SCOTUS: "[GOP] political might makes right. It prevails over fair representation." It's contrary to the Preamble mandate "to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, ... ,and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity". Some "People" don't count.

In 1841 Mary Richardson married John Jones of North Carolina. They carried free papers when they settled in Chicago & Mr. Jones established a successful tailoring business. Active in abolitionist politics & voting rights campaigns, they hosted & dressed John Brown & crew en route to Harper’s Ferry.

There, I said it.

The Sargent at Arms blocks Representative Justin Pearson from Memphis from entering a committee meeting about redrawing the map specifically for the district he represents.

“We need to show the next generation that Whittier is a city that has values…” The most impactful organizing work is built on this foundation: core values. A great piece on some really powerful organizing ⬇️

The Trump FBI might be investigating Sarah Fitzpatrick, The Atlantic reporter who wrote a story about Kash Patel’s alleged drunken escapades But the magazine is REFUSING to back down This is how you handle fascists!

TRIE The Resistance Is Everywhere!

The DOJ violates the Epstein Files Transparency Act on the daily. So I'm suing Todd Blanche. As a journalist, I cannot report accurately on the Epstein Files if I cannot even read them. I am represented by @brendanballou.bsky.social & we seek to hold the DOJ accountable for its noncompliance.

🚨🚨BREAKING: In a huge victory for Democrats that will greatly increase their odds of winning back the House in November, Virginia voters have APPROVED the redistricting referendum.

Here waiting to see my heart doctor. An elderly man and woman are waiting nearby. She asks why they are here. He says it's to check on her pacemaker which is wearing out. He says it's the last time as it won't be replaced because of her age. Shit.

Encouraging sign today: Saw my first honey bee of the season.

Hillary Clinton gets it. Trump has no clue.

UK MP Ed Davey: Trump's “a dangerous and corrupt gangster” not the leader of the free world. Ed Davey delivered a blistering take down of Trump in Parliament.

In Twilight Zone episode "4 O'Clock" a deranged man declares that all the "evil" people (his definition) in the world will be rendered 2 feet tall at that time on that day. In real life, a deranged man threatens to destroy a country's infrastructure at 8 pm. Is this his idea of Infrastructure Week?

What a quote.

As we send a Black man and a woman around the moon for the first time, let’s remember the trailblazing Black woman Katherine Johnson, whose brilliant calculations were critical to the initial Apollo 11 mission. Her work spanned 33 years at NASA, including contributions to the Space Shuttle program.

Two brilliant civil rights lawyers - one Asian American; one Black American. Both women. @aclu.org’s Cecellia Wang & @legaldefensefund.bsky.social’s @janainelson.bsky.social. They argued two of the most consequential cases in SCOTUS this year. This embrace is one of my favorite moments of the day.

WATCH: The White House took down this video, but we still have it. Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.

Announcement at the World Marketplace Superstore: "Clean up on aisle Hormuz" [Then, off mic: "the a** hole made a mess and just walked away."]

Got an ad from B&N for pre-order of Vance's new book. "[T]his new memoir follows Vance's continued search for spiritual meaning."🤮

Apparently, Kegseth hasn’t destroyed their ability to drop truth bombs.

Lee loves his cheese bugles

Quick reminder: Epstein.

Why was this story on the front page of the UK’s Daily Telegraph — but NOT America’s leading newspapers?

Scientists have developed Talineuren (TLN), a liposomal formulation of GM1 ganglioside that can cross the blood-brain barrier. In ALS mouse models, this nanoparticle delivery preserved mitochondrial function and synaptic integrity, significantly improving motor symptoms. 👩‍🔬🧪 doi.org/10.1002/advs...

I suppose sitting through a 2 hour Trump State of the Union is sufficient penance for the U.S. Men's hockey team.

Kash Patel, laser focused on the safety of the American people

In this 2024 interview, Jack Hughes, who just scored the game-winning goal for the US Olympic hockey team, explains why it was important for him to embrace Pride Night when many other NHL players refused to do so.
