If you read only one democracy story today, make it this one. While legacy media largely skipped the Texas redistricting hearing, Democracy Docket's Jen Rice was there for all 10 days. Her coverage stands out and sheds insight into how the GOP operates -- not only in TX -- but nationally.

In a Federal Courtroom in Texas, Republicans Were Desperate to Keep Details of their Gerrymander Under Wraps

Read about the fight for democracy from activists, elected officials, legal experts and others.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

I head into rural Republican districts across the state and country and I organize the Democrats in those red spaces. I am a cheerleader for these Democrats. I remind them that they are not alone, and they are a force for change.

I will never stop.

Good morning and Happy Sunday to everyone who correctly remembers that contrary to trump's post, Joe Biden was NOT the President on January 6, 2021 -- trump was.

His delusional episodes are increasing, it's time for the 25th Amendment.

HE IS UNFIT TO SERVE.

Important piece by Prof. Kate Andrias. This is why treating SCOTUS as the only word on the Constitution gives away our power as citizens.

As I frequently say “we are founders and framers” of the next iteration of democracy in this country.

When Obama was president the right wing acted like masked government agents were coming to kidnap them and take all their rights away.

Then Republicans get elected and actually do that shit for real.

Guess who just got both the updated COVID vaccine and flu shots today? Your dear Leader Trump. Maybe you should get them too.
