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)

Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social in Montgomery: “We’re here united to take on this new confederacy, 60 years after the Selma March… because we know their intent is to dismantle everything gained during the civil rights movement.”

In the last 72 hours, Taiwan has gotten a heavy dose of the reality that Ukraine, Poland, Denmark and others have seen up close and personal. Just because you have been an ally for decades through admins of both parties, the US is not your friend as long as Trump is president.

Trump: "They've closed the strait in the past. They use as a weapon. They aren't using it as a weapon with me." (The strait is closed right now!)

The most accurate portrayal of the pro-Jim Crow, white nationalist Roberts Supreme Court I've seen yet.

Virginia Dems asked for permission instead of forgiveness. A mistake, IMHO.

Huntington Beach is wasting time and taxpayer money defending its illegal NIMBY policies instead of serving its own residents. Enough excuses — every city must follow state law and do its part to build more housing.

The modern Republican Party, folks. They are definitely not OK in Oklahoma.

Tina Peters sided with Donald Trump’s Big Lie over our democracy. Reducing her sentence is an insult to Coloradans and a reward to a wannabe king. crow.house.gov/media/press-...

Thanks, Supreme Court. You're waking up the majority and radicalizing us. You're becoming more illegitimate by the day. Bring it.

I’m pro-freedom, pro-law and order, pro-limited government, and pro-the Declaration and the Constitution. And so today I’m a Democrat.

U.S. households have paid an extra $268 every week in fuel costs since the start of Trump’s Iran War. With the spike, it's estimated that ExxonMobil’s full-year earnings will climb 46%. And Chevron's profits are expected to jump 56% for the year. It’s far past time for a windfall profits tax.

The USA has blocked 5 players from Iraq's team from coming to the World Cup. Including one who plays in the English Football League. Boycott the World Cup.

Survivor of Jeffrey Epstein breaks down in tears describing the moment she learned her name was revealed while the rich and powerful remained protected by redactions Roza: I kept my identity protected as Jane Doe. I woke up one day with my name mentioned over 500 times.

He’s not a good president nor was he a good builder

The first honest thing he’s said

This is only breaking news to members of his cult.

Democrats should ensure that voters hear this so much it haunts their dreams this fall.

TRUMP: “I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation. Not even a little bit.” And there you have it, folks

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."

??? 73% of Americans disapprove of trump’s economy.

Republicans refused to show up today for the #Epstein survivors testimony. Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett explains this shouldn’t be a partisan issue. She’s right. Shameful.

Mamdani has demonstrated something that Democrats have largely forgotten. You can't just do good things for voters and expect to be rewarded for it. You have to tell them about it, over and over again. You have to advertise your work in office just as much as you did on the campaign to win it.

More than 29 million gallons of unbilled water flowed to Quality Technology Services’ data center campus under development in Fayetteville, Georgia, after two industrial-scale hookups went unaccounted for. ground.news/article/data...

Rep. Patty Murray: "We need serious leadership at the FBI that the American people can trust…If you want to pass out liquor or pop bottles in a locker room, stick to podcasting. Leave law and order to people who really do care about justice."

This is going to come back to bite Trump — and ALL Republicans — big time in the midterms. I’m already picturing the Democrats’ campaign ads!

"The same Supreme Court that told Black voters in Alabama and Texas that they’d have to live with illegal maps because a primary was four months away had no problem blowing up an ongoing election in Louisiana."

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?

Breaking: South Carolina Senate rebuffs Trump, declines to take up redistricting before midterms, preserving Jim Clyburn's majority-Black district South Carolina State Senate Majority Leader Shane Massey: "We are the most gerrymandered Republican state in the country already"

Courtney Wild was 14 when Epstein started abusing her. While she waited for justice, the feds were negotiating a deal with Epstein's lawyers behind closed doors. She found out years later through a legal fight. The emails showed the government wasn't protecting victims. It was protecting Epstein.

Every so often, truth escapes Donald Trump's lips. This is true. Trump doesn't give a rat's ass about anyone's financial situation except his own and that of his cronies.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia is once again able to walk out of court and return to his family. Federal Judge Xinis’ protections remain in place for Kilmar. This victory is thanks to the power of community organizing and all of you who have stood up for justice. #Fight4Kilmar

Barack Obama appeared with James Talarico in Austin, Texas, aiming to boost the rising Democrat star in his uphill bid to flip a US Senate seat in the reliably Republican state. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/12/u...

Somewhat unexpected news from South Carolina: Enough Republican senators *opposed* a vote to add redistricting to the ongoing legislative session, so the measure was DEFEATED. This prevents the GOP from taking up a new congressional map and eliminate the majority-Black district held by Clyburn.

Republican House Rep. Chuck Edwards is facing an Ethics Committee investigation into alleged sexual misconduct of female staffers. Where are all the Republicans like Nancy Mace and Anna Paulina Luna screeching for him to resign?

JK Rowling is now represented by a trans person in the Scottish parliament. Absolutely incredible.

AOC on possibly running for the Senate or President: They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.
