Here is a list I recently sent to premium members of what each of us can do to stand up for democracy and defend our elections. Democracy Docket is dropping the paywall and publishing it because we must all feel the power we have to stand up to Trump and protect our democracy.

The founding truth of America is we have no king. The founding truth of America is under comprehensive attack, and it deserves a defense from everyone loyal to the constitution.

Correct. If the birthdate field contains corrupt or mismatched data, it defaults to 1875-05-20, which serves as a flag. May 20, 1875, is the day the international standards and metrics treaty was signed. Everything is a conspiracy when you don’t know how anything works.

lawyers: your bat signal has been activated
The American Bar Association has just called upon every attorney, regardless of their political views, to join them & stand up for the rule of law & at minimum insist that our government "follow the law."
Every lawyer has an ethical responsibility to do so.

This is important. Not because Miller will ever be consistent in his pleadings for presidential power but because it’s a public service to demonstrate to anyone who might entertain a shadow of a doubt that there’s no neutral principle here. He wants power for his guy, full stop.

Maybe its a good time for a little Executive Order (EO) primer, a few wee tools for sorting wheat from chaff so it seems like less of a deluge. Item 1. EOs have to comply with the Constitution & laws, including acts of Congress. Any that don't will face long court battles before anything changes. /1
Once inaugurated, President Trump plans to sharply redirect federal policy on immigration, the federal work force, energy and the environment, the economy and trade, gender issues and diversity, equity and inclusion programs. Follow live updates on his executive orders.

This is good, and inspiring. "Do I think democracy makes it through another Trump administration? Only if democracy supporters stand up for norms and institutions, and resist falling down the path of cynicism and hopelessness. It only takes one person to do the right thing."

The truth is many, many men in soccer have the same deeply misogynistic attitudes, but are too embarrassed to be so public about them. Time to clean house. https://deadspin.com/luis-rubiales-fifa-spain-jennifer-hermoso-kiss-wwc-2023-1850777846

I should have had more faith in Scott. Gabe Speier with his first save. Get it, Gabe.
I’m not convinced the Mariners have enough pitchers to make it to the 9th inning today.
