8 Ways Republicans Will Subvert The 2026 Election | part 7 TikTok video by Demoncracy Docket

Every election trick fails if white GOP voters move in mass numbers.

That’s just the facts. Authoritarianism lives on white people’s fear, racism, greed and loyalty.

Absent that, it dies.

A real banner week for Chuck Schumer, given that only a few days ago he refused to back the Democratic nominee for mayor of his home city.

I keep seeing regular Americans taking more risks every day to fight tyranny, want, and cynicism than I see from the opposition party, and I imagine many of those regular Americans are asking themselves what the value proposition of such an opposition party is, really

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

There are more of us than there are of them. Thank you for a truly historic day of peaceful protests across America. #NoKings

The teeny tiny No Kings things in very red areas are so huge

Say like five or six people show up. None of them knew each other before. Suddenly they’re all friends. And maybe from that you get a group that does longer-term organizing that can punch *way* above its weight considering where it is

I didn't take pics but the feeling of being in a group of people with no visible beginning or end was so thrilling. The opposite of online anomie, and a living counterpoint to the wary, isolated, compartmentalized world the shitheads want to make. It's simple and obvious I guess but it means a lot.

A reminder that the Florilla was on a humanitarian mission- those boats were packed with baby formula and medication. They were kidnapped on international waters. And then tortured.

Trump and Bessent clarify that they will only help out Argentina as long as Milei is in power. Trump adds that the same thing goes with NYC, where the White House will hold up funds if Mamdani wins.

The New York Times knows crime is not “out of control” in major U.S. cities — in fact, crime is way down from past years and decades — but NYT amplifies JD Vance’s lie without a fact check.
It’s journalism malpractice that helps the fascists.

CBS News staffers are ‘literally freaking out’ about Bari Weiss taking over newsroom EXCLUSIVE: ‘People are using words like depressing and doomsday – feels like some sort of doomsday,’ one source told The Independent about the mood inside CBS News right now.

“'The fact that we don't have money to pay journalists, but we have money to pay Bari Weiss between $100 and 200 million is indicative of what the Ellisons' true goal here is,' a network correspondent said. 'And it's not journalism.'"

Negativity bias has a bunch of people immediately gravitating to believing the worst about folks. YET in reality, most people are pretty decent and are trying to live their lives. Folks buy into the "people are terrible" hype and that only serves other terrible people.

You can’t say you want to expand the coalition by accepting conservatives while simultaneously trying to exclude leftists.

Either you’re a “big tent” person or you aren’t. Period.

@hcrichardson.bsky.social I am an avid follower of you and try to put into practice things you recommend. I share lots and use my art but am not sure if it’s making a difference Then this morning my cousin, Leland Green, sent me this and said that I’ve inspired him! It encouraged me to continue! 🥰

The idea that if you make Dems a little more Republican, Republicans will vote Dem is what’s breaking us. And it doesn’t even work!

The thing everyone can do right now is to find your lane if you don't already have one and work that lane diligently and with commitment.

Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell could not have sold children for sex without rich perverts buying children for sex. I feel like more people should mention that.

I really do think Ezra Klein needs to be held to account for why he gets to keep his columnist job, as a white man, for saying CK was "practicing politics the right way" while Karen Attiah, a Black woman, loses her columnist job for quoting what CK said about Black women.

Someone, plz ask him.

When in the actual fuck, as a country, did we decide that our government gets to demand that we mourn someone in some particular way?
