moment proves how far we've backslid.

Yet again, yes it's okay to be pissed that Democrats aren't doing more.
But framing Democrats as the only ones with agency while Republicans hold the balance of power and still get to whoops-a-daisy into authoritarianism is bullshit.
