thinkin about it

once again the unbelievable arrogance of roberts et al is going to genuinely destructive effects on the entire country

Learn French.

In the 24 hours since the Supreme Court's majority ruled to demolish the Voting Rights Act's remaining protections, Louisiana and Tennessee have already signaled that they'll redraw their congressional maps with the clear effect of shutting Black voters out.

Some days you’re full of piss & vinegar & ready to damn the torpedos to fight or die trying & sometimes the blues hit harder than a freight train & you’re utterly overwhelmed Been a week of the latter & I’m so damn tired of it

Christopher Lee cutting short direction from Peter Jackson on a scene with "Do you know what a man being stabbed in the back sounds like,Peter? I do."

really "funny" how schumer is totally fine with backing here but refused to get behind mamdani in the slightest. why you might even think there might be some particular biases going on here

The gutting of the voting rights act will lead to "the largest-ever decline in the number of Black representatives on Capitol Hill [ever] — breaking a record set around the end of the post-Civil War Reconstruction era." It's a purge of Black representation. www.npr.org/2026/04/30/n...

"how was your first day at work?" [longest cigarette draw in history] "pas bien"

Well, racism has certainly progressed, so no argument there!

Yeah, this is all reeking of Fetterman 2.0 at the least.

This kind of mixed use urban planning is illegal in America

Speaking as a historian, just wanna add that we are almost certainly going to receive an Era Name that none of us wants or expects

The Virginia state govt losing most of its electoral support and getting six months of bad press and constant attacks in order to scrape out four new districts while Florida does it overnight with no discussion or controversy is going to be the story of the next few years of post-VRA gerrymandering.

I don't think people fully understand yet just how fragile university-hosted digital resources are after external funding ends (especially if the lead academic retires or moves or is made redundant).

This is correct. There is no future of democratic self government in the US with an unreformed Supreme Court. The Court is riddled with corruption and abuses of power and rooting out that corruption is a sine qua non of civic democracy in the United States.

Just a reminder that the Voting Rights Act of 1965 was called, "An act to enforce the fifteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United States."

He's worse than Roger Taney now. He's the worst Chief Justice in history, I'd say.

Run more than a few TTRPG sessions that turned into this

Supreme Court Overturns ‘Right v. Wrong’ https://theonion.com/supreme-court-overturns-right-v-wrong-1819573211/

Read a book read one book in your life read almost any book idc JUST READ A FUCKING BOOK ALREADY you can even READ ONE ON YOUR COMPUTER and even on YOUR PHONE

The court has simply recreated the pre-Brown world in allowing racial discrimination across a broad number fields as long as it is “facially neutral,” gutting the Reconstruction Amendments in the process.

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.

Supreme Court rules Black voters had no rights which the white man was bound to respect

It needs to be said again: the real scandal of the White House Correspondent’s Dinner lies in the fact that hundreds of journalists were willing “to celebrate the First Amendment” with a President who undermines it every day.

Dems can't even radicalize themselves.

*taps the 1979 IBM management document*

Given this argument, I assume it's too dangerous for the President to go golfing anymore, right?

Really not looking forward to the media spin up & whatever crackdowns this kicks off … christ

This is such a flagship moment for where America is right now. Gun violence, showmanship, celebrity, mass confusion, and also according to C-SPAN, people are opening the bottles of wine still on the tables.

If this was, in fact, an active shooter situation, treating it like a minor inconvenience so you can go back to your fancy dinner is the most end-stage American capitalism display I could possibly imagine

Pour one out for the Hilton staff who are working perhaps the worst shift in food service history rn.

I know we’re not supposed to kink-shame a humiliation fetish but good god anyone going to the WHCA has fully given up what little spine they may have had

I have a hard time understanding how people think the ‘08 crash wasn’t life-altering, but then I’m biased given I was splitting cans of tuna for two meals while my parents were grappling w/ never being able to retire

Ironically, found in the sub-basement

It’s not a fascist allegory when it’s literally out of the playbook

Sub-Ron Burgandy omnishambles lmao, truly beyond parody.

BUT HER ... oh never mind

oy, and I cannot stress this enough, vey

All of this plus group DMs

with zero sarcasm this is good government and we should do this immediately
