Yesterday, progressive Dems won some races, liberal Dems won some, and moderate Dems won some. Which shows that we’re all needed right now. I’m tired of certain folks acting like it’s got to be their way of the highway. Because a coalition of different kinds of Democrats is how we win.

Normalize not letting bigots get away with referring to their bigotries as their consciences. Happy Pride Month.

The low-hanging fruit is Blanche and maybe half a dozen others involved with the "fund." You campaign on putting them in prison, no one will stop you. "Intent to defraud," "two billion of your money to insurrectionists, crooks..." No one dares. That's how you get people used to the idea.

The 'panic' around Lia Thomas was about creating a target people could point at while demanding exclusion. So much of what people “know” about Lia comes from manufactured outrage and years of misinformation repeated without context. We commissioned this comic to break down the actual story. 1/2

If you are under 35 and you see this post, please respond yes or no as to whether you recognize the name Alfred E. Neuman. Be honest. I’m so curious about this.

I think a lot about these words of wisdom on voting from the two Rebeccas: “Voting is a chess move, not a valentine.” — @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social “We don’t vote for candidates we admire so much as we vote for the next fight that we want to have.” — @rfkuang.bsky.social

I had to put this down for a couple days because I haven’t been feeling well but this need is 52% funded AND I have someone offering to *match* contributions!! Only $1105 to go! 🌻

Reminder that formerly enslaved Black people started Memorial Day. It was initially called Decoration Day as they decorated the graves of Union troops. “As He died to make men holy let us die to make men free”

It’s a plan!!

My scrupulously honest elderly widowed pensioner mother quakes with fear every time she sends her taxes to the IRS, and these mendacious grifting billionaires are exempt from consequences of their proven tax cheating? Sure, that makes sense.

The Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room “has attracted a steady stream of visitors to 101 Reade Street…The files, printed and bound, take up 3,437 volumes, each about two inches thick; all told, they weigh more than eight tons.“ www.nytimes.com/2026/05/13/s...

God, I can’t even look at that guy.

'Late Night' host Seth Meyers had the perfect response to Dr. Oz's bizarre "under-babied" terminology.

Going to Selma Saturday? It’s time to let your voice be heard. #goodtrouble

John Oliver on the Supreme Court: "It was a 6-3 decision in the case of White People vs. Everybody — and you’ll never guess who they ruled in favor of”

Over at “One First,” I wrote about how the redistricting chaos we’re seeing in Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Tennessee, and Virginia is something #SCOTUS *chose,* and how it belies both the entire purpose of the “Purcell principle” and the Court’s claim that it’s staying out of the political process:

“Cotton-picking hands” aimed at a Black man in 2026, and Republicans still have the nerve to ask why Black voters want nothing to do with the party of bigots. 📌 A host referred to Hakeem Jeffries as having “cotton-picking hands,” and Republican Rep. Jen Kiggans responded: “Yes to that.”

i will simply incant "do NOT corrupt me. make NO mistakes" before wielding the One Ring

The SCOTUS majority is an ideological wrecking ball. It ignores its own past decisions so it can speed the erasure of Black people’s power and our #votingrights. It ignores that race discrimination remains real. This is a metaphorical civil war and the Roberts Court started it.

I wish I didn’t know as much about the end of Reconstruction as I do. If you understood what is being unleashed now, how it will touch every aspect of our civic life, and how difficult it will be to undo it, you wouldn’t be able to think about anything else.

Why should I have to pay tax on my “in case I want to go to New York” mansion. It’s my money, all mine!

Like every Mother's Day today I am asking that you consider a donation to @nationalbailout.bsky.social to help free mamas who are separated from their families by the injustices of pretrial detention systems. secure.actblue.com/donate/freeb...

This Mother’s Day, let’s remember: Woman didn’t come from man’s rib. He came from *her* womb. One of patriarchy’s biggest lies is naming the father as the life-giver.

A web page just told me everything it learned about me without asking. It knew my city, my device, my GPU, and how long I hesitated before scrolling. sinceyouarrived.world/taken

There are so many unjust and sad things in the world that make me feel helpless. This is different - we can make a difference for Black mamas and their babies. Join me? #freeblackmamas #mothersday2026

It’s that time of year – we’re bailing out Black mamas and caregivers with your support for Mother’s Day! We’re organizing with 13 Black-led organizations all across the U.S. this Mother's Day to help Black mamas and caregivers return home to their families. bit.ly/freeblackmamas2026

Zelensky has issued a presidential decree “allowing” Russia to hold its annual Victory Day parade in Moscow. The decree provides exact coordinates of the Red Square that shall be excluded from the list of Ukrainian strike targets. Phenomenal power play.

We've reached the point where one party has so obliterated the rule of law that everyone else continuing to abide by it will only hasten the end of our democracy. That's a recipe for chaos and violence. It's terrifying, and I don't know what we do about it.

yes. change the statute on which this decision turned and redistrict according to the legitimacy conferred by the people of the state

Folks, pls don't share photos godforsaken Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social thieves circulate. Screenshot of a tweet looks like crap. No credit to photographer, a Black man. Support @nashvillebanner.bsky.social! Credit: Martin B. Cherry/Nashville Banner nashvillebanner.com/2026/05/07/t...

Yup. Your job as regular person is not to parse whether particular policies are 'realistic' or 'possible.' You are supposed to actually demand what you need to live a dignified life.

SCOTUS voting rights decision “will usher in a bleaching of the nation’s legislative bodies unlike anything this country has seen since the “Redemption” of 1873–1877 ended Reconstruction and returned white supremacists to power throughout the South“ www.nybooks.com/online/2026/...

We can’t nominate any Democrat who doesn’t put Supreme Court reform at the top of their list.

Proud Boys associate, Ben Bergquam, is embedded with DHS agents today and was spotted during an abduction in Wheaton, Illinois.

"Brenda" a mother of two, works in the strawberries. "I harvest strawberries and it's a very hard job. I work in the rain, heat, cold, to earn enough take care of my family. I work very hard to earn enough for rent, food & whatever else is needed." #WeFeedYou

I fear that not enough people are making this connection: at the same time the extremist 5th Circuit is telling us that mifepristone is too dangerous to be sent through the mail… the extremist Trump administration wants us to mail our guns. My latest: dot-connecting.ghost.io/when-the-gov...

Many of you are asking how you can help me. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tel everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket for free and share its content with everyone you know. Thanks. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

"Trump is a bad person" didn't work in the last election. People already know that, but many pretend he will help them anyway. TRY: "You hoped Trump would help you. But Donald only helps himself. He's pocketed billions while making you poorer, thanks to his high inflation, tariffs, & gas prices."

*slaps the roof of SCOTUS* This thing can fit so many more justices

None of these people should have a day of peace at a restaurant, the grocery store, the theater ANYWHERE!!

One of the most clarifying passages I've ever read on what "polarization" actually means in the U.S."

Justice Roberts has achieved his fondest ambition. Disgusting.

Someone ran past a metal detector and was stopped. A floor above the dinner. It was terrible it happened, and i have not seen a SINGLE PERSON in office say otherwise But they are milking all of this for all its worth. Playing themselves all to be victims all the time. It’s exhausting
