Bluesky has been critical to Democracy Docket's growth and reach. Nate Silver is an idiot.
This is the dumbest propaganda fake statistic I've ever seen. It presents in a rate of per million population when there's only 2.8 million trans people in the entire country. A single trans mass shooter would show up in this and that's exactly what it shows.
WTF was that? Putin owns trump.
Trump himself has been convicted of 34 felonies and is the first criminal elected president.
Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

Great work, John Roberts. You’ve played a key role in wrecking our beloved country.
Seriously, WTF?!
🚨BREAKING: Senate Republicans confirmed Emil Bove, one of President Donald Trump’s former attorneys, to a lifetime federal judgeship despite multiple whistleblowers alleging that he urged Department of Justice (DOJ) officials to ignore court orders. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.
I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
If you ever wondered what you would do in nazi Germany, you're doing it right now.
I’ve been thinking a lot about Murkowski’s vote. It contains, in one action, so much that defines our pathetic political moment: Selfishness: I’m taking care of me and mine, the rest of you can pound sand; Lack of accountability: I know the bill is bad, hopefully someone else will fix it;
In effect, the Supreme Court ruled that only it could decide issues on a national level. And then, with thousands and thousands of people waiting in limbo for resolution of many legally disputed Trump orders, the justices went on summer vacation, not to return until October.
Don’t care about any of these characters. Took me half way through the second season to figure that out.

I don’t understand anything I know.
Blocking JD Vance is the only right move to his attempt to troll Bluesky. Don't give him any attention, just block and move on. It's sad that with everything going on in the world, our Vice President has stooped so low as to become an everyday forum troll, but that's where we are now.
1. After the Skrmetti decision, the New York Times has published 6 articles dancing on the graves of trans youth and spreading disinformation on care. It was cited 7 times in the ruling. Read my latest on what will be a black stain on the NYT for a generation. Subscribe to support my journalism.
One bright spot for trans people in Montana: Today's SCOTUS decision does not touch Montana. That's because Montana overturned its gender affirming care ban through the state Supreme Court. States are allowed to have protections that go beyond the US constitution, and thus that ruling is unaffected.
Talking to myself. “Breathe in. Breathe out. Enjoy.”
I was going to welcome you with open arms @jd-vance-1.bsky.social, but your disgusting thread instead has me thinking you are a sewer dwelling douche & should stick to that other sewer dwelling platform. This platform does not need to be infested with your deranged thoughts you anti-Democracy hack.
Instant karma's gonna get you.
A leader who uses military force to suppress his political opposition ought to lose the right to govern, @adamserwer.bsky.social argues: https://theatln.tc/tGfpwBhk
No Kings. He’s a naked POS.
Senator Alex Padilla is a good man and principled public servant. The brazen and aggressive manhandling of Senator Padilla by the Trump administration is a sickening disgrace. Anyone who assaulted the Senator should be held accountable. No one is above the law.
What is the role of state government in a world where the President sicks the military on our citizens? What is the role of a legislative branch (or Judiciary) if they have no ability to reign in the executive?
America’s Generals are terrified. They are cowed. They seem unlikely to hold the line and live up to their oaths to serve the U.S. Constitution. Trump violated the law (the Hatch Act) conducting a political rally at Fort Bragg, rousing the troops to cheer his slogans but the Generals stay silent.
At Fort Bragg, Donald Trump crossed a dangerous line. Where are the generals who should be speaking up in defense of the military's rules and traditions, asks @RadioFreeTom?
The same people who shoveled money to a settle bogus case with Trump, have now fired Terry Moran for telling the truth. No one should wonder why viewers are abandoning legacy media in droves. www.cnn.com/2025/06/10/m...

He lost by 82 points (91%-9%).
I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.
What radicalized me against the police are the 2020 George Floyd protests in Brooklyn. Peaceful marches descended into violence as the NYPD rioted. They pepper sprayed elected officials and beat protesters with batons. The press blamed us for it. I've never trusted the media on protests since.
Tom Homan, dumber than a bag of morons.
The most accurate pie chart ever.
BREAKING 🚨 🚨 🚨 The federal government is "moving to take over" the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers, Gov. Gavin Newsom said today.
They said they wanted cheaper eggs, but now they’re losing their weather service, disaster relief, food assistance and health insurance in exchange for a birthday parade, a bro-fight and a ballroom.
1. Missoula, Montana has cleverly voted to defy the Pride flag ban by making the it "an official city flag." This comes after a law banned the flying of the flag but made an exception for "official flags." Now, the Pride flag will fly defiantly in the state. Subscribe to support our journalism.
My home of Missoula just voted to establish the pride flag as an official government flag of the city, thereby circumventing the state's asinine pride flag ban. 🏳️🌈 Missoula is once again showing how to fight back against policies that seek to erase the LGBTQ community.
“What’s our target?” “Several dishwashers and a prep cook.” “Damn. We’re gonna need body armor, night vision scopes and stun grenades for this one.” “…wait…” “IF IT BLEEDS WE CAN KILL IT.”
Trying to figure out whether, when all is said and done, Musk will be responsible for more deaths than COVID.
Yes she did vote for that and needs to live with her shitty choices.
This was the most troubling line in the troubling piece
I have no idea who CNN thinks the audience is for its programming. Based on the ratings, CNN has no idea either.
The Trump folks obviously knew and this is, in fact, important for the public to know, given Musk’s deleterious impact on so many. Kudos to @kirstengrind.bsky.social and Megan Twomey for having the guts to report out yet another condition that is in plain sight. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/u...
I have a huge request for my readers: Trump's tax and spending bill will be moving through the Senate. Senators can invoke the Byrd Rule to try to remove the anti-trans Medicaid ban and EHB changes. You can find and call your senator here and ask them to do that. Please share as well.

Charlotte Fosgate, a 17-year old trans girl completed suicide earlier this month. Over the weekend, Twitter users found her final post and began mocking her and making memes about her dying. The level of duhumanization of trans people is so thorough, they're celebrating a teenager killing herself.

If I were the owner of the @washingtonpost.com, I would not do a deal with the people who dismembered my columnist. Seems like a low bar, but Bezos managed to not clear yet another one. The world is awash in capital and that this is the choice should tell you all. He’s so poor, all he has is money.
Fact-check: True
If you’re more interested in making money on what you say happened in the last presidential election than you are in reporting on the blatant presidential corruption that’s been happening SINCE the election, you are not a journalist. You are an asshole. And you’re complicit.

What an idiot
I grew up believing that we had learned the lessons of the German poem and Martin Luther King Jr's speeches. We would all speak out if we saw democracy threatened and the rule of law under attack. I will always speak out against wrong. I will always stand up for democracy. I will not back down.
Wow crazy you guys must be giving her a big raise, right?
You see, here in the U.S., we have this quaint little tradition of not needing to whip out our military dick to feel good about ourselves. But that’s not nearly enough for the Bronze Bloviator, whose ego is so fragile it needs a $92 million security blanket. open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

The first question we need to ask is why Trump wants to keep Abrego García in El Salvador. A normal administration would want to retrieve someone wrongly sent to a foreign gulag. I believe part of the reason I that Trump wants a fight with the courts in which he can defy their orders.
1. Have you heard that "900 medals have been stolen from girls" by trans women? This stat is EXTREMELY wrong. It includes hot dog eating, jeopardy, and acting, and tripple counts some winners. S. Baum fact checks this extensively in our latest. Subscribe to support our journalism.
I will say it again: If we make it through this dark period with democracy intact, it may be because the administration's incompetence was greater than its depravity.
