Jeff Landry says it's not his fault about the 45,000 discarded ballots. I beg to differ. It might have been due to the SCOTUS ruling but the state is part of the reason it was rushed. #USDemocracy www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Rep. Stansbury: "This administration is choosing to not investigate the crimes that are in these files. The administration is choosing to release the names of survivors and not perpetrators…The administration is trying to gaslight the American people."

this is absolutely BONKERS behavior from the director of the FBI. it's a disgrace to his position and the entire US government.

#MorningVibe How can you help defend democracy? Democracy Docket founder @marcelias.bsky.social says to start small. Here are 10 things we can all do to make a difference. Which one will you try first? 🗳️🇺🇸

A teenager, exercising his First Amendment right to record federal goons in public, is calmly filming them when one of the goons suddenly shoves him into a car.

🚨 The ACLU + ACLU-TN have filed a federal lawsuit challenging Tennessee’s new congressional redistricting map on behalf of three individual Memphis voters, the Black Clergy Collaborative of Memphis, the Memphis A. Philip Randolph Institute, and the Equity Alliance. www.aclu.org/press-releas...

172 reports of sexual abuse and assault at the Tacoma’s Northwest ICE Detention Center. And instead of accountability, survivors were met with failed investigations, ignored evidence, and a system that protects private prisons over human lives.

Great turnout for MAGA MESS MONDAY today in Germantown, Tn.

I love that CA is showing Blue states the path to neutering ICE. I hate that the politicians are not fighting harder to ensure they pass. But we all know we can’t sit by passively. CA- please call your state reps. Blue states, this is your blueprint of what to do to neuter ICE. Pass these laws!

JUST IN: Virginia Democratic leaders have asked the U.S. Supreme Court to review last week's Virginia Supreme Court ruling that overturned the redistricting plan approved by Virginia voters, setting up a legal battle over whether the will of the electorate will be restored.

A Shark Tank investor just got a three-person county commission to approve one of the largest data centers ever built and the people who actually live there found out about it the same way you did.

‼️Urgent for Memphis Peeps‼️ the Justin J. Pearson campaign sent this message out - Hello, everyone: If you are in Memphis tomorrow, May 12th, we would love for you to join us at a press conference at 8:30 a.m. to announce next steps for the campaign at the corner of Park and Airways.

"Democratic governors and state legislators need to realize that this is no longer about fairness; it’s about fighting back so that they are not engineered out of the House forever. And I get that Dems don’t have the stomach for this kind of warfare--- find it."

"An ICE takedown caught on camera left a 19-year-old bleeding and requiring stitches to his head. Cellphone video showed the teen get tackled by agents. Once they figured out they had made a mistake, they dropped him off at a park, bloody and bruised..." www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/d...

🚨BREAKING: The U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) has allowed Alabama to select a different map for this year’s congressional elections in a stunning, last-minute move to interfere with another state primary election that has already begun. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Residents in Fayette County, Georgia noticed their water pressure was unusually low. Turns out that a data center 20 miles away had been drawing 30 million gallons of water in secret through connections the county didn't know existed. Is it any wonder why so many are opposed to data centers?

No Kings Marches are important. But southern states have changed the playing field — and districts. All those citizen-legislators in Louisiana and Tennessee and other states have BUSINESSES. Remember the Montgomery Bus Boycott? The Memphis Garbage Strike? Every business. Every day. All summer.

In May 1961, this brave man, John Lewis, was arrested for using a ‘whites only’ bathroom instead of using the bushes. We can’t go back. “When you see something that is not right, not fair, not just, you have to speak up.”—Georgia Congressman, John Lewis. #ProudBlue #JohnLewis #GoodTrouble

- 🌊💙 ☮️ #PamelasMondayMusings Border Security? Democrats keep bringing it up for a vote. Maga republican conservatives keep voting it down. Why? Cuz, GOP illegally hires illegal immigrants. Title 8 U.S.C. § 1324a(a)(1)(A) unlawful to hire, recruit or refer for a fee, for employment in US. -

How do we fight back against partisan gerrymandering and pass meaningful reform in the United States? Voting blue, @marcelias.bsky.social says. “We need to gain power to use that power to restore democracy.”

[email protected]l: "Sorry, the military doesn't have access to the state of the intelligence?" Rep. Moulton: That's right, very senior Pentagon planners will not have access to this intelligence because of how [the Administration] has reclassified it."

Mothers belong with their children. Yet today, deportation has left thousands of Black and Brown families broken.

The GOP is doing everything it can to silence voters and entrench minority rule. Overcoming that to win the midterms will require an unprecedented level of organizing across the country. Our movement was built for this moment.

I’m not sure about Central and Eastern Washington, but ICE abductions are anecdotally ramping up along the I-5 corridor, and I hope that people are planning accordingly. Take WAISN’s Rapid Response training and join their team. Find the folks in your neighborhood who are organizing mutual aid and RR

The Tennessee legislature decided, during early voting, that they would hold an emergency session, immediately after SCOTUS struck down part of the voting rights act, to change the congressional maps. This is racist gerrymandering‼️

Chicago teen battling terminal cancer dies hours after reuniting with parents An 18-year-old Chicago resident battling terminal cancer has died, just one day after being reunited with his parents following their release from U.S. immigration custody.

With our team of 60 lawyers, Elias Law Group is currently litigating 85 voting and election cases in 43 states plus DC. Perhaps someone should ask the law firms with thousands of lawyers how many pro-democracy cases they are handling. For most, the answer is zero.

Happy Mother's Day!! I have some good news about Tennessee cracking Memphis black district!!

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: Federal immigration raid by masked goons as parents were dropping off their children at a nearby elementary school.

During his campaign, when Trump said “Make America Great Again,” a lot of Black folks heard “Make America White Again.” That’s why so many of us warned people, and WE WERE RIGHT. 🧵

There are 86 pregnant mothers locked up in ICE concentration camps. Pregnant immigrants in detention for months despite rules against it - Los Angeles Times share.google/PQsxrLcoTOWM...

I often say that the fight for democracy is the fight of our generation. But let me be clear, if you aren’t fighting for Black voting rights right now then you aren’t really fighting for democracy.

“This whole thing boils down to this charade they’re performing that this is only about partisanship and not about race.” @brotherjones.bsky.social tells Kanew & @realdlhughley.bsky.social when he walked into the Capitol it was 2026 and when he walked out it was pre-1965. #Memphis #JimCrow

🔥 @marcelias.bsky.social : “HAVE WE LEARNED NOTHING? Has the broader legal community not learned that when you do this to Black voters it turns out bad for democracy for everybody?” 🇺🇸

Former Confederate states are trying to lock Black and Brown Americans out of political power.

Intriguing question... 🤔

Lawyer for U.S. citizen who was detained by ICE 3 times: ICE is just rounding up people based on how they look without any reason to suspect that they've done anything wrong. Even when a citizen shows ID, they're put into handcuffs.
