Good for Chuck Redd for saying no to Trump’s authoritarianism. That’s was courage looks like.

“Rather than asking who is going to be the inheritor of the Trump mantle and the so-called Maga movement, we may be talking in a year or so about which candidates can escape the odious distinction of having been connected with Trump.”

I wrote this a year ago and it hit a nerve. It is still relevant today:

Each time I have sat down to write something I am bothered by this recurring phrase that I cannot get out of my head. So, this week I am going to just say it out loud: we are on our own. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-a...
We Are on Our Own
From Marc | Our institutions are not going to save us. Only we can do that.

Religious institutions have a long history of being allies with authoritarian governments.

America has 925 billionaires as of this year. Collectively they have a record $6.9 trillion in wealth.

The bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth.

When 925 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Republicans outright REFUSED to stop your health care premiums from skyrocketing in January—and now, millions of Americans are being kicked off their health care coverage altogether.

Hallelujah!
A Christmas week legal miracle--one that those of all faiths can enjoy:

Trump's targeting of our client @markzaidesq.bsky.social incl pulling his security clearance was enjoined as unconstitutional retaliation

A great win for him, for us @democracydefendersfund.org & for the superstar legal team👇

It’s outrageous that Trump’s DOJ has illegally withheld over 1 million documents from the public.

It’s the year 2025 and Americans have to watch a bootlegged international version of a news program because it was censored here in our country to protect a criminal president.

Imagine interviewing a victim of torture and independently confirming the details of his torture and then being told you can’t broadcast it because the people who ordered the torture wouldn’t give their side of the story.

A key to understand how the Bondi DOJ may be trying to hide information on other men implicated in Epstein's crimes:

Note how Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche's letter to Congress says DOJ is redacting information not only permitted by the Epstein Act but also ... the Privacy Act.⬇️

Maria has been accused over the years of fabricating her story that she had gone to the FBI. After finding the document in the trove, I called her. She broke down in tears.

HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files:

Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996.

The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed.
