Suspension of elections in order to rig them sounds like something Grant would've sent troops to quell in the 1870s.

Here’s my piece on the “now-completed demolition” of the Voting Rights Act in @thenation.com The VRA is the most important piece of legislation in American history. It more than anything is what ended American-style apartheid. And now Republicans have killed it.

Louisiana Gov Jeff Landry has started a Civil War.

@schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social need to be removed. ASAP.

It's also an OVERTURNING of LAW that Conress passed. AKA an OVERTURNING voting of the PEOPLE.

as long as john roberts has his majority, there is simply no pro democracy reform that will survive the supreme court. none.

People will be closely studying how Hungary's opposition pulled off their win in such a pro-incumbent system. Important to note that the theme was corruption. Democrats need to get much better at calling out Trump's corruption.

"you can elect anyone you want as long as it is a white republican"

In a city of over 8 million, just 400 people showed up to speak at the last Rent Guidelines Board hearing — where decisions about rents are made. We can do better. The next hearings are this June — show up and make your voice heard. Visit ORGANIZE.NYC.GOV to get involved.

Call your Reps and Senators tomorrow. DHS and ICE ALREADY have more money, gas, food, than the average American. But they need more than YOU do? Fuck that.

Call your Reps and Senators. DHS and ICE ALREADY HAVE MORE MONEY THAN YOU.

No, I mean it. Seriously wishing for John Roberts, Alito's, Thomas' late stage pancreatic cancer diagnosis.

Wishing for a gigantic aortic aneurysm for John Roberts and the Conservative SCOTUS majority.

If we need to start a new underground railroad, I'm in. Fuck the Southern Strategy Politicians in the ass with 5,000 CHAINSAWS

MAGA men sure do like admiring each others genitals.

In 1998, a court decided that a woman's denim jeans meant she must have consented to being raped. This horrifying ruling inspired Denim Day, a day for sexual violence awareness and solidarity with survivors.

1966-1999: SCOTUS rejects various challenges to VRA 2006: VRA reauthorized with 98-0 senate vote 2008: Obama elected 2013-2026: SCOTUS dismantles VRA

Do what you have to do to save your own lives, and the lives of your children.

What's hard to fathom is that "The Market" doesn't understand that Trump and his regime are doing this purposefully to destroy the US economy.

a double spike day I don't believe in my ~20 years I've ever seen this- $4.79, then updated to $4.99. unprecedented. what's even more wild that the market has completely gone insane is that all 3 markets are the SAME- MI/IN/OH

A tip it you're a child in your late 30s or early 40s. Make sure your parents put your name on their accounts so you can handle things if they end up in the hospital.

THE USA GOVT IS CURRENTLY A MAFIA STATE AND SHOULD BE TREATED AS SUCH i.e. CONVICTED AND THROWN IN A DUNGEON AND/OR TRIED IN THE HAGUE. Period. Everyone knows it. Everyone agrees, with the exceptions of Putin and Netanyahu and you know why that is.

pretty tough puzzle cause i cropped the date off but see if you can guess when trump invaded iran

It's such a breath of fresh air to see @aoc.bsky.social stand against gutting our tax base.

What do conservatives always say when liberals criticize a Supreme Court decision? "Get Congress to pass a law," right? That is EXACTLY what happened here. In 1982, Congress explicitly overruled a Court case that narrowly interpreted the VRA. Today, Sam Alito said, nope, we were right all along.

The Trump regime is nearly done destroying the US for Putin. Will you stand up and try to stop them?

Huh. Weird. 1 mention on the front page. I guess fifty percent of the population-regardless of race is not worthy of more real estate on the front page.

Headlines saying this Supreme Court decision "curtails the use of race" in voting are going to make me have a stroke. It empowers white supremacy. It does not curtail the use of race.

There are people still living who fought — and watched their compatriots be murdered — for the passage of this act and to attempt to democratize America. To see it completed felled in the span of their OWN lifetime is just absolutely devastating.

NO LIES DETECTED

Whiteness 👏 is 👏 the 👏 use 👏 of 👏 race 👏

KHANNA: Do you know how much it will cost Americans in terms of the increased cost of gas and food because of the Iran war? HEGSETH: You're playing gotcha about domestic things KHANNA: You're saying it's a gotcha question to ask about increased costs?! It's $5,000 a year for American households

We must understand that the Voting Rights Act was not merely about ensuring Black Americans rights, it was about democratizing America. This ruling is not just a decimation of Black rights and Black Americans’ ability to have representation, it is a fatal blow to multiracial democracy.

SCOTUS rules 6-3 against a majority Black district in LA represented by Black Rep Cleo Fields, holding that the district is a “racial gerrymander.” This is systemic white supremacy. Next Dem pres & Congress must expand the Court, impose term limits & prosecute corrupt justices. Complete overhaul.

Just a reminder that in Shelby County, Roberts told us not to worry about the loss of VRA preclearance, because we’d still have VRA sec. 2 suits. That was, of course, disingenuous nonsense even at the time. Now, with Brnovich and Calllais, it’s all the more so.

The ICE agent who shot and killed Renee Good in Minneapolis—and then called her a “fucking bitch” moments before she died in her car—was only placed on three days of administrative leave and continues to work for the agency in another state. trib.al/C3bEEAM

“There are those who are banking on this catastrophic war as a means to lock in massive oil infrastructure before the coming bust. They are trying to defy the transition to renewables as the world is plunged into permanent climate instability.” - @charlieangus104.bsky.social

HEGSETH: Their nuclear facilities have been obliterated SMITH: Whoa whoa. We had to start this war, you said, bc the nuclear weapon was an imminent threat. Now you're saying it was obliterated? HEGSETH: They had not given up their *ambitions* S: So Operation Midnight Hammer accomplished nothing

your honor, my client is an enormous piece of shit who makes being an enormous piece of shit the center of everyone's attention daily, and the problem is the people who've noticed that

A federal judge has dismissed the Justice Department's lawsuit seeking Arizona's unredacted voter rolls — ruling the department has no legal right to obtain the records it has demanded from states nationwide.

No one is talking about this. The James Comey CHARGES aren’t the story. It’s that DOJ sought an ARREST WARRANT. Donald Trump doesn't care about a prosecution or a successful conviction. He wants a mugshot.

#FidelityInvestments doing it's best, with YOUR money, to support white supremacy and the KKK. Pull your money asap.

Sick and disgusting Trump Nazi regime

CBS didn’t air some particularly troubling rants, which depict a man who is much more petulant and incoherent than the broadcast would suggest. Read the entire transcript in full here: trib.al/mVertTn
