That sound you heard was every GOP elected official with a lick of sense absolutely SHITTING themselves thinking about the visual of Mark Kelly back in uniform before a military court as Whiskey Pete's handpicked chucklefucks try to railroad him on bogus charges.

If you need another example of the difference between legacy media and independent pro-democracy media, compare The Washington Post and Democracy Docket's coverage of the same story. ("controversial video"--WTF.)

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.

The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.

We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.

We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

It is also quite possible that 2025 will set a new record for the latest first freeze. There has still not been a freezing temperature this Fall, and none are in the seven-day forecast. The current record latest is November 22.

"Accountability is coming." That's a good campaign slogan for Democrats in 2026 and 2028.

Today we won a big victory in Texas but the fight for democracy is not over. We all need to steel ourselves for the battles ahead. We won't win them all, but we can never lose sight of what we need to do to prepare fee and fair elections.

The Founders were so concerned about bribery that the Constitution forbids it three separate times. Two emoluments clauses ban officials—unambiguously including the president—from accepting things of value, plus bribery is the only named impeachable offense besides treason.

Unprecedentedly corrupt.

My mistake has been trying to explain what "fascism" is to people who don't care what it is.

So I'm going to try something else. Let's do this as a practical thought exercise.

If America *were* fascist *today* - what would you have to do differently in your daily life? /1

Nearly a decade ago I had to explain to my young daughter and wife that we were about to be broke because people were determined to prosecute me and then fire me from my teaching job. They, and other family members, encouraged me to keep speaking out.
That was separate from the death threats.
This is a whole lot of sentences to just say “Well, nothing is happening to ME so I don’t see why we’re up in arms.”

Check your privilege.

The Honduran-born Charlotte resident filed a police report after the officers let him go.

Racial profiling, no warrant, no due process; but what else can one expect from a regime committing extrajudicial murder on the high seas?

Trump's gotta go.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

I don't think legacy media is reading the room correctly on the Epstein Files. Many of us are asking why they have ignored this story for the last decade? Why did they dismiss all of us who were concerned that Trump might be compromised? And where is their fucking contrition and apology now?

The vast majority of poll-sniffing punditry just refuses to take on board this very basic feature of human psychology. People make vibes decisions based on factors they're probably not fully conscious of. And then they cast about for a respectable-sounding rationalization for that decision.

The most swing state of the swing states, PA, just saw an effort to remove three Dems from the PA Supreme Court.
All three came through with 60 percent of the vote. That's how you do it: Vote.
Is it also a good time to remind you of the concerted effort by individual states to put forth “fake” electors….and as yet no one has been held accountable for that little scheme. Who’s to say they don’t do it better this time around.
