BEWARE THE TECHNOZOMBIE APOCALYPSE:

Elon Musk’s stormtroopers are hollowing out and replacing the innards of the DOJ, FBI, Office of Personnel Management, Treasury Department, and dozens of other federal agencies with technocrats loyal to him and his frontman Donald Trump.

It’s an inside coup.

Each time I have sat down to write something since the election, I am bothered by this recurring phrase that I simply cannot get out of my head.

So, I am going to just say it out loud: we are on our own. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-a...

Trump is doing everything Putin wants him to do: abandoning our nation’s core values, attacking longtime allies, and picking Tulsi Gabbard for a critical national intelligence role. Putin has us right where he wants us, with his puppet as our President.

America first?

These self-identified Christians are celebrating the separation of parents from their children and spouses from one another; cheering families being torn apart, lives being violently uprooted, and human beings being terrorized at school, work, and church.

I founded Democracy Docket to expose GOP attacks on democracy. When Trump takes the oath of office, it will expand to meet the moment.

Democracy Docket is fearlessly independent and unapologetically prodemocracy. It will not back down. It will never obey. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...

Trump previously signed an Executive Order banning TikTok, worried it would ruin his reelection chances.
If he "saves" it, he will have simply undone what he originally did—keeping his pattern of creating a non-existent threat, creating an unnecessary emergency, and then taking credit for fixing it.

Goodreads is owned by Jeff Bezos. A better alternative is StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform. And before y’all start, you can transfer all your Goodreads data to Storygraph so you literally have no excuse.
