Garcia: If you are a whistleblower at the FBI, at the DOJ, if you worked hard to put the files together and are seeing your work now being hidden by your own DOJ, contact the oversight committee. We have whistleblower protections.

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

Still in a state of shock trying to process the tragic loss of one of the most gifted men in the entertainment industry & his wife when the Embarrassment-in-Chief disgraces common human decency with this repulsive, deranged statement.

After Marcelo Gomes da Silva was arrested by ICE on his way to volleyball practice in Milford, he made a promise to the men he shared a cell with: He’d be a voice for immigrants unfairly detained.

He's one of Boston Globe Magazine’s Bostonians of the Year.

Watch this. Then remember that the president doesn’t care. He cares that his old ass gets richer in the hand full of years he may have left.

And his sick rich friends. The most corrupt evil man to ever serve as president is ignoring real evil
💔 A European Parliament interpreter could not hold back tears during the speech of 11-year-old Roman Oleksiv from Lviv.

The boy survived a missile strike on Vinnytsia on July 14, 2022, which killed his mother - it was the last time he saw her alive.

At some point if you’re the government, & you understand what doing justice means, you let this case go. If a grand jury won’t indict, a trial jury definitely won’t convict. But it’s hard to move on when the boss wants to get revenge. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

HUGE appreciation for the local Indivisible groups in Indiana who have been working for weeks and weeks on this, meeting with legislators, testifying, protesting, calling, advocating. Pressure works!!!
🎉 BREAKING: WE DID IT! 🎉

After days of intense pressure from D.C., the Indiana Senate REJECTED the mid-decade gerrymandered map!

This victory belongs to every Indivisible member, every activist, and every Hoosier who called, emailed, and showed up.

Good headline. It’s unlikely that this will be successful but she should be embarrassed that she’s being hoisted by her own petard.

In addition to donating to, or subscribing to, news organizations that are investigating the backsliding, if you're a subject expert, respond to interview requests from journalists who work for news organizations, however small, that are producing political accountability journalism.
Use your memberships and money.

Join organizations that defend democratic norms.

Cancel business with those that openly attack them.

Even small donations to local media, NGOs, and community groups matter.

Subscribe to news organizations that are investigating the backsliding.

This is the most important thing you will read today. Excellent advice on how we can make a positive difference in our fight for democracy in AB, by @jaredwesley.ca .
People often ask: what can ordinary people do to stop populists like Trump and Smith from running roughshod over democratic norms?

Populists rely on the widespread perception that their actions are supported by "the majority" and "common people."

Anything that punctures that myth helps. +

If you ever feel yourself looking south of the border to the U.S. and thinking “why aren’t Americans in the streets over the destruction of their democratic institutions,” you can look no further than your own backyard in Alberta for the answer.

We are there. What will YOU do to show your dissent?
This is among the most democratically dangerous things Danielle Smith has said.

She wants to remove all checks and balances on her power and projects herself as the embodiment of "the people."

We have left the realm of liberal democracy in this province.
Smith doubled down on her anti court rhetoric today...

She even seemed to suggest that federally appointed judges couldn't render impartial rulings and that she believed her interpretation should always be above theirs.
