It’s the 60th Anniversary of “Bloody Sunday” at Selma, and thus the 10th anniversary of President Obama’s speech there, my favorite of all his public oratory, although it reads differently now. 🧵

Anyone who believes in liberal democracy must unequivocally recognize the second Trump administration’s illiberal nature and develop a democratic defense strategy, write Maciej Kisilowski and Anna Wojciuk.
Why Are We Surprised by the Trump-Putin Alliance?
MAGA’s ideology aligns more closely with authoritarianism than liberal democracy.

Donald Trump targeted AP and legacy media did nothing.

Donald Trump has now targeted two large law firms and Big Law is silent.

You all read Martin Niemöller's poem “First They Came.”

So, I ask you -- What are you doing?

We spent nearly 8 minutes this morning trying to set the record straight on a number of health matters.

I’d expect the Surgeon General or NIH Director to do this, but since they’re not, here it is in 4 clips.

PERFECT metaphor, again today: the Trump Plan for our country-“Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly.” Nice work F-Elon! 🤡

Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” He goes on to ask if we suffered childhood trauma and concludes by suggesting we are suffering from “generational trauma.” This is my response. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath.

I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

On MLK Day,1/20/25, Dr. King’s take on “where we go from here” in 1958 is prophetic. As we watch the intentional and divisive assault on 250 years of slow progress towards being “a more perfect union” that begins today, it will be time for “vigorous and positive action,” not apathy or complacency.
