what really gets me about the Virginia Supreme Court redistricting decision today is that 1.6 million Virginia voters approved this map! you're telling me legislatures can freely impose racist maps on the public, but the public can't choose fair maps for itself? ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

How the fuck does the GOP explain this? www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Zohran Mamdani has made NYC the safest it's ever been IN THE CITY'S HISTORY. You can tell which media consider him an enemy by whether or not they will report this simple fact. gothamist.com/news/nyc-rep...

Full statement on the Supreme Court's ruling in Louisiana v. Callais: "The Roberts Court seeks to achieve what the Confederacy and the Klan could not while wearing robes that are black rather than white."

Today's demolition of Voting Rights Act by Roberts Court will likely trigger largest drop in Black representation since end of Reconstruction. They're taking America back to Jim Crow, when white supremacy and one party rule enshrined across South www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

We are such a destructive species. #Pinks

UNICEF just needs to release the hostages

You failed in your analysis during the campaign. Now we reap what you have sown.

We reviewed an 18-page report detailing the second-by-second surveillance of a trans woman. They followed her as she went in and out of the bathroom, even though she posed 'no threat." It's one of a bunch of new details in this deep dive that @robertsilverman.bsky.social and I took for @wired.com

Senator Wyden can’t say it plainly without losing his security clearance, but this raises the alarm that Kash & crew have decided they can illegally surveil Americans without a warrant.

Democrats are underreacting to Donald Trump’s obvious mental decline. They should be shouting it from the rooftops and on every cable show, just like Republicans did with Joe Biden. Trump is clearly not well.

Please more attention to this.

Texas' only licensed Hindi, Punjabi, and Urdu legal interpreter is now languishing in a Raymondville detention center. She’s lived in America for 35 years: www.texasobserver.org/immigration-...

can’t say what i want to happen to these people for legal reasons

NEW—I got an exclusive excerpt from a USAID whistleblower's new book that made me gasp multiple times. It details Trump's dismantling of the humanitarian aid agency & his team/DOGE's shocking ignorance to public health. 'Into the Wood Chipper' by Nicholas Enrich is out tomorrow. Read excerpt here:

Viktor Orban accomplished so much of what the Trump movement wants to accomplish here he ruled for 16 years and rewrote the rules in his favor and still, they threw him out and you know what? they did it by voting don’t let anyone tell you voting doesn’t matter

This is the least he should do. Resigning from the House is also necessary.

On Nov. 14, 2023, Ciji Graham had an episode of atrial fibrillation that put her at risk of heart failure. According to a text Graham sent to a friend that day, her cardiologist didn’t treat her because she was pregnant. Days later, she died. (Published Jan.)

The way Ed Blum is going after scholarships for people of color right after going after affirmative action Like just in case Black kids still get admitted to college, he wants to make sure they can’t afford to go ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

The bills seeking to shield oil companies from lawsuits send the message that “you can pollute with impunity,” said Carly Phillips of the Union of Concerned Scientists. “It’s really a thumb in the eye of places that are affected by climate change.”

ICE has targeted & detained a CT high school student, who entered legally & has no criminal record. His father, Zia, was an interpreter for U.S. troops in Afghanistan. This is a clear display of ICE's outrageous, misguided priorities & why I’m fighting for total reform.

Péter Magyar casts his vote in Hungary today. Get Viktor Orbán outta there! Go Magyar!

I've studied so many concentration camps through history that held vulnerable people in just this kind of crowded squalor. You demonize people, you demand more arrests, this is what you get. It already has its own budget and its own momentum, and is on track to go much further, unless we stop it.

Meet the Black Women Responsible for Launching Artemis II Historically, Black women have played “hidden” roles at NASA since the 1940s. Now, their work is finally being recognized with the Artemis II mission... www.theroot.com/meet-the-bla...

Pete Hegseth's Defense Dept appears to be caught in a lie. It involves deaths of 21 people (including at least 5 children), injuring 110 in Lamerd, Iran with sports hall and school. By a U.S. missile (PrSM) never before used in combat. NYT sources include: 3 US officials! 1/

The woman being murdered in the video Trump posted was an immigrant. Her name was Nilufar Yasmin. She was from Bangladesh. Trump is weaponizing her death against communities like hers. Outstanding reporting from @pabloreports.bsky.social for Migrant Insider. migrantinsider.com/p/her-name-w...

With nearly all ballots counted in Wisconsin, a startling stat: Chris Taylor, the liberal candidate, appears to have flipped 29 counties that went for Trump in 2024. (boltsmag.org/wisconsin-su...)

Begging, pleading: You can't have a ceasefire deal everyone understands to mean completely different things. This isn't like a trade negotiation, this actually matters.

HOW DO YOU HAVE A MISUNDERSTANDING OVER A DIPLOMATIC AGREEMENT? HOW DO BOTH SIDES NOT AGREE TO TERMS WRITTEN ON THE SAME PIECE OF PAPER? I'M LOSING MY MIND.

Prime Minister of Spain Pedro Sánchez: “The Government of Spain will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they show up with a bucket.” 🍿

400 dead so far, over 1000 injured, dozens and dozens missing. This is one hour into the massacre. I have no idea what the death toll will be in the end. Also, they have announced “another wave” of attacks coming

ICE shot a man on the side of I-5 in California this morning. Before we even know if he's alive, ICE has a press release out explaining why he deserved it. There is no death penalty in this country for being accused of a crime. ICE is not judge, jury, or executioner. youtube.com/shorts/pfrVQ...

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

BREAKING: Trump announces two week window for Congress to remove him from office

He still needs to be removed from office. A war powers resolution will not suffice. He circumvented Congress to start the war. He circumvented them on tariffs and appropriations. Why anyone thinks he'd adhere to a Congressional war powers resolution is beyond me.

“The president is a well-known pathological liar, so it should not be newsworthy when he threatens genocide.”

Drag him out by his cankles, prosecute him for what’s in the Epstein files and/or hand him over to The Hague for war crimes. Before it’s too late.

“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.” -Trump Article III The following acts shall be punishable: (a) Genocide; (b) Conspiracy to commit genocide; (c) Direct and public incitement to commit genocide; (d) Attempt to commit genocide; (e) Complicity in genocide.

This is so bad… The Trump administration gutted our government’s cybersecurity capabilities, and now they’re in panic mode because they’re getting hacked. Who could have seen this coming?

He is insane. And this is an open declaration of intended genocide. If any other world leader said this, there would be sanctions and an arrest warrant, not just for him, but for his whole regime.

I feel sick to my stomach waiting around to see what atrocity Trump has in mind for the people of Iran this evening. It's hard to fathom our other elected leaders aren't able to check him in any meaningful way. It's an indictment not just of voters but of our whole system. We're ruled by a mad king.

JD Vance campaigns with Orban: "What has happened in this election campaign is one of the worst examples of foreign election interferences that I've ever seen or read about. The bureaucrats in Brussels have tried to destroy the economy of Hungary. They've done it because they hate this guy."

Flip this around. "American researcher in China dies after 'hostile questioning' by government authorities" How would the U.S. react?

Y'all there is a woman and a black man circling the moon and NASA's mission control+ science teams are so diverse and people are nerding out about science and exploration this is all a gigantic middle finger to the stupid and hate and grotesque ghouls running our country

Remember when DHS agents had no choice but to shoot two Venezuelan men because the men had attacked them with a snow shovel and a broomstick? New video shows they were lying about that one, too. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/06/u...
