Please enjoy my cartoon for Thursday's Toronto Star

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.

Ari Berman for Mother Jones: Roberts has been trying to kill the Voting Rights Act for more than 40 years, and it looks like he’s finally succeeded. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Oh yeah

In Donald Trump, Dixie got the president it’s long been waiting for He has championed the confederacy-protecting statues, renaming military bases after their generals, praising Robert E Lee And now-through racist redistricting-the descendants of these traitors are making sure the South rise again

“I want a man with enormous testicles” said no woman ever.

If it’s unconstitutional to intentionally draw a majority Black district, then why isn’t it unconstitutional to intentionally draw a majority white district?

If you’re not outraged you’re not paying attention

We never lack the funds, just the will to spend them on our own people.

In the last 6 months, Amazon laid off 30,000 employees. But Jeff Bezos was able to find an extra $10 MILLION to sponsor the Met Gala. Funny how the employees who make him rich are disposable, but flaunting wealth at fancy parties is a priority.

Trump & Hegseth want $200 BILLION for war with Iran while tens of thousands of Americans die every year because they can’t afford a doctor. Choose a side: bombs or beds, missiles or medicine. #HealthcareNotWarfare #USDemocracy

Wow. "The research on what actually determines success in civil resistance makes a stark point: 83 percent of successful anti-authoritarian campaigns win when they have strong participation of labor — without labor, the percentage that wins plummets to 29 percent."

Moneywise: Three Vietnam War vets & an architectural historian sued Trump. They argue his plans to build a "triumphal arch" near Arlington National Cemetery's main entrance lacks congressional approval, violates federal law & would be disrespectful of those buried there. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

And that's just based on the unredacted documents they've released. There are probably even more.

The six Republican 'justices' on the 'Supreme' Court are cowards, fascists, and tools of a wannabe authoritarian.

Let’s all post it and see if they indict all of us.

The Washington Post using the picture from the photographer they laid off.

So Trump canceled all Green energy projects including paying $1Billion to cancel a contract wind power Mean time China moved into #1 car maker in world with their BYD car. Trump has put US automakers in the catch up position behind by years in technology. Shows what fossil fuel money can buy

Remember how less than three weeks ago the president threatened to kill an entire civilization

No ballroom for trump, give him some thoughts and prayers and a bulletproof backpack. That's what schoolchildren get.

Waiting to see if anyone in the mainstream media reports on this. Not holding my breath

The logical conclusion.

THIS!!!

Number of people who go bankrupt every year because of medical bills or illness-related work loss: 🇦🇺 0 🇨🇦 0 🇩🇰 0 🇫🇮 0 🇫🇷 0 🇩🇪 0 🇮🇸 0 🇮🇪 0 🇮🇹 0 🇯🇵 0 🇳🇱 0 🇳🇴 0 🇵🇹 0 🇪🇸 0 🇸🇪 0 🇬🇧 0 🇺🇸 530,000 There’s a lesson there.

By 8:15am today solar was generating 70% more than our baseload usage. On a cloudy day, in England, in April!

It seems to me that any government official who sues for defamation should be required to pay attorneys' fees x 3 plus costs if they drop the case, and x 5 if they lose.

In a nutshell. 😊

SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “The faithless president depicts himself as Christ while he plunges the nation into wars of choice… Remember — While you pay more for everything, the First Family’s wealth is growing by billions. Because they’re crooks, and everybody knows it.”

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations: Alphabet: 8.01% AT&T: 4.6% Meta: 3.57% General Motors: 3.09% Amazon: 1.37% Exxon Mobil: 1.31% Disney: -1.57% CVS Health: -3.88% Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5% This is what a rigged system looks like.

Congrats on “opening” a strait that was open six weeks ago, and all it cost was at least 13 dead service members, thousands of dead Iranian civilians, tens of billions in taxpayer dollars, our loss in global standing, and the Iranian regime’s increase in power. Phenomenal work.

Dear Media: Blindly quoting the President without fact-checking or context is just misinformation with a press pass. We don’t need stenographers; we need journalists. Do your job.

The folks @reproductivefreedomforall.org have endorsed Jen Jordan and Miracle Rankin in their efforts to defeat conservative incumbents on the Georgia State Supreme Court next month. Winning here is crucial for reproductive rights in GA long-term. reproductivefreedomforall.org/news/reprodu...

We are literally at the point in history where the Pope is battling the Antichrist. 🍿

We should be learning from other countries...

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces. Equals 10 nuclear reactors Reduces heat island, shades cars The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight. Why aren't we doing this?

Did he say “death”???

In a first last month, renewables supplied more power to the U.S. than natural gas, a milestone in the shift to clean energy.

Exactly 💯

“Hollywood, believe it or not, is a blue-collar town...“It’s thousands and thousands of Grips and Gaffers. Drivers and Decorators. Builders and Boom operators. Camera teams and Caterers... And they’re all about to get f*cked” Damon Lindelof Reveals Reason He Signed Anti-Paramount-WBD Merger Missive

Any government that isn't right now accelerating plans to transition to 100% clean, renewable energy is either: a. Incompetent b. In the pockets of people who'd rather they didn't c. a & b

So glad to see someone so beautifully articulate what I think about almost every day….

BOOM! South Australia's power prices have plummeted as they near 100% renewables, proving to the world that relying on wind and solar with battery back-up is possible, more reliable and costs people less. THIS is how we avoid the next oil crisis. #EnergyRevolution

Amazon reportedly failed to create any new jobs at its HQ2 in Virginia last year, despite millions of state tax incentives. The company has cut 30,000 jobs since last October — while saving $4 billion in taxes under Trump's Big Ugly Bill. Trickle-down economics is a hoax.
