Oligarchy (noun):

A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

I have seen a few questions regarding Democracy Docket:

1. It does not sell subscriber or member information or email addresses.

2. It is not part of Substack or ActBlue.

It is fearlessly independent, unapologetically pro-democracy. Subscribe now. newsletters.democracydocket.com

Christ says what we do for “the least of these” we do for him — so where is Christ today?

Christ is the immigrant deported without due process.

Christ is the protester kidnapped in an unmarked vehicle.

Christ is the student in an overcrowded classroom in a defunded school.

“Are you worried?” That is always the first question.

“Of course I am worried,” I respond. “The president of the United States considers me an enemy and has promised retribution. I would be an idiot not to be worried. But I am not going to give in. I will continue to fight.”
I Worry, but I Fight
From Marc | Despite that worry, I cannot stop standing up for what is right. I cannot turn a blind eye to injustice.

This is wild. Oswald Mosley—who had Hitler at his wedding—in his newspaper “BLACKSHIRT” in 1933 next to a headline:
“Technocracy Seen by Fascism—American Support for Mosley Arguments.”

Until 1940, Technocracy, Inc. in Canada was led by Joshua Haldeman, Elon Musk’s grandfather.

#Easter is an important day for many and sharing a meal is a traditional part of this celebration. People like Betty who harvests carrots in CA’s Central Coast, make these sacred meals possible. #WeFeedYou

Yall wanna hear something extremely embarrassing? Before Trump’s election, a bunch of academics who lumbered rightward after being criticized by the left (Pinker, Dawkins, Krauss) wrote essays for a book that is coming out in July about the threats to academia from the left.

YALL, THE TITLE!!

Just a reminder that Trump/DOJ continuing to let Abrego Garcia sit in CECOT is *a crime*. Deprivation of rights under color of law is a crime. Was it an "error" at first? Maybe. But once they were aware of the error, and ordered by a judge to return him, and then refusing, it's willful 1/

To everyone replying “they voted for it” when we talk about immigrant rights:

The Hispanic community is NOT a monolith and 53% voted for Harris.

We organized, knocked on doors, and led weekly caravans for Harris-Walz.

Blanket statements erase the work of a community that showed up for democracy.

"The question is not do we fight or not fight, it's do we win or do we not win."

When Carville says 'win', he means 'win elections.'

Blind trust that elections can be won under autocracy is a failure of imagination. Inaction is NOT the answer.

To #SecureTheMidterms, we must #VerifyTheVote.
Watch me fight with Carville about everything

Rep. Jake Auchincloss isn’t mincing words: Trump and the GOP are tanking the economy, gutting healthcare, and cutting Veterans’ benefits—all to fund tax breaks for the wealthy.

And when Americans demand answers? Republicans hide from town halls.

Cowardice isn’t leadership.
