Priztker: if federal agents fired upon journalists and protesters, when unprovoked, what would we call it? 

I don't think we'd have any trouble calling it what it is. Authoritarianism. 

So let's not pretend it's something else when it happens in our American cities.

Jimmy Kimmel isn't returning to the airwaves because of "thoughtful conversations" with Disney executives.

He's back because consumers sent Disney a clear message: selling out our fundamental rights is not an acceptable cost of doing business.

No one could have done a better job running for president in just 2½ months than VP Kamala Harris. No one.

See what she was up against straight out of the gate? Friends and frenemies…

It's weird how Tylenol caused autism (first diagnosed in 1943) before it was even invented (1955). What a clever drug.

Kamala Harris: He had no plan for actually bringing down costs and prices for the American people. He had very few plans for what he would actually do that was about the American people, and not his vengeance on his enemies.

Kamala Harris: "It feels chaotic, but what I would offer you is what we are witnessing is the swift implementation of a plan that was decades in the making. Project 2025 didn't just drop out of thin air. That's a product of decades of work. Federalist Society, Heritage Foundation ... "

The news of the week makes it sadly 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

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

It was very telling that for three days, none of the major TV anchors would have me on air one-on-one to talk about my firing from the Washington Post over Charlie Kirk.

The first offers were from
Black media, independent media, Substackers, and podcasters.

This is the first rodeo for a lot of people currently under threat for having dared to criticize Charlie Kirk, even while condemning the violence against him. Here’s some advice for trying to surviving it from someone who’s been here before.
Threatening Vulnerable People Is No Way to Mourn Someone Who Was Murdered
Those who had nothing to do with the violence against Charlie Kirk are being menaced--just like always.
