The activists of the Civil Rights Movement secured the passage of the Voting Rights Act through unrelenting advocacy, despite violent opposition from those in power. Now the Supreme Court has upended the protections people put their lives on the line for generations ago, but we're not backing down.

BTC: Is Trump distracting us by releasing the UFO files? @neildegrassetyson.com: "If you're not releasing all the [UFO] files at once, that gives you other occasions for distraction... You want a real distraction? Bring out the alien. Then the world will be focused on that. Epstein who?"

www.bbc.com/news/article... It must be because of all the lies she told.

Facts are facts.

Hell I'd piss on his grave 🪦. I know some that would even defecate. He's hated by millions

So maybe they were very fertile & frequent. The Duggars are deeply unwell though... it didn't turn out well for them. Having a lot of children means less attention from parents including supervision.

At least 220 people are believed to have died from the Ebola outbreak in Central Africa. The World Health Organization says that it is spreading so quickly that response efforts are struggling to keep pace. https://to.pbs.org/4uuGbTz

This plan is actively *insane.* Airlines cannot divert large numbers of international flights from one city to another; they'd just have to cancel flights en masse, causing enormous economic damage that splashed waaaaay beyond a few big cities that were the target.

"He’s got us in a situation that’s worse than it was before. A more extreme regime, Strait of Hormuz now is a leveraging point for them.” “This weak nation has put America in a stalemate, & Trump is being played as the fool that he is for getting us into this in the first place.” ~ Cory Booker

Limiting discussion of racism and gender is antithetical to our Constitution which was arguably one of the most racist and sexist documents in democratic history until the post Civil War amendments. Ignoring the diversity of our society is not the answer. #NorthCarolina #RuleOfLaw #VoteBlue

A million Americans died from Covid because of Trump’s lies, mischaracterizations, and poor policy. It continued into the Biden administration until Biden enough of the country got vaccinated to slow it down. Republicans are complicit. #NeverForget #NorthCarolina

I know they have names for a grouping of almost all animals. A murder of crows. A pack of wolves. A wisdom of owls. etc I don’t know if there is a name for a group of humans. If not, let me propose: A greed of humans.

Cornyn didn't learn the lesson that the only way to defeat a bully is to fight back. He submitted to Trump instead. When you try to straddle the fence, you end up under the bus.

Plastic explosives, grenades were recovered from the Beech Avenue home once owned by a former military demolitions instructor, said authorities

Can someone please explain to me WHY it is that Israel thinks it can just go in and seize the lands of other people without any consequences? I am mystified. Please shed light on this for me.

While folks are talking about corporations funding campaigns, don’t overlook Tom Steyer. He’s his own special interest group. Steyer dumped over $190 mill into his own campaign, money built from fossil fuels & private prisons. 📌 Spending 3X more on himself than all the other candidates combined.

So unbelievably angry. This is blatant child abus, a shocking escalation in the kind of everyday violence against trans kids that has already cost lives. Everyone involved in enacting this must resign, and every teacher, counselor, and social worker must be vociferous in our condemnation. Get loud.

A private practice scandal is shadowing Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. Vanity Fair reported on an ongoing lawsuit that claims Blanche overcharged the Kaplan twins by millions, withheld evidence, and even forged their signatures on an engagement letter — allegations Blanche denies.

Democrats in Congress??? What are you doing to save our country? You drank the Kool-aid to get along and we've lost our Democracy. How are we supposed to save our country when you won't stand up for it???? I suppose you've been bought like the Republicans. Memorial Day means nothing now.

The South Carolina Senate abruptly adjourned its special redistricting session Tuesday without passing a redistricting bill — a setback for President Donald Trump’s campaign to rig the 2026 midterms. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Time to say it again: The US military cannot save us. Were the military to initiate unilateral action to remove an elected President, it would mean the end of the Union. It is the job of the Legislature to remove a President. Failing that, it becomes the job of We the People. Hard days comin’.

Taking it seriously, this would shut down essentially every major international airport in the US that's not in Florida or Texas.

James Talarico: Ken Paxton is morally unfit for office. He’ll lie to you with a straight face. He’s failed the character test. He’s the most corrupt Attorney General of our lifetime. Those aren’t my words. Those are the words of Ken Paxton’s fellow Republicans.

Hmm. A “6 month physical” followed by cancelling a trip to Camp David because of… *checks notes* scattered thunderstorms. Sure, sure.

Murkowski, Tillis, and two other GOP Senators who recognize Trump's power-drunk, autocratic bent, and the harm he is doing, should declare themselves Independents, say they're prepared to caucus with Dems so as to flip the Senate now, then issue demands. Four GOP Senators WOULD have that power.

Abolish ICE Detention Camps
