Nearly every media outlet is announcing they will refuse to sign the Pentagon’s new rule stating they cannot report information if it’s not government “authorized.”

Even Newsmax is refusing to sign.

Face it, we're 9 months into this administration and the next meaningful election is 13 months away, this is just practice for the real thing during the election season next year.

ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!

Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

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. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

Never forget that when Bondi was appointed, Democracy Docket immediately called her out while The Washington Post gave her a thumbs up.

If you value independent, pro-democracy media that won't bow down or obey, support Democracy Docket today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

People are spontaneously posting up near any laborers or street vendors they spot. Just saw a rapid responder guarding a man working on a building exterior. Many things are terrible today but lord, this stuff matters.

There are a tremendous number of ICE watchers out in Rogers Park this afternoon after some early morning abductions.

People are guarding churches and patrolling alleyways. Ran into Alderperson Hadden. First timers tell us they're primed and ready to use their whistles.

Plump and the GOP constantly lie through their teeth

Plump's Lil' "Keebler Elf" Johnson thought it would be a good idea to take questions from the public. A man accused him of lying about illegal immigrants draining Medicaid. Johnson challenged the man to "look at the documents," so Jen Psaki did.
