Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

The Founders anticipated the possibility of a corrupt, venal, lawbreaking, wannabe monarch president.

What they did not expect is numerous people achieving prominent national office and not wanting to guard their own power. The combo of ego to run but pathetic absence of ego in office stands out.

We should have never thought anyone was coming to save us - we were always going to have to do that ourselves.

Right now we should be organizing for the midterms. All of 2026, we need to be focused on get out the vote campaigns and what to do if the administration tries to block voting access. 1/2

They abolished the House of Representatives ... solely to prevent the release of information about the president's best friend, the pedophile who ran a sex trafficking ring.
I really think that we need to talk more about the fact that Republicans have basically quietly abolished the House of Representatives

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.

This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.

All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Tonight's news makes 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

It’s happening. The takedown of Jimmy Kimmel is likely the start of a campaign to use the murder of Charlie Kirk as a pretext to use the power of the White House to wipe out Trump’s critics and his political opponents.

But we aren’t powerless. We can mobilize and organize. Now.

This doesn’t really sound like how you conduct a criminal investigation. Which is what DOJ does.

Tough to describe how evil this is.

WHEN IS THE NEXT MASSIVE NATIONAL PROTEST?

WHY HAS MOMENTUM SLOWED ON BUILDING PRESSURE NATIONALLY?
🚨NEW: The Trump admin moves to terminate Temporary Protected Status for HALF A MILLION Haitians, claiming despite all reality that Haiti is a safe country to return to — even though large portions of the country are ruled by vicious gangs and civil governance has collapsed.

The DOJ lawyer who made the mistake of answering the court's questions about Abrego-Garcia candidly (eg yes he was mistakenly deported, a fact the Administration already has acknowledged), which got him put on administrative leave, has now been fired, ending his 15-year DOJ career..

My communications with a friend high up in Dem donor circles…

It is significant that she notes that her Dem donor clients (like hundreds-of-millionaires, billionaires) are already aware of the increasing likelihood that Trump suspends the mid-term elections…

A general strike is the only option. Must get around 4% (or more, ideally) engaged in a committed COMPLETE shut-down of the nation… the more white collar people and urban people the better… need to see a density of protest that is consistent and nation-wide… every state capital, the nations capital

Trump wants to set rules for the way states run their elections and wants DOGE to audit voter databases. DOGE. Not an independent entity - his cronies.

Mike Johnson is talking about eliminating district courts.

These are not actions you see in a Democratic Republic.

Everything Trump is doing with Palestinians, Venezuelan and Muslim immigrants are test cases for broad authoritarian rule.

Americans don't realize he'll come after them as well. We never learn.

This is quite literally what I told my "it won't be that bad" friends would happen about 5 months ago...
If the Supreme Court ultimately agrees with what the gov't is arguing today, that the President has broad Article II powers that would permit it to deport people & there can be no judicial review, then literally no one is safe.

I need y'all to sit with this headline and understand what is being done to our community. They're trying to criminalize our very existence.

This is a campaign of eradication.
