Mamdani: I cannot help but think of the words of our 40th president, Ronald Reagan. He famously said, “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are 'I'm from the govt & I'm here to help'" I think nine more terrifying words are actually, "I worked all day and can't feed my family"

Many of you are asking how you can help me. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket for free and share its content with everyone you know. Thanks. bit.ly/4a7l1TR

This would be Elon Musk, Killer of Children, right? I’d like to see him spend a hundred trillion dollars of his time behind bars for what he did at USAID but I’d happily settle for a short drop and a sharp stop at the end of a good strong rope.

Thousands are marching in Selma calling for a full restoration of the voting rights act.

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.

If Trump convinces SCOTUS he can serve a 3rd Term, then ANY FORMER PRESIDENT can serve a 3rd Term, so I will be among the millions of American Voters who Write in "Barack H. Obama". Be Careful What You Wish For MAGA. We Shall Overcome! We did it before! We'll do it again!

Thomas Stockett's Baltimore Afro-American cartoon on the Voting Rights Act, August 1965.

SOUTH CAROLINA — @repjamesclyburn.bsky.social: “Why is it when you have a 75% white district that’s not racial, but you have a 45% Black district that is racial? There’s no way the numbers bear this out… I never thought I’d see the day the Supreme Court would be so openly partisan.”

SCOTUS, which ordered Alabama to create a second Black opportunity district just 3 years ago, has lifted that order a week before the primary. The Purcell principle says courts shouldn't permit chaos too close to an election—it's now an open question whether there will even be a primary on schedule.

LET THIS SINK IN—the U.S. now has no confirmed CDC director, no FDA commissioner, no Surgeon General, an NIH director with no medical license, and the last Acting CDC Director was a George Bush speechwriter. In fact—the only doctor/scientist we have in the White House is… Dr Oz.

In 1980, in Mobile v Bolden, the Voting Rights Act was weakened, almost exactly as they just did. In 1982, Congress amended and reaffirmed the VRA to reestablish its protections. A young DOJ lawyer wrote a memo for Reagan opposing the move. John Roberts. This has been on his mind for a while.

Alina Habba went on The View yesterday & it did not go well for her HABBA: The DOJ brings real cases. We are not Jack Smith. We are not Letitia James. We bring real cases AUDIENCE: *laughs & groans* HOSTIN: You actually were sanctioned nearly $1 mil for filing a frivolous lawsuit against Comey

Perfect campaign ad for the upcoming Midterms. 👌

🚨HOLY SHIT: MAGA Congresswoman Jen Kiggans tried to COLLUDE with a radio station host to DELETE an interview where she agreed to tell Hakeem Jeffries to keep his “cotton-picking hands” off Virginia. Share this EVERYWHERE to to keep her racism from being buried. #JimCrowJen

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

Dear @NFL, please seriously consider revoking the Tennessee Titans team's right to play in the state. Millions of black people are losing their rights of the USA. Same with the New Orleans Saints need to move out of Lousiana for the same reason. Every southern state should lose their teams. ASAP

Justice for Louise Lucas.

It’s the way to go. Invest in solar energy.

Impeach. Convict. Remove.

If anyone would like to see a photo of a rather fearsome guard dog, this is your lucky day.

I left Twitter/X because of the torrents of abuse, including antisemitic abuse. I've been on a few Palestine solidarity marches and I didn't experience any abuse at all, even when carrying a sign that mentions I'm Jewish. Remind me where antisemitism is breeding.

I am a Poll Judge and I can attest to the fact that there is no #Voter fraud! Don't believe the propaganda nonsense!!!! #Iran #Epstein

“At age 19, after two failed attempts to reach the US via Honduras and Mexico, he succeeded. He received a work permit under the Temporary Protected Status program for refugees, worked as a janitor and at a UPS warehouse. He became a US citizen in 2006..." www.wvgazettemail.com/life/religio...

Stupid, ignorant...not usually words associated with the president.

It’s astounding that Zelensky survived a full-scale war without ever having a ballroom.

What's being held back on the Epstein list is the abuse of boys.

On April 29, 1945, the U.S. Army liberated the Dachau concentration camp, where over 30,000 prisoners who were tortured by the Nazis were found. After their arrival, a survivor in the camp reportedly whispered to a U.S. soldier, “Tell the world… tell the world.”

A different perspective. Always helpful.

He’s right, I didn’t know it was this many times.

Hegseth fired our Generals. And now is bringing Kid Rock to the Pentagon address our military??? These people are deeply unserious.

History is made by those who show up, and that is exactly what's happening in Santa Marta. There are 60 countries here, academics from all over the world, Indigenous people, civil society, all here to do one thing: figure out how to phase out fossil fuels. www.forbes.com/sites/we-don...

Am I understanding this correctly? The President, the Vice-President, the Speaker of the House AND the Secretary of Stare were all at the White House Correspondent's Dinner together and security was so laxed that a guy ran through security with a long gun? I call bullshit.

Ninth Grader Demi Johnson receives National Geographic award for plan to save Mississippi's oyster reef population. The ninth grader has produced 1,100 oysters that will in turn spawn millions of larvae into the ecosystem, a huge ecological impact

I wonder if it will dawn on any of the terrified WHCD attendees that this is how Ukrainians, Gaza residents and the Lebanese live every day, with little reprieve.

NO 👇 BULLSHIT DETECTED HERE, MR. PRESIDENT.......

Actual conversation I had: Person: I created a fun AI calendar with pictures of my family. Me: So you gave your image, your children's image, your name and identity to a private AI company, who now owns that forever. Person: No I didn't. Me: Yes you did. Person: They just own the AI image. Me: 🥲

If you were horrified watching elected leaders run & scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed. Now, become a part of the solution & only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.
