Our leaders must have the courage.

I often say that the fight for democracy is the fight of our generation. But let me be clear, if you aren’t fighting for Black voting rights right now then you aren’t really fighting for democracy.

SCOTUS just obliterated the VRA using phony data and explicit language for how to racially discriminate ending representation for Black Americans and Klobuchar thinks moderation is a good idea. What do you think?

Here are some of the most dramatic and powerful examples of how Black Americans — from elected officials to ordinary voters — have responded to the wave of GOP gerrymanders. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

In the most predictable twist of fate - Alito uses fake data reflective of deep racial animus and discrimination to remove the last controls for racial discrimination in the VRA. abovethelaw.com/2026/05/sam-...

Implicit bias - a cognitive reflection of systemic racism and racial resentment drives people to rely on faulty data that reinforces existing prejudiced attitudes. It also causes judgement degradation as can be seen clearly here.

Studies demonstrate that members of Congress representing districts covered by section 5 of the VRA (preclearance), especially those elected by Black voters, were significantly more supportive of civil rights legislation. Despite admitting discrimination still exists, John Roberts gutted it in 2013

The Speaker of the House in Alabama calls on the courts to “overturn the 14th Amendment.” This is the same legislative body, a court found engaged in intentional racial discrimination in drawing voting maps in the Milligan case. x.com/austinpratt_...

So, we have a paranoid sycophantic FBI director who is allegedly abusing alcohol and investigating his own staff……..oh and has a propensity for believing conspiracy theories all during a war with a country with a history of terrorism. What could go wrong www.ms.now/news/kash-pa...

The rushed redrawing of racially discriminative voting maps and stripping of Black voters' right to representation along with overt racist displays like this are violent, humiliating, dehumanizing aggressions. They are traumatizing, deeply painful, & psychologically harmful to our fellow citizens.

I recommend reading the Callais opinion on SCOTUS website. But if you don't, this video will explain why conservative SCOTUS justices are considered partisan political actors and how incredibly absurd the Callais opinion is.

Unpopular? I'd call them partisan, racist, and woefully / willfully ignorant. Here's why. Over several decades, John Roberts made it a career goal to dismantle the VRA. He first ended section 5 that mandated districts receive approval from DOJ to change voting laws before doing it. 1/

"Whereas legal arguments for color blindness were once emblematic of the fight for equal opportunity among racial minorities marginalized by openly discriminatory practices, they have become increasingly geared toward combating race-conscious policies." www.hbs.edu/ris/Publicat...

And I believe Alito uses colorblindness as a bulwark to maintain White Supremacy and justify racial resentment. And again, Roberts has been up to this for decades. www.hbs.edu/ris/Publicat...

SCOTUS used colorblindness to rule in the Callais case and decimate the VRA. Roberts has been up to this for a long time. This is why: "White Americans high in social dominance orientation...use color blindness to defend the status quo (Knowles et al., 2009)." journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1...

I can't recommend this episode of The Best People with @nicollewallace.bsky.social featuring @sifill.bsky.social highly enough. Outstanding youtu.be/6Xh69HTkd24?...

"APA’s Failure to Defend Diversity" www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/blac...

"This is not the color-blindness of Martin Luther King Jr., but what the scholar Ian Haney López has called “reactionary colorblindness,” the purpose of which is to maintain racial hierarchy through superficially neutral means." A great piece 👇

Imagine reducing the need for knee replacements by 62%! A groundbreaking injection could rejuvenate your cartilage using your own cells. What if aging joints could be treated without surgery? This research might just change everything. 🦵✨

I agree with this.

Fantastic!!

I finally saw Project Hail Mary. I didn't realize how much I've been longing for social connectedness, caring, and love. It didn't take long for the huge crocodile tears to flow. It felt really good to reconnect with those emotions. I recommend it.

What a great photo. Can always use more hugs

"You can be competitive without being an asshole." Really nice story on NBA nice guys, by the legendarily nice @wtevs.bsky.social.

"Love and kindness are a form of resistance."

Takeaways - A homicidal felon president threatens annihilation of a civilization during an unprovoked war he started, after firing all his top generals and vaporizing 175 school girls - and Congress does NOTHING. Congress must be completely reformed

Insanely unfit. I call on VP Vance to initiate removal of Donald Trump from office immediately pursuant to the 25th Amendment. None of this is a joke

I tend to think this is witting discrimination.

I’m being serious here when I say that we have a number of high ranking govt officials that appear to be experiencing serious mental illness.

"after reviewing the research, we concluded there is no credible evidence that sexual orientation can be changed through therapeutic intervention.Theres powerful evidence that trying to change a person’s sexual orientation can be extremely harmful." whatweknow.inequality.cornell.edu/topics/lgbt-...

"Research consistently demonstrates that “conversion therapy” is associated with an extensive list of long-lasting social and emotional consequences (PDF, 322KB)" READ THIS apnews.com/article/supr...

This disastrous Supreme Court rules against Colorado ban of conversion therapy. A 'therapy' that has no scientific grounding and can cause severe psychological harm. If CO can ban emotional abuse - they must be allowed to ban conversion therapy. apnews.com/article/supr...

This is a thoughtful piece. Seeing 8 million Americans organize across the country is comforting. And - Trump is an abusive & violent man with antisocial traits. Minneapolis felt it. Organizers must prepare for it as Nov draws near. www.ms.now/opinion/no-k...

So Powerful

Well, have been saying it since he was confirmed. Kash Patel is an unqualified, unserious, unskilled poser. His lack of leadership has placed our country in danger. He should be relieved of his position immediately.

America - Where racism Trumps affordability.

Late last night, Republicans caved and let the Senate pass a bill that funds all of DHS except ICE and Border Patrol (as Democrats long demanded). This is what’s possible when Democrats unify and refuse to bend to the regime's demands. We are now watching the House to see if this gets done.

The IOC has announced a trans and intersex athlete ban requiring an invasive SRY genetic test for female athletes. In the 20+ years trans women were eligible, only one ever competed and none ever medaled. This is solving for a problem that doesn't exist. www.nbcnews.com/sports/olymp...

I mean, we all know his criminal tendencies.......and convictions.......but this doesn't seem good.

Today! Today is the best day to deactivate and delete all of your Meta apps. You know, the ones that were designed to be addictive, exploitive, and place children at risk. www.ms.now/news/new-mex...

Democrats overperforming in red districts has been happening all year. In this case, Donald Trump's home will be represented by a Dem. So when both the House and Senate flip in November, don't stand for anyone telling you it was a rigged election. Don't stand for it!!

Well folks. There it is. The Senate is going to install Trump's handpicked violent Goon with the help of Democrats. I'll be logging off for a time because I've been eating my head and there's not much left. Good luck

Chief Justice John Roberts is telling Donald Trump, a 34 felony carrying, sex abuser, 4 time indicted, war criming, racist, bigot that he gave immunity to, to stop harassing him. Make sense? www.ms.now/news/chief-j...

Pam Bondi proposing a rule that disempowers state Bar Associations and gives "carte blanche to DOJ lawyers who represent the Trump administration not just zealously but with impunity" Someone, anyone needs to remove Bondi from office immediately. www.ms.now/opinion/doj-...

Whether it's Hegseth sneering at the press pool or Pirro maniacally ranting about her numerous defeats, this administration has shown itself as one underperforming seething hot mess.

The micro expressions this guy exhibits demonstrate seething anger.

Department of War Crimes

Hi folks. The Pentagon has spent 11.3 billion on an excursion-maybe-war this week. Meanwhile, the Senate will not extend ACA tax credits leaving an estimated 7.3 million people to drop health coverage.
