Legacy media is failing democracy. Rather than just complain, I did something about. Six years ago I started Democracy Docket from scratch. Now it has more than 400,000 subscribers. But to help protect democracy, it needs to grow and scale. Subscribing now. bit.ly/4qmEiFz
1/ We have a growing democracy problem hiding in plain sight: fake “public participation” flooding hearings and comment processes to manufacture opposition or support. It is astroturf, at scale, and it works because the penalty is basically zero. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy
This is an interesting piece about how the “Church Too” movement—exposing sex abuse by evangelical leaders—was inspired by the “Me Too” movement & overlapped in time with revelations about Jeffrey Epstein’s child sex trafficking operation. #BiblicalPatriarchy #ChurchToo … 1/

Meet “Tech News World”, a Facebook page that recently pivoted from spamming the platform with AI-generated movie posters to spamming the platform with AI-generated videos of war in the Middle East.
Sadly, “Tech News World” is not the only spammy account exploiting the violence for views and clicks.
He's been telling us straight up, how much of an incompetent, self-serving narcissist he is, from jump. Congressional Republicans and a large part of America, simply don't care. #TrumpIsCorrupt
When children die in war, real leaders show grief & accountability.
Trump says he’s willing to “live with it”, if a U.S. missile killed girls at a school in Iran.
That sentence alone should chill all of us
Little girls
A school
Girls’ lives matter no matter what country they’re born in

"The Trump administration agreed to stop pursuing a breakup of Live Nation and Ticketmaster as part of a settlement that blindsided state attorneys general in the middle of a trial."

Of course they did. 😒
Fox News apologizes for showing old video of a hatless Donald Trump at a dignified transfer ceremony. In fairness he in each he remains heartless.
This was not his take during the Biden admin.
Vance admits he lies publicly, and still got elected. Eating dogs and cats...? GTFO
CNN airs compilation of JD Vance on the campaign trail saying he would keep the U.S. out of war in the Middle East. "We're going to stop sending our young people to far away lands. We are not the policemen of the world. Our interests are very much in not going to war with Iran."
As millions of Americans were losing their SNAP benefits the Pentagon spent:
🔹️$6.9 million worth of lobster tails🦞
🔹️$15.1 million for ribeye steak 🥩
🔹️$2 million for Alaskan king crab 🦀
🔹️ and even $98,329 on a Steinway & Sons grand piano

This is absolutely maddening.
We “can’t afford” Medicaid, to help children with food insecurities or fund education but we can waste millions on these buffoons and their lavish lifestyles.
$25 mil on Surf and Turf for Kegseth
$200 mil for Kristi Noem’s mile-high-club.
Who put this MFer in charge of the world?
The Guardian does a good job of laying out the overwhelming evidence that the US was responsible for the bombing of the Minab school that killed 170 elementary school students. They also debunk the ridiculous claims that the carnage was caused by a mis-fired Iranian missile.

Sen. Martin Heinrich: “Remember when Republicans said we couldn't afford those tax credits for your healthcare?
Now they’re burning through almost a billion dollars a day on their Iran War”
Russia has provided Iran with intelligence on U.S. personnel and military targets and Trump responded by easing sanctions on Russia so they can sell all the oil they want and refill their financial coffers. (Maddow)
He is not working for America.
Russia has been sharing satellite imagery of U.S. warships and aircraft with Iran, helping Tehran target American forces.
Ukraine, in contrast, has deployed specialists and low-cost drone interceptors to help protect the U.S. and its allies.
Russia = our enemy 🇷🇺
Ukraine = our ally 🇺🇦
AOC came out swinging against age verification legislation and somehow the entire tech press seems to not have noticed?
Republicans are using kids as a smokescreen for what Big Tech lobbyists want: a national surveillance program to harvest our data with zero protections for people and their privacy.
We must fight this dangerous expansion of surveillance technology.
New in PN: The worst cabinet in history
"Even having one or two cabinet members as disastrous as Noem, Hegseth, Kennedy, or Bondi would be a stain on any administration; putting them all in one govt has created a kind of Bizarro World 1927 Yankees, an all-star team of incompetence and malevolence."
Follow the money: #ElonMusk & Trump LLCs benefiting from government contracts, stocks exploding on cue from Trump's own policy decisions. Don't forget the "blind" trusts that Trump Jr. manages. Grift and corruption of epic proportions and taxpayers are funding. #TrumpIsCorrupt
Thought I would have gotten used to it by now, but I’m still grappling with the realization of just how stupid the men running this country are.
The SAVE Act is a major attack on voting rights. It is not a genuine voter ID reform, but rather an attempt to suppress turnout in future elections.
Johnson: I think what we are learning from the Epstein files was a well-coordinated act of treason. If you think about how they use blackmail to get policymakers to act outside of the best interests of this nation and our Constitution, that’s treason.
Blocking US Intelligence agencies from warning Americans about terrorist threats here in America. Allowing Russia to give intelligence to Iran to target American soldiers.
Trump needs to be removed from office for dereliction of duty and being a threat to national security.
For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:
Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down
Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace
Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs
Folks, we’ve seen this all before.
Going all out on the fake job thing
Reporter: Did the US bomb an elementary school and kill 175 people?
Trump: Based on what I’ve seen, it was done by Iran.
Reporter: Is that true Mr. Hegseth?
Hegseth: We’re investigating.
Trump: They are very inaccurate with their munitions. It was done by Iran.
