Democracy is a work in progress…like making a quilt

🚨 BEWARE of VoteSafe.org 🚨 While it bills itself as a “safe” way to register to vote, it is actually a digital surveillance machine created by Elon Musk’s super PAC.

Man pitches 'Shepherd Safety' to city council—a service that tracks politicians the exact same way Flock Safety tracks us. This shouldn't be satire...everyone should be watching “Authority” like a hawk. TT: @coachtd87

More. Of. This.

Exactly my question, Why not? We survived for decades without data centers and we should be able to survive without them a bit longer.

Incredible moment where Fox News puts up a graphic with all the reasons it opposes the DSA and why people should be afraid of them

A where's Waldo to celebrate freedom 250 😂👇

Fighting fascists (and their friends)on Friday…

This is your daily reminder that Trump and Republicans are spending billions of your tax dollars on an unauthorized war in Iran and Stephen Miller’s ICE agenda while gutting Medicaid, slashing SNAP, and driving up your health care costs.

or fund wars in the middle east, or to subsidize big oil, or to fund big pharma constrictions on treatment, or entities that suppress voters rights, womens bodily autonomy, children’s access to education at any level…

I don’t want my tax money to fund data centers, detention centers, presidential vanity projects, battleship construction, border walls, pay-offs to cronies, subsidies to billionaires…

NEW: Donald Trump gave Meta $8 BILLION by creating a new tax loophole for billionaire corporations. All while millions of Americans struggled to pay for food and health care.

😉Couldn’t survive this ongoing SNL script of absurd activities by this corrupt administration without humor! I so appreciate those that post their comments tinged with humor, thank you-

Please share widely!

Yeh…no way this could go wrong

Why would this BLM plan be a good idea?

Truthfully…

I’m proud as fuck of our Olympians. open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

They think they can use their algorithms to erase decades of morals and belief in empathy in all of society. But not everyone is internet poisoned and they can still identify what evil looks like.

Apple & Google removed ICE tracking apps in their app stores. TikTok reportedly suppressed videos criticizing ICE & the shooting of Alex Pretti. Meta blocked Facebook groups tracking ICE & links to a database of agents that the government wants to keep secret. Big Tech is enabling Trump's regime.

Administration thwarted! opb.org/article/2026...

A reminder - before Trump, MAGA, Musk and Fox rewrote history - that this is what the entire country agreed had happened five years ago today:

My latest👇 Unlike in past years, we are not only up against the GOP and its right-wing allies, but the Department of Justice as well. Their collective goal is to use data to make it harder for you to vote and easier for them to cheat next November. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

Now, why do the US taxpayers have to subsidize Amazon to the tune of 11.6 billion dollars (that we know of) when they gross in excess of $311 billion annually (2024)? When can’t your average American become stockholder in a corporation that looks out for our best interests?

I’ve been a democratic voter for 5+ decades and now I’m a Bernie independent! (Though I might have to switch back to primary some candidates…not sure yet.) Mainstream democrats will have to earn my vote because I’m not happy with their behavior this year.

When they can’t bury the truth at the Capitol, they try to drown it in the river. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

Genius

Neither am I…

Billie Eilish asked an important question: "If you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire?" There are FIVE ways to accumulate a billion dollars: 1) Profiting from a monopoly 2) Insider-trading 3) Political payoffs 4) Fraud 5) Inheritance Billionaires are the result of a failed system.

NEW: Welcome to the Great AI Bubble. Yes, it’s here. And yes, it’s going to burst. It’s also got way more in common with the Epstein scandal than you really want to know. open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

Civil society has to hold together and pull forward until the Democratic Party changes. It makes no sense to wait for the Democrats as a party. What makes sense is shifting the ground underneath them.

Yes, money donations go farther in this context.

I think I could knit my own, if I had to.

🤣 bodily “ham”! You have to find humor in the absurdity of this or end up crying a lot.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Lawrence Ferlinghetti's cautionary poem returns to the facade of his City Lights bookstore in San Francisco. www.sfchronicle.com/entertainmen...

An article in the Daily Beast notes the changes he has made to the Oval Office, like bringing in a George Washington painting, a bust of Winston Churchill and this noteworthy addition to the Resolute desk a button he can press when he wants a Diet Coke brought to him. Why not an IV?

Vent about the losses, then visualize the gains, mope about the dumb then mobilize those smart enough to act—the #nokings was a start to shift the vibe.

JUST IN: The White House has begun DEMOLISHING portions of the East Wing of the White House to build Trump’s $250 million ballroom — despite earlier claiming it wouldn’t “interfere” with the existing White House structure. (Washington Post)
