just unbelievably spitting mad at this garbage fuck these people, rewrite all the rules and lock every one of these white supremacist assholes out of power forever

Black people are giving it these Confederates raw and uncut. This is how it’s gonna be now. You wonder what we’re thinking? It’s this. I believe this is activist Gary Chambers again in Louisiana.

AOC on possibly running for the Senate or President: They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.

Was putting campaign signs up and realized it was a metaphor.

FWIW: This is essentially John Roberts’s “reasoning” in Skrmetti, so, yeah, don’t laugh too hard.

There is no clearer case for the necessity of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 than how quickly southern states moved to eliminate Black-majority districts and dilute Black power after SCOTUS eroded Section 2. SCOTUS’s reasoning was immediately disproven by reality.

8 days. That’s how long it took Tennessee Republicans to gut a majority-Black Memphis district after SCOTUS gutted the Voting Rights Act. Louisiana, Alabama, and South Carolina are next. They’re not even hiding it anymore.

Again. But we have to fight every inch of the way before November. Watch the full interview here: youtu.be/SCse1FFEKLM

When I came out of law school in 2006, DOJ's prestige was such that liberal and conservative graduates alike would have gladly stepped over their friends' dead bodies to get a position there. Trump has ruined it now to the point they're having to bribe new graduates to apply.

Hard to see so many basic rights being dismantled and not view the Biden interregnum as a total failure. His presidency was premised on restoring institutions and stability, and so many of the wins achieved have already been undone by Trump (as well as 50+ years of progress).

This is so inspiring! We can have nice things like 2 weeks vacation, double time for overtime, lower prescription drugs prices, etc. Let’s go!

What would you do with an extra $3,800? That number is how much has been taken from you, and gifted to the the oil and gas industry. I'm running to fight for every penny you earn. I'm running to take this money out of the hands of corrupt politicians and put it back in your pocket, where it belongs.

Unbelievable. This Administration uses incompetence as a shield against accountability at each and every opportunity. Betting on the lives of our service members, on war, on assassination, and on death is morally indefensible.

Why is it so hard to get the people we love back to what’s real? Because propaganda doesn’t feel like propaganda. It feels familiar.

I still cant get over this. How you steal somebody's life... (he was 28 years incarcerated for a crime he DID NOT commit) He gets out, gets a law degree. Runs for office.... WINS... and then they steal the job

Call her and let her know you want her to do this.

Refresher on how #gerrymandering works. SCOTUS just approved 3rd map.

I did my first 5K today at the Boise River Marathon. I’m 58. Really enjoyed being a part of it all. My doctor suggested I try it and I’m so glad I did. There’s a huge range of ages and skill levels and everyone was super welcoming. And there were dogs! Just a great morning all around.

Starting a 🧵 on Georgia early voting, as we build toward the major 5/19 elections that'll decide 2 supreme court seats (boltsmag.org/georgia-supr...). On morning of May 2nd —201K have voted. —54% picked up Dem ballot; 45% the GOP ballot. —34.7% are Black. —45.6% are in 10 biggest blue counties.

@mainemorningstar.com There are two other democrats in the running. David and myself. I had to fill out paperwork with the Secretary of State’s office to become a declared write-in candidate and I’m the only person who did so. 1/2

Pope Leo named Bishop Evelio Menjivar-Ayala, a formerly undocumented immigrant who was smuggled into the U.S. in a car trunk, to be bishop of West Virginia. Menjivar has publicly called for Catholics to speak out against President Trump’s treatment of immigrants. https://wapo.st/49gVeHJ

Wow! $5,000 of the $10,000 goal has been raised so far! Thank you, Charles Gaba for helping raise awareness about Idaho Democrats. #Idaho #LetsGo #Blue26 #IDpol

Struggling with getting used to talking about the VRA in the past tense. Feels a little like processing a death.

Switzerland is putting solar panels on all the empty space between train tracks. If done in the UK this would take 20,000,000 Solar Panels and would provide 8GW of electricity.

You can either have a democracy or a Republican Party, but you can't have both.

🧡Come by The Potter’s Center in Boise on Sunday 5/3 between 10:00 and 4:00. There will be a raffle, wheel demos, a pottery swap and prizes! I love this studio and the lovely people that work there! #Boise #Pottery #Ceramics #Idaho 🙌🫖🪴☕️🏺🥣🙌

The 2026 and 2028 elections are going to be decided by gerrymandering. I don't want to hear of a single Democratic state legislature that isn't fully committed to maximizing the gain in seats for the party. This is a political war that needs to be won.

Umich is doing a Dem primary poll about Minnesota, Michigan and Iowa for those interested. Per a subsequent tweet on X, it is anonymous and e-mail address is not collected.

yeah, so two things. first, i have been saying for some time that *this* is the message. and that it is a broad one that can fit a large number of concerns. and second, this dude has the juice.

Chuck Schumer: - can no longer recruit and cultivate winning Senate candidates - is wildly out of step with Democrats on foreign policy - refused to endorse the most popular Democrat in America, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani There is no reason to keep him as leader. He must go.

Important thread.

6. Republicans will use Callais to give themselves up to 19 more seats in the House of Representatives (probably fewer; I'd guess closer to 10). But Democrats can use it to "unpack" their VRA districts and flip a bunch of red districts. In fact, courts might force them to. slate.com/news-and-pol...

I can't believe this. @normcharlatan.bsky.social you're a Minnesota Legend, my man.

Okay, this is a new chapter of insane. The US (that’s us) is paying companies to walk away from clean energy wind projects. 900 MILLION…just to walk away. This is after we’ve paid another company 1 BILLION to also walk away. In the meantime, consumers costs continue to rise.

Within minutes of the WHCD events, leading MAGA social media accounts where publishing textually identical messages about how the incident demonstrated the need to finish Trump's ball room project. Hoe exactly could something like that even happen?

Exactly this. 💯

Notice that the Trump regime is not just blaming one violent person for what happened Saturday night. It’s blaming 8 million peaceful “No Kings” protesters as well as you and me posting peacefully on social media. Trump isn't opposed to violence. He's opposed to resistance.

NEW: Katie Phang is suing DOJ over alleged “brazen” violations of the Epstein Files Transparency Act. She says DOJ missed deadlines, over-redacted, and withheld records tied to Jeffrey Epstein—including references to Trump. The suit seeks full disclosure and a special master to oversee compliance.

Anyone suggesting we should stop accurately pointing out factual ways that the president is wrecking this country on a daily basis, or expressing an opinion about that, because of something a random nut does is espousing a profoundly un-American concept that I completely reject.

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.

Trump doesn’t understand what a reflecting pool is. Anyway, here’s Reflecting Pool by Let’s Active from 1986. youtu.be/UiwL9XabzgQ?...
