Tonight's news makes clear that the legacy media is fully capitulating. I started Democracy Docket in 2020 to be fearlessly independent and pro-democracy.

It will never bow down. It will never give in. It will never compromise

Every major talent that works for ABC and Disney should refuse to show up for work until Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated.

Marvel movies need to shutdown. Ditto the sitcoms.

Collective boycott.

Corporations love money more than anything,& this will harm them and force them to do the right thing.

One of the reasons Dem moderates should get solidly behind Mamdani is that it’s one of the best possible chances to show this kind of thing doesn’t matter anymore. Afraid of the Times calling YOU a socialist? Show em Dem voters are done with this shit

This is where we’re at folks…
This kind of clear, direct explanation of what’s happening is basic journalism and yet it’s surprising to hear it stated so forthrightly in this mealy-mouthed era.
Cuts have consequences, illustrated. As seen on TV 📺

“I don’t even recognize you, Secretary Rubio.” This is so well done. Respectfully calling out a colleague who so pathetically sold his soul. Take a moment, listen, and share.👇
Rosen to Rubio: "I'm not even mad anymore about your complicity in this administration's destruction of US global leadership. I'm simply disappointed. And I wonder if your proud of yourself in this moment when you go home to your family ... I know you know this in your heart."

Klobuchar on Stephen Miller saying the administration is considering suspending habeas corpus: "He's doing it because they don't want to focus on what's really in front of them, and that they have created havoc in our economy ... no, they're not gonna reverse habeas corpus in the Congress."

ICE needs to be shut down now. Complete fascists.
🧵Update: In Worcester, MA, ICE dragged a mother away from her baby & family—without identifying themselves or showing a warrant. She’s now in San Antonio. The community tried to stop them. They were met with force. Read it. Share it. Never forget it

20 ARMED men bust into your home. They claim they’ve got a search warrant.

They make you stand in the rain w/your 3 daughters in their underwear.

They seize your phones, laptops, your cash life savings.

The suspects listed on the warrant? They don’t live there anymore.

I fear this is right 👇
I see the already historically unpopular president is exploring how to get the military invovled in “assisting” local law enforcement just a few weeks before the real shortages caused by his inept economic policy start hitting. Probably nothing to worry about.

This!!! It’s absolutely maddening.
At this juncture I’d like to point out:
* we’re on the brink of a golden age of medical healing
* there’s enough money in the world to solve every problem in the world
* a united approach could stop the climate crisis
But a small group of sociopaths seeking personal power are going to throw it away.

This is why showing up is everything.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

Gayle King's defense of Jeff Bezos is so far off base. Her idea of space exploration making life better on Earth is that we send our garbage to space? How about we figure out how to make less of it? The arrogance and entitlement is astounding.
