No one is covering the GOP's scheme to rig congressional maps for 2026 as closely as Democracy Docket. It is providing gavel to gavel coverage of the ongoing hearing over whether the Texas gerrymander will be in place for the midterms.

Let me get this straight: Link, a Black user, got banned for calling out the Bluesky CEO for following a racist. That’s not a good look, especially given Bluesky’s historical treatment of Black users here on bluesky.

yeah.

All the details are deep in the replies here: bsky.app/profile/miri...

But basically, until Blacksky gets its own app viewer, which they are working on, Link isn't able to connect to anyone, even though he's on a separate non-bsky server.

Been offline for a lot of the day so just now seeing they permabanned Link? AJ Link? A person who has done more community activism and organizing than I can reasonably name and one of the kindest, most giving, consistently community-building forces on this website? They fyckiung banned *Link*? jmfc

Look. Invading our own country is about as straightforward a case as you can have for impeachment. The GOP abandoning the Constitution is kind of the only story there is and it gets no coverage.

Arbitrary moderation decisions are wrong.
And they are especially wrong if they're made because the CEO is grumpy.

Perma-banning a prominent Black poster for pointing out discrimination is ... not a good look!

fascinated by how the structure of conspiratorial mania is the same across contexts

I said what I said: Kristi Noem should be tried at The Hague for crimes against humanity.

i think anyone taught by ilan wurman ought to ask the university of minnesota law school for their money back

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

Bodies upon the gears and the wheels and the levers, folks. youtu.be/xz7KLSOJaTE

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

"Nothing really happened... just a little pepper taste... I'm Mexican, what do you expect?"

Why the outfit? "I like frogs!"

A 15 year old girl I’ve been talking to for three months in Gaza just told me if she dies to remember her . I can’t stop crying.

I dunno man, try listening to marginalized people *before* shit goes wrong, and maybe it won't keep being like that

These science prizes want to rival the Nobels: how do they compare? Being named as a Nobel laureate is the ultimate prize for many scientists, but how do other science prizes compare?

The Nobel prizes will be announced starting Monday, and they’re considered the most famous awards in science. In the past few years, though, a number of other prizes have popped up. Nature examines how these prizes compare with one another. 🧪

The Japan Prize is meant to be a big deal

​I call on Governor Abbott to immediately withdraw any support for this decision and refuse to coordinate. There is no reason a President should send military troops into a sovereign state without their knowledge, consent, or cooperation.

We must now start calling this what it is: Trump’s Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state’s military troops.

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

Sending troops from Texas to forcefully occupy and suppress cities in Illinois and Oregon IN OPPOSITION TO THOSE STATES' GOVERNORS is literally a civil war and it's cooking my brain that Democrats are simply pretending it isn't happening

It’s a civil war and if you’re electing a mayor or city council this year, be sure to elect people who will ensure your police join that war on the same side as your community.

Do not sacrifice yourself or your family for work.

You and your loved ones deserve a full life that isn't burdened by career aspiration resentment.

You are not your job. You are so much more than your job.

Burnout can kill you.

no like the spiritual warfare that evangelical christians talk about constantly. demonic energies unleashed by their enemies and so on

This is the thing I wish I could get through a lot of Dem politician's heads. Your colleagues in congress believe you are demonic. And they mean that *literally*.

I say this as a historian and sociologist of religion in the U.S., emphatically this, what is said in the quote below, is true.

Cover of The Lancet's Oct 4, 2025 issue. Cover quote reads: "Most medical and surgical societies worldwide have remained silent or issued vague statements about Gaza's healthocide [...] Staying silent while pretending to be neutral is, in effect, a form of complicity."

On this week’s cover of The Lancet, a new letter: “Gaza’s healthocide: medical societies must not stay silent”.

Read the letter and more in our latest issue: tinyurl.com/5n85x448

"Let us be remembered for our solidarity, not our silence. This is a decisive moment. Future generations will judge whether we defended life or looked away. Medicine is more than science—it is a moral duty. And when that duty is under threat, silence becomes betrayal."
