Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

SCOTUS in 2022: Five months before Election Day is too late for Louisiana to redraw its GOP House map that harms Black voters. It must wait until 2024. SCOTUS in 2026: Louisiana may cancel its imminent primary—where >40,000 already voted—to enact basically the same old map that harms Black voters

Mockler: He took office and spiked 2.9% inflation, up to 3.8%. Gas prices are up to $4.50 in most states, and he did this all while stripping insurance away from 10 million Americans. I think the most impressive part is the deficit hasn't decreased at all.

Watching a series of former Confederate states rush to eliminate any vestige of black representation in the House pretty much answers the question whether the Voting Rights Act was still necessary.

the severe misread of youth by ai prophets is that at 22 you’re starving for agency. all your life you’ve waited to call your own shots. the idea that what you get instead is “tell the machine to draw a horse” is inherently offensive

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

If we actually want to appreciate moms, we should be providing free childcare, healthcare, and guaranteed income for stay-at-home parents to put more money in families’ pockets and ensure no SAHP is reliant on a partner for their economic security. Idk I think that’s better than 15% off a vacuum.

This is an exciting development in my world. Yes, it is a bit of a tangent from Hell Gate City, but I believe it will be an entertaining one. And the main show will go on as we wrap up Season 2. Each chapter-long episode will have its own original art--which is gorgeous. Psyched!

Happy Mom's Day! As you encounter handwringing about declining birthrates, as I did reading an NYT opinion piece today, take a peek at the disgusting beliefs beneath this propaganda. fair.org/home/the-reg...

watched this on repeat losing my shit for two nights now

Your regular reminder that when David Duke ran for statewide office in the early 1990s, the MAJORITY of white Louisiana voters pulled the lever for him. This was AFTER they’d seen the pictures of Duke in a Klan outfit and a Nazi uniform.

These ghouls have a soft eugenics agenda. The goal is to 'eliminate' poor people from society. Remove medical benefits that keep people alive and capable. It's slow murder.

A net loss of $404.1 million on $900k revenue? Trump Media is killin' it*! *its reason to exist

Repugnant!

Dear Corporate media: when covering Tennessee, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia and Louisiana now drawing new congressional maps so their congressional districts are whites only please note these were all former slave states that were part of the Confederacy who waged war on the USA.

This is an amazing video.

This is the 82-year-old state senator the FBI just raided because she successfully redistricted Virginia to match racist Republican redistricting efforts. They targeted her because she's ruthless and effective. They don't want anyone else to play within their new rules.

CEO pay rose 20 times faster than worker pay in 2025, per Oxfam. Overall, global worker pay declined 12% between 2019 and 2025 — while CEO pay rose 54% during the same time. Trickle-down economics was always a sham. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

funniest thing i’ve ever seen

One of my favourite sides of politics/media.

Excuse me did you just call being anti-data centers NIMBYism?

Mockler on Iran: We are watching the same people who defended these first two failed wars go on television and defend another failed war. I don't trust the same people who got us into the prior wars, amassed trillions of dollars in debt, and are not putting America first on the global stage.

They call them "data centers" because “mass-surveillance centers” would be harder to sell.

My resolution proposing a constitutional amendment to overturn the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision now has 79 co-sponsors. You can view the full list at: www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c.... I’ll keep fighting to get it across the finish line!

You're paying $8 for gas but thank god those seven trans athletes can no longer play sports and you can say "r*tard" again!

May the 4th be with y'all.

Pope Leo is the first Pope to have ever experienced the US healthcare system, so there's that

Two nights ago, I said Trump had been using our troops as pirates in Iran and a Republican got mad. Well… the president just admitted it. He literally bragged about doing piracy.

Absolutely extraordinary. The Democrats conceded *nothing* and got everything they demanded. They said no ICE/CBP funding, and that's precisely what happened. In other words, they did not cave. At all. But the GOP did—completely.

Richard Dawkins transitioned Claude AI into Claudia, anthropomorphized her, fell in love with her sycophantic attention, let her exploit his sleep disorder--further eroding his sanity--and now appears fully codependent upon a corporate chatbot.

Repugnant progression. Their ideology of exercising ever more control and limits on women and their bodies is sick and unjust. What is the endpoint?

You can be old and sharp. The Senate as an institution is mostly flotsam save for this dude. www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3At... #privacy #bernie

🚨BREAKING: A new lawsuit is challenging Louisiana’s decision to suspend congressional primaries already underway — arguing the state is illegally nullifying votes and plunging an active election into chaos following the Supreme Court’s gutting of the VRA. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Imagine the thrill of a lifetime in going all the way to the moon... And then coming back and being forced to meet with this piece of trash.

Cole Allen sent the linked text to his family before the WHCD attack. The NY Post calls it "a sprawling, crazed manifesto." Trump said, "He hates Christians." What? It was 10 apologies, a clear explanation, and gratitude for his church and community. I see suicide note. nypost.com/2026/04/26/u...

If you were horrified watching elected leaders run & scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed. Now, become a part of the solution & only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.

every few months, americans are asked to resume their banquet and pretend a shooting didn't just happen
