Democracy Matters!

@democracymatters.bsky.social

Husband/girl dad with faith that democracy is the way to go; still idealistic enough to believe it's achievable. The only thing I'm selling is democracy. Banned (3x!) by the fowl site for calling out GOP lies.

It’s just so outlandishly ridiculous yet perfectly in character for Bari Weiss to declare that she knows what the vast majority of Americans are actually like

Targeting Kelly is one of those β€œthis is why we’ll win” moments, bc it shows how politically impetuous this admin is.

There’s clearly no adult in the room to say β€œwait, maybe don’t go after the charismatic war hero turned literal astronaut who ran after his wife was a victim of political violence.”

Ahhh, so they’re going to use the Ghost of Charlie Kirk to spike their campaign. Good to know. So still running on racism and Christian nationalism. Different day same shit.

Tyson is closing a Nebraska plant that employs 3,200 workers in order to β€œright-size” its business.

The meatpacking giant paid its CEO $22.7M last year, 525x its median employee's pay.

It also spent $196M in stock buybacks to reward shareholders.

Textbook corporate greed.

Comey rightly calls out the "biglaw" lawyers who have abdicated their responsibilities to uphold the rule of law, which -- after all -- is why the legal profession exists in the first place, as I discussed a few months ago.

Earlier this month, we asked you to chip in to support Rep. Mclver's legal defense against politically motivated charges from the Trump regime.

Rep. Mclver is being prosecuted for conducting oversight at an ICE facility (her job), and outrageously, a federal judge is allowing her case to go to trial.

We knew that you would step up, but we NEVER expected such a generous outpouring of support: Together, we raised over $154,000 for Rep. Mclver's legal defense! THANK YOU!

We don’t let leaders who stand up to fascism do so alone.

If Pete Kegsbreath follows through with his threat to court martial hero astronaut, former naval officer, and current U.S. Senator, he will further tarnish and diminish the Pentagon, and ensure a LANDSLIDE midterm victory for Democrats.
