"For me, the answer now lies in refusal, the withdrawal of participation from systems that require dishonesty as the price of belonging."

Today I am resigning from the National Science Board and the Library of Congress Scholars Council.

I wrote about my decision in TIME.

Yeah so the Constitution isn’t really in effect right now

The president’s opponents, whoever they are, cannot expect a return to the Constitution as it was.

"Back the Blue" and everything associated with it, only applies to MAGA when law enforcement assault or murder Black and Brown people.

Of course, when mostly white domestic terrorists assault police officers, the narrative goes out the window.

Back the Blue is a fucking lie.

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it.

“When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.”

House Republicans are celebrating pardons issued to a bloodthirsty mob that violently assaulted police officers on January 6, 2021.

What happened to backing the Blue?

Far right extremists have become the party of lawlessness and disorder.

Don’t ever lecture America again.

About anything.

15 years ago today, the Supreme Court gave billionaires and special interests unprecedented power to rig our democracy with its disastrous Citizens United decision. Yesterday, Donald Trump was sworn in, ushering in the wealthiest Admin in American history. Citizens United paved the way for Trump II.

Trump just pardoned these people.

Don’t ever tell me Republicans “back the blue” again.

Anyone who says there wasn’t enough water in the reservoirs to fight the California wildfires NEEDS to watch this & help stop misinformation. Can we please get back to uniting as a country when there are catastrophic disasters? Lying only disrupts efforts to help people in need.

The devil is in the details.
Channels films where people are stopped and asked for their papers.
Imagine a society where neighbors were turning in neighbors, accusing them of crimes to get them put in concentration camps or the implications of suspending the Constitution or ignoring certain parts, like the 8th & 14th Amendments.
That's what the Laken Riley Act will do.

Each time I have sat down to write something since the election, I am bothered by this recurring phrase that I simply cannot get out of my head.

So, I am going to just say it out loud: we are on our own. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-a...

Congratulations to Mike Johnson for trying to pressure the House Ethics Committee into burying a report that found the then-nominee for attorney general had engaged in sexual activity with a minor.

Recently took a peek at Twitter and the disinformation is getting substantially more dangerous. Someone could get killed.

The tactics of constantly repeating outright lies, targeting specific people, repurposing years-old footage and presenting them as new is getting to another level. It’s scary.

Jessica: Biden oversaw the best recovery in the G-7 by far and away. Unemployment in this country is lower. He extended the number of people who got access to affordable healthcare, medicaid expansion. We're producing more oil than any other time..
