Who’s next?

BREAKING: California will impose a 100% tax on payments distributed from Trump’s Jan. 6th “slush fund.”

Not to partake in the discourse but I think it’s important we acknowledge that Stephen Miller is, in fact, an ugly fuck.

ICE is building a car fortress in front of Delaney Hall. Based on my experience with ICE, I would guess they feel severely understaffed and need the extra barrier.

Protesters cheer and ICE agents silently look on while detainees at Delaney Hall flash the lights inside the facility.

Instead of engaging with me and others about the poor conditions, ICE sent in an armored vehicle and a line of armed agents that only poured gasoline on the fire. Civilians were tackled and restrained, and agents fired pepper balls and spray into the crowd. 2/4

I saw chaos inside and outside of the ICE detention center Delaney Hall today. Detainees protesting the lack of due process, the disgusting food and poor treatment while their families and advocates stood outside calling for help. 1/4

they’re shooting crowd control munitions at crowds that include multiple members of congress, the governor, and a sitting united states senator. they fired pepper balls at the senator. they cannot and will not be reigned in by democracy, whatever’s left of it.

This photo of Andy Kim in the moments before ICE gassed everyone at Delaney Hall is going into the history books. We need more of this from our electeds.

Democrats need three House seats and four Senate seats to flip Congress. Those elections happen in 167 days. The energy, money, and oxygen being consumed by would-be 2028 nominees running shadow campaigns belongs in competitive districts right now. open.substack.com/pub/santiago...

I bet if you drill down you find out Gerald is a bigot and homophobe. Entirely possible the hate that fuels Gerald to be a MAGA voter far outweighs any common sense or survival urges.

Bezos is a walking penile implant.

Young people cancelled out every Republican voter over 65 in 2022, they pushed Biden over the finish line in 2020, and powered up the blue wave in 2018. Turnout in 2024 was the 2nd highest. This narrative that young people don’t vote needs to die.

Rep. Auchincloss bodies Rep. Buddy Carter: "As you just heard from my colleague from Georgia, even an insurrection is apparently to the Republican Party not cause for impeachment."

We have to reclaim our power. We must listen to the wisdom of the courageous civil rights leaders who came before us and showed us the way forward. When enough of us stand together and fight back, we cannot be silenced.

Biggest test right now: Texas. But GOP House seats are also at risk in California, New York, Colorado and Nevada.

The post-2024 “Latinos shifted right” narrative is hitting its first big stress test — even in districts Republicans thought were safely red. New modeling from the Democratic group Oath shows several GOP-drawn “safe” seats could quickly become competitive if recent Latino trends hold.

The Tennessee Speaker of the House will remove all Democratic Caucus members from standing committees and subcommittees as punishment for their redistricting protests. Democracy dies in Nashville.

There’s something so chilling about being a former politician on one’s death bed, having a clear portal to an existential, cosmic perspective on the meaning of life, and counseling everyone to ask for less. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/12/u...

🚨BREAKING: The U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) has allowed Alabama to select a different map for this year’s congressional elections in a stunning, last-minute move to interfere with another state primary election that has already begun. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Good morning. Gas is over $6 a gallon in many places. Farms are going bankrupt. Billions are being wasted on a war that’s making us weaker. And this week, Republicans will spend their time trying to get taxpayers to fund Trump’s parties.

For the record, the Republican hack Virginia Supreme Court justice (D. Arthur Kelsey)'s term ends on January 31, 2027. Replacing him with a Democrat then should flip the court to 4D-3R. Then Stephen R. McCullough (R) is outta there in March 2028...5D-2R time! bluevirginia.us/2026/05/brea...

One year ago today, the Holy Spirit gave us the gift of Pope Leo XIV. Let us all pray today that the Holy Father will continue to be guided by that same Holy Spirit. Ad multos annos!

Just now — @TNRepParkinson: “LET MEMPHIS SECEDE FROM TENNESSEE. Let my people go.” #JimCrow @GovBillLee @MarshaBlackburn

John Roberts OWNS THIS. I couldn't despise him more. UGH. #VoterSuppression #Gerrymandering

HAPPENING NOW: “WHOSE STATE? OUR STATE! @GovBillLee sold out Tennessee… this is about to be a very long week for their asses….” Protestors greet Republicans like @SenBrentTaylor here to strip representation from majority Black MEMPHIS to protect a corrupt president

Ma’am 🔥🔥🔥 “The Congressional Black Caucus is going to be making its way down to Louisiana… Clarence Thomas… should find a piece of his Black self and come on down to Louisiana with us.” ~ Rep Kamlager Dove “We will force a House vote on the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.” ~ Rep Pressley

Starting tomorrow, events are scheduled in NOLA, Montgomery, Nashville, and Raleigh to push back on state legislatures' attempts to silence the voices of black and brown voters. We will not be silenced.

They’re as whiny as landlords. Bye Felicia

Thousands showed up today! Proud of my community. 💙 May Day Protest Madison, Wisconsin

Republicans have a nationwide plan led by DOJ. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

You know what would have prevented all this? More people voting for Kamala Harris. That's just simply true no matter what anybody thinks of her. The Very Serious People will keep insisting that it's more complicated than that. It's not.

Say it out loud

Welcome to Bluesky, the free speech site, where you’re allowed to say things like “Trump is a threat to the whole country who should be removed from office immediately” and all the censors and scolds can’t do anything about it. Remember when the rest of America worked like that

Credit where credit's due

Even if a little bit is disrupted, it's a success. It beats sitting around doing nothing about the loss of our rights, & then complaining about getting arrested for a picture posted of seashells on a beach, or for going to a peaceful protest ✌🏼

Sounds like we have to teach a lot of voters to learn *their* lesson and not vote for the Nazi when he says gonna be a Nazi. We have to teach them the immense power of their votes.

It makes sense that the Guardian has a bigger audience than the Washington Post because the Guardian is a newspaper whereas the Washington Post is a tech fascist billionaire's sock puppet.

Why on earth would this be "a big challenge" for him? The Trump administration tried to take Jimmy Kimmel down last year and it completely blew up in their faces. They're in a much weaker position now and only a complete clown would give them an inch.

Caught up with @sherrodbrownoh.bsky.social on his spirited campaign to retake JD Vance's Ohio Senate seat. It's a terrific window into what is shaping up to be a year of opportunity for Ohio Democrats. Check it out 👇

We did! We passed a bill to fund the Secret Service and TSA and FEMA 100-0. If Speaker Johnson would just call it for a vote, it would pass. That’s the problem.

Three million Virginia voters deserve not only a new map but to have their votes counted. The map is an important outcome, but the counted vote is something more fundamental. It is core to democracy itself — regardless of the policy or candidate. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/in-v...

Just sayin’!
