Has anyone contacted the national suicide hotline on Belfast of the GOP?

Mike Johnson thinks $174,000 isn’t enough to survive without insider trading. But $15/hour is too much to ask for everyone else. Every single day, these goons prove how disconnected they are from everyday Americans.

The Religious Right is desperate these days to pretend that "Christian Nationalism" is (1) a recently-invented term and (2) a pejorative invented by their enemies, but neither of those claims is remotely true. Here's a short thread, but I'm sure other historians will have examples too.

Mike Johnson is a typical Christian Nationalist, full of ahistorical disinformation about the United States. "In God We Trust" was not a motto from this nation's founding. It was added in 1956, at the height of the Cold War, as a Christian Nationalist rebuke to the Soviet Union.

The stories & photos from today’s voting rights marches in Alabama deserve to be seen by people who weren’t able to stand there in person.

The people who say, “Food is expensive, just garden” have perhaps not been to a garden store.

Supreme Racism. A political cartoon by Bob Whitmore about the Voting Rights Act and the U.S. Supreme Court.

No one in this regime will face federal criminal accountability unless we reform the Supreme Court first. That's what folks should be running on. That should be the lesson of the Jack Smith prosecutions: it doesn't matter who the AG is.

just open contempt for the united states as a pluralist and secular democracy. and a reminder that the function of the fiction that the united states was founded as a fundamentalist christian nation is to establish a hierarchy of human worth with white christians at the top

"You can't put a Black actor in this movie! That's desecrating the story of that long dead author!" Brought to you by the same impressively stupid fuckers who think Jesus is white.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

CARTOON OF THE DAY 😕🇺🇸 (From @andertoon.bsky.social )

As someone pointed out to me offline, this is a really funny typo in Alito’s mifepristone dissent: www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

It’s weird to me how people clamor over President Obama any time he speaks now and say ‘I miss having a President who speaks in complete sentences’ and other related things but somehow dismiss that the choice was there for someone else just like that in VP Harris

Black Excellence = 65 College Acceptance Letters Lamont Newell, 17-year-old valedictorian from South LA with a 4.4. GPA that has received 65 college acceptance letters and plans to attend Columbia University to study industrial engineering #blackexcellence #blackboys #BlackSky #ReeseWaters

It must be mindblowing! #BookSky

To the crackers celebrating redistricting to stay in power…the last time the South rose up, it got smashed. Same thing gonna happen this time.

If racism is no longer a problem, then why are all the states rushing to redistrict after the Supreme Court ruling all in The South? And all the people pushing to redistrict all White? 🤔🤔🤔

Truth!

5 Southern states (AL, GA, LA, MS and SC) have 38 members of the House, 10 of whom are Black After SCOTUS gutted the Voting Rights Act, these states will work to have zero or one Black Member total, even though their voting population is just under 30% Black But Alito said racism isn’t the reason

General @markhertling.bsky is an expert. This regime may not listen to experts. But you should!

We need more white people to step up and say this isn't ok!!! It will take all of us.

Let it be remembered that white America hated the idea of Black presidents so bad that they decided to just burn it all down instead

REP. @aftynbehn.bsky.social : “Well, that concludes our 250 year 🇺🇸 experiment, because Grandma Gone Wild @MarshaBlackburn decided to eliminate the last Democratically held seat in Tennessee, in MEMPHIS, where 65% of the constituents are Black. We need international attention on this.”

I'm beginning to notice that the government really doesn't care, whether we are unhappy with things that they are doing... Soon, they will be telling US what THEY are demanding. We are no LONGER a democracy. The illusion that "government" works FOR us is not true anymore.

Who thinks the United States government is lying about everything?

You must think we are all idiots if you think we'll believe gerrymandering black voters out of representation has nothing to do with racism

It is why we all have to suffer and now have a Supreme Court with 6 racist, misogynist and corrupt justices. Just because powerful men could not bring themselves to hear the truth and believe Anita Hill in 1991.

Its stupid to expect the US government to respect international law when it cant even respect US law

WE ARE UNDER-REACTING‼️ If you needed any more proof that the Voting Rights Act is still necessary, just look at what’s happening right now: red states rushing to wipe out Black representation the second SCOTUS gutted it. What went down this week is going to have devastating consequences. 🧵

Only in America can one party control the White House, the Senate, the House of Representatives, win the popular vote, and hold the majority of governorships—and still blame the other party for everything wrong with the country.

quick reminder that Pete Hegseth is still employed

REP. @brotherjones.bsky.social : “This is a power grab… they’re spitting on the graves of all that work, saying we’re going to allow Black political voices & representation to be dismantled across the South- following marching orders of the White House. We’ve gotta fight back.” @GovBillLee

If you call the police on a black person who has done nothing wrong or nothing wrong to you, knowing that black person could end up dead at the hands of the police, makes you a special kind of piece of shit! Excrement from an elephant’s ass with the smell to match.

So Eric Trump is now threatening to sue MeidasTouch because our editor-in-chief simply reported on the massive amounts of money he and Don Jr. are making off government contracts. File the lawsuit Eric. We’d love to put you under oath. Our message: www.meidasplus.com/p/trump-fami...

Can someone let the AP know that violating court orders is not a sign of "executive power. " It is a sign of contempt, lawlessness and authoritarianism.

no matter how many libs you own, you can't buy gas with them

The ignorance of the people who vote for these criminals is why we are where we are. Good morning everyone. ☕️☕️☕️

If you're legally banned from running a charity why the fuck can you be allowed to be President it makes no goddam sense

You don’t need an autopsy to know why we lost 2024: In-party fundamentals, nominee switch 90 days out, and the Harris field team forbid canvassers from talking about Trump- leaving 60% of swing voters to have fond memories of term 1 WHICH ENDED IN INSURRECTION.

I didn’t know this. Did you?

My version of "truth to power."
