If we actually want to appreciate moms, we should be providing free childcare, healthcare, and guaranteed income for stay-at-home parents to put more money in families’ pockets and ensure no SAHP is reliant on a partner for their economic security. Idk I think that’s better than 15% off a vacuum.

I often say that the fight for democracy is the fight of our generation. But let me be clear, if you aren’t fighting for Black voting rights right now then you aren’t really fighting for democracy.

A city that doesn’t care for its children will fail. Our City’s child care providers do enormously important and difficult work. They deserve our utmost respect and appreciation. This week and every week, we must stand up and support them.

AOC on possibly running for the Senate or President: They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.

Friday: Release Epstein files Repost if you wants

Mother of 4 legally in US detained by ICE for 6 weeks. "When the door locks, you become small. You start to believe that you perhaps are not equal. That you are not human." Last week, Federal Judge ordered her release stating that she was held for "no discernible reason." #TrumpsImmigrationMess

John Roberts has been dismantling the country’s most important civil rights law for over 40 years.

SEN. AKBARI: “HISTORY IS WATCHING.” Sen. Akbari reminded Senate Republicans majority-Black Memphis is sacred civil rights movement ground — they voted to strip representation from the city and dilute it with white power anyway. @tnsenatedems.bsky.social Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DYFzyvL...

Some photos say everything. This one should disturb every American. 🇺🇸 #SheShed

Roberts $20 Million Bribery Scandal Justice Roberts failed to recuse from more than 500 cases argued at the Supreme Court by law firms that paid his household Millions. He wrote the Court’s ethics code, designing it to be unenforceable. Corrupt open.substack.com/pub/cmarmita...

Ras Baraka has filed his amended complaint against Alina Habba for false arrest. It makes clear how much of this was an attempt to humiliate a Black mayor. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

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

Katie Phang and Epstein survivor Danielle Bensky visit a new exhibition space in Tribeca where the Epstein files are bound in 3,237 physical volumes. “To see the person who scheduled me, who is still not behind bars—her name is here.”

Cartoonist: Paul Duginski

State attorneys general across the country can intervene to stop this antitrust nightmare. We need to keep up this fight.

Mainstream TV news has shifted from “inform the public” to “don’t offend power.” The worst part is the tone: everything is delivered like a calm weather report while the country is on fire. These past anchors understood that journalism is supposed to apply pressure. Not host a brunch panel.

"Looking back now, it’s clear that the desire to undo the Civil Rights Era — and even restore the Confederacy to a place of honor — never disappeared. It was sometimes set to the side and reshaped, but they kept the fire burning with unwavering attention."

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

Alito flew multiple flags tied to Jan 6 insurrectionists. Thomas just gave a speech on how "progressivism" is destroying the country — plus his wife was involved in the Jan 6 plot. And Roberts has pushed "shadow docket" cases where justices make decisions without explaining themselves. Please.

The golden age of corruption.

Remember: Wealth cannot be separated from power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people. Taxing the rich isn't just an economic issue, it's a defense of our democracy.

30 percent of Americans are against [squints at notes] the Pope urging peace

"MAHA" in a nutshell

🔥 Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social to William Lamberth: “I just wanted to look you in the eye and tell you you’ll be in the history books with George Wallace and Bull Connor, and your children will be ashamed of where you stand by presenting these racist maps.“

Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band are telling us something important #USDemocracy

And somehow we’re hearing more about this from 60 Minutes Australia than U.S. media. Ask yourself why.

The widening gap between the wealthy and working-class consumers is so bad, even the CEO of McDonald's is sounding the alarm bell. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8OWhw-GXUU

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." –Justice Louis Brandeis Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today. We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.

Just a reminder...

At our city-owned grocery stores, staples like eggs and bread will actually be affordable. And we're going to do it the right way, without cutting workers' pay or dignity. Because in the wealthiest city in this country, buying groceries shouldn't be an unsolvable equation.

Rep Lieu (D-CA) exposes the corruption of the First Family. While we pay more for everything Donald Trump and his family rake in billions of dollars because they’re crooks and we all know it. Come November we need to vote every MAGA Republican enabler out. Change is coming! LFG‼️

“Hundreds of residents have packed council meetings to voice their disapproval of the planned facility... One meeting saw over a thousand attendees... 'You lose every battle that you choose not to fight,' Mayes said. 'Today, the state of Arizona is choosing to fight.' azmirror.com/2026/04/24/a...

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America: 1. Break up corporate monopolies 2. Continue building union power 3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

Early education is important infrastructure! Such a joy to read to our kids with my sisters @aoc.bsky.social and @wutrain.bsky.social at Horizons for Homeless Children in Roxbury today.

Pope Leo turned the question around like the boss he is.

Woody Guthrie wrote "All You Fascists Bound to Lose" in 1944. He was right then. Bette Midler is making sure we remember it now. Midler just dropped a full music video remake of Guthrie's classic anti-fascist anthem, and it hits different in 2026.

The most important post of the day. We must find a way to allow former MAGA to find their way back to decency. Rich Logis @leavingmaga.org offers strategies for people who are looking for a way out. This book should be everywhere. Ask your local library to order a copy. #USDemocracy

“I’m sure you’re aware of our connections with the Trump Administration,” the North Carolina Republican Party's communications director wrote in an email response to us. “I would strongly suggest dropping this story.” We didn't. #ICYMI, read the story that he wanted dropped:

It looks like a ballot initiative to restore legal abortion in Idaho will happen! The group Idahoans United for Women and Families has reached its signature goals in 19 legislative districts, and counties have officially processed 95% of the 104,000 signatures gathered.

Yes, I was suspended for the "serious" violation of making a joke.

We're blowing up more boats. And we still haven't seen a single shred of evidence that any of these boats were carrying drugs.
