This gutless idiot bestowed RFK on us in hopes of saving his Senate seat and went down in flames anyway

In Louisiana, raising the mandatory judicial retirement age from 70 to 75 has failed by 50 points, if you want another data point for how voters feel about the gerontocracy problem.

Thoughts for people living in safe blue cities and states: Alabama is the birthplace of the Civil Rights Movement. People bled and died for our right to vote. #AllRoadsLeadToTheSouth 🧵

“They think they can draw us out of power. They do not know the sleeping giant that they just awakened.” - Rep. @aoc.bsky.social in Montgomery #AllRoadsLeadToTheSouth

Librarians literally saved my life

You're entitled to your own opinion. You're NOT entitled to your own facts. #BelieveTheScience What he said 💯 👇 👇 👇

TODAY: ALL ROADS LEAD TO THE SOUTH. Republican lawmakers across the South are carving up maps to dilute Black voting power and protect their own power because fair maps would threaten their grip. They knew the voters didn’t support this, so they went around them. 1/2

Spencer Pratt, SAVE LA? Dude is trying to save his own personal brand for a “Mayor” reality show he already agreed to film, even though he hasn’t won anything. This city is not a reality show.

Why are you blaming Xavier Becerra for the choices made by an independent PAC? Did Steyer pay you to do this? He's in no position to tell them who to accept donations from. And I'm sure they receive donations from other sources, so you can't draw a line from fossil fuel to the campaign.

This you, @colorado.gov?

A perfect contrast between Porter’s performative politics and Becerra’s calm and substantive response, displaying a firm command of his policy plans for California. We need and deserve true leadership over theatrics. Becerra gets my vote.

Oh. My. God. This is despicable.

No American should be comfortable with the President of the United States accusing a reporter of treason for critical reporting.

Personal story: My 30-something nephew voted Trump. He and I were super close. He told me he loved Joe Rogan, didn’t believe in vaccines & thought Trump would make things better. (We were basically estranged for 4+ years). I saw him recently, he pulled me aside and said “Auntie, I was an idiot.”

This a disgusting abomination. Republicans are going to make hard-working, law abiding taxpayers pay off the thugs and criminals who beat cops on J6 and were convicted of various other crimes. Vote every Republican out of office this Nov. abcnews.com/US/trump-poi...

President Obama: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz.”

We need to flip four senate seats this November to overcome the Fetterman problem.

Xi is going to take Trump's lunch money, gold chain, and his bike.

She heard “cotton picking hands” and said “ditto” #JimCrowJen

Dear @katieporterca.bsky.social

"Rarely, if ever, is anyone given a diplomatic posting directly following such a spectacular failure, especially one that did so much damage to American interests around the world." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

THERE’S A PATTERN Before Jen Kiggans was nodding along to “cotton-picking,” she was already trying to police how schools talk about racism. #JimCrowJen Anti-Black history panic👇🏽 As a state senator, Kiggans championed SB 570, a bill banning school’s honest discussion of race & racism in US history

House Oversight's Robert Garcia says Dems will release a new report May 12 that he says will detail, from bank records, how the sweetheart deal that Alex Acosta helped further enrich Jeffrey Epstein and expand the network of sexual abuse of adolescent girls. "This report is just the beginning."

The president’s mental health is a global crisis.

#BecerraEra This is so important to me and a huge factor as to why I voted for @XavierBecerra — Did you know he strongly supports the disability community? 📌 As AG of California he established and oversaw the state's first Bureau of Disability Rights within the Civil Rights Enforcement Section.

In any business he would be fired before his head hit the desk

It’s time. Meet in Selma. Saturday, May 16th. blackpowerwarroom.com/dayofaction/

Fashion tip of the day: To deal with clothes moths, fill your wardrobe with thousands of tiny spiders, the moth's natural predator. To deal with the spiders, fill your wardrobe with scorpions. To deal with the scorpions, fill your closet with RFK Jr. This way, you avoid harmful chemicals.

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.

There are some hard truths here, and every Democrat needs to watch this segment. African Americans are being targeted because we are the most consistent Democratic voting bloc. The GOP knows this. Every Democrat must start speaking with one voice about court reform. 🧵

He called on Hungarians to actively participate in the democratic process, to hold elected officials & government accountable. He blasted President Sulyok, sitting in full view, and demanded his resignation for remaining silent during the Orban regime's march towards autocracy.🔥

Today marks the end of an era roiled by corruption, nepotism, kleptocracy, and wasted opportunity. The beginning of a new dawn, filled with hope and promise of a just, harmonious, and prosperous future. Congratulations, Péter Magyar! Congratulations, Hungarians! 🙏🏼🇭🇺🕊️

I’m so proud of these folks ✊🏽 Alabama Dems have had enough of Republicans’ bullshit. They’re standing up against the attack on their political power. 🚨 Alabama state organizing manager Dee Reed escorted out of the Alabama House gallery Friday as lawmakers debated redistricting.

some wisdom from james wilson, framer. "The truth is that, in our governments, the supreme, absolute, and uncontrollable power remains in the people."

It's depressing to know that the best years of your life were likely in the 2010s and we'll all be looking back in a decade or two wondering how this country could be so stupid to throw it all away. We can't say they weren't warned because they were. Unfortunately, people only learn from disaster.

Beat them at the ballot box anyway.

30-40% fatality rate‼️ Just me, or does it feel like people downplaying the danger of the hantavirus are really missing the mark? A few days ago, we were told this was transmitted by rodents, and the Andes strain was rare and highly unlikely. We don’t know what the f*ck we are dealing with yet.

Michelle Obama warned everyone. Kamala Harris warned everyone. Hillary Clinton warned everyone.

My fucking people

ICYMI — After Republicans stripped majority-Black Memphis of representation, this was @brotherjones.bsky.social in the rotunda. Damn. (From NC5)

Viruses are terrifying, but the bigger nightmare? An anti-vax lunatic in charge of public health. RFK Jr is the most dangerous threat to us all.

Breaking: A physical library containing all 3.5 million pages of the publicly-released Epstein files—bound and printed in 3,437 volumes opens tomorrow in New York. You can get all the details here: trumpsonian.us Brilliant.

Breaking: Tennessee Republicans pass new 9-0 gerrymander after SCOTUS destruction of Voting Rights Act eliminating state’s only majority-Black district & last Democratic seat. Splits Memphis, which is 63% Black, into 3 districts to disenfranchise Black voters. Quite literally a return to Jim Crow

State supreme court justices play a critical role in defending your rights and freedoms, which is why the election happening in Georgia right now is so important. Make sure you have a plan to vote for Jen Jordan and Miracle Rankin.

So if the incubation period for hantavirus is 1-8 weeks, why isn’t everyone on that cruise ship being quarantined? Confirmed hantavirus cases on the cruise ship has risen to 5. “There are 23 people wandering around there, and until three days ago, no one had contacted them.” — Passenger

These people are exactly who they’ve told you they are:

The journalist who is being sued by Kash Patel and reportedly being investigated by the FBI is out with a new story. Is there a Pulitzer for being a fearless badass? If so, she should win it. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

In light of last night’s debate, I’m re-upping this post about a governor candidate who is polling embarrassingly high for a white nationalist in the majority-minority state of California. Do folks not realize how dangerous Chad Bianco is?
