When we care for others our own strength to live increases. When we help people expand their state of life, our lives also expand. Actions to benefit others are not separate from actions to benefit oneself. Our lives and the lives of others are ultimately inseparable.- Dr. Ikeda

The Washington Post is beyond repair. We need to build independent pro-democracy media that doesn't equate Donald Trump's pathological lies with Joe Biden. You can start with subscribing to Democracy Docket. I built it to have only one side -- the truth. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

ICYMI: A Department of Justice lawsuit demanding Massachusetts’ unredacted voter registration has been dismissed. President Trump’s DOJ has sued 30 states plus D.C. for their voter rolls as part of the administration’s obsessive focus on immigration enforcement. They are currently 0 for 4. democracydocket.com/news-alerts/tr…

Let’s not forget who set the Artemis II lunar trip into motion, President Biden. This was before Canada hated us. I should have known. Biden met the Astronauts: NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, along with CSA astronaut Jeremy Hansen.

We fought and lost a war in Iran so that both the Iranians and the Russians could make far more money from oil—the Iranians from tolls, the Russians from higher prices and the end of sanctions. That isn’t just strategic defeat; it’s self-destructive foolishness at a level unknown to military history.

This is what the Trump administration is trying to turn the Chama and Carson National Forest into: uranium-mining pits. Who stands with me in saying “hell no” to letting the Trump administration sell off our public lands to the highest bidder?

After public backlash, the Washington County Board of Education in Tennessee voted to censure Keith Ervin, the board member who called a teenage student ‘hot’ during a recorded meeting. But now, the teen’s father is speaking out, calling for Ervin to be completely removed from the board.

“The entire time I was literally mentally and physically tortured.” Palestinian former ICE detainee Leqaa Kordia tells @mehdirhasan what it was like to be locked up in Texas without rights, including the right to practice her religion freely for a year.

On March 30, 2026, 35‑year‑old Ammarin Lada Tunstall was arrested by Monroeville police and captured on video being dragged across the pavement toward a patrol car. Witnesses say he was on his knees and appeared unresponsive as family members called out to him, and that he had been pepper sprayed and tased multiple times before officers dragged him to the vehicle and loaded him inside. Within about 30 minutes, Tunstall was found unresponsive at the jail, given Narcan for a suspected overdose, taken to a hospital, and pronounced dead. As of today, state investigators have opened an in‑custody death investigation and sent his body for autopsy, but no cause of death has been released, no full explanation has been given for the stop or the force used, and no body camera footage has been made public. This has left his family with a viral video as their last image of him and no official answers to explain why he did not survive that encounter. His family deserves full transparency, the release of all available video footage, and a complete autopsy report that clearly explains the true cause of his death.

The Yurok Tribe has regained roughly 47,000 acres of ancestral land in California, marking the largest land-back agreement in the state’s history. This milestone follows a 23-year collaboration with Western Rivers Conservancy, culminating in a $56 million transfer of land along the Klamath River. For more than a century, this area—including the Blue Creek watershed—was controlled by logging companies, severing the tribe’s connection to a region central to their culture and identity. Now back under tribal stewardship, the land is being restored as a salmon sanctuary and community forest. Efforts will focus on protecting cold-water habitats, reviving traditional practices like controlled burns, and strengthening biodiversity—highlighting the vital role of Indigenous leadership in long-term environmental care.

⸻ I’m finishing this book. And I keep coming back to the same thing: Survivors were telling us the truth long before anyone was ready to hear it. What they described wasn’t random. It wasn’t isolated. It was structured. Controlled environments. Adults in positions of authority.

They’re rushing to build AI Data Centers here in Kentucky and across the U.S. They frame it as an “investment” into our communities. They make money hand over fist, and we get skyrocketing utility bills, polluted drinking water, and dried up natural resources. Families are even getting pushed out of their homes for these big money projects. AI must work for working people, not be another tool to exploit and screw us over. The people are pushing back. Enough is enough. Elon Musk and his billionaire boys club are on notice. We are going to flip this Senate seat and stand up for working people!

Despite knowing Clint Massie was abusing girls for years, church leaders never reported him to police. It felt like “a group of people who are not just trying to protect someone — but something,” the DA said. “They have enabled something awful here.” propublica.org/article/sexual…

DACA was not struck down. It was not repealed. The administration began detaining and deporting active DACA holders anyway. 260 detained since January 2025. 80 deported. His daughter is premature and in the NICU. He was arrested delivering her milk. The gap between the law on paper and the enforcement posture on the ground is where his family is living tonight.

Election deniers. Conspiracy theorists. Anti-voting activists. Big Lie true believers. By the time we hold our next presidential vote, they could be running our elections — including in some key swing states. democracydocket.com/news-alerts/th…

🚨POLICE CHIEF EXPOSED - LIVING IN IDAHO, RUNNING CALIFORNIA FROM 600 MILES AWAY Millbrae Police Chief Eamonn Allen is pulling in $464k a year in one of the most expensive parts of California, yet he bought a house 646 miles away in Boise, Idaho. Instead of commuting, he’s been sleeping in the taxpayer-funded bedrooms inside the police station. ABC7 just exposed it — and yeah, it looks bad."

Ireland just officially recognized the state of Palestine. Ireland joins Spain, Norway, Slovenia and over 140 other nations that have now formally acknowledged Palestinian statehood. The United States has not.

"The Logan Act (1 Stat. 613, 18 U.S.C. § 953,) is a United States federal law that criminalizes the negotiation of a dispute between the United States and a foreign government by an unauthorized American citizen."

Iran has named the U.S Officers that ordered the strike on the Minab girls school on February 28th & they’re Leigh Tate and Jeffrey York and not only did they torpedo it once they waited till parents came & the girls tried to flee and then tapped it two more times which is sick.

Russian agents are in Budapest. They are here to meddle with the election. Expect fake news, AI and even a potential false flag incident if Orban loses. Be cautious what you read over the next 24 hours. Disinformation will be in overdrive. Orban is not going to go quietly.

Annie Farmer was 16 when she reported being sexually abused by Epstein at Zorro Ranch in 1996. The U.S. Attorney who should have investigated never opened a case. Newly unearthed federal documents reveal why: he was Epstein’s own Power of Attorney for the ranch purchase. rawstory.com/jeffrey-epstei…
