Tap, tap, tap… Testing 1, 2, 3… Is this thing on? By way of a quick intro, I’m Dot, a retired Marine and now full-time enjoyer of all the little things. I am a wannabe amateur picture taker of random places and people, promoter of beautiful things and defender of the all stuff worth fighting for.

Everyone keeps asking me how I’m feeling about early voting so far. I’m feeling like nobody *actually* knows anything, and this is the most important midterm of our lives. I’d rather be us than them, but we can’t get comfortable. We can’t get complacent. Go vote like we’re down 3%.

Trump-Putin scandal in Alaska. "Joel Riddle, chief executive of the company, Polar LNG, until he resigned in September, said he had been misled...The true source of at least some of Polar LNG’s money was Novatek, a Russian energy giant under partial U.S. sanctions." www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

nytimes.comIn U.S. Gas Talks With Kremlin, Hidden Financing for Alaska Project EmergesInterviews and documents show a Russian energy giant secretly funded a U.S. firm. The deal has been discussed in talks to end the war in Ukraine.

It might be a small glimmer of light in a very dark time for the Marine Corps and the military in general, but this story made my chest swell with pride for being a Marine veteran and knowing what Semper Fi is really all about. Thanks to the NYTimes for sharing this. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

russia is about to use a humanitarian crisis it CAUSED as a PR stunt. Vital to remember that people are still in Oleshky because russia held them hostage as human shields. Putin will try rewrite history & pretend he cares about saving lives. But russia caused this.

The Budapest Memorandum was signed in 1994 giving security assurances to Ukraine’s independence, sovereignty and borders in exchange for surrendering 1,900 nuclear warheads to Russia for dismantling. The U.S. pledged to seek United Nations action if Ukraine became the victim of aggression.

Steve Witkoff has financial interests in russia and he’s in Moscow because Americas foreign policy is now about making as much corrupt cash as possible for the Trump family. That’s why they’re calling Putin a humanitarian. His missiles are crashing into Kyiv right now by the way

Musk just warned Democrats he'll "come for" anyone who investigates him. Look, that’s not a threat. It's a dare. If Dems win the House and don't hit him hard on Day One, subpoenas in hand, every vote we cast drifts away in fear. He called the bluff. Now they have to call his.

As we often say, a nationwide day of action is always so important and meaningful. But what actions YOU choose to take in the days that follow that nationwide day of action are just as, if not more, important and meaningful.

X is owned by Musk. TikTok is blocking the Musk movie account. Meta blocked the No Kings account. This is why Democracy Docket is not built on SubStack or any third-party platform that could one day turn against it. It costs more to operate but is worth it. Subscribe now. demdock.com/4w6emld

Yesterday, Trump ally Mark Zuckerberg tried to squelch the voice of the people. He failed. More than seven million people came out for No Kings rallies. Now we need to ensure that Trump, Musk, Zuckerberg, and other powerful authoritarians inside and outside the government, fail again on November 3.

You don’t have the luxury to vote ‘independent’ They are going to try to steal this election to continue the fleecing of America. The vote needs to be so overwhelmingly blue that they can’t steal enough ballots to change what the majority wants. A Congress that holds this motherf*cker accountable.

Meta just yanked No Kings' Instagram accounts…on the day millions hit the streets to protest. Coincidence? You decide. But here's what they can't delete: you, showing up. Find your local No Kings event. Today. Don't wait for permission.

The first subpoena from the new Democratic Congress should be to Mark Zuckerberg, for taking down the No Kings Instagram account in the middle of one of the largest days of civic activism in American history. No Kings. No Courtiers.

California’s billionaires have a combined net worth of $2.4 trillion. Under Prop 40, their net worth would fall to…just under $2.3 trillion. What amounts to a rounding error for them would allow millions of their fellow Californians to afford healthcare. Vote yes on Prop 40.

Russia is cooperating with Iran. So why is Trump cooperating with Russia? Like the diesel deal, this decision is a gift to the very forces attacking our service members.

If you’re advising POTUS to declare martial law, or use other executive powers in an attempt to interfere with a lawful election that you’re expecting to lose, you’re a piece of shit human and an even worse American. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The Washington Post reviewed a Heritage Foundation database of voter fraud cases and found 85 cases relating to allegations of noncitizens voting between 2002 and 2023. 85…over TWO DECADES. This entire administration is built on lies.

Russia is now exempt from the Lindsey O. Graham Russia Sanctions Act. The US government is clearly allied with Putin against Ukraine. Vote Republican enablers out.
