I am a retired rocket scientist frustrated with the state of our democracy.
My frustration led me to develop an idea for an opposition organization based on @timothysnyder.bsky.social idea for a “shadow cabinet”.

The BBC joins a long list of media companies now obeying in advance. I can't say I'm surprised or at this point even angry. It is a structural flaw in legacy media
All I can do is promise that Democracy Docket will never bow down or bend a knee. It will remain unapologetically pro-democracy.

NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."
BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

Trump’s Fury at BBC Gets Unnerving Results with Pro-MAGA Edit Stunner
First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?

Was editing a piece to not *overclaim* that Trump was behaving like a medieval king in trying to prosecute opponents and then he posts this. Well, here’s the piece: www.ifyoucankeepit.org/p/the-oldest...

A Z-blogger highlighted the ineffectiveness of Russian electronic warfare systems on combat aircraft, causing massive losses. None of the systems, touted by the Russian military as "the best in the world," could reliably protect their planes in actual combat.

You’d think Trump doesn’t want a peace prize.
Instead of weakening the Kremlin's negotiating position, Trump has weakened our sanctions for 10 months and counting by letting evasion go unchecked.
Congress must review any proposed unwinding of sanctions instead of letting Trump cede leverage without achieving a just peace.

I am ashamed and embarrassed of the US government. This simply rewards criminal aggression and sets the stage for the next war while enriching Trump. I know it is an extremely difficult situation, but I hope Ukraine and Europe can reject this dangerous joke of a plan from a joke of a president.

This man's entire family was killed in Russia's intentional strikes on civilian housing. Asking people like this man to live a life occupied by a force that wants you not to exist is a mockery of the word peace. If this is peace, then up is down, life is death.

Anything Dummkoff touches turns to crap.
🇺🇸‼️🇺🇦 Bloomberg: Dmitriev and Witkoff drafted the plan during an October meeting in Miami, which was also attended by Kushner.
Rubio was fully informed only after the document had already been created. Trump himself learned about it at the last moment, but once he was told, he quickly endorsed it.

ICE is the most dangerous threat to public safety. They are homegrown terrorists and serial criminals.
When this is over they should all be arrested and tried for domestic terrorism, abuse of power, kidnapping, assault, violations of human rights, attempted and aggravated murder.
