Today in Selma and Montgomery, Alabama, crowds gathered for the National Day of Action. Activists, lawmakers, and everyday people pushed back against attacks on voting rights and Black political representation happening across the South. Here are scenes taken by Nikolai Pizarro on Instagram.

AOC: “It is time for the North to pull up to the South and let them know exactly what they have uncorked with this injustice. They think they can draw us out of power. They do not know the sleeping giant they just awakened. What they thought was the final blow is actually just the opening silo”

It’s past time. Rise Up. Vote the racists out. #AllRoadsLeadToTheSouth

great piece. please read if you have a moment: presswatchers.org/2026/05/its-...

Just a few hours left to apply for a $2,500 grant to work on art projects! Open to young people affected by policing, punishment, &/or criminalization.

Turns out, schools are way cheaper than ballrooms...

Update: The DOJ is now 6 month in breach of releasing the Epstein files. Holding these criminals accountable must be the Nuremberg of our time.

Ballots dropped off! Xavier Becerra for Gov! Went with our guts for most of the others after researching.

Good morning! Important 🚨

I'm attending John Lewis Actions's event, “Good Trouble Training 101: Get Ready to Host” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/john-lewis-a...

I rarely say “major breaking” and rarely put out these video hits, but this is pretty major.

Night, all, and let us try to be good to one another — and ourselves.

Spent today moving. Was exhausting, but our movers were spectacular. And we’re just moving a few miles away. Downsizing to an equally wonderful and lovely home - just smaller! The backyard is adorable and the lemon tree is very bountiful! Feeling lucky. 🥰

We need to flip four senate seats this November to overcome the Fetterman problem.

The president is negotiating against his own administration to shake down taxpayers for $10 billion. The corruption meter is flashing red and sounding the alarm. ca.news.yahoo.com/doj-consider...

Good morning!

Good morning. We have work to do to save our country, our neighbors, and our humanity. We have lived in dark times before. You can make a difference. Stand up. Speak out. Your voice matters. Vote. Help get out the vote. #NotGoingBack

To hell with that. Win every damned one of them anyway: secure.actblue.com/donate/house...

If it were me, I'd stop everything and call all Dem electeds (city, county, state, and Federal) together over a series of 4 weeks in June in 4 regions of the country to discuss the existential threat (& strategy to resist)... Week 1 - all city/town electeds, Week 2 - all county electeds etc etc etc

This week, enjoy a rerun of Part 2 of our interview with Scarecrow and Mrs. King's Bruce Boxleitner! The 80s TV Ladies are still hard at work behind the scenes, so we're bringing you another of our favorite past episodes! Available to listen tomorrow at 11pm PT/2am ET!

Today, I have to, have to pack to move. But lucky you… You can spend today playing epicfurious.com

We have the solutions. We live in a bountiful, beautiful universe. There is enough. Just not enough for billionaires’ greed. We need to check the broligarchy before they wreck us all.

It's amazing how quickly tech changes. A task on my Mac Book that would've taken at least 4-5 seconds a few years ago now takes maybe a minute, or sometimes it just doesn't work at all. Thanks for the improvements, guys!

It’s time. Meet in Selma. Saturday, May 16th. blackpowerwarroom.com/dayofaction/

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...

I can't think of anything less patriotic than abolishing the constitution on behalf of a corrupt dying pedophile who wants to be king.

We did it! The 3rd Black Zine Fair is in the books and around 3000 people attended. Absolutely AMAZING. I'll have more to say on Monday but for tonight I'll just say thank you to every person who made the event possible and who contributed to its success.

Hang in there, everyone. The more they lie, cheat and steal, the more they lose. “Hold only love, only peace in your heart, knowing that the battle of good to overcome evil is already won. - John Lewis Stand up. Lift your voice. Demand your rights. And seek joy, love, and good dogs. #HappyWeekend

Reminder... Any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message — they can't win on their ideas alone.

Good morning! Democracy is ours if we demand it. Join the fight at @democracydocket.com

A huge thing to the credit of Ted Turner: he was widely criticized for his dumb and stupid classic movie colorization scheme and instead of doubling down and crashing out over the negative publicity, he listened to the criticism and launched Turner Classic Movies.

After the FBI raid on her office earlier today, L. Louise Lucas released this statement:

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

President Obama to Stephen Colbert: "The White House shouldn't be able to direct the attorney general to go around prosecuting whoever the president wants to prosecute." "The norm is — the idea is that the attorney general is the people's lawyer. It's not the president's consiglieri."

Wow. Ted Turner has died. He transformed the world. More personally, he transformed my hometown of Atlanta. He started as a visionary. Ended as a Frankenstein. A Frankenstein who sold his monster when his monster became a cancer.

Good morning! Democracy Docket and @marcelias.bsky.social are quite literally on the front lines of our Voting Rights. Supporting them with a follow, subscription or donation is an easy way to join the fight for our country!

“SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!” The people of Tennessee not taking the stripping of the voice of majority Black MEMPHIS (to protect a corrupt president) quietly #NewJimCrow @GovBillLee. @MarshaBlackburn

For 25+ years, the FDA has consistently affirmed that mifepristone is safe and effective.    The Supreme Court should overturn the Fifth Circuit ruling and reject those restrictions.     We must restore women's access to essential health care.

THIS WAS ALWAYS THEIR PLAN Gut the Voting Rights Act… then move fast to erase majority-Black districts across the South completely. 📌 Louisiana, 1 in 3 people are Black 📌 Mississippi, 2 in 5 people are Black 📌 N Carolina, 1 in 5 people are Black 📌 Tennessee, 1 in 6 people are Black

The coyotes are singing tonight. Keep your kittens and dogs close, my friends. #Pasadena #MyDayinLA

Breaking: WASHINGTON (AP) — Supreme Court restores access to abortion pill mifepristone through telehealth, mail and pharmacies.

May the 4th be with you as we are living in a crisis where the distance between what it said and what is known to be true has become an abyss Even so, you are not alone, you have friends everywhere

These five librarians are running for state political offices across the country. Here's why they're running, and why librarians make good candidates. bookriot.com/librarians-r...

Night, all, and let us try to be good to one another — and ourselves — this week.

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

SHARE If Americans vote overwhelmingly for Dems & give them at least 60 Senate Seats & at least 300 House seats not only could they Impeach & Remove entire corrupt regime- but they would have votes to remove the corrupt SCOTUS Justices Too! Hope that gives you some incentive to get everyone out.
