Making one final push before the end of the month for those of you interested in independent, pro-democracy media to subscribe to Democracy Docket. It doesn't sell your email or information. It doesn't send spam. Just the information you need to stay informed. demdock.com/4w6emld

This is how it should be done.

It’s been five years since Alex Jones lost InfoWars to the Sandy Hook families. As the verdict came down, he asked: “Do these people actually believe they’re getting any money?” He hasn't paid them a penny. Well, The Onion is going pay them anyway. The new InfoWars begins July 2nd at 8 p.m. ET.

Democrats should counter with a bill that makes all identification, including passports, free of charge. Yes, it would equal millions in lost revenue for both state and local governments, but to force voter ID is equal to a poll tax on economically depressed areas.

Republicans are moving quickly to pass a bill requiring voters to show proof of citizenship both to register and at the polls ahead of the 2026 midterm elections — a move that experts warn could disenfranchise millions of Americans. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

From @theathletic.com: The “I win. Google me.” guy is officially college football’s best coach. Curt Cignetti has done the unthinkable. turning the biggest loser in college football history into a 16-0 national title team in just two seasons. nyti.ms/4sPJAfi

The answer is no. I loved every minute of Avatar while I was in theater, but once I’m out, very little of it sticks. I don’t say this negatively. Cameron is creating rollercoaster experiences and they are crowd pleasing but also ephemeral.

30 million people showed up to watch Luke and Laura get married in 1981. You can’t get 30 million people to watch another isn’t the Super Bowl. #RIP

Anthony Geary, who portrayed Luke Spencer on ABC soap opera “General Hospital” for almost 40 years in nearly 2,000 episodes, has died. https://cnn.it/4oZiuzf

Here's a fast fact I'm seeing NO ONE mention, and it's significant: This is the first time EVER that Indiana University is undefeated in basketball AND football at the end of November. This includes Men's AND Women's basketball.

MAGA is on the verge of collapse. That doesn't mean the death of conservatism, because people will always be selfish, but this shit is fracturing fast. When the old man croaks, it will implode overnight.

Here's the thing about the modern conservative (aka "Cocksuckers"): They will say the vilest shit, I mean absolute hate upon hate about anyone they don't like. They will terrorize the most vulnerable groups with glee. Then, the moment they face any push back, they cry like whores.

In all the horseshit, we’ve seemed to collectively forget THIS MAN COMMITTED TREASON.

A Time for Poetry@lkhblue.bsky.social

He treasonously stole top secret classified documents and used every trick in the book to skate out of any consequences and pardoned J6ers who assaulted the people we pay to protect our government. But women who yell at him need to be jailed. Yah, right.

Under 18 U.S.C. § 875(c), it is a federal crime to transmit “any communication containing any threat to kidnap any person or any threat to injure the person of another.” Thusly, ANYONE who tries to get someone they don't know fired can be considered an injurious action.

The best way to deal with the Trumpanzee going forward is to just shun them. Don't speak to them, don't acknowledge their existence. Watch their every move, but give them zero oxygen. They cannot compel you to do a single thing in regards to them. Treat them as nonexistent.

Folks, it’s gonna be rocky for a few days, but in a month or so, the death of Charlie Kirk will be no different than and have the same impact as the death of George Lincoln Rockwell (Google him if you need to).

Iryna Zarutska's murder is a heinous, cruel and unforgivable attack on a human being who did nothing. Having said that, if this is an on-ramp for you to feel justified in being a fucking racist, you are no better than the murderer. You want to erase an entire people.

Republicans: This is disgusting!! Look at all the liberals excited over the reported death of the President. So gross! Absolutely ghoulish! The President: Hehe, who wants to watch me drone strike a boat full of brown people? Republicans: In his defense, they were brown...

The whole Cracker Barrel fracas reminds me of something important about conservatives. They are often goaded to care about the least important shit because it requires the least amount of effort. Complaining and screaming “woke” requires so little effort.

Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.

Kamala was right just about everything when it comes to Trump. She told you people, and you were more worried about Gaza. Now both situations are worse.
