Tennessee NAACP goes to court to stop "late-decade Congressional redistricting," and the law sure looks to be on their side.

HAPPENING NOW… marching on the Capitol…. #NewJimCrow @GovBillLee

Gross

The threat itself is an impeachable offense. Don’t let it slide.

14th Amendment (1868): “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.” Seems pretty clear to me.

So when he bragged about grabbing women by the pussy, you were cool with that? When he made fun of a handicapped reporter, you were cool with that? When he had a mob attack the capital to steal the election, you were cool with that? But now gas is expensive so you regret your vote? Yeah?

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

We did not properly punish the confederates. We did not properly punish the insurrectionists on January 6th. We have to punish ICE. They can’t be allowed to slink back into their communities quietly. Expose them. Arrest them. Convict them. Imprison them.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

This is a MUST-READ affidavit. This eyewitness to Alex Pretti’s murder — who is too scared to even go home because she doesn’t trust federal agents — directly refutes what the feds are saying happened today:

Can we adopt PM Carney? Asking for 77 million people...

#FuckICE for those looking this national map of ice rapid response numbers by area (I.e. if you witness a raid who to call to get local groups involved) icerr.com. Thanks to the person that shared this with me.

If you ever wondered what GOP gerrymandering looks like in red states with blue cities, I present:

50 years ago today, the world was introduced to @lyndacarter.bsky.social as the perennial Wonder Woman. A lot of has changed over the years but our need for the heroes of truth & justice has only grown stronger.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

HOW TO ORGANIZE YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD FOR THE END OF SNAP This is important. This came to me overnight through a group organizing in the PNW. Please consider adopting these strategies where you live. YOU WILL SAVE LIVES. SNAP runs out 11-1. Start a block/neighborhood channel on Signal and get to work.

The level of community organizing that's happening right now is WILD. Get involved.

Some good news. And we need it. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/h...

As TN State Rep Justin Jones reminds us, our elders and ancestors in the fight for equality were fighting for us. Now, it is our job to fight for the next generation and the generations to come after that. Join the fight in your community.

Linda McMahon, Secretary of Education, sent Harvard a letter. They graded it. Bwahahaha.

CHICAGO…

This Lent, don’t give up shit. Take whatever joy you can from whatever you can.

Every day that America isn't marching in the streets and rioting and striking and tearing this regime down is another day I think, "well, I guess you're getting what you want then."

Chicago! Come by the Native Thursday 4/10 from 7- midnight for some rad women and queer-centric all vinyl tunes! #womeninvinyl #chicagoDJs #chicago

This weekend marks the 60th anniversary of the Selma March, a landmark event in the American civil rights movement. Martin Luther King, Jr. led thousands on a march that reached Montgomery on March 25.

Okay, this is my newest very very favorite meme.

Protest songs have been part of American history for centuries —However, the history of protest music is often associated with men, despite women having played a key role in this American tradition.

This is a legit point I think about at least once a day now.

My relationship with Big wasn’t the only thing I blew up that day. At the Trinity test site I detonated the first plutonium bomb, unleashing a 22 kiloton blast. Had I become Death, destroyer of worlds? Meanwhile uptown, Samantha had her hands full with her own “Manhattan project”

If Cyndi Lauper and Kate Bush did a duet... would the universe heal itself?
