"Enough is enough!" Jane Fonda & Tig Notaro lead the way again with this uplifting video for the Committee for the First Amendment. All of us doing just a little bit will make a huge difference. Resist in whatever ways you can. We're in this together. You are not alone!

Trump is letting huge corporations that suck up to him evade antitrust enforcement.

State attorneys general should fight back by filing their own lawsuits to break up Live Nation/Ticketmaster and block Paramount's acquisition of Warner Bros.

Enough of Trump's oligarchy.

Scott MacFarlane exits CBS amid more shakeups post-merger Scott MacFarlane is bidding farewell to CBS News after five years. His is just the latest departure for the network after a controversial merger.

Congrats to Scott McFarlane for having sense enough to get out of Bari Weiss's new CBS propaganda channel.

He's too good for what that place is becoming.

Fighting for Breath: The FDA’s Lax Generic Drug Rules Put Her Life at Risk Lung transplant patient Hannah Goetz’s life depended on the generic version of the critical drug tacrolimus. It was supposed to be equivalent to the brand-name medication β€” but the FDA doesn’t always ...

In 2021, Hannah Goetz’s pharmacy began filling her tacrolimus prescription with a generic made by Accord.

What she didn’t know: An FDA-commissioned study concluded months earlier that Accord’s generic was not equivalent to the brand drug.

Shift in the Gulf Stream could signal ocean current collapse Models show that as the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation gets weaker, the Gulf Stream will drift northwards. There are signs that this is already happening, and a more abrupt shift could wa...

A gradual northward shift in the Gulf Stream has provided more evidence that the system of currents keeping Europe warm is weakening. And modelling suggests that abrupt shift in the Gulf Stream could signal an imminent, catastrophic collapse in the ocean current.

Judge rules Kari Lake unlawfully ran U.S. media agency, voiding layoffs Sweeping layoffs at Voice of America made by Trump appointee Kari Lake were declared void by a federal judge, who said she served unlawfully.

So much damage done. Hopefully, Voice of America can be restored.

For years on my old blog I published the names of servicemembers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan. No other outlets were.

David Ellison will soon control CNN. In response, I wrote to Democracy Docket subscribers today about the importance and urgency of building a strong independent media ecosystem.

Whether it is Democracy Docket or another independent news outlet, please support one today. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Just saying, but when people are trying to do everything they can to prevent you from voting, that’s when you absolutely need to vote.

Ready to make this the biggest midterm turnout in history?

In reversal, Warner Bros. jilts Netflix for Paramount Warner Bros. says Paramount's sweetened bid to buy the whole company is "superior" to an $83 billion deal it struck with Netflix for just its streaming services, studios, and intellectual property.

Still watching CNN? You can kiss that station goodbye now. There is so much greed in America it is overwhelming and disgusting.

There is no independent media left - cut the cable cord and support independent journalism like @democracydocket.com @marcelias.bsky.social

Hi Bluesky - I'm Massachusetts' Attorney General. You might know me from suing President Trump nearly 50 times, beating Uber and Lyft in court, or being the first woman of color elected to statewide office in MA.

I officially left X today - help me find my MA people?

πŸ‘€The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics.

"It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The Fox News chyron reads "Latest Dem hoax" at the same time that Brendan Carr confirms that yes, the FCC would've "enforced the law" and gone after CBS had Colbert aired his interview with Talarico on TV

CBS can try to obey in advance by pressuring Stephen Colbert to silence his interview with James Talarico, the gifted communicate running for the U.S. Senate in Texas, but people can see what’s happeningβ€”& can listen to the convo on YouTube. Brendan Carr & the FCC’s free speech attack will backfire.

Building the camps The warehouseification of detention and initial thoughts on stopping it.

When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.
