Big Oil has raked in over $23B in windfall profits by jacking up gas prices during Trump's Iran War. Now ExxonMobil, Shell, and Chevron are doubling down on spending billions on stock buybacks — while you pay the price at the pump. Call it what it is: corporate greed.

Trump and Hegseth are asking for a record $1.5 trillion defense budget. Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government. Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits. The military industrial complex is cheering right now.

CMCSS School Board meeting tonight! 6pm at the Gracey Ave location

Yesterday, a new generation of civil rights activists marched from Selma to Montgomery to fight for voting rights. As states across the country try to make it harder for citizens to be heard, we need to learn the lessons of those who came before us and refuse to take our democracy for granted.

Mis- and dis-information are two of the most insidious tools used to undermine our democracy and the value of every person’s voice. Learn how to recognize them and stop them in their tracks. Tip sheet: www.lwv.org/blog/your-gu... @lwvus.bsky.social @lwvva.bsky.social

Pretty "sus" that the usually dysfunctional TN GOP got new maps created and rammed through in just three days. The Special Session was a hit job on democracy in TN and it has shown us what the GOP really cares about (hint: it's being able to get away with being racist!)

Americans are facing the highest jump in healthcare costs in 15 years, as millions struggle to cover increased costs. Meanwhile, the top six health insurers just reported $15.4 billion in first quarter earnings. Is it any wonder that 63% of Americans now support Medicare for All?

When the state is disenfranchising its Black voters, there's zero question why ROOTS was just banned in Knox County, Tennessee, schools. "Age-Appropriate" my ass. www.wbir.com/article/news...

Would live to see this in Tennessee! For solar and shade for the parked cars! It gets so hot in the summer ☀️

Do you know which congressional district you're in now? ME NEITHER!!! This chaos is INTENTIONAL and it is VOTER SUPPRESSION! Don't let them get away with disenfranchising Black voters in Memphis and everyone in the redistricted precincts. FLIP their gerrymandered map back at them. VOTE.THEM.OUT!

Watching a series of former Confederate states rush to eliminate any vestige of black representation in the House pretty much answers the question whether the Voting Rights Act was still necessary.

Please read our statement on the incident at the courthouse today

📣We are proud to announce that Independent Candidate for Montgomery County Sheriff, Dexter Mines, is officially endorsed by the Montgomery County Democratic Party.  Congratulations Dexter Mines! For more information on Dexter, please go to https://f.mtr.cool/kmovgfwszj

Not a good sign to get a mention in Heather Cox Richardson's newsletter. TLDR: the TN GOP supermajority in our legislature rewrote their own rules, pushed through unethical and illegal new maps, then removed the voices holding them accountable to voters in those redrawn districts. VOTE. THEM. OUT!

Zohran says NYC has erased a $12 billion budget deficit in part by taxing the rich

Seriously? Didn't Tennessee lose a total black district and change it into two or three diluted black districts? What would you call it? It's obvious racism and you, Tim, are glad to see it #USDemocracy www.mediaite.com/media/news/t...

LAWSUIT: “Three Memphis voters, through the American Civil Liberties Union, have filed a federal lawsuit against Tennessee leaders, claiming the state’s new congressional maps are discriminating against Black voters.” www.actionnews5.com/2026/05/12/m...

The GOP is *intentionally* sewing chaos in the middle of an election to flip a congressional district from Democrat to Republican. The @tndp.bsky.social has filed a lawsuit and we support them in this. The appropriate response is to vote in numbers too large to ignore and make their plan backfire!

Lookout photojournalist provided gavel-to-gavel coverage of last week's special session of the Tennessee Legislature, called by Gov. Bill Lee to redraw the state's congressional districts.

Residents in Fayette County, Georgia noticed their water pressure was unusually low. Turns out that a data center 20 miles away had been drawing 30 million gallons of water in secret through connections the county didn't know existed. Is it any wonder why so many are opposed to data centers?

Rep. @justinjpearson.bsky.social : “A political lynching… an era of retribution… what just happened in Tennessee was the largest and most swift disenfranchisement of Black people in a century.” #Memphis @GovBillLee @MarshaBlackburn

Ex congressman Jim Cooper chief of staff Lisa Quigley and data analyst david manasco👇🏽are both among those saying the new map stripping Memphis of representation actually has potentially put 4-5 TN districts within range… if Dems really turn out and vote. 👀

It’s going to be so delicious when the GOP gets their ass kicked in November anyway. Hey Republicans, after you’ve tried to prevent as many people from voting as possible AND rig the map in your favor, what’s the excuse going to be when you still lose?

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.

"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.

NAACP Tennessee President Gloria Sweet-Love filed an emergency petition to stop a new congressional map from going into effect in Davidson County Chancery Court. The lawsuit was filed less than three hours after Gov. Bill Lee signed the new map into law. From @cstephenson.bsky.social.

It took MONTHS to get a special session after the Covenant shooting, and nothing came out of it. LESS THAN A WEEK after the SCOTUS decision, and we have redistricted maps voted on and up on the Sec of State website. Republicans will move heaven and earth when they're taking power from Black voters.
