Emboldened by our fascist GOP.

BREAKING: The Louisiana legislature passed a new congressional map eliminating one of the state's majority-Black districts. This is a blatant effort to consolidate political power in the hands of the state's white majority and deny Black people an equal opportunity to participate in our democracy.

WATCH— @aoc.bsky.social :“We’ve been taught to lower our expectations for things that a generation ago were afforded to every American. It didn’t feel like a fantasy to be able to have one job, support your family, go on vacation, and put some money in your pocket…” (From @marcofoster.bsky.social)

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr

Also covered in Heather Cox Richardsons post that I shared today in clear detail. It's a good thing. A very good thing.

"Google's own artificial intelligence team just staged one of the most stunning internal revolts in tech history — and it's aimed squarely at a deal the company signed with the Pentagon." via Your Daily Updates

Americans should be alarmed by any attempt to turn public power into a partisan slush fund. If billions are being steered toward organizations whose purpose is helping one party win elections, that is not governance, it’s the corruption of democracy itself.

Here's to hoping next to no one attends. I will celebrate 250 years in ways that have NOTHING to do with this current fascist administration.

This is our home. We have no place else to go. We must protect it at all costs. I will never understand why this idea is so hard for anyone. You will not live forever. Let me tell you something: I will go down fighting for her if I have to. For my children and grandchildren.

Cold? Not today #Cat #Caturday

Take a deep breath. Relax your jaw and shoulders. Take your shoes off and wiggle your toes. Pet a warm puppy. You'll feel better. ❤️❤️❤️

Silencing freedom of the press. Essential for all dictators.

NO 👇 LIES HERE, AS WELL.......

That *is* an answer.

Rep. Stansbury: "The [DOJ] is intervening on behalf of Pam Bondi to stop her from answering questions about what happened…and her conversations with Donald Trump…This is a cover-up. This will be remembered as the largest cover-up likely in American history."

YES!

The last 2 paragraphs, in my view, are particularly important to know. May 28, 2026 open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

"The Epstein class needed him gone. A threat from within the GOP was far more dangerous to them than one from outside it." -Jay Kuo

This case never should’ve happened in the first place. We fought back, refused to back down, and won.

As my daughter with Down syndrome often says, "Point well taken"

Exactly!

California. NYC. Lets ALL join the party! Colorado, lets be next!

This is Not my country. But I will do what I can to restore and stregthen it so no one has to live through something like this again.

🇺🇸🇺🇦🇺🇳 The United States did not join a joint statement by nearly 50 UN member states condemning Russia’s new threats to strike Kyiv and calls to evacuate foreign embassies. Read more 👀 theukrainianreview.info/u-s-declines...

A national watchdog group alleges Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche breached ethical rules in the Tennessee prosecution of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was cleared last week of criminal charges after a judge concluded the prosecution had been vindictive. @anitawadhwani.bsky.social reports.

Two days ago a sitting US Senator was pepper sprayed for protesting ICE and it didn’t even become national news.

Yeh I just watched it happen live. This is wild. The President of the United States has full blown Dementia and the nuclear codes.... oh yeh and started a War he can't escape.

Since I am no longer a US citizen, I will not be voting in the upcoming election but I will be watching the coverage. I urge EVERY AMERICAN who loves your country to VOTE because your very freedom depends on it. No one is coming to save you. You must save yourselves.

Every day, Donald Trump is attacking truth and trust. He’s desperate — his back is against the wall. And when you’re desperate, you’re prone to do anything.

Something that needs to be repeated EVERY SINGLE DAY! January 6th was an INSURRECTION… Trump was responsible. And everyone who participated is a criminal and a traitor. Period.

I KNOW!!!!!

What is a PATRIOT? This is a patriot to me.

BREAKING: Ethics complaint just filed against Pam Bondi — & it's damning She ran DOJ like a weapon — & now 100+ scholars, retired judges & retired FL Supreme Court Chief Justice Peggy Quince — joined by @democracydefendersfund.org @ldadorg.bsky.social & LFRL — are holding her accountable -TN

Stop the stupid unnecessary war. Release the Complete Epstein Files. No redactions.

Excellent news!

Colorado needs to do this as well. Along with following Montana and prohibiting corporate spending in politics.

The WH is getting 🗑️ ier by the hour. Credit cartoon @dennisgoris.bsky.social Let’s take our house back! November is coming! #VoteBlue
