Ossoff: “The election deniers, they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing to tell, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission. And you may have seen that one of those election deniers now asks to represent Georgia in the Senate.”

Exciting news: I just learned that @boltsmag.org has won a Nonprofit News Award tonight. The award is for the powerful (& distressing) story reported by @burness.bsky.social on the zealous prosecution of a community of American Samoans by the state — you may remember the article:

Just had an amazing conversation with Georgia's next Agriculture Commissioner, Katherine E. Juhan-Arnold. She has real plans for the future of Georgia agriculture, and I'm 100% with her. She'll be a great partner when I'm in Washington. We're going to do this together.

A white supremacy tax of $300 Billion - all because a Black President was able to come to a historic agreement with Iran and that made Trump jealous. The US suffers as a result. Racism is expensive…

Campos: While I want to thank CBS news for funding this generous gift towards my education, I want to acknowledge how the recent direction of the outlet stains the legacy of Mike Wallace, the namesake of this scholarship.

KAGAN: “.. Any agreement resembling the JCPOA will be presented by opponents as proof that the entire enterprise was a costly exercise in political gamesmanship that ended where it began, or somewhere worse.” www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

Khanna: "This is a Dred Scott court. They have engaged in the fastest rollback of Black political rights since Rutherford Hayes ended Reconstruction in 1877. One-third of African American seats are threatened. We are not speaking up strongly enough against a court that's rolling back civil rights"

The main difference between the Bible and To Kill a Mockingbird is that when someone calls To Kill a Mockingbird their favorite book, they’ve probably read it.

🚨If a state is making it harder for your family to vote, why reward them with your talent and your NIL money? I said what I said. You can still make it to the NFL, NBA, or anywhere else without propping up politicians attacking democracy and voting rights.

NAACP STATEMENT: “.. The NAACP will not watch the same institutions that depend on Black athletic prowess to fill their stadiums and their bank accounts remain silent while their states strip Black communities of their voice.” @nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

This is the height of corruption. www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

I will just add to this that, during the Biden presidency, I made a point of regularly calling out the good things the administration was doing -- which were continuous &, in aggregate, enormously consequential -- and ... none of that went viral. Very, very little engagement or amplification.

So you CAN get reparations you just have to be a reactionary white person who tries to overthrow the government because black votes shouldn’t count

just open contempt for the united states as a pluralist and secular democracy. and a reminder that the function of the fiction that the united states was founded as a fundamentalist christian nation is to establish a hierarchy of human worth with white christians at the top

this is such a great encapsulation of what the various factions of the reactionary right want. i might add that they envision themselves as slave masters and the rest of us, in one way or another, as their slaves. betterdonkey.substack.com/p/the-vra-wa...

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

Northwest Georgia sent a message, and the rest of the state is paying attention. We closed a 25-point gap and built real momentum around kitchen table issues, accountability, and leadership that answers to the people here, not Washington politics. This movement is bigger than one race. #GA14

The Trump Administration has been using law enforcement to target elected leaders, particularly Black elected leaders, since they singled out Ras Baraka and LaMonica McIver when they tried to inspect a detention center.

I'm sure it's likelier this is bogus. But one downside of having such a nakedly corrupt DOJ is that even a hypothetical meritorious case is tainted. Suppose Lucas was taking bribes or whatever (again, I doubt it), it would *still* be corrupt and selective when they'd never go after a Republican.

This is the 82-year-old state senator the FBI just raided because she successfully redistricted Virginia to match racist Republican redistricting efforts. They targeted her because she's ruthless and effective. They don't want anyone else to play within their new rules.

horrible. this country’s turn away from science based medicine in the name of “wellness” is killing children and will kill a lot more. www.propublica.org/article/more...

elon musk spends two-thirds of his time spreading racist pseudoscience and hating trans people and here is Ezra Klein in 2026 saying Musk is relentlessly focused on the only things that matter to him: EVs and going to Mars. I'm sorry but the guy's just very very dim

Strait of Hormuz stays closed, and costs here at home keep climbing. Gas up. Diesel up 45%. That’s every tractor, every delivery, every acre worked. Farmers in Northwest Georgia are paying the price. This is what it looks like when global decisions hit local communities. Leadership matters!

Momentum isn’t theoretical. It’s happening. Democrats are overperforming in races across Georgia, even in places no one expected. We saw it firsthand in #GA14. The question isn’t whether Georgia is shifting. It’s how far we take it. Leadership matters! www.usatoday.com/story/news/2...

The Court's decision overlooks reality for a self-serving right-wing fantasy and it will live in infamy.

In the 24 hours since the Supreme Court's majority ruled to demolish the Voting Rights Act's remaining protections, Louisiana and Tennessee have already signaled that they'll redraw their congressional maps with the clear effect of shutting Black voters out.

Always lovely to wake up and discover that the Supreme Court was like are you a person? nah

Jeffries says everything is on the table legislatively to deal with the Supreme Court: In the new Congress, we’re going to have to do something about this Supreme Court, and let me be very clear: everything is on the table.

Any Democrat not speaking like @isaiahrmartin.bsky.social about the voting rights act needs to resign from office.

The court has simply recreated the pre-Brown world in allowing racial discrimination across a broad number fields as long as it is “facially neutral,” gutting the Reconstruction Amendments in the process.

A gorgeous evening in this beautiful but sad country. On the 9th week of the war, our addled President is doing monologues about his ballroom to the King of England. Black Summer looms ahead. But people are disassociating. A new season of Euphoria is on teevee. Sydney is doing the most

Appreciate Sec. @petebuttigieg.bsky.social recognizing what’s happening here in Northwest Georgia. The turnout, the momentum, and a 25-point overperformance in one of the reddest districts in the country says it all. People are ready for something different. Leadership matters! #GA14

thinking about the gould quote again

Ninth Grader Demi Johnson receives National Geographic award for plan to save Mississippi's oyster reef population. The ninth grader has produced 1,100 oysters that will in turn spawn millions of larvae into the ecosystem, a huge ecological impact

This will hardly get any attention but it’s important… www.theverge.com/science/9187...

Remember the wave of chattering class solidarity we saw after Sarah Huckabee was politely declined service at a restaurant? Get ready bsky.app/profile/atru...

Trump: I'm going to destroy an entire civilization. We're going to keep killing people in boats. Senator Kelly should be executed. ICE protesters are domestic terrorists. Immigrants are vermin. Raskin: Donald Trump is bad for this country. Bash: Do you regret your heated rhetoric, Rep. Raskin?

Can’t wait for like, 500 articles that are like “as I dived under a table to hide from the shooter I realized I had to be even more sycophantic to the White House”

Every publication should publish the names and outlets of the people who attend tonight because most of us will want to be sure we never make the mistake of listening to them again.

What’s happening in Iran is putting real pressure on farms right here in Northwest Georgia. There’s no cushion left, and families are being forced to carry more than they can handle. We need leadership that treats this like the crisis it is. Leadership matters! #GA14

Revoking kids' visas because their parents criticized Elon Musk.

Does anyone in this administration understand how NATO works? uk.news.yahoo.com/exclusive-pe...

Still feel like "Musk and his crew of incels destroyed a bunch of stuff they didn't understand and thereby hastened the deaths of millions of children" did not get the public attention it warranted.

Are the women back there somewhere? Yes, I think I see them.
