Free man, veteran and I bow to no king. Anti MAGA. Country over party. Photography, scuba, fish, kayak, so If I’m not on the water or in it, I’m probably thinking about it. The purpose of the system is what it does. #waterman #Ally #photography #Art

Sadness. The cancerous Donald Trump has infected all levels of our society and threatens our democratic republic.

Remember when you tried to tell us “the younger generations don’t think that way.” And “the young people will save us.” There are a lot of great, humane, decent, bright young people out there. But there are also a lot of these young people. And they’re not going anywhere.

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.

How much did they pay the Trump family to have this? Everything is for sale.

Last night, my team filed a motion to defend voters in California.

DOJ sued 8 states. My firm has filed to protect voters in all 8 states.

We will never back down from the fight to protect free and fair elections.

Marc Elias @marcelias.bsky.social · 14d

DOJ has sued 8 states for refusing to turn over their full, unreacted voter files.

My team has now filed motions to defend voters in 7 of those cases in ME, MI, MN, NH, NY, OR and PA.

I suggest that DOJ monitor the docket in the remaining one in CA.

Fighting for Democracy Everyday @rhopper03.bsky.social · 10d

Is it time to make America great again in Alabama?? Or, wait - maybe THIS IS America being great and MAGA just ships it violence out to relatively peaceful communities. So, great equals violence… hmmm…. Is it all starting to make sense yet? #MAGA

When "The Sound of Music" is shown, I suspect that as each Trump year passes, fewer Americans are cheering during this scene.
