Project 2026: Vote!

Here’s a thought. Instead of being shocked each day on what Trump is doing why don’t we get ahead of the curve and say Trump is going to do everything in his power to try and cancel the next Presidential election. Shocking isn’t it?

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.

Children in a French village, 1953

Love this. Superbly done. Please send this far and wide. @donwinslow.bsky.social

I had to go to the hospital once in the UK. Cost: zero. I asked about it, and the doctor said "It's what we do. We are here to help."

Chicago priest Father Michael Pfleger: "The state of emergency is in AMERICA, not Chicago. It's birthed from this president and his admin's reign of terror."

There is a crucial fault line within the pro-democracy coalition that may determine the fate of free and fair elections. My latest explores what it is and what we all must do to protect democracy.

“Our democracy is only as strong as the people who defend it. State and local officials are on the frontlines of this work, and they must stay firm in the tough battles ahead…The stakes couldn’t be higher,” Pamela Smith writes.

Russian tanks are now flying the American flag. Disgraceful.

I'm thinking we all need to join truth social and fight back when he issues all his unconstitutional crap.

A video arguing that women shouldn’t be able to vote was just shared by Trump’s Secretary of Defense, the guy in charge of our whole military.

And Democratic Party leaders still can’t stand up to this administration?! Our rights are on the line and all our party leaders offer us is silence.

Today, a chamber that once filled me with wonderment made me feel disgust.

I didn’t have “arguing if the Constitution is constitutional” on my 2025 bingo card. Did you?

That is what's settling in now that the courts can't save us. 😭😭😭

This book is riveting and so, so infuriating. It follows 5 families in Atlanta who are struggling to remain housed and paints deeply compassionate portraits of each unit. It reads almost like a novel but is outstanding journalism

The vice president is just as racist and just as childish as the president.

Looks like he couldn't get the door to close from damage. Lolz.

Orange County Grapples With Federal Occupation It's been nearly two weeks since the National Guard and a heavy federal presence hit Orange County, especially its heart in Downtown Santa Ana.

This is wholly unnecessary. And it's wholly about skin color. Trump and his bevy of Fox advisors are racists.

A customer told me she couldn't believe this store would put up a Pride display, because what if children see it??

Anyway, it was my display, and I'm proud of it, and you (and your children) should all see it. #BookSky 📚💙

Huckabee prompted Trump into thinking he's the next Harry Truman, when we don't want or need another Harry Truman.
Vile.

The Big Beautiful Betrayal lowers incomes for nearly 100 million working families, raises mortgage costs, and takes funding from rural hospitals — all while giving massive tax breaks to the wealthy. This isn’t the bill for you and we must reject it.

I signed the final bills Melissa Hortman shepherded through the most narrowly divided legislature in the county. All of them bipartisan.

We debated, we found common ground, and we compromised.

That’s how democracy should function.

Sunset over a calm ocean, with golden sunlight reflecting off the water in a shimmering path toward the viewer; the sky transitions from deep orange near the horizon to darker tones above, with a few scattered clouds and distant landforms silhouetted in the background.

Good morning. “ Follow the light.” Obviously not this one as you’d get wet. Irish Golden hour with some Sun glitter on the Atlantic Ocean. Time to #restore #JuneSea #photography #Ireland #EastCoastKin

I think it would be good to get some women in charge of the countries that have nuclear weapons. Women talk to each other. Women can be reasonable. Enough with the macho men and swinging dicks.
