Broke down the 2026 midterms, in depth, with @swingleft.bsky.social Executive Director Yasmin Radjy:

Sen. Van Hollen not backing down — pressing Acting AG Blanche who tried to dismiss his glaring conflict of interest. Van Hollen's response was perfect: you're not acting like the AG, you're acting like Trump's personal attorney.

Thomas Massie isn't going quietly: “Today is the six-month anniversary of the Epstein Transparency Act. We’ve taken out two dozen CEOs, an ambassador, a prince, a prime minister, a minister of culture, that was just six months. I’ve got seven months left in Congress.” (The US gets little credit.)

Thomas Massie lost because he demanded the release of the Epstein files. The GOP leaders and base hated him for that. This 100% confirms that GOP stands for Guardians of Pedophiles!

Trump/GOP’s $1.8 BILLION SLUSH FUND paid for with your hard earned taxpayer $, increases Americans’ costs, while giving free $ handouts to convicted criminals, Trump/GOP cronies, scammers & grifters! Trump/GOP are stealing Americans’ $ that should be used to lower high costs of Trump/GOP’s Iran war!

Trump’s weaponization bill that would pilfer the American people is in trouble with Congress and the courts. Keep fighting and speaking out people!

“It’s not just the 6,200 children who have been arrested… it’s the 100,000 families who have been impacted by ICE and the deportations. That number should shock the conscience of everyone in this country.” — @rweingarten.bsky.social #ReadThemHome #EndFamilyDetention

Ebola outbreak may be spreading faster than first thought, WHO doctor warns BBC News 5/20/26 www.youtube.com/watch?v=-o3e... People living close to the epicentre of a deadly #Ebola outbreak.. told.. of their fear, as WHO warned cases may be spreading faster than originally thought. #Medsky #MomSky

136 people have died in DR Congo, officials say, with more than 514 cases now suspected in the country. WHO's Dr Anne Ancia told.. that the more the UN agency investigates the outbreak, the clearer it becomes cases have spread to other areas. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-o3e... #Ebola #Medsky #MomSky

One man said people are "really scared" and doing what they can to protect themselves, but added that he wished they could get access to other protective supplies such as face masks. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-o3e... #Ebola #Medsky #MomSky

It's not okay to put people in warehouses. It's not okay to torture people & deprive them of healthy food, water & medical care. But the Republicans are okay with that. Only 1 party is standing against the #ICELawlessness, brutality & human rights abuses. The Democratic Party. Vote Blue!

A former DOJ prosecutor has been charged with emailing herself a copy of Jack Smith's report on the Florida documents case disguised as a cake recipe. She has pleaded not guilty, but could face up to 25 years in prison if convicted. www.rawstory.com/trump-jack-s...

So Trump’s golf club manager at Bedminster is “volunteering as a consultant” on the Reflecting Pool, including recruiting contractors. And somehow the price jumped from $1.8 to $13.1 million. I’m sure there’s absolutely no connection. 🙄 #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks newrepublic.com/post/210683/...

Trump's personal defense attorney defends the slush fund he was installed as acting AG to arrange.

Doesn’t this look familiar! Everything that is happening seems a lot like it’s from Hitler’s playbook!

#ToddBlanche, the acting Attorney General, was questioned by the Senate yesterday. He likely perjured himself. But among the extremely ALARMING shit to come out during questioning was this… one of the Jan 6th rioters, pardoned by tRvmp and later arrested and jailed for… 3/ youtu.be/dLI8zxs04JI?...

We still have not gotten the full story about Trump’s ballroom but his comments today about drones and missiles and snipers indicates there are much worse things going on there than a mere vanity project

Feels like Californians need a blast from the recent past of the harmful policies and attacks on our democracy from this administration that have directly impacted our state of CA. We need a Governor who has proven experience, who will fight back and protect us, not hand us over to authoritarianism.

C’mon Kids! ENOUGH “personality politics”! Let’s make a proven, experienced, battle tested, long time public servant Governor of California! #VoteBecerra for California Governor❗️

California friends, if you haven’t voted, I urge you to watch Jasmine Crockett’s endorsement of Xavier Becerra. It’s everything. And check back later. I was able to ask both Becerra and Crockett additional questions that I think matter. @jasmineforus.bsky.social @xavierbecerra.bsky.social

Donald Trump is an invasive species. I don't see Trumpism lasting past Trump — period, full stop. It's a cult of personality. With all due respect, @jd-vance-1.bsky.social, you don't have it.

