At least Nosferatu is there representing the undead.

I really hope someone (@housedemocrats.bsky.social?) has been keeping track of the grifts, thievery, emoluments, so when we prosecute we can get it all back for the great unfuckening we'll need to do.

A House subcommittee is meeting to redraw our Congressional map. New map could secure all 7 Congressional districts for Republicans while diluting the voting power of Black voters. Livestream: https://www.scstatehouse.gov/video/stream.php?key=16547&audio=0

In his 2nd Inaugural, Abraham Lincoln delivered what might be the most devastating rebuttal to the Both Sides lie in history. "Both parties deprecated war but one of them would make war rather than let the nation survive, and the other would accept war rather than let it perish. And the war came."

This makes The Pelican Brief look like child's play.

Several federal agencies have attempted to create national databases of Americans' private data, violating the law and the Constitution—all to consolidate power under President Trump. So you bet CREW is filing legal actions every chance we get.

Why no consequences if consequence shaped?

You may be in a new congressional district, and you may be voting in primaries in June AND August,who tf knows at this point But we DO know we have to fight, and one of the ways we have to fight is to make sure we're all registered to vote! Deadline is TODAY so go do it now!

I get James Clear's emails and this one hit home: "Sometimes we drag our feet. Sometimes we overextend ourselves. Either way, there are tradeoffs. What is the cost of your current pace?"

Did he say "passed without objection?" Is he deaf, blind, a fucking moron or all of the above?

South Carolina— Check your voter registration, register kids who will be of age come November 3rd and fight for your vote. Because they're working hard to take it away. scvotes.gov/elections-st...

Every Senator who confirmed this wretched man needs to be held accountable for the damages done.

I find it astonishing (because I'm so naive) and depressing that there isn't some rich person to create buy out an independent news source that would employ all good journalists & writers. Or some very determined, crafty folks to create it.

When this big-shoed motherfucker runs for president, just edit this with footage of the ICE snuff films and abuse/murders/ police brutality against brown folk. "Paid for by Irony and Karma"

So technically — if I have some extra dollars I should **totally** invest in the Stockmarket. Because the way I understand this is: the world will go to hell in a hand basket (and it will) but the stock market will really be just fine?

Been sitting with how many Black Civil rights leaders bled and died to ge the voting rights act only for it to be struck down by this white supremacist supreme court. This is from bloody Sunday which catalyzed passage of the VRA. It's hard not to shed tears at what we've lost.

The most infuriating thing about this is that his entire campaign was him saying “this time I’m going to be so much worse, you fuckers have no idea how shitty I’m gonna be”

I just randomly picked a city in Mike Johnson's district. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say they're not really interested in a ballroom.

And pedophilia.

Not to mention the fact that we still need the deets from the Epstein files. Oh and Pam Bondi ignoring her congressional subpoena. We have time to circle back to these items and others.

None of this is normal. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

"A free press is imperative to keep people informed about what leaders are doing. Lose it, and those in power can do whatever they wish without accountability." @hcrichardson.bsky.social

Feels like I’ve watched this show for the Epsteinth time.

I’m listening to seasoned reporters talk about how frightened they were during the shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner last night and imagining how much worse it is for America’s children. If there’s ever been a time to pass sensible gun control laws, it’s now.

Here’s an idea- Instead of a bullet proof ballroom to protect one, how about gun reform to protect all?

I’m at the combination Comedy Central Roast of Adolf Hitler / Reichstag Fire

Hear all. Trust nothing.

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

They're gonna save it all for their book. While democracy dies.

Thom Tillis said "You know the president, I just can’t imagine that that was ever a serious consideration.” Dude— WE KNOW the president and that's exactly why we believed the story. HE'S FUCKING NUTS #25thAmendment www.newsweek.com/donald-trump...

"Bear cubs, whale carcasses and raccoon penises, oh my!" @crooked.com on our Secretary of Health and Human Services. This is the stupidest timeline.

I've heard it called the "unfuckening." It will take ages.

While researching a guitar, AI "helpfully" offered this. AI is the worst.

Jesus wept. Why can’t we have sane, educated people in charge ??

I know you are overwhelmed by all the bad news of late, but, nevertheless, you should be aware that the CDC is warning about an increase in infections of a drug-resistant infection that can cause severe diarrhea, which unfortunately is just more truly shitty news.

Fecking republicans will sell anything out from under us. The Chileans mine, product goes to China, and Americans get a devastated ecosystem. "American First" my ass.

As someone who goes to Starbucks maybe once every 4 years, I can now assure you I will never go to Starbucks. Stop it with this AI shit, people. It's a fucking coffee.

And the way these clowns cheat, don't concede until you've recounted everything.

Nixon was brought down by trying to cover up a break in. These mother fuckers have been openly lining their coffers for years on top of hundreds of other crimes, gross incompetence and indifference to humanity’s plights and pleas. The rage we feel is palpable. 🔥

I am existentially exhausted by these ignorant mendacious idiots.

Kinda funny how Republicans are attacking the Vatican for denouncing their war but never cared about all the sexual abuse of children being covered up. Really makes you think. (Lol)

We need Democrats to repeatedly, clearly, and with great specificity talk about the accountability to come for the regime.

There's a lot of dread and angst in the air tonight. Again. Hold on to your loved ones. Make cocoa. Pour a brandy. Take a deep breath. We'll scream at our reps in the morning. katialee.substack.com/p/the-wideni...

Threatening genocide is a form of tyranny. I wish the Democrats would use the language of liberation to face that aspect head on. We all suffer from oppression when a madman vows annihilation. Human beings endowed by their creator with inalienable rights should not tolerate it.

Call me crazy, but we shouldn't have to wake up every day trying to figure out if the president of the United States is trying to manipulate the market or start a nuclear war.

Fuck impeachment, that will take far too long. Force him to resign before breakfast tomorrow.
