Attacking a federal district judge as an “activist” for issuing a lawful ruling is an assault on judicial independence. A democracy cannot function when executive agencies denigrate judges for doing their jobs.

Day 72 of nonstop national protests, in Georgia people also have jobs but they make the time to defend democracy and challenge the oligarchy.

We elected you to Congress to be a check on executive power, not a spectator.
You swore an oath to defend the Constitution, not to protect a man who threatens democracy, threatens war, and threatens the future.
Stop hiding behind voters.
Stop punting responsibility.

No-Show jobs on the Taxpayers’ dime. “Bonus:” The VOA journos and producers are civil servants who formerly communicated accurate small-d democracy oriented stories to nations worldwide that were and are battling authoritarianism. 🤦🏽♀️
WaPo - More than a year after the Trump administration attempted to dismantle Voice of America, it is paying an estimated $1.6 million a week to keep 420 of its staffers on administrative leave. wapo.st/4j1UpbF

Hearing more & more of this banal argument that Dems talked “democracy” but Trump talked “jobs,” as if they’re separate things. Jobs, the price of eggs, housing, functional schools—that *is* democracy. Dems abstracted it; Trump hijacked it.

China threatening democracy in Taiwan and taking U.S. jobs might not be a top concern to those in the U.S. who are obliterating democracy and jobs in the U.S. is my thinking.

All their psychological problems with democracy and the modern world come down to seeing black people working jobs other than railroad porter.
I told you federal jobs are a shorthand for minority employment for the Right.

THOUSANDS of men and women have died for this country because they were told they were DEFENDING DEMOCRACY.
The GOP members of congress will not even risk their jobs to save our country. Think about that. They risk nothing more than have to find another job after the next election.

A love of formalism and rules, of law and order and democracy without an endpoint of a bold program of social justice necessarily falls flat. It’s front row kid stuff. “Democracy” pursuant single payer healthcare or jobs guarantee provides a vision. Democracy for its own sake is just an empty slogan

The 2020 election was the most examined in U.S. history. Recounts, audits, & sixty court cases all confirmed the same outcome. Election workers did their jobs under extraordinary scrutiny & got it right. Perpetuating false claims undermines trust in the system that protects everyone's vote.

Dear @warnock.senate.gov,
We are alarmed.
and one of the things that terrifies us, is the fact that we see you and your colleagues doing nothing towards impeaching and removing the dire threat to our democracy.
Every day, all we see is inaction. Do your jobs.

The real counter to "people are too stupid for democracy" is that the elites are by all appearances even stupider. The average person falls for TikTok cheapfakes meanwhile the average elite thinks transgender sports are a tractable policy-based concern and that AI will replace all jobs in 2 years

Countless people across Slovakia protested against the Trump / Putin friendly PM Fico. They gathered despite having jobs or fearing arrest, to defend democracy; show the world they aren't complying with fascists.
