"the voters will have their say in the election" is an uninspiring and demoralizing response to a court overturning the result of an election

This.

Exactly this. Supreme Courts don’t get the final word on legislation any more.

I’m wondering if Virginia Democrats could file a Purcell-type suit in federal court, arguing that the VA Supreme Court acted too close to the election.

We cannot continue to have a situation where states led by one party are bound by the law and states led by another party are not.

By 4 p.m., the NAACP filed in Davidson County Chancery Court for an emergency injuction against the maps. A link to the full filing has been added to our story.

This government is EVIL. GARBAGE. all they do is protect their friends and punish anyone they fear or disfavor. There has got to be a be a way to stop this Neverending crime spree? Maybe @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social has a poem?

This is a good time to remind people that the US has some of the highest covid mortality rates in the world. The “best they can” got millions killed and many more disabled. They’ve gutted the CDC. Put an anti-vaxxer in charge of HHS. Stoked eugenicist rhetoric. Hope is not a strategy.

This fascist pig needs to be named. He needs to his whole life ruined. He's a pig. fuck him.

I mght support charges of inducing somnolence (or being a shill for donors who keep him in office) due to his lazy, lackluster, pathetic *leadership* but everything Trump is trying to cook up is pure racism and hatred of black representation.

I finally got around to trying E. Z's garter stitch booties! I'm doing a test knit on bulky wool which I'll rip out so I can knit another pair in softer yarn. I just wanted to try to knit one of these to see how it works. It's so cool! Origami knitting paterns! #knitting #ElizabethZimmermann

Today, we published 61 transcripts and excerpts of testimony heard by the Fulton County special purpose grand jury. The transcripts include the never-before-seen testimony of prominent Trump allies, including Rudy Giuliani, Lindsey Graham, and Cleta Mitchell. bsky.app/profile/anna...

Again this should inspire wall-to-wall media coverage for months. The crowning achievement of the Civil Rights Movement is dead. Black people just lost all of their remaining political power in the South. This is a monumental moment in American history that simply isn't being treated as such.

I wish upon these evil people only suffering, misery, pain and grief. I want them to suffer for every moment of the rest of their lives. That's what they deserve.

I like this response to the should he be impeached question. It's the right thing to do; we as a nation deserve to put that punctuation on his obscene rule. Without it we've said: yeah whatever, let's move on. He's a f'cking monster. He shld be impeached. We the people, the nation deserve it.

We need a 24/7 rolling video of this content. Every day. All day. Just people asking kids what they think of Trump until the adults who support him can no longer show their faces in public ever again. Put it on the screens in Times Square. Put it everywhere. Humiliate them with the truth.

John Roberts would land firmly on the: Women were gifted this right bs. That's the key to men like him, in my opinion. It's as simple as that. How he thinks? The tone- deaf STUPID SHIT he says all the time sounds exactly like: women were gifted this right by men.

One neat trick is you can tell yourself you’re only doing law and never politics when you believe the Republican Party’s policy preferences are coextensive with the constitution’s commands, and the Democratic Party’s policy preferences are definitionally unconstitutional

John Roberts is the one whose wife rakes in millions as a legal recruiter-placing attorneys at law firms that regularly argue cases before the Supreme Court-which he ridiculously asserts is somehow not a conflict of interest And he ALSO authors opinions which upend the rule of law

Given the decisions they've been making recently I have to wonder if he's mentally incompetent or such a pathetic, useless, lying little fascist that he should be tried and sent to prison for ruling from his perch as a sneaky operative for the RW agenda. It's one or the other.

"To paraphrase Nathan Hale, I only regret that we have but one seat to take from the Democrats." This is what Democrats are facing. Any Dem who favors bipartisanship over maximalist opposition is either lost and worthy of replacement or a Republican sympathizer.

Knitted another little piece for my grand baby! He's not even due until August but I've knitted a full three years worth of tiny baby garments already! I knitted a larger one of these last month and decided to knit another one that would fit sooner! #Knitting #BabyKnits

Just hours before the 2026 #MetGala, hundreds gathered in the Meatpacking District to watch people walk down a different red carpet in custom couture. The "Ball Without Billionaires" - a runway show co-hosted by fashion stylist Gabriella Karefa-Johnson and 'Abbott Elementary' actress Lisa Ann Walter

Secret Service shot a kid today

They're going to give the thugs a slush fund to have fun being brutal pigs and terrorizing people going about their lives and minding their own business.

We are willingly being ruled by a group of 6 unelected FASCISTS. They now fully know that can DO WHATEVER THEY WANT and get away with it. Have a circuit declare women and black people ineligible to vote and SEE WHAT HAPPENS. if you're even a little anxious about how that would go then I'm right.