Civil rights organizations are sounding the alarm ahead of a May 20 House Judiciary Committee hearing targeting the Southern Poverty Law Center, warning that the proceeding is part of a broader campaign by the Trump administration and (cont.) msmagazine.com/2026/05/19/s...

Here’s the uncomfortable truth: Air power alone doesn’t win wars. Symbolic strikes don’t create strategy. And if you engage in war, you either commit to an achievable outcome or you shouldn’t start it in the first place. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

BREAKING: TRUMP ENDORSES KEN PAXTON HAHAHAHAHAHA WE ARE GONNA FLIP TEXAS BLUE

The DOJ handed $1.8B in taxpayer money to Trump’s allies overseen by his former personal lawyer, after firing the ethics watchdog who objected. This isn’t a slush fund. It’s a heist with a government seal. 🔥 Democrats are investigating! #USDemocracy #Pinks newrepublic.com/post/210638/...

#ICELawlessness is impacting multiple communities & we need to support Democratic leaders who acknowledge this. This candidate, EstherKimVaret.com is running in one of the most flippable districts in the country, but we need to inform voters here because it's a new district, so please volunteer.

“It's almost, I would say, like cancer reoccurring, where you have to go back all over again with the hope that the cancer would go away a second time,” he said. #VotingRights #EdmundPettusBridge #AllRoadsLeadtotheSouth #BlackVotersMatter #SelmaAlabama www.thehandbasket.co/p/alabama-se...

Will you let them take your neighbors? Will you stay silent as they ransack, harass & torment fellow activists? How many people have you talked to about the brutality, torture & deaths inflicted by #ICELawlessness? How many are you willing to talk to? This isn't a rhetorical question. We need you!

To the many courageous activists and friends fighting against this regime — those who are exhausted, feeling hopeless, who quietly ask themselves Am I doing enough?, who sometimes feel isolated or alone — this is for you.

It’s easier for me I’m sure, not living in The States, but I thoroughly understand. The 1st go round was bad. Seeing him gaslight his way through his trials during those 4 years of relative respite & getting off Scott Free was excruciating. But this time, it’s like he’s repeatedly sodomizing the 🌎❗️

Investigating⁉️ HOW THE FUCK does this even HAPPEN⁉️

#RFKJr needs to step down from his privilege and ask some hard questions! “My patients are not suffering from depression; they’re suffering from oppression,” Kidia writes, detailing how many people’s conditions are dependent on external circumstances, including financial instability. flip.it/XDCKHp

“It did not take [the jury] two hours to conclude … that Mr. Musk’s lawsuit is nothing more than an after-the-fact contrivance that bears no relationship to reality,” OpenAI’s lead attorney, Bill Savitt, said after the verdict. ... #MusksAILawsuit 1/2 techcrunch.com/2026/05/18/e...

NEW: Carol Loennig tells Nicoll Wallace on MSNOW that the DOJ intends to try and indict Letitia James a THIRD time. The trouble with that is these multiple tries help James prove her vindictive and selective prosecution bid, and bolster a case to get the grand jury materials.

Charging the bastards is one thing, but the #ICE murderers of #PrettiGood and all others who shot, injured, abused both citizens and non citizens in #Minnesota and then LIED about it… need to be PROSECUTED and PUNISHED to the full extent of the LAW! #ICELawlesness flip.it/dRUBjY

Imagine living next to something that sounds like a washing machine you can’t turn off. That’s what Texans are dealing with from AI data centers. Tech barons get richer while communities lose peace, water, and local control.

They said data centers were the future. They didn’t tell us about higher costs, environmental damage, and billions in public health losses. Texans deserve the truth. Sign our petition to stop AI data centers >> www.claytontuckertx.com/stop_ai_cent... #Texas #AIDatacenters #ProtectTexas #Water

How’d ya like to buy a nice place in the country, maybe raise horses and grow some Georgia peaches? Sound good? More and more folks in rural #Georgia are running up against Meta’s #AIDataCenters. And no, the irony that this is posted on Instagram did not escape me.🫤 www.instagram.com/reel/DYL30y3...

It's so important to keep shining a light on the torture, medical neglect, abuse & #ICELawlessness of this administration! Please consider sharing this & talking about this story with others. We cannot let these stories fade away from the publicconsciousness. The savagery continues. Speak out! 🧵
