California – this Election Day, vote yes on Prop 50.

California’s Prop 50 says that if Republicans are going to abuse the system to try and hang onto power, we’re going to counteract that abuse and create a level playing field in the midterm elections.

Make a plan to vote yes on Prop 50.

When you publish a website that posts the names and photos of scholars who have written or said things you disagree with and encourage people to surveil and harass them, you are not, in fact, a “free speech” organization.
It is quite simply dishonest to describe TPUSA as a “free speech” organization and not even mention the “Professor Watchlist,” as NPR just did. Reporting on a crime does not entail adopting the victim’s views.

The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.

Life for Palestinians in Gaza has gotten worse under Trump, not better. So where are Jill Stein and Cornel West now?

They aren’t leading protests in DC outside the White House, no rallies. Almost like the whole 2024 thing was just performative.

This is 100% correct.
Pritzker: This is not about fighting crime. This is about the President and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.

"Newsom’s threat to retaliate in kind is not a divisive attack on good governance. It is, instead, the only hope for democracy. Bipartisanship right now is appeasement. Democrats cannot and should not hide behind neutrality and fairness as MAGA incinerates the remaining tatters of our republic."
Gavin Newsom's moment
Democrats have found their fight. Newsom is leading the charge.

Jordy: We’re seeing who the players are and who the pretenders are. Newsom’s showing what this country needs — not lip service, but urgency before 2026, 2028, and beyond. Gone are the days of “when they go low, we go high.” When they go low, you take them out by their knees — metaphorically.

Just because it's happening in slow motion doesn't mean it isn't happening. We are well on our way to being a full-fledged Christofascist nation, and it's frightening as fuck.

This is exactly why Dems get their ass handed to them by Trump's world. They have no clue how to leverage social media algos to their advantage.

What if Pam Bondi did decide to open an investigation into why I stopped posting on Twitter? Would the legacy media treat it with outrage or with skeptical bemusement?

Or would everyone just look away and hope it doesn’t happen to them next? www.democracydocket.com/opinion/im-n...

We too often feel helpless and hopeless. That’s what they want, they thrive in chaos. But here is a reminder: 250 years of America, and our generation will not be the one that fails her. Period. And in the rear view, it will seem worth it.

Dems should fight on every front.

If Texas steals 5 seats, Dem states should redistrict 30 GOP members out of their districts.

We should insist DOJ release the entire Epstein File.

Not only shouldn't we bring knives to a gun fight, if they bring pistols, we should bring machine guns.
