Not the main point of this racist move in Louisiana, but in my piece on this fiasco I dropped a chunk on JUST how common this vile move is: "oh, you're innocent? We can tell, but if you want to fight it you can spend five more yrs in prison doing so." It's really common!

holy shit this is real shop.indycar.com/products/inc...

When the lines blur between satire and reality

I cannot emphasize this enough. Attempting to impeach Donald Trump is: 1) Morally right in itself; 2) Demanded by one's oath of office; 3) One of the best ways to waste fascists' time and energy.

This graph shows how registration rates between Black and White voters varied in Louisiana since Reconstruction. In a single image, it tells the story of political power and discrimination. Black voters had power, briefly, then it was taken from them. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/power-demo...

My latest post on the SCOTUS decision that guts LBJ and MLK’s defining legislative achievement with special thanks to @espinsegall.bsky.social for making me aware of the long game played by the Chief Justice and FEDSOC open.substack.com/pub/frankagr...

For those *trying* to keep track ... in the 48 hours since #SCOTUS issued its ruling in Louisiana v. Callais striking down the state's election map containing two majority-Black districts (links to follow):

In the Ashikaga Flower Park in Tochigi, Japan, a wisteria tree is often referred to as “the most beautiful in the world.” At around 150 years old, the massive tree is stunning when in full bloom. [📹 godive2000] Original post

Jimmy Kimmel is doing it right 👏

Democrats should gerrymander the hell out of their districts. Neutralize Republican voters. Supreme Court is cool with it so just flex until MAGA cries uncle. Fight fire with fire. You cant be Civil with fascists.

SCOTUS issued a disgraceful & unjust decision gutting #votingrights. It gave politicians a “discriminate to win an election free” by claiming partisan map-rigging. This is a dark day but tomorrow is a new day. This isn’t over. We will fight for our rights & to our future @civilrightsorg.bsky.social

MAJOR BREAKING: Rep. Pat Ryan just revealed that Pete Hegseth ordered military members to an area in Kuwait with an ACTIVE WARNING they had ZERO defense against drone attacks and he IGNORED IT. Six were then KILLED. Survivors blame Hegseth. This is even WORSE than Benghazi.

There are four black SUVs parked outside my house because I dropped my fries 🍟 at McDonald’s.

John Lewis should be allowed to haunt all these pricks like the Ghost of Christmas Past.

Help us spread the word that it's possible to brighten the lives of children in ICE detention in Dilley, Texas by donating to fill their commissary accounts. Help us fill more commissary accounts eachstephome.org/commissary

Oh, look what I saw on the beach!

“This evisceration of the Voting Rights Act requires us to take SCOTUS reform more seriously.” slate.com/news-and-pol... I am so sick of this undemocratic & unconstitutional shit. SCOTUS just paved the way for Apartheid US style.

I'll restate my oft-stated position that democratic self-government in the United States is not possible unless this Court and its manifest corruption are thoroughly reformed. civic democracy or this corrupt court. can only have one.

This is just BEAUTIFUL!! Minneapolis women, please take a bow!!! #RESPECT

This guy does not have the profile of a mass shooter and he knows what he’s forgoing. I worry that we’ll see more of this because Congress and SCOTUS refuse to constrain Trump and people who would not otherwise be radicalized are feeling a kind of moral injury by extension

This move by SCOTUS is deeply insulting. The district court gathered a massive amount of evidence in record time, and District Judge Jeffrey Brown wrote a careful 160-page opinion. Now a majority of justices have dispensed with it without even providing a full written opinion.

Kash Patel’s colleagues are alarmed by what they say is erratic behavior and excessive drinking, Sarah Fitzpatrick reports. More than two dozen people she spoke with described his management failures and conduct that could harm national security.

💥 "BLACK WEDNESDAY" 4/8/26 @AJEnglish In a matter of minutes, Israel killed more than 350 people across Lebanon on Wednesday, April 8. Here are some of their stories

When you drive under the tunnel it yells: "Grab 'em by the pussy!"

We should be learning from other countries...

:MeidasTouch host Ben Meiselas reports on Pope Leo XIV striking back at Trump after death threats against his brother as the Pope gives his most powerful speech yet in Cameroon." youtu.be/41RbhGrdFP8?...

NOT WITH MY TAX DOLLARS. It’s not just that this is a memorial Trump is building to honor himself. It’s the size & the location. Twice the size of the Lincoln Memorial, and towering over Arlington National Cemetery, where two presidents and thousands who died in service to this country are buried.

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

Agree With John Fugelsang.....

Between wars, he walks on water.

Mike Lawler (R) told a room full of furious constituents “my record speaks for itself.” The room responded with laughter. Then booing. Then someone got escorted out for calling the GOP “morally bankrupt” while the crowd CHEERED him on.👏👏 #USDemocracy #Pinks newrepublic.com/post/208983/...

Orban concedes defeat. The support of Trump, Vance, Putin, Lavrov, Weidel, Milei, Le Pen, Fico, Babis and many others could not overcome Hungarian anger at a stagnant, corrupt regime www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

A documentary about the First Lady that costs Amazon $75,000,000 and barely makes a dent at the box office is not a smart investment on its own. But what if that same company secures a $580,000,000 Pentagon contract around the same time? Suddenly, the math starts to look different.

NEW: A stunning new report claims that the Pentagon summoned Pope Leo XIV’s top American diplomat and threatened him after the U.S.-born pontiff gave his January state-of-the-world address. Leo used the address to denounce a world ruled by “a diplomacy based on force” and “zeal for war.”

The more I think about the 70,000 ICE incarcerated without due process the more I think we are underreacting. People are literally trapped inside for profit prisons. We need to do something.

This regime keeps doubling down on its commitment to ending democracy. www.thebulwark.com/p/mike-lee-t...

A moment of sanity during our country's insanity. TY ‪Senator Andy Kim

This is treason, @jd-vance-1.bsky.social No administration other than Felon47’s Russian-puppet regime would even consider stumping for a dictator, in this case another Russian-puppet dictator. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

Given Trump’s Easter threats to carry out new war crimes in Iran, we should think one or two steps ahead about a coup attempt connected to the war. And then deter it. (1/17)

Happy War Crimes Day to all who celebrate.
