When I wasn't happy with big law, I built my own law firm to protect democracy.
When I saw what corporate overlords were doing to the media, I decided to build Democracy Docket. But I need your help for it to grow and thrive. Support its 22 person team by becoming a member today. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

This is because Nate Silver has 300K subscribers on Substack and Heather Cox Richardson has 2.7M. Mediocre men CAN'T STAND successful women, and even blame them for their own failures. Pathetic.

Other than the clear top-of-alphabet favoritism in this list (9 out of 20 have names that start between A and C? Typical biased media) this is a great list. Subscribe to The Onion, too, obviously, but this is a very good way to spend your money on good people.

Starbucks’ CEO makes 6,666x what the average @sbworkersunited.org barista does. It would take less than one day of sales to finalize a fair contract.
Baristas at Starbucks corporate stores nationwide are on strike to fight this corporate greed and get the fair contract they deserve.

TikTok will be co-owned by China and Trump allies, Paramount was sold to a pro-Trump billionaire who's also set to buy Warner Bros, X is owned by an apartheid-bred fascist, WaPo and Meta are owned by Trump-cowering billionaires, and Murdoch owns the Fox empire. Here's why media has a liberal bias.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

You can't kick millions off Medicaid without forcing hospitals across America to close, especially in rural communities.
People who've lost coverage will delay care and eventually head to the emergency room, uninsured.
Every Senator needs to vote NO on these Medicaid cuts.

The Garden of Gethsemane in deep blue Judea might seem like a strange place to meet a Herod supporter. But over the shouts of the apostles, you can hear whispers that Pilate is the reason it costs 30 pieces of silver to pay off a snitch.

The 22nd Amendment says it plain: “No person shall be elected to the office of the president more than twice.”
Bannon on Bill Maher, straight-up said Trump’s going for a 3rd term — and they’ve got a “team” working to circumvent the Constitution.
They’re not joking. They’re plotting. Believe them.

Trump administration invalidates Social Security numbers of immigrants, pushing them to "self deport"
The move by the Social Security Administration essentially cancels an immigrant's Social Security number and classifies them as dead.

What some people aren’t factoring into their analysis is the reality that companies were buying tons of inventory to beat the tariffs.
That’s cash taken from being able to invest or hire. In fact the probably cut costs and jobs as a result.
