Gen. Grynkewich: "What I've observed over the course of studying air power in history is that any time you attack a civilian population, you usually end up finding that it just hardens their resolve."

Jake Lang, the white supremacist leader of this violent rally, was pardoned by Trump after participating in January 6th.

Imagine if Democrats had pardoned someone who then led a violent attack on Republican mayors?

It'd be 24-7 news. Our media institutions all bend the knee to the right-wing.

Authoritarians will stop at nothing to feel safe. Since they have no concept of public welfare and consider everyone an asset to be used and discarded, they will easily enter into a military conflict without a long-term strategy, regardless of the casualties it causes.

This moron is surrounded by sycophants who keep showing him false data and stroking his ego.

It's the Emperor Wears No Clothes, but written by the most violent, psychotic, ignorant people on Earth.

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

Legacy media is failing democracy. Six years ago, I decided to do something about it. I started Democracy Docket from scratch.

Today it has 400,000+ subscribers. But to protect democracy, it needs to grow. Subscribe now: bit.ly/4qmEiFz

CBS obtained video of the DHS killing of an unarmed man in Texas that DHS concealed for nearly a year, which clearly contradicts claims that he violently rammed anyone. He is shot with his brake lights on, car not moving or barely moving. Another DHS crime.

The face of the Republican Party.
And yet he's still in the senate. This is the degree of incompetence running the USA along with Trump.

I am frankly more concerned about the apathy of the American public and even more importantly the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party.

This is not a dress rehearsal. Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration.

Autocrats always find way to contribute to entice people to give up their morals.

That’s why it’s so important for all of us to be aware of when they’re trying to do, remain true to our morals, and find ways to respond accordingly.

Six years ago today I launched Democracy Docket to be unapologetically pro-democracy. Today, it has a staff of 22 and more than 400,000 subscribers and 60,000 paying members.

Strongmen, like Trump, live in constant fear of being held accountable — which is why all of us should be concerned about what they might do to the upcoming midterms.

The best thing we can all do is pay attention, call them out for what they’re doing, & turn out in huge numbers in November.

This is murder. ICE routinely deposits released detainees far from their home just to be cruel. It’s standard practice. To do this to a blind man on a wet cold winter day in Buffalo is to know you are potentially sending him to his death.

David Ellison will soon control CNN. In response, I wrote to Democracy Docket subscribers today about the importance and urgency of building a strong independent media ecosystem.

Whether it is Democracy Docket or another independent news outlet, please support one today. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

It's not hyperbole to suggest that today we have a federal government that doesn't so much represent or resemble a federal administration as it does a family crime syndicate.

Just now, the administration put out a notice for all Americans to leave Israel and Gaza.

Once again, I find myself agreeing w/ Peter Schiff. There's a reason Trump paid off some kid to take his SAT test which got him into Wharton. America's pedophile president is an absolute fucking moron. If America does not become Trump's 7th bankruptcy, we'll have dodged a bullet.
