If democracy dies in darkness, we have seen that the legacy media is willing to turn off the lights. I founded Democracy Docket in 2020 to shine a spotlight on the most important fights for democracy— those taking place in court.

We will never have another free election. A GOP billionaire bought Dominion Election Systems and guess what his plans for it are?

What do these corporations have in common?

Netflix
Ford
Tesla
T-Mobile
Duke Energy
DISH Network
Metlife
Dominion Energy
United States Steel

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.

This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

While the right lose their goddamn minds about a lone wolf doing something horrendous in DC today, let’s not forget that last week in the White House they all gushed over a genocidal, journalist murdering tyrant whose country financed 9/11.

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

This Thanksgiving, I'm thinking of our neighbors with an empty seat at the dinner table.

Those with loved ones abducted & deported from their families.

Those we lost due to gun violence, mass incarceration, & more.

A more just America is possible, if we fight for it.

During this season of giving, let’s do what we can to give back to the communities that have given us so much. From our family to yours, have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

If you’re reading non-fiction for awards consideration (or just want to read a really great book on Eastern storytelling) I highly recommend @henrylienauthor.bsky.social’s SPRING, SUMMER, ASTEROID, BIRD. Should be required reading for both writers and editors. 📚

I just finished season 2 of the Last of Us which was very moving. But I decided that in season three they need to discover that RoundUp will kill the fungus and the fungus people so they go on a hunt to find any Monsanto scientists and start scavenging Home Depot

Imagine knowing your platform was a playground for predators, fueling teen depression, eating disorders, and suicide and deciding the best course of action was… absolutely nothing. Meta didn’t just “miss” anything.

The pile of lies is stunning.

First, no crimes at 1/6. Second, wrong to investigate. Third, unusual to get toll records of people instigators called. Fourth, wrong to suspend notice while investigation ongoing.

Cherry on top: vote yourself $500k as victim of nothing wrong.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Mike Johnson is big mad that we forced through a petition and forced a vote on releasing the Epstein files.

So let’s do it again. This time to restore the ACA credits he stole from us:

Home Depot could implement a policy requiring ICE to present a judicial warrant before operating on its property. Businesses are fully within their rights to decide who is allowed on their premises.

Sex trafficking on Meta platforms was both difficult to report and widely tolerated. Instagram’s former head of safety testified that when she joined Meta in 2020 she was shocked to learn the company had a “17x” strike policy for accounts that engaged in the “trafficking of humans for sex.”

Court filings allege Meta tolerated sex trafficking, hid harms to teens, and prioritized growth over user safety for years.

That would explain why when Trump figured it out he called Leonard Leo a “sleazebag.”

Remember that before the list there was war between House of Koch and House of Trump. After the list there was peace.

Do the math.

The most logical conclusion is a deal where Kochs got to pick Trump’s nominees, using Federalist Society as camouflage for a transaction.

Amazing how people keep missing the story.

Remember: there was no “Federalist Society list.” No consideration, no agenda item, no vote.
