@marcelias.bsky.social: We "need to tell Republicans that if they take 5 seats, we're going to put 30 seats on the table... When people say to me 'don't bring a knife to a gunfight,' I don't even want to bring a gun to a gunfight. I want to bring missiles to the gunfight."

This is Virginia Guiffre's statement to Ghislane Maxwell, read by Guiffre's attorney in court the day Maxwell was sentenced.

I had to divide it into 2 parts. Please read each & share.

These are the words of a child rape victim, a victim of the monster Trump now protecting & arranging her freedom.

A MUST READ: "In decision after decision, it became clear that the Republican justices have gerrymandered the law to generate a bunch of legal rules that fit pretty neatly into the Republican Party’s preferences." - @leahlitman.bsky.social

Republicans are already laying the foundation to undermine a fair 2026 midterm election in Georgia, where they’re working to install voting skeptics on local election boards. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Trump’s Crackdown on Protests is Spreading to Local Law Enforcement Opinion | Since President Donald Trump returned to the White House, he has led a high-profile campaign to crack down on lawful protests.

"Local law enforcement agencies are extremely likely to increase the violent and disproportionate policing of anti-MAGA protests, as well as the mass arrests of protesters." -- @jesspish.bsky.social www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

The fact that the legacy media still holds this event is the single best advertising for pro-democracy independent media. Next time you hear them puzzle about declining ratings or readership, send them this post.

YouTube video by Democracy Docket Judge Says Trump Admin Violated Court Order, Threatens Contempt

NEW VIDEO: I have never seen as many federal judges angry with the federal government as there are right now. And one judge in Rhode Island seems poised to find someone in criminal contempt.

Paige and I discuss.

Elon Musk Hollows Government So Trump Can Refill It From Marc | In more than 30 lawsuits filed against the new administration, the government has not won one on the merits.

We cannot ignore how shockingly abnormal it is for a private citizen — who himself has contracts with the federal government — to dispatch a private army of executives, data experts and recent high schoolers to dictate policies to federal agencies. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/elon...

Liberals arm up with cash, counseling for Trump 2.0 President Donald Trump’s aggressive start to his new term has sparked responses ranging from organized resistance to mental health coping strategies as liberals face his return to power.

Marc Elias has become a leading voice in organizing resistance efforts. His guidance to supporters encompasses multiple approaches, including supporting independent media, maintaining consistent opposition to GOP initiatives and engaging in advocacy across various platforms and personal settings.

🚨BREAKING: Alliance for Retired Americans and two labor unions file lawsuit against Treasury Dept. to block disclosure of personal and financial information to Musk and DOGE.

Courts Are the Last Guardrail From Marc | If democracy is to survive the next four years, the courts will need to perform each of these functions.

If you are looking for the guardrails on MAGA extremism, it does not reside in government institutions or norms. Nor will you find any courage in the boardrooms of large corporations as they bow and scrape before Trump.

That leaves only the courts.

Now Is the Time for Courage From Marc | I started Democracy Docket to be fearlessly independent and unapologetically pro-democracy.

If you are a leader who previously boasted about your pro-democracy positions, you have a greater obligation. If you feel obliged to obey Trump, spare us your justifications. Just tell us you are too scared to fight. If you feel the need to bow down, let someone with more courage take your spot.

Trump Aims To Destroy American Civil Society. Here’s Why He Must Be Stopped. Opinion | I think there’s a strong adjunct role for most of us building anti-MAGA strength in the 21 months left till the U.S. midterm elections in 2026.

"I’m particularly worried about the effects on civil society, even over the short-term. Our nonprofit sector is more than 5% of GDP, and contributes $3.7 trillion to the economy each year, employing more than 10% of the workforce."-- @guitarwatson.bsky.social

@marcelias.bsky.social Happy Birthday! I wish you many happy returns of the day. Thank you for your tireless work to save our democracy.

Coffee grown in climate controlled underground bunkers at enormous energy and water costs, not to mention America has to wait for the plants to grow into trees, and forget 'sun-ripened'. It takes 2000 coffee cherries to make 1 pound of coffee. Just cut the BS and trade properly with Columbia!

In 1971, the Jim Crow era was over, but oppression carried on. Jimmy Carter was sworn in as Governor of Georgia.

In his Inaugural address, he declared “the time for racial discrimination is over”.

President Carter always had the spine to speak up, no matter the cost of the cause. Be like Carter.

Carter outlived America.

The Most Litigated Election Ever From Marc | Despite the sharp increase in litigation, pro-voting forces continued to win, notching three times as many victories as losses.

Once again, the courts largely rejected GOP attacks on our election systems. As imperfect as they are, at a time when Republics control the presidency and both chambers of Congress, the courts will remain the most powerful tool to prevent Trump from undermining our democracy and rule of law.

The new head of MSNBC reportedly "would like MSNBC to be on better terms with Republicans."

Here is what I promise you about Democracy Docket:

It will never make nice with the GOP.
It will stand up, not bow to Trump.
It will not obey.
