On March 7, 1965, 600 marchers, led by activists including John Lewis and Hosea Williams, aimed to march from Selma to Montgomery to demand voting rights. Following the violence, President Lyndon B. Johnson addressed the nation, leading to increased support for civil rights legislation.

Senator London Lamar on @GovBillLee @MarshaBlackburn and TN Republicans stealing representation from majority-Black Memphis:

In March, a Trump administration rule took effect barring some groups of immigrants with temporary status, including DACA recipients, refugees and asylum seekers, from getting or renewing their commercial driver's licenses. https://to.pbs.org/3ONTXRL

WATCH: “Does this feel like the right thing to do? Are you ready to be on the wrong side of side of history?” Tennessee Republicans generally remorseless about stripping representation from majority Black Memphis, drowning it out with white power to protect a corrupt president.

📌Turns out, the bought-off radical Right Supreme Court is the enemy of the people.

Listen to this one, folks. Marjorie Taylor Greene spills the tea on Trump and her former colleagues in Congress. “They have no intention of doing the things they promised you on the campaign trail. None.” “They’re bought and paid for.” 1/2

Same energy:

Seth Moulton: "Hegseth is an embarrassment to the troops. That's why they call him 'Ranger Pete,' because he's the only Army Major who's never been to Ranger School. The troops don't respect this guy."

Blatant corruption!

Nevada's largest utility says it will need three times the electricity required to power Las Vegas just to handle proposed data centers — and it probably can't do that without fossil fuels. https://to.pbs.org/4c0Eh6n

So glad I boycotted this weekends golf tournament held at the Felon’s Doral course in FL. Don’t care who won, players need to rethink this tournament if they want to keep their fans.

This did not age well…

REMINDER: Republicans had every opportunity to save the ACA tax credits. They chose not to. They’ve found plenty of money to fund Trump’s war in the Middle East, but they won’t spend a cent on health care for Americans.

Democrats treated Giuliani badly? 📌 According to the Washington Post, Trump instructed his aides not to pay Giuliani’s outstanding legal fees. White House officials were even told not to put through any of Giuliani’s calls.

He will lie, cheat and steal to keep himself in power. The Constitution is totally irrelevant But in truth, this conduct is merely an extension of what the Republicans have been doing for decades. That’s why they won’t condemn him for it

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

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." –Justice Louis Brandeis Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today. We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.

Imagine being president of the United States, yet so easily triggered. It’s gotta be miserable for him. He always feels like a failure even when he won’t the presidency. His dad did a number on him. He’s still a little boy. It would be heartbreaking if he wasn’t damaging the country

Trump’s reckless policies are driving up prices for every American. But here’s the thing: this Republican Congress could stop him at any moment. They’ve decided not to, and we’re all paying for it—literally.

This isn’t just about districts, it’s about representation, resources, and whether our voices are heard at all. The fight for fair maps and true democracy is far from over. capitalbnews.org/supreme-cour...

The people saying that gutting the Voting Rights Act has nothing to do with racism are the same people who say overturning Roe v Wade had nothing to do with women

Thank you, Dear Internet, for always bringing me a silver lining. 🙏🏼

Why is the President of the United States shilling so hard for cryptocurrency? Because the entire industry is a Ponzi scheme — and he's the conman-in-chief.

Congress just passed a 45-day extension of one of the most warrantless surveillance programs in U.S. law– delaying a high-stakes fight over FISA reform. With AI now able to analyze massive amounts of data, the risks are intensifying— & the push for a warrant requirement has never been more urgent.

"The program, which provides HIV testing, counseling and support services — will sunset June 30, according to the Indiana state Department of Health. The decision follows a $6.7 million reduction in federal funding that had supported the program..." indianacapitalchronicle.com/2026/04/30/i...

Democrats just flipped Pearland, Texas. Quentin Wiltz has defeated Republican Tony Carbone in the mayoral race — turning a red seat blue.

WE ARE UNDER-REACTING‼️ If you needed any more proof that the Voting Rights Act is still necessary, just look at what’s happening right now: red states rushing to wipe out Black representation the second SCOTUS gutted it. What went down this week is going to have devastating consequences. 🧵

Do they have any idea what superstars Colbert and maybe Kimmel will become if/when they leave their respective networks? No? Well, they’re about to find out.

Happy May Day, California! I’m here at MacArthur Park in Los Angeles standing with workers who power our communities and move California forward. As Governor, I’ll be your fighter - standing up for working people, protecting your rights, and making sure every family has the chance to thrive.

My thoughts are that this prediction is not looking great.

The Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act of 1965 this week. It was a slap in the face to the countless activists who fought for the VRA — and those who died for it. But we cannot give up. Here's how we should respond.
