I really, really, really hate the term war fighter.

To the extent that the the US was ever a genuine democracy, that v shaky democracy lasted 48 years: 1965 (Voting Rights Act) - 2013 (the Roberts court's ruling in Shelby County v Holder). Fannie Lou Hamer fought way too hard & lost way too much for us to take SCOTUS's Callais ruling sitting down.

Today's Supreme Court ruling in Louisiana v. Callais is the culmination of John Roberts’ two-decade crusade to gut the Voting Rights Act. It is, simply put, a devastating blow to American democracy.

George C. Marshall is rolling over in his grave.

Look, I'm just surprised Mickey D's wasn't served last night.

The Trump administration rejected all four women farmers chosen by their peers to represent them in an industry group called the United Soybean Board earlier this year, a rare intervention by the U.S. Department of Agriculture that three of the women suspected was because of their gender.

Pete Hegseth is so stupid and everyone who voted for him should be ashamed.

RIP the black vote (1965-2026)

Like I said: the civil rights era never ended. You are still in it. The most important form of free speech, is the right to vote. Racists don't want Black people to vote. So they wrote down a plan to stack the Supreme Court with people that would make it harder for Black people to vote. It worked

NAACP President Derrick Johnson responds to the Supreme Court's decision to gut the Voting Rights Act:

Serious question, if the ballroom is paid for by donors (ie butt kissers) why do the Republicans want to use tax money to build it?

Guys, no one in class knew the trauma of The Neverending Story.

Pretty sure Merz knows the rules of capitalization, however.

Breaking: The Trump-aligned FCC is planning to file paperwork as early as this afternoon that will challenge Disney's eight licenses for its eight ABC stations. The early-renewal move would be a major escalation by Brendan Carr and would be widely seen as retaliation over Jimmy Kimmel cnn.it/41XdjH1

Obama had what, 5 or 6, in 2008 alone. I call BS on fake blonde lady.

I have issues with this piece, but it is worth reading the comments. Hats off to Raskin. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/27/u...

If you were horrified watching elected leaders run & scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed. Now, become a part of the solution & only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.

This admin went after a prof I know because she basically people in Gaza should live. STFU.

The United States now has the most government restrictions on academic freedom of any high-income country. www.chemistryworld.com/news/academi... Raw data from @vdeminstitute.bsky.social —> academic-freedom-index.net/research/Aca...

Trump brought most of his Cabinet and staff to the Correspondent’s event to fill seats that would have been vacant because of Press withdrawals.This was not HIS event but he made it his and And now they are using a non-administration event to justify demanding that he move forward with his ballroom.

Your organization isn’t keeping the government honest if you opt for a mentalist as entertainment because having a comedian gently roast the thin-skinned president for a half hour would hurt his fee-fees.

So a whole bunch of kids and teachers being slaughtered is less tragic? Is that what you are implying Sir Booze A lot?

Was this legit?

The reason why everyone is conspiracy theory this is because this admin has consistently shown us we cannot trust anything they say. How many times have they lied about Iran alone?

About last night’s scrambling from gun fire at White House reporters dinner .. Rep Jamie Raskin (D-MD) makes a critical point on CNN: “This is happening in schools across the country.. the kids have no resources to process their trauma”

How can the ballroom be top secret if he is constantly telling everyone, everything about it?

I'd love to see someone like @davidhogg.bsky.social make the point many of us are: What WHPC went through last night only begins to approximate what school kids across the US experience far too frequently. Thus far, this is being treated exclusively as a Trump thing, not a gun violence thing.

I am not usually a conspiracy theorist but I have many questions.

The truth we have to look directly in the face as a country is that we built a system where being a white guy with zero shame and a willingness to hurt people can get you 75% of the way to almost any goal. We need to maybe address this!

NEWS: Bette Midler just released a new music video for her remake of "All You Fascists Bound to Lose"—featuring Barbara Hershey, other celebrities, and crowds from the No Kings protests in a joyful, powerful show of resistance. You have to see this.

Her partner died in the Baltimore bridge collapse. The Biden administration offered her a way to stay in the U.S. Their 7-year-old is a U.S. citizen. The Trump admin is deporting her. www.npr.org/2026/04/23/n...

Honesty, Steve the driver for NJ #459 deserves a National obituary when he dies, may it be many, many years from now.

Six years.

Israeli forces killed journalist Amal Khalil and wounded her colleague, Zeinab Faraj, firing multiple strikes on the journalists in southern Lebanon in what critics described as Israeli forces “hunting her down.”

Noor-un-Nisa Inayat Khan (1914 – 1944) was a British agent in France in the Second World War who served in the Special Operations Executive. She became the first female wireless operator to be sent from the UK into occupied France to aid the French Resistance during WW2. #CelebratingWomen

If it was last June why are you at war with Iran now?

Trump: it only counts as bad if rich people lose a penny.

She is awful and should be fired but man that is three women out of the Cabinet and not a single guy

Pennsylvania's auditor general, a Republican, audited 210,000+ new voter registrations under Gov. Shapiro's new motor voter system to see if noncitizens were registering to vote. They found one. One. And that was because a PennDOT staffer erred. It was fixed before the driver left the office.

I am not surprised that Watson got cancelled but I am going to miss it. Fun fact: I taught students how to write a thesis statement using Morris Chestnut.

same morning convo for weeks: It‘s not that I trust Iran, it’s I really do not believe anything from this US administration more.
