The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Because of course he did. newrepublic.com/post/210174/...

"A democracy without Black representation is not a democracy."

There is no clearer case for the necessity of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 than how quickly southern states moved to eliminate Black-majority districts and dilute Black power after SCOTUS eroded Section 2. SCOTUS’s reasoning was immediately disproven by reality.

Total shocker. Alito’s argument for why black people don’t need voting rights protections is based on fraudulent statistics.

Louisiana v. Callais will “probably go down in the history book as one of three of the worst Supreme Court decisions in the history of this nation,” said NAACP President and CEO Derrick Johnson. From @jonshorman.bsky.social.

Exactly

The president wants to make it harder for millions of Americans to vote. We won’t let him. NO on the SAVE America Act.

Your country is so completely fucked.

Oh, hon, that absolutely is you. You get what get and you don't get upset. Be a better person next time.

The President of the United States is a danger to the United States. And Congress and SCOTUS are complicit. 🇺🇸

"72% of the white population is put into one district. 75% of the Black population is carved into two,” Sen. Jeff Yarbro of Nashville said. “We are being asked to believe that it’s just the luck of the draw, just happenstance.” Within hours of a new congressional map passing, the NAACP filed suit.

I’ve heard a number of democratic representatives indicate they understand that new safeguards must be put in place.

And the Supreme Court cries foul..fuck them all

It’s staggering How swiftly states in the South can still move to stymie Black voters And how ready they were to do so

If only they would actually apply the law to all, without regard to numbers, wealth, or rank. But alas, they do not and likely never will.

If Trump is personally involved, it's guaranteed to be a total shit show and he's getting some kind of kick-back.

“Do you support this kind of demonstration?” @justinjpearson.bsky.social : “Absolutely! What the hell else are we gonna do?” (From @MemphisForAll)

"It’s too bad that decent Indiana Republicans who stood up to Trump have to suffer in the process. But that’s the choice of the Republican primary electorate, and the only solution for now is an even bigger Republican defeat in November." lnk.thebulwark.com/3OP4zjj

New in PN: The Confederacy rises again "But this is more than a tragedy for voting rights. It’s a kind of revival of the Confederacy, in a way that few liberals thought was possible. The Lost Cause doesn’t seem so lost anymore."

How many Americans died in #Iran??? The Media is failing the People of the United States! #Iran #Epstein

I wonder if they'll bring up the fact that during his latest testimony, Hegseth agreed that troops must disobey unlawful orders.

I wonder if Axios realizes they’re being used to manipulate the markets multiple times a week

Antifa isn’t a group you turnip, it’s a mindset.. and with any luck a movement, but the one thing it does not have is an address.

Matching hoods should go over the Supreme Court and Congress too. The FBI building, State Department, IRS, Treasury, …

I guess that's what they meant by calling it "the land of opportunity"...

America can learn from Iran.

Nothing says ‘fitness role model’ quite like a demented, perverted grandpa catching a nap while promoting exercise for kids.

The supreme court betrayed Black voters, they betrayed America, and they betrayed our democracy.” - Barack Obama

He shouldn't be around children for a bunch of other reasons either...

One of the biggest lies Americans believe is their vote doesn't matter because if that was really true they wouldn't be trying to stop you from doing it

Every American should be fighting MAD about this! Call your Senators and Congressmen!!

It's only 5 in Canada. Y'all got some more work to do.

We have truly gone back in time to the McCarthy era. This is such an obvious retaliation against Louise Lucas for her important leadership during Virginia’s redistricting fight. Punish your political enemies, smear dissent, weaponize government power.

More like an insane asylum run by the patients.

In light of last night’s debate, I’m re-upping this post about a governor candidate who is polling embarrassingly high for a white nationalist in the majority-minority state of California. Do folks not realize how dangerous Chad Bianco is?

NEWS: The Epstein files are now bound into 3,437 physical volumes in a new exhibition space in Tribeca. Millions of pages. Two stories tall. And yet only two people have ever faced accountability. Katie Phang discusses the rage she felt walking through the space.

This does not appear to be someone concerned about the price of gas and groceries.

Can’t believe the GOP is redistricting the entire country just to prevent the release of the Epstein files. Tennessee has released their new redistricting map.

All of you who refused to vote for Kamala Harris "because Palestine!" -- this gutting of the voting rights act is on you. You selfish, entitled, spoiled White social justice cosplayers.

Don't forget: my old Yale Law classmate Clarence Thomas refused to recuse from Jan. 6 cases despite his wife's involvement in the plot. And he's taken at least 100 gifts worth over $2 million while serving, including from GOP donor Harlan Crow. He's a disgrace to the Court.

People are already peddling ivermectin for Hantavirus. The same people had never heard of Hantavirus 3 days ago. We live in the dumbest possible timeline.

Codifying Roe, passing the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, and holding members of this administration criminally accountable are important goals, but none of it sticks without Supreme Court reform.

This was entirely predictable. In fact, many people did predict this...
