Hey Black Panther, just remember if it happened to us this quickly it can happen to any country. Stay diligent and enjoy the good life there. 🌼

There was a post I saw recently that was something along the lines of "isn't it interesting how Canada is one of the only major world democracies that isn't experiencing fascist authoritarian backsliding?" and it pretty much all goes back to proper campaign finance regulation, doesn't it.

Once mass spam texts were made legal, younger donors vanished, leaving a grassroots fundraising machine that subsists on squeezing vulnerable seniors, some of whom give hundreds of times a day. It’s a horrific model. Consultants get generationally wealthy, and the party hollows out its future.

We found that as of right now 73% of your campaign donation goes back to the consultants and vendors (!!!), four times more than just 20 years ago. Only 13% to ads. Even I was shocked.

somebody should ask danielle smith if she is going to drop her appeal of the court's blocking of the initial separatist petition. it seems "journalists" are scared to death asking her that question, so i suggest you do it

Huge shoutout to my wife for doing another donation run for Ukrainians. She collected clothes and money from coworkers to buy essential goods, and brings them to one of the donation collectors near Basel. Many cities have those and it really is a low barrier way to help Ukrainians.

It's absolutely impossible to express how much this means and how unbelievable it seems.

All of us need to remember that if any of these criminals made money through illegal stock trading, they cannot expect immunity from a Trump pardon. All stock trading is subject to the New York state law. State crimes are not pardonable by any president.

Of course he doesn’t attempt it in his own country. This entire vile episode will be a case study in ethics for all eternity, and every Republican who confirmed RFK Jr. should be drummed out of office while Kennedy himself gets impeached and convicted.

In the Vancouver election, many thought Pete Fry and the Greens couldn’t beat Sim’s money advantage. “Turns out, they could—with a little help from their friends.” THREE progressive parties worked together proposing a coalition council, didn’t split the vote, and won instead of beating each other.

X is owned by Musk. TikTok is blocking the Musk movie account. Meta blocked the No Kings account. This is why Democracy Docket is not built on SubStack or any third-party platform that could one day turn against it. It costs more to operate but is worth it. Subscribe now. demdock.com/4w6emld

Update: about 4 hours later and we still don't have admin access so we still can't post to the No Kings instagram account. This isn't slowing down the the 3,000+ early vote events today. We will drive the biggest early vote in history. But this should be a flashing alarm about what's to come.

Kremlin called and told him to use his power to the fullest to help Russia while he still can. I know this sounds, but what else could it be?
