🚨BREAKING: In a 4-3 ruling, the Virginia Supreme Court has OVERTURNED the redistricting referendum approved by voters last month. The court ruled the General Assembly violated the Virginia Constitution in advancing the amendment, nullifying the referendum entirely.

BREAKING: Louisiana citizens are launching an effort to RECALL Republican Governor Jeff Landry after he cancelled Louisiana’s 2026 U.S. House primary election…after the SCOTUS destroyed the Voting Rights Act allowing gerrymandering on an epic scale. Go Louisiana, GO!! 😎✨

The NAACP is now suing the state of Tennessee!!!!! I love to see it!!! KEEP FIGHTING!!!!!! ⚖️🖤✊🏾

Tennessee Republicans did it. The final vote is in. They just gutted the only Black-majority district to lock in more Republican power. Black voters shut out, representation erased. Call it what it is, a white supremacy power grab. And a shameful day for Tennessee, the birth place of the KKK.

Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social burns a confederate flag in the rotunda after the House passed 9-0 maps stripping Memphis of representation… #Memphis #JimCrow @MarshaBlackburn @GovBillLee

You can’t tell me that TN-09 Dem candidate Justin Pearson’s strong opposition to data centers weren’t a factor in this rush to redistrict in the midst of the election cycle to block taking the fight to congress. The impacts of this are devastating on many levels. www.wsmv.com/video/2026/0...

Crowd in Tennessee Capitol is singing "Which side are you?" and hollering at state troopers: "You don't have to do this! You can join us." Democrats are out and speaking to the crowd.

Tennessee, get organized! go.bsky.app/Fphy7bV

The Tennessee House has passed new congressional maps and adjourned. The crowd is roaring. Can't tell if someone pulled the fire alarm or we are hearing sirens. Chaos in the Capitol.

SHADY AF Tennessee Republicans are now trying to eliminate the requirement to notify voters when their polling place changes during this gerrymandering mess. Ask yourself one question: If everything is fair & legitimate, why would they need to make it HARDER for voters to know where to vote? 1/2

Sure looks like Republicans redrew the map in Tennessee to stop Memphis from sending Justin J. Pearson to Congress, who is/was poised to win the primary after fighting like hell against Elon Musk's methane-spewing data centre monstrosities in South Memphis. Craven, desperate and racist as hell.

Alabama Legislature is meeting on redistricting; we are under a tornado watch, and it’s flooding in the building. These metaphors are too on the nose.

Protesters are singing civil rights songs in the Tennessee Senate State and Local Government Committee.

New Orleans is the economic engine of the entire state. Louisiana cannot survive without it. For decades the Republicans have wanted full control over it. And now they’re about to have it.

People refuse to believe it and most who do believe it usually shrug it off but US prisons and jails are in fact torture chambers. Conditions are HORRIFIC across the board. People are OK with this on the whole.

horrible. this country’s turn away from science based medicine in the name of “wellness” is killing children and will kill a lot more. www.propublica.org/article/more...

I think about this comic all the time.

Mark Zuckerberg built a massive data center in Georgia just hundreds of yards from people’s homes. Now the water pressure is gone. Sinks don’t run. Toilets won’t refill. Homes shake nonstop. Power outages are routine.

Costa Rica passed a law in 2018 that required electric utilities to install fast chargers every 50 miles on national highways. Tax breaks have made Costa Rica a pioneer in electric vehicles. Costa Ricans are buying electric vehicles at 3 times the rate of Americans. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/03/b...

DeSantis also says datacenters are unpopular on both the left and the right. If you have followed this guy's career, this is something worth taking note of. He would not be coming out early like this if he didn't see a big political problem coming down the road.

I was forced to the back of the bus. This ain't theoretical for me. I lived this shit.

Texas nights should belong to Texans, not Big Tech. Data centers bring permanent daylight, drain water, and drive up power bills. People deserve dark skies, clean water, and land that stays in local hands.

Spend time with your elderly neighbors.

Do people not know that FDR interned 120,000 Japanese Americans????

Poor white people aren't only poor. They are many other things too and sometimes those other things take precedence re: their political decisions and actions.

“Voting is not the end all be all” ≠ “voting doesn’t matter” I’ve noticed that sometimes ppl see the former and interpret it as the latter.

The initiative was launched in the final hours of COP30, as fossil fuel-producing countries led by Saudi Arabia and Russia blocked binding commitments sought by more ambitious nations.

Norway: close to 100% EV share. Near-zero carbon grid. Heat pumps everywhere. Also Norway: still exporting 2 million barrels of oil a day & gas exports have more than doubled since 2000. This chart shows the contradiction. Newsletter dropping soon 👇 substack.com/@janrosenow

Saw this yesterday while driving home.👍

An important update: Texas courts created such an unprecedented situation in an emergency filing last night, no one knows who is in charge of InfoWars, and therefore no one can pay rent. Since no one controls these assets right now, it does appear InfoWars will shut down tonight at midnight.

In 4 years I have lost: - my right to an abortion - my ability to obtain financial aid to pay for a degree - my right to clean air and water - my right to safe food free of forever chemicals - my right to be represented in Congress as a taxpaying citizen through the VRA I hate this country.
