🚨BREAKING: Donald Trump is plotting to steal the 2026 election and his buddy David Ellison and Bari Weiss just won control of CNN.

I started Democracy Docket to be fiercely independent and pro-democracy. No corporate investors. It will never back down. Support it by subscribing now. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

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

Democracy will not survive without strong independent media Trump and his allies are rapidly taking over our major news outlets.

The truth is that if democracy is to survive this era, we can no longer treat independent media as optional. It is essential, and we must do everything we can to help it thrive and grow — quickly. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/demo...

Top Democrats, voting rights experts slam Trump's draft illegal order to seize control of voting "This is unconstitutional and insane," said Norm Eisen, the executive chair of State Democracy Defenders Fund and a former Obama administration official.

Following reports that anti-voting activists are coordinating with the White House on an emergency executive order allowing President Donald Trump to take control of voting, top Democratic lawmakers warned Trump is setting the stage to steal the midterms.

CNN will soon be controlled by David Ellison. If democracy is to survive, a vibrant independent media ecosystem is critical.

My ask: cancel your Paramount/Warner subscriptions and sign up for as many pro-democracy outlets as you are able.

You can start with Democracy Docket: bit.ly/4qmEiFz

I thought this flower was dead and gave up watering. One day, I saw something green pop up and I started caring for it. Now, there are numerous flower buds ready to bloom rewarding me for not giving up. Bitter cold still persists out there but Spring is not far away. 💚🌸🌿🌼🩵

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

Five books I have read during the last six months:
1) The Camino Wind
2) The Juror #3
3) Falling
4) The Friends We Keep
5) The Camino Island

To me, these books were real page turners and kept me awake well past my bedtime.

When exactly does the Statute of Limitations run out on President Pedo and his fascist junta blaming THEIR fuck-ups on Biden #MAGA

One of the greatest lectures in the world.

‘I ultimately had to comply’: ‘60 Minutes’ EP faces fallout after Bari Weiss shelves story CBS News postponed a “60 Minutes” segment about El Salvador’s CECOT prison one day before it was set to air because the Trump administration declined to participate.

“What's happening to CBS is a terrible embarrassment and if execs think they can build shareholder value by avoiding journalism that might offend the Mad King they are about to learn a tough lesson. This is still America and we don’t enjoy bullshit like this.”
