Question: Why would the Super Bowl ever come to a Jim Crow state that intentionally strips representation from Black people? cc: NFL

So apparently it isn’t racism if white legislators remove all black voting districts thus disenfranchising black voters from being able to elect a single black legislator ever?

Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social burns a confederate flag in the rotunda after the House passed 9-0 maps stripping Memphis of representation… #Memphis #JimCrow @MarshaBlackburn @GovBillLee

On its third attempt tonight, Marblehead Town Meeting approved an “MBTA Communities–compliant” district largely centered on the 125-year-old Tedesco Country Club, meeting 3A requirements on paper while all but assuring no new housing would be built. This comment says it all.

Watching an old Simpsons s10e9, and saw the chalkboard gag in a new light. "'The President did it' is not an excuse"

Dear God yes. This "Make a deal" bullshit is a reminder that we're slaves and numbers to these fucks. This isn't a TV show, and the newsmedia has a responsibility to stop playing into their games for views and ad dollars

We have truly gone back in time to the McCarthy era. This is such an obvious retaliation against Louise Lucas for her important leadership during Virginia’s redistricting fight. Punish your political enemies, smear dissent, weaponize government power.

Don't forget: my old Yale Law classmate Clarence Thomas refused to recuse from Jan. 6 cases despite his wife's involvement in the plot. And he's taken at least 100 gifts worth over $2 million while serving, including from GOP donor Harlan Crow. He's a disgrace to the Court.

Attention all men. More of this, please.

Codifying Roe, passing the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, and holding members of this administration criminally accountable are important goals, but none of it sticks without Supreme Court reform.

Yes I am.

HAPPENING NOW… marching on the Capitol…. #NewJimCrow @GovBillLee

Sad thing is, I expect most Americans to not know about this.

If you're mad about having to pay several streaming services a ton of money to watch your baseball team play, you should want to tax the rich. If you're mad about the average day at the ballpark costing $225, you should want to tax the rich.

Sorry I didn’t post video on May Day- but I was busy arguing for press rights with an -out of control LAPD. Earlier in the day they cuffed both Alexis & William. After arresting LA Press Club attorney Weston Rowland- they arrested my colleague Nick Stern and refused to let me take his cameras.

I defy anyone to explain this on neutral legal principles.

NEW: Study finds attending a Major League ball game costs an average $225 — thanks to higher ticket and concession prices. Every MLB team owner is in the richest 0.1% and will receive an average $286,000 in tax breaks this year. Giving the rich more money helps no one but them.

Do the laws not apply to the rich and wealthy? Kleptocracy? Quid pro quo. Bribery. You name it. All of this is wrong and illegal. Shameful.

Happy May Day Brothers and Sisters

Hey, hey, it's MAY DAY. You know what to do... No School! No Work! No Shopping! #TaxTheOligarchs

🚨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/...

This👇🏽 deserves to be posted 100 times but I’d be labeled spam.

Folks in game dev are notoriously hard on themselves, and can often drive themselves into burnout when they should be resting. But you could probably stand to hear this even if you aren't in game dev yourself.

Kidnapping by masked ICE goons on Erwin and Simpson in San Fernando Valley.

NEW: HOLY HELL. Remember when I asked how soon it would be before Blanche filed notice with the court that the shooting justifies the ballroom and the National Trust should drop its case?? Well late tonight, Blanche filed and INSANE motion to dissolve the court injunction. Check this out: 1/

We did! We passed a bill to fund the Secret Service and TSA and FEMA 100-0. If Speaker Johnson would just call it for a vote, it would pass. That’s the problem.

"Do you regret your heated rhetoric?" "No. Do you regret your chilled rhetoric? Do you regret sitting on the sidelines as norms fell away and so many laws were broken? Do you regret pretending like this was all normal and you alone were savvy enough to see that Both Sides Are To Blame?"

Tell me again that shit wasn’t staged.

They think we are all stupid. 🤬

New photos from the USS Abraham Lincoln show service members receiving minimal food portions as reports grow that some troops have lost significant weight and aren’t receiving care packages—while the Pentagon denies any shortages. (Newsweek)

🚨BREAKING: Internal emails between DOJ personnel suggest that, from the very outset of the effort to obtain sensitive voter data from states — much earlier than previously known — officials there planned to share it with the DHS. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Exactly. Blanche is the one who cut a deal with Maxwell to waive her sex offender status. He got her “out custody” and moved her to club fed. He’s the Michael Cohen of the Epstein era.

They cut SNAP, Medicaid, ACA subsidies and cancer research so we could bail out Argentina, the UAE, farmers and Spirit Airlines.

You can’t talk about the unhoused in California without talking about access to mental health services, not just housing costs. Both matter. Ronald Reagan dismantled the mental health system.

They paused Oversight Committee hearings the minute we started getting answers about the Epstein files. Now it’s “roundtables”: no rules, no oaths, no subpoenas. You do the math. Because the moment accountability shows up, they shut it down. The survivors deserve better.

Thankx to THE BOSS for having Public Enemy perform at Springsteen Center American Music Honors ,, we should all always continue to FIGHT THE POWER

I always thought Sun Tzu's "Art of War" was a little simplistic and obvious but it turns out yes, you do literally need to tell the Secretary of War "you need to feed your troops and keep them from being wiped out by preventable diseases"

One I hope every sports reporter reads, because Stephanie seldom is acknowledged. Because of her, I never doubted there was a place for women in sports media. From @annkillion Stephanie Salter, pioneering sportswriter and S.F. columnist, dies at 76 www.sfchronicle.com/sports/artic...

Emails released on Monday by California’s attorney general show Amazon allegedly colluding with other companies to raise the prices of pet treats, khaki pants, eyedrops and other products sold online

Say what you will about the worst members of the Roberts Court, but they all make sure their wives are in on the grift. Jane Roberts, Martha Alito and Ginni Thomas are equal partners with their husbands in the grand project of destroying the United States and enriching themselves in the process.

The Infowars news is funny, yes. But more importantly, it is an outright rebuke of Alex Jones' evil. It's testament to the strength and resilience of the Sandy Hook families who survived this bullshit for more than a decade as well as the Onion, which didn't give up on this for the last 18 months.

BREAKING: Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer has resigned.

📌MEDIA: Stop calling Jared Kushner a "high-level negotiator." He's a damn thief operating in his repulsive family's best interests not ours.

Drunk snowflake Kash is still crying.

Today is the 251st anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

Clarence Thomas really thought he was Icon when that man is a whole supervillain.