I added a video discussion of this piece at the beginning for those with different abilities. Hope it helps get the word out about the steps Michael Wolff took to catch and kill evidence that could have put Epstein in jail much sooner! #EpsteinFiles @thedailybeast.bsky.social

Re-upping my newsletter from 2 months ago because it’s still a good idea. As the midterms approach, make Stephen Miller the poster child for Republican awfulness.

Getting a Rudy just feels so cheap. Like whatever, who cares. We know what we really really want.

Cornell pres Kotlikoff ran over the foot of a student protestor, left scene. Student is afraid to press charges because he is in charge of Cornell Police, but it is on video, matches student claims Alums who were not yet disgusted this has to be it. No more $ www.cornellsun.com/article/2026...

whole states have stopped their election processes faster than the Biden administration was able to respond to an opinion that had already been leaked months earlier. i don't mean this as a random jab; republicans just understand power in a way that dems do not.

My Daughter gave me a gift certificate to Kiehl's a few months ago. I was supposed to get a big discount for signing up. I signed up. I got 75 texts. Lost the discount (huh?)Waited for a sale. Bought the cream I wanted today and MORE TEXTS help I'm gonna hurt someone lol!

Huh and here I was thinking that nationwide injunctions were verboten. These fascists are strangling democracy while the @democrats.org go to fancy parties and complain about 'the groups." You fckers better wake up or get out. It's either or. @schumer.senate.gov COWARDS! WAKE UP.

Useless. Pathetic. Cowardly. @whitehouse.senate.gov @coons.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov GET OUT OF OUR WAY.

The statutes are very clear Landry does not have the authority to do this. Not just that the law is only intended to be used for things like hurricanes or terrorist attacks, its terms are explicitly defined in such a way that it only applies in such genuine "disaster" circumstances.

JUST IN: Lawsuit filed last night in federal court in Baton Rouge seeks to reverse Gov. Jeff Landry's order suspending Congressional primary elections in Louisiana. Doc: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

After the insurrection, Cori Bush was the first member of Congress to suggest expelling members of Congress who supported Trump's coup attempt. AIPAC spent millions to throw her from Congress, and the leaders of the Democratic Party didn't stop them. She was absolutely correct. The coup continues.

David Morens' name should be trending. A 78-year-old doctor who worked in the NIH and has no criminal record was abducted from his home by armed federal agents and *stripped* before being transported away--all because the DOJ now works to validate right-wing conspiracy theories like the lab leak.

Nearly the entire party of the @democrats.org is so corrupt and broken that they might as well just switch their party affiliations. What TF is wrong with these LOSERS?

I sincerely cannot say what I think should befall the twisted six. But it's not pretty. They've enabled the absolute worst case where republicans can literally say: lol fuck you, WE WIN! And there's not much anyone can do about it. Burn them down. Burn it all down. Fuck this BULLSHIT.

Step one is removing Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer. If we manage to win the House and Senate there is nothing worth celebrating if THOSE two useless, pathetic cowards remain as our so-called leaders. David is right and starting the battle with our hands tied is going to get us nothing.

Given the argument that ended the VRA, I think it’s time liberals did some self reflection about the now decades long obsession with partisan polarization as the problem, as opposed to authoritarianism, extremism, oligarchy, and racism

They don't even pretend this is genuine "law" anymore. The new VRA rule as of today, despite Congress passing 52 USC §10301 to remove "intent" from the analysis, is: a state may dilute minority votes if it has a partisan pretext for doing so, and under Rucho the Court can't evaluate that pretext.

If Democrats regain full power in 2028, there's no way around expanding the Supreme Court—everything depends on it. Overturning this ruling & banning gerrymandering are the bare minimum, but there's only one permanent solution: Adopting proportional representation to make gerrymanders impossible

This is correct. There is no future of democratic self government in the US with an unreformed Supreme Court. The Court is riddled with corruption and abuses of power and rooting out that corruption is a sine qua non of civic democracy in the United States.

Omg. I mean F'CKING SERIOUSLY?

This one is for Dana Bash (and for the great Jamie Raskin in a different way), because in the middle of a berserker rampage by the right, those of us on the liberal-to-left spectrum are supposed to stop it through seraphic politeness, according to the lost souls in the middle of the road.

#EndictTrump you DOJ pussies.

I literally quit watching @cnn.com over their coverage of the Afghanistan withdrawl. I nearly gave myself a stroke watching how insidious and odious their coverage was. How long ago was that? You can do it too. #TurnOffCNN and don't EVER tune in again. If they wanna go fasc. Let'em go it ALONE.
