“You are seeing political shift happening. And that is because of the people. It starts with the people.

“It is time for companies and countries to take their signs down."

If you don’t know the context of that quote, I strongly encourage you to watch the incredible speech delivered by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney in Davos.

We are the citizens of what is now a rogue and predatory nation.

As citizens, we have the responsibility to resist.

Excellent analysis from Max.

DESCRIPTION: Max breaks down the flurry of recent labor market data the government is releasing. When you dig below the headline numbers it shows just how much structural damage exists in the job market...and Trump’s is only making it worse.

I started Democracy Docket in 2020 to be unapologetically pro-democracy. It will never back down. It doesn’t seek compromise or half measures. It has no corporate overlords or venture capitalists. It relies only on you. Support it now. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

December 5, 2025 Late last night, the Trump administration released the 2025 National Security Strategy (NSS) of the United States of America.

Almost certainly the most important recent development that most people aren’t well informed about.
