ICE agents don’t care that there’s a baby in the car, shattering the baby with broken glass promotes their terrorism!
Should this should go viral until someone can identify these evil thugs?

Another big tech company capitulated today as YouTube agreed to pay $24.5 million to settle a bogus lawsuit brought by Trump.
Here's what I can promise you: Democracy Docket will never bow down. It will never compromise. It will never obey.

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.

Newsom: "He doesn't play by a different set of rules. He doesn't believe in the rules. As a consequence, we need to disabuse ourselves of the way things have been done. It's not enough to just hold hands, have a candlelight vigil, talk about way the world should be...we have got to meet fire w/fire"

Yet another reason Ed Martin should never have been in place as the US attorney in Washington DC, even as an acting. He doesn’t understand that the president pardon power only extends to federal prosecutions, not state ones.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

Chief Justice Roberts, my friends are bitterly divided about you.
Half of them, I hate to say, say you're a partisan hack who churned out rulings that will benefit the GOP but destroy the lives of so many regular Americans.
The other half, however, just thinks you're a sociopath.
Who's right?

"So here's the plan -- we impose massive tariffs on the nations that sell us food."
"Hmm."
"But it's OK, because we just rely more on states like California that grow a lot of the same things."
"Oh, I guess that ..."
"And then we go to war with California."
