Jim Crow never disappeared completely — it evolved. Poll taxes became voter ID barriers, literacy tests became aggressive purges & racial gerrymandering still threatens Black political power. And there is still plenty of blatant racism! Fight back! #JimCrowJen www.nytimes.com/2026/05/12/u...

60 years ago, the Supreme Court upheld the Voting Rights Act of 1965 after the brutality of Bloody Sunday shocked the nation. Today, Trump, the Republicans & SCOTUS are attacking and dismantling those protections piece by piece, and it's blatant racism. #JimCrowJen

Wow. This NYC pop up is 🔥 The Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room is open as a public installation displaying all 3.5 million pages of the released and partially redacted Epstein files, printed and bound into 3,437 volumes. This shouldn’t just stay in NYC. Take it on the road.

It’s actually very difficult to keep a distance from all this rather than be hardened to it — to remind yourself this man is a demented freak, that his followers are shitbird cultists, that his aims and the aims of his supporters are un-American and evil.

Tom Steyer: "I do think we should be working to abolish ICE because I do think it's a criminal organization

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 24-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION people in Denmark found NO LINK between aluminum in childhood vaccines and autism, asthma, OR chronic disorders. Aluminum is an ADJUVANT. It ENHANCES your immune response to a vaccine. That’s it.

Did you know you've really been 'blinking' all night, not sleeping? "He was blinking, you absolute moron," - WH defending CorruptGrampy's latest snoozefest in their usual eloquent manner.🙄 "Doctors & health orgs generally recommend that healthy adults get 7 to 9 hours of blinking per night"-MT 😄

I'm not saying the disastrous painting of the DC Reflecting Pool (way behind schedule, 600% over-budget, apparent kickbacks, guaranteed to produce new algae blooms) is as bad as the Iran War—a historic blunder—I'm just saying it's the Iran War of wasteful Big Government projects

John Roberts is a moderate. But only if you’re a white supremacist.

If Trump were innocent & the Epstein files would vindicate him, he would've released them years ago.If Trump is guilty & the Epstein files contain proof of his crimes, there's nothing he wouldn't do to prevent their full release...like start a war...or start another war...or threaten to use nukes...

After 250 years! A powerful photograph. We’re not going back! #sheshed #voterizer #momsky

MFs! I detest Republicans. I want to see them held accountable!

Trump knows this gas price crisis is bad for him politically. That’s why he lies about it. But we all see the prices with our own eyes. And he is out of touch with reality. What is Trump and his Republican Congress doing to reduce gas and fix the economy? #TrumpsGasFailure

Sen Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) asks filmmaker David Borenstein if Trump is following Putin’s playbook to try and take over what Americans watch, his answer will stun you. Borenstein says Trump’s takeover is happening faster than what Putin did. Pay attention folks!!

Bill Maher rips Trump over Epstein’s alleged suicide note: ‘Who does that sound like?’

Reminder... Any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message — they can't win on their ideas alone.

We are in the worst possible hands imaginable with RFK Jr. running HHS and the guy who told people to drink bleach during COVID back in the White House.

Let that sink in…🤔 #ReleasetheEpsteinFiles #Epsteinvictims #justice #womensrights

Mainstream TV news has shifted from “inform the public” to “don’t offend power.” The worst part is the tone: everything is delivered like a calm weather report while the country is on fire. These past anchors understood that journalism is supposed to apply pressure. Not host a brunch panel.

State supreme court justices play a critical role in defending your rights and freedoms, which is why the election happening in Georgia right now is so important. Make sure you have a plan to vote for Jen Jordan and Miracle Rankin.

It’s staggering How swiftly states in the South can still move to stymie Black voters And how ready they were to do so

30 percent of Americans are against [squints at notes] the Pope urging peace

Irony alert

We have a president who took the nation into a war for reasons he never articulated, without a strategy for how to respond if Iran did the expected, and without an exit strategy if Iran doesn’t surrender. Trump is cornered — and the rest of us are paying the price.

I really wonder what the fallout is going to be because the sanitized version of history they’ve sold for a long time is “Jim Crow was a shameful moment in history but we defeated it and came out the other side a better country” and now it’s just… back it’s the end of a myth in the starkest terms

Trump was supposed to have an on camera event with the president of Brazil at 11:15am today. It is now nearly 2pm. The president of Brazil is at the White House. But nobody knows what's going on.

"Some of us were too quick to believe in a final cultural/political victory, confident that even as Republicans used their power to preserve emblems of the Confederacy and banish discussion of slavery and racism from schools, they were fighting a doomed rear-guard action." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

"And today, the Supreme Court supermajority they spent decades building is fulfilling its purpose, while the administration advocates a white supremacism more shameless than anything we’ve seen in our lifetimes." 🔥

Zero Tennessee House Republicans stood and spoke in favor of their racially gerrymandered 9-0 map stripping Memphis of representation during their allotted time. Speaks volumes.

Hey, remember when we found out top Trump administration official Tom Homan took $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from an undercover FBI agent, the Trump people said, "Who cares, piss off," everyone decided to move on, and he's still there making policy? That was funny.

These deaths are on him as well as the parents he has misled.

If you saw this happening in another country, what would you call it? https://newrepublic.com/post/210013/fbi-investigation-atlantic-reporter-kash-patel-drinking

They’re redrawing maps to silence Black and Brown Tennesseans. That’s racist voter suppression with a drafting pen. Tennessee is rising up and making one thing clear: No Jim Crow reboot will stand. Not here. Not now. Not ever.

NEW: ProPublica identified at least 79 children who’ve been left screaming, unable to breathe, or otherwise hurt by tear gas and pepper spray during Trump’s historic immigration crackdown.

One lesson to take from this abysmal moment is that no victory is permanent and politics never ends. The right knew it, and the left can no longer ignore it. But that also means that the horrors now being unleashed on the country can be undone. By @paulwaldman.bsky.social in @atrupar.com’s PN:

FREE PRESS INTIMIDATION! On Wednesday, Keystone Kop Kash Patel’s FBI searched the home of a Washington Post reporter who has been digging into the Trump regime. Washington, D.C., native Hannah Natanson, described as the Post’s “federal government whisperer,” […] [Original post on mstdn.social]

Actually I don't find it funny at all. We've wasted $72 billion, seriously made life harder and more expensive for those in our country that can least afford it. It's a debacle that infuriates me.
