🚨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/...

Yiiiiikes

Hell of a graph

it's ... an insurance program! that we've paid into our entire lives! (And once you're eligible, you still have to pay premiums! it's not a freebie!)

Increasingly, these pressers seem like an opportunity for Trump to get information from the media about what is happening outside of his bubble, not the opposite.

Ata boy Banksy

How is this being treated as normal? A Republican governor is declaring a state of emergency to cancel n ongoing election for Congress. If you think this is ends with redistricting, you are not paying attention.

John Roberts and Sam Alito really took the last tiny brake off this runaway train yesterday, and all of the worst people are not only running with it, but — importantly — also taking it as a sign that, yet again, they can and should go even further.

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.

All our sports heads are falling off.

Can't wait to get my new passport!

Don't call it "expanding" SCOTUS. And, for God's sake, don't call it "court-packing." Call it **right-sizing** the Court. (There are 13 circuits now -- not the 9 circuits there were when it was set at 9 justices 157 effing yrs ago!) Or call it *modernizing* the Court. Thank you.

i have serious misgivings about Graham Platner but I hope he wins and conducts his office in a way that makes me feel that I was wrong to doubt. I would vote for him if I lived in Maine despite my misgivings because we know exactly who Collins is and she's bad.

People will try to brush this off as a Maine thing, and yeah they fell for it, but Platner's campaign was manufactured in DC, paid for out of state and midwifed by an ecosystem of political podcasters and reporters. This conspiracy is coming for your state, your district, where ever you are

I am unspeakably angry about this turnout gap figure, and it gives insight into the whole ballgame for gutting the VRA. Alito points out that Black turnout exceeded White turnout twice in 5 elections. The argument is garbage 1/x

popeye is taking a can of something out of his pocket. not sure what it is yet

He participated in “Book Innit” and got a free pizza

Closing thoughts on the Pittsburgh Penguins 2025-26 playoff experience. Fun season. Overall a success. Worthy of being enjoyed. Also where it all went wrong in the playoffs. www.pensburgh.com/analysis/763...

A little message for the NHL refs

“The Constitution explicitly places the courts almost entirely under the statutory authority of Congress.”

Why would Jimmy Kimmel do this to us?

remember, the debt doesn't matter unless a Democrat is president

A profoundly listless campaign. Acted like the primary was an annointment, seemingly refused to (or couldn't) recognize that Platner was a serious threat, wasn't able to jump on his vulnerabilities as they emerged, and visibly all but gave up shortly afterward. A fairly sorry display all around

Sorry I couldn’t hear you Europe, I was busy high speed railing your mom

#OtD 30 Apr 1923 radical Jewish actor, Al Lewis, was born in NYC. Best known for the role of Grandpa Munster in The Munsters, his mother took him to May Day protests and he became a socialist. During the depression, he helped rehouse evicted people stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1025...

Last night Sinbad performed his first comedy show since suffering a stroke in 2020. Watching his Instagram announcement got me all damn emotional. Good for Sinbad!

It's amazing that nobody will understand this: They don't think. They don't remember. They have no cognition. They're pattern matching systems that produce answer-shaped responses. This is no different that giving a script admin privileges, except this script is rewritten on the fly.

I don’t think people are understanding that the civil rights movement included a lot of violence.

The single most important thing to understand about tech futurism is that, when Anthropic’s predictions turn out to be wrong, they don’t have to give the money back.

Biden filled every vacancy he could with liberals, and gets little credit for it because people are fixated on the "simply pack the court" pipe dream.

Any government that emerges from this mess will be illegitimate.

Every state advancing racially discriminatory redistricting plans under Callais should lose its congressional representation, per the 14th Amendment's apportionment clause.

Just hours after the Roberts Court legalized stripping Black Americans of representation, Alabama moves to do just that, repeating a pattern begun in 2013 with Shelby County v Holder. Within a day of that decision, Texas & North Carolina advanced broad spectrum vote suppression bills.

This is literally true

This is not an exaggeration. Alex Jones is allegedly bankrupt but has an infinite well of dark money to pay lawyers, sell pills, and harangue judges and the parents of dead kids. This stay must be lifted so we can take over, and I hope journalists look into where he's getting and stowing his money.

Suspension of elections in order to rig them sounds like something Grant would've sent troops to quell in the 1870s.

1) The right has been burned by picks that weren’t as conservative as expected 2) for some people in very blue areas being a reactionary leftist is a way to be conservative without the stigma. In texas most people don’t care whether you’re a liberal or a socialist etc you’re a commie either way

One annoying question I like to ask: Why is the Republican electorate, in general, so much more realistic about the impact of presidential elections on the courts. Why do Dems always face a mini-rebellion from left-wing voters who think this is "blackmail" or what have you? (1/2)

John Lewis was beaten with clubs wrapped in barbed wire on the Edmund Pettus Bridge fighting for voting rights. Today’s SCOTUS decision takes the sacrifice and fight of all who marched before us and throws it away. We must keep marching — too many have fought too hard to give up.

EMERGENCY: Black people have a little power we can take!
