So. A judge said, "turn it over", and voila!.. the US District Court of MN got it. Wait. That means if the MN state police had just filed a lawsuit when the FBI/DOJ refused it to them... How long ago was the murder? 4 months. And for a different case. www.startribune.com/federal-gove...

virginia voters should call their delegates and senators and demand that they ignore this illegitimate ruling

We ain't scared. You think we scared? Black folks ain't scared. We're not hiding under our beds. Brutal attack ain't nothing new to us. Our parents drank from colored only water fountains. Their parents were hung from trees. What the fuck you think we can't take? Bring your worst.

My advise to VA dems: just try stuff. Exhaust every avenue until timing makes it impossible and then come back in 2028. Do not just accept it.

Dismantling the Voting Rights Act is part of a broader project to move America from a functioning democracy to one more easily manipulated by elites.

Secretary Roadkill is literally trying to ban Prozac.

Red states don’t hold referendums before they redraw maps to their advantage. They just do it. If the courts are going to keep moving the goalposts, maybe it’s time blue states stop asking permission.

It’s not OK for Donald Trump to call a reporter a “bitch,” but perhaps it’s appropriate to call Brendan Carr one.

AOC on possibly running for the Senate or President: They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.

MacFarlane: People in Virginia voted by the millions. Their voices were heard and now have been silenced. And you want to talk about what starts a political wave in a year like this: a mass of people who think their voices have been silenced. That doesn't stop a wave that fuels one.

Following the death of former FBI Director & Special Counsel Robert Mueller at age 81 in March 2026,Trump posted on Truth Social: "Robert Mueller just died. Good, I'm glad he's dead." Oh, so Trump's post was OK, but this was bad? Can ANYONE explain the White House logic? www.bbc.com/news/article...

Researchers in Hong Kong developed a nasal spray for rapid stroke intervention. The system uses nanotechnology to deliver neuroprotective drugs directly to the brain and reduce neuronal damage during the emergency stage.

I’m so proud of these folks ✊🏽 Alabama Dems have had enough of Republicans’ bullshit. They’re standing up against the attack on their political power. 🚨 Alabama state organizing manager Dee Reed escorted out of the Alabama House gallery Friday as lawmakers debated redistricting.

You're in a chess tournament against last year's champion. He jumps a pawn clear across the board to take your rook. "That's not how chess works!" you say to the judge. That's when you learn the tournament's judges get appointed by the previous year's champion. (What reading the news feels like)

Black people are giving it these Confederates raw and uncut. This is how it’s gonna be now. You wonder what we’re thinking? It’s this. I believe this is activist Gary Chambers again in Louisiana.

If you’re mad at @markhamillofficial.bsky.social for saying what most of the planet desperately wants, you didn’t understand Star Wars. The point was to fight the Empire, not slap a red hat on it, kiss the boot, and call Palpatine “Mr. President.” #fascism

There is no clearer case for the necessity of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 than how quickly southern states moved to eliminate Black-majority districts and dilute Black power after SCOTUS eroded Section 2. SCOTUS’s reasoning was immediately disproven by reality.

The man is unwell. Seriously unwell. Lame-duck presidents fade away, but injured dictators can be dangerous. Robert Reich

Welcome back to Canada, President Obama. Thank you for joining us in Toronto for important conversations on how we can build a better and more just future — and empower more people to build with us.

SCOTUS Voting Rights Act opinion based on faulty data. Kevin Morris, a researcher at the Brennan Center for Justice: “In zero out of the last three presidential elections, did Black turnout come anywhere close to parity.Alito’s claim is simply not factual.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The president wants to make it harder for millions of Americans to vote. We won’t let him. NO on the SAVE America Act.

The price of gas at my local Shell station in Seattle increased by another 15 cents per gallon over the past four days. In case you're wondering, that's an annualized rate of inflation of 759%.

The hardcore cult still won't get it.

A city that doesn’t care for its children will fail. Our City’s child care providers do enormously important and difficult work. They deserve our utmost respect and appreciation. This week and every week, we must stand up and support them.

Last month in Virginia, the people made their voices heard at the ballot box and voted for new Congressional maps. Today, the Virginia Supreme Court ignored the will of the people and overturned those democratically chosen maps.
