Today I wrote about the importance of not falling into the trap of allowing career prosecutors to legitimize political prosecutions. Become a Democracy Docket member to receive all of my writings and other exclusive content while also supporting independent, pro-democracy media. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

Senate is back in session today.

1/ So a quick 🧡on where things are at on the shutdown.

You get a lot of propaganda and spin thrown at you, so I want to give you the real, behind-the-scenes tea.

ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.

Authoritarianism is a cancer. And it's growing, metastasizing. In America. Now.

YOU are the cure. Do your part and join us on Saturday.

Do it for your country. For the Constitution. For your freedoms.

While you still can.

Great that 20 living hostages are finally home.

I have little faith in the rest of the agreement
& little hope for lasting peace.

If Israel keeps stealing Palestinian land
in the West Bank & Gaza, a peace will not last.

Only forcing Israel to accept a 2-State Solution
could bring a lasting peace.

I read Peter Thiel’s essay on Alan Moore’s Watchmen and it unquestionably proves that piss poor media literacy is foundational to this recent rise of fascism.

Pope urges news agencies to stand as bulwark against lies, manipulation and post-truths Pope Leo XIV has encouraged international news agencies to stand firm as a bulwark against the β€œancient art of lying” and manipulation.

β€œWith your patient and rigorous work, you can act as a barrier against those who, through the ancient art of lying, seek to create divisions in order to rule by dividing,” he said. β€œYou can be a bulwark of civility against the quicksand of approximation and post-truth...”

Trump/"GOP" is smearing the patriotic NO KINGS rallies.
Trump/"GOP" is lying that the patriots who attend the NO KINGS rallies are "terrorists" who "hate America".

Trump/"GOP" mistakenly believe that Trump/"GOP" IS America.
They can't see that Trump/"GOP" = an Enemy Within America.

USA=NO KINGS!

voters & non-voters:

If we had elected Hillary, US could have avoided
Trump & his 3 (so far) Supreme Court Injustices
& all the damage the Trump/"GOP" Extreme Court has done.

Now, they transitioned into the Trump/"GOP" Supine Court
that ignores the Constitution to let Trump do whatever he wants.

The RIFs that began Friday will reportedly cut 65% of CISA’s 2,540 employees, one of the dumbest and most dangerous moves imaginable. CISA defends the nation’s cyber and critical infrastructure. Destroying it now only makes sense if you’re afraid of election integrity.

Postcard From Chicago: There’s an ICE Facility in My Backyard Chicago was not a war zone when Trump’s Operation Midway Blitz began. DHS and ICE have made it one.

To revive and paraphrase a classic Richard J. Daley quote, "DHS and ICE aren't there to stop disorder; they're there to CREATE disorder."

Trump/"GOP" words are not just careless smears,
Trump/"GOP" words are carefully-chosen weapons.
Far-Right Media is a highly-developed weapons system.

Democrats must develop a comparable weapons system.
When they do fight back with words or peaceful protests,
Democrats are being called "terrorists".

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.
