There's a major civil rights protest taking place in Selma, Alabama, right now in response to the SCOTUS decision that weakened the Voting Rights Act and the ongoing attack on Black Americans’ political power (video: defiancedispatch/IG)

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @dennisgoris.bsky.social )

@profanity.accountant how do I do?

Today is the LAST DAY to vote EARLY ahead of Tuesday’s primary elections and elections for the Supreme Court of Georgia, the Georgia Court of Appeals, and Superior Court. Make a plan. Go vote!

ICE is moving forward with its plans to convert commercial warehouses into mass detention camps which may become the largest prisons in the entire country. Initially, ICE planned to open the first one by now. That never happened. Now they’re targeting early next year.

#BREAKING: Full Supreme Court *grants* stays pending appeal in mifepristone case; preserves nationwide access to remote/mail dispensation of the drug. Only Justices Thomas and Alito publicly dissent.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court HALTS the 5th Circuit's decision blocking telemedicine mifepristone nationwide. Alito and Thomas dissent. Thomas suggests that mailing abortion pills violates the Comstock Act. www.documentcloud.org/documents/28...

You're about to see headlines saying abortion pills can't be shipped. THAT IS NOT TRUE You can still get abortion pills by mail to all fifty states. Some providers will switch to miso-only, some will ship both mife & miso. I got into all of this when the federal court ruling first dropped:

Ugh yeah why can’t Dem senators just get over the time Trump tried to assassinate them?

DeSantis says he doesn't care when or if FEMA reimburses Florida for Alligator Alcatraz, which... is reportedly closing soon due to high costs. Construction for the facility came out of a state disaster relief fund. This project was a disgrace and Floridians should be pissed

First, laws intended to be discriminatory in their effects often don’t look discriminatory in their texts. It is how these laws are used, not what they say, that provides the racially discriminatory outcomes that the Jim Crow era was known for. 10/

This is the Ife Head, a medieval Yoruba brass head found in 1938 in Ife (Nigeria). When the British Museum acquired it in 1939, it caused a huge uproar, because it is a beautifully carved naturalistic bust, but scholars didnt want to believe it was made by African people.

House Democrats secured the necessary signatures to bypass Speaker Mike Johnson and force a vote on a package of Russia sanctions and billions of dollars in Ukraine aid. This is the eighth time in the last three years that a discharge petition has been used to do an end-run around GOP leadership.

This is amazing - @kevinolearytv 🤡 is fearmongering about Chinese agents opposing his giant Utah data center… but it’s 2 young local girls in Utah who hilariously call him (and his “dumbass hat”) out👇🏽 Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DYU074V...

With everything in the news I've been reflecting on V.O. Key's Southern Politics, which traces the history, implementation, and political implications of the South's Jim Crow legal regime. I learned a few things about that history that are relevant to today. 1/ archive.org/details/sout...

The survivors deserve justice. Keep talking‼️ #SheShed

Repubs want to spend $1 billion on Trump's dance hall. Dr. Annie Andrews wants to put that money to work for South Carolina: paying teachers, funding SNAP, building roads in bridges. She'll work for the people of South Carolina, not Trump. Elect Dr. Annie Andrews U.S. Senate, South Carolina

Seven ICE agents surrounded four workers without a warrant or legal authority. The workers called a local sanctuary hotline, advocates came running. ICE left empty-handed. Hit ❤️ if you love seeing everyday people stand up & win. Read the incredible story here: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/thirty-six...

Dr. Rubeliz Bolivar Barrios has been released! She should never have been locked away by ICE. As an emergency and trauma doctor, she served patients in South Texas with dedication. I am grateful that she will be reunited with her 5 year-old daughter Milena and husband.

In 1855 Jamaican nurse Mary Seacole went to the Crimean Peninsula to care for soldiers in wartime. She & Florence Nightingale were honored in London for their service. Seacole wrote "I am proud of [my] relationship to those poor mortals whom you once held enslaved & whose bodies America still owns."

President Obama: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz.”

