THIS IS FOR THE HISTORY BOOKS! NYC just voted to END horse-drawn carriages! @council.nyc.gov passed Romanch’s Law, & PETA is pledging $50,000 to help horses retire. This moment belongs to every PETA supporter who never gave up, & @speakermenin.bsky.social & @mayor.nyc.gov for their leadership!

Dolly Parton’s sister Stella says the voting machines kept changing her vote back to racist MAGA lunatic Marsha Blackburn’s name and had to correct it a few times. Not surprised since the only things fascist republicans do is cheat, lie, steal, crime and destroy. Triple check everything.

The bot layer is gone and the comments under Trump's own post are now 99% hate. Not manufactured rage from troll farms. Actual Americans telling him what they think. Real replies, always buried under a wall of paid Kremlin traffic, are what remain. The information war has a physical backbone.

We have seen enough public executions. 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔

Signs you’re a war criminal: You attack the court that goes after war criminals

Today we got access to a smoking gun document from ICE that shows how it is weaponized against progressive groups registering voters while building a voter suppression database.

Today, we recognize union members and labor activists who fought for the rights workers now have. The forty hour work week, weekends, sick leave, paid holidays, safe working conditions, and much more. None of it was given. It was fought for by working people. And the fight continues.

CNN: You're not going to trust mail voting if SCOTUS allows this? BLUMENTHAL: I won't. And I think most Americans will view mail voting as lacking credibility because the Postal Service is gonna be screening your ballot & sending them back if it finds a single discrepancy, & you may not know

Everyday someone asks me how they can help me. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket and share its content. demdock.com/4w6emld

The termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians strips legal work authorization from roughly 330,000, severely harming the U.S. healthcare system. Another example of acting with zero regard for the well-being of our country. They just don’t care.
