While you can’t afford a trip for your family this summer, you just paid for Sean Duffy’s 7-month road trip at $4.55 per gallon of gas.

The great irony of the Welsh success of Reform, run by millionaire ex-public schoolboys, is that one the greatest Welshmen, & founder of the NHS, warned of this “How can wealth persuade poverty to use its political freedom to keep wealth in power? Here lies whole art of Tory politics” Aneurin Bevan

Love this movie. I highly recommend reading the book also. It is actually pretty progressive for the time in which it was written. The movie blends character traits of Uncus and Hawkeye. Of particular interest is the implication that Cora is of mixed race. Read it.

😂

The South didn't even wait for the ink to dry before gutting Black representation. If you need more proof that systemic racism is alive and voting rights are in danger, you’re choosing to stay blind.

“Cherish the natural world, because you’re a part of it and you depend on it.” — Sir David Attenborough I took the great man’s advice today and on #ForestFriday I walked in my local ancient woods. Depend on me, it did me good. Happy 100th Sir D. #ECK #ClassicMono #Photography #ColorADay #BWFri

"A democracy without Black representation is not a democracy."

I am filling out my ballot. Thank God for mail in voting in Oregon. I am acutely aware, this voting season, that knowing who the local judges are, and what they stand for is extremely important. Vote!

It's not redistricting. It's racism.

I visited the Pentagon recently and remarked to my escort there were lots of bathrooms. He said it’s because the Pentagon’s in Virginia and when it was built Jim Crow laws were in effect - the separate bathrooms were for blacks. As we saw in Virginia today, the past isn’t dead. It isn’t even past.

Reminds me of the old PJ O’Rourke quote: “The Republicans are the party that says government doesn't work and then they get elected and prove it."

They’re releasing the UFO files to distract you from the Epstein files.

Thought other politicians just hated Mamdami's guts so much because of racism, but he seems to be setting the kind of standards they Really don't want to meet so maybe he scares the shit out of them because he's showing everyone how easy it would be to actually do their damn jobs

We don't go on vacation at all, can't afford one. At this point I might consider a pornhub vacation!😂

Absolutely.....

I left Northern Ireland to come here to play soccer in 1981. It was at the height of the troubles. When I left my mates called me a lucky bastard for getting to go live in America. Last month I was home in Ireland for a wedding. The same people told me how sorry they were for me having to live here.

That is just weird.

Voter approved maps are illegal but Republican lawmakers approving a Republican drawn map to weaken the Black vote is legal.

Tennessee Rep. Justin Pearson just destroyed Trump.

The white people

"In Trump’s world, the only civil rights worth protecting are those of aggrieved white men. The problem is that while there is no shortage of angry white guys, there’s nothing to investigate unless they have suffered some sort of harm. Enter Stephen Miller's firm, America First Legal."

He means white people.

Absolutely disgusting! Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine I would see the day when all the progress of the Civil Rights Movement would begin to be dismantled, yet here we are. #uspoli

Trump threatened to nuke Iran during the same press event where he called a woman reporter "baby" and a "bitch" and we'll all just supposed to continue on tomorrow as though any of this insanity is normal or acceptable

Attorney Kurt Olsen once worked to try to overturn Trump’s 2020 loss in court and was later sanctioned by judges for making baseless allegations about Arizona elections. He is now Trump’s director of election security and integrity.

It's amazing how quickly White politicians in the South rushed to PROVE exactly why we needed the Voting Rights Act!

“This was the work of Dr. King and John Lewis, and they tore that apart… this was not race-neutral.” CNN shows our footage from the Capitol today as @RepCohen talks to @kaitlancollins about the racist Republican map passing, stripping majority-Black Memphis of representation.

“If you say something that the president or this administration does not like, they’re going to come after you. The president is trying to silence us, and I can’t think of anything more un-American.” -Sen. Mark Kelly

REP. @votegloriaj.bsky.social : “This is not a special session, this is a white power rally, and a white power grab.” #JimCrow #Memphis

Bloody hell!

lol sure they are 👍🏽

UPDATE: Today Tennessee Republicans will strip representation from majority Black Memphis and dilute it with white power, stretching their districts to cherry red Williamson County, the richest in the state — making Tennessee 9-0 Republicans. While insisting it isn’t about race.

Children’s literature encourages readers that books are for us. We belong in books! Their books see us, teach us, amplify empathy & kindness, make us laugh, magnify our whimsy. Books are our friends. Thank you, children’s literature authors & illustrators. You create so much wonderful work for us 💛

Gas is $4.56 a gallon Let's check in on what the president is working on today:

If you’re watching voter suppression happen in real time and saying nothing — that’s not staying out of it. That’s being part of it. Black and Brown voters need ALL of us speaking up right now. Share this. Say something. Show up. Democracy doesn’t defend itself.

$1 billion in YOUR tax payer dollars to fund a “East Wing Modernization Project”… …slipped into a Trump reconciliation bill late Monday night that would give ICE a blank check til 2029. Hell No!

Racism is still with us. But it is up to us to prepare our children for what they have to meet, and, hopefully, we shall overcome.” – Rosa Parks

Sen. Warnock is right: Republicans found $200 billion for a war in Iran overnight. But for 25 million uninsured Americans? Nothing. No urgency. No bill. No vote. They fund what they value. And they just told you exactly what that is. #HealthcareNotWarfare #USDemocracy

Nobody knows more about Epstein than @jkbjournalist.bsky.social. She’s absolutely right: the American people can’t lose sight of the fact that the Trump administration is covering up for pedophiles. Keep the pressure up. Follow the money.

WALTER BAILEY: “Dr. King took a bullet in the neck. They were shot. Killed. Murdered. Advancing voting rights… it’s an insult to their legacy. To their deaths.” @GovBillLee @MarshaBlackburn SenJohnson BrentTaylorTN #Memphis

Lutnick lied. #ReleasetheFiles

Epically clueless.🤡

Mental Health Awareness Month isn’t just a hashtag it’s a reminder that what people carry inside often goes unseen.