$1 billion for a Ballroom, $10 billion for vanity projects in DC, $15 million for an arch in front of Arlington Cemetery. Meanwhile—they are proposing to cut over $1 billion in tribal programs, tribal housing, education, water and other basic programs, while opening sacred sites like Chaco Canyon.

This. All of this. #Pinks #ProudBlue

Want to fight back against the Republicans trying to take away our votes? SEND THIS VIDEO TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW IN GEORGIA!! 🔥🔥🍑🍑 And if you live in GA for God’s sake vote on 5/19 (or in early vote until the 15th) as if your freedom depended on it. It may. Info in links in first comment below.

When the gas tank is empty, a car's internal combustion engine produces no energy. When the propane tank is empty, a home furnace produces no energy. When the Straits of Hormuz are closed, 20% of the world's oil fields produce no energy.

Making it to all the stops (that we know of) on the Duffy's Great American "Road" Trip would cost about $900 in gas for a single car -- and that's before you factor in hotels, meals, attraction prices, and the $14,000 luxury Caribbean cruise www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Really hard to imagine a crew more comprehensively crude, malign, incompetent, corrupt and shameless getting hold of a previously mostly functional state than the appalling specimens now running this country into every available ditch.

HUD SECRETARY SCOTT TURNER: We can't just house people CLYBURN: How do you house them if you take all the money away? TURNER: Housing first is a failed model, sir CLYBURN: I'm not dealing in slogans. How do you house people when you take the money away?

Three-byline alert: 🚨 “.. Most alarming to some senior officials is evidence that Iran has restored operational access to 30 of the 33 missile sites it maintains along the Strait of Hormuz ..” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/05/12/u...

C'mon, California—not him! Chad Bianco led a culture of cover-ups related to inmate deaths on his watch according to whistleblower testimony. You can expect more of the same if he's elected CA's Governor. #XavierBecerraForGovernor @XavierBecerra.bsky.social www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

ESPAILLAT: What happens to a child if a family is split bc they're thrown out of a home bc of the status of the dad? TURNER: Families have to make good decisions E: So the child should pay, even if the mother is a citizen & the child is too? T: If a family is breaking the law, everybody suffers

The Oregon Secretary of State’s Office is urging voters who want to mail in their ballots to do so no later than today because changes at the U.S. Postal Service mean it could take longer than usual for ballots to reach local elections offices. Read more at theoregonian.visitlink.me/GX_YwY

Survivors of Epstein were not only robbed of their safety, but in many cases also faced financial instability. @pressley.house.gov and Oversight Dems are committed to getting them justice.

Trump: "Americans' financial situation -- I don't think about anybody. I think about one thing. We cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon. That's all."

When Trump praises an acting Attorney General because he “kept me out of jail,” he is telling you exactly what he thinks the Justice Department is for.

Here’s the math most people aren’t doing: Wages grew 3.6% this year. Inflation hit 3.8%. That’s a -0.2% real wage loss. And it just happened for the first time in 3 years.

Palm Beach is where many of Epstein's horrific crimes took place. And it's where some of the most damning failures of accountability occurred. That's why we've brought our investigation here. Tune in to our @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social hearing with survivors: www.youtube.com/live/SSkTW4m...

🚨If you are in Louisiana! The State Senate redistricting vote was scheduled for Wednesday About 7 p.m. cst the cowards found out about the protest & changed the vote to 5/12/2026 (tommorow) What do good protestors do❓ Move the day of the protest too & show up then‼️ More info👇 Bit.ly/fairmaps2026

More & more eligible low-income people are losing SNAP because of H.R. 1’s bureaucratic hurdles, including this mom who has tried for months to get her family’s benefits back while working & caring for 2 young kids. Keep in mind: SNAP benefits average about $6 per person per day.

DOJ has lost 11,000 employees under Trump. It's so bad they're offering $25,000 sign on bonuses with zero prior experience required. The only requirement is you have to be a Republican. youtube.com/shorts/j6IBZ...
