Thanks, MAGA. Now GFY.

I’m a broken record, but it’s facially insane that the SCOTUS’s position is that the interest of a political party—an entity with no special constitutional protection—in gerrymandering is more important than black people’s right to vote, which we have several constitutional amendments addressing

See how that works...

Someone planted bad seeds.

McSweeney's, you magnificent bastards, you've done it again.

You can't behave like partisan hacks and then be mad when people notice

🔴 EXCLUSIVE: Reform UK Refuses to Explain Why Nigel Farage Met and Posed with Man Criminally Convicted for Violent Attack on Anti-Racism Meeting at a Church Byline Times' new findings cast doubts on Farage's claim of refusing to associate with extreme elements – @josiahmortimer.bsky.social reports

Can't fix racist maps because the election is only a year away, but you can stop an election after voting starts to make the maps more racist. Good thing racism is over. 🤬

RIP VRA, 1968-2026. RIP all of the civil rights leaders who were murdered while fighting for the rights it secured. www.weekendreading.net/p/americas-s...

Today's demolition of Voting Rights Act by Roberts Court will likely trigger largest drop in Black representation since end of Reconstruction. They're taking America back to Jim Crow, when white supremacy and one party rule enshrined across South www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

We must understand the racist political rhetoric, the erasure and attacks on Black history, the reinstalling of Confederate names and monuments, all go hand-in-hand as the Court and Congress legitimize the taking of political rights and the end of multiracial democracy itself.

There are people still living who fought — and watched their compatriots be murdered — for the passage of this act and to attempt to democratize America. To see it completed felled in the span of their OWN lifetime is just absolutely devastating.

I say it again and again: Because we don’t learn the real history of this country, we do not understand what this country is capable of. After 1870, 22 Black men served in Congress. By 1901, because of racist SCOTUS rulings, electoral coups and election cheating and violence, there were none.

Deborah Keith: “it’s like inviting the arsonist to your house-warming party.”

It's all just overtly blatant. With their grifting there are NO COINCIDENCES.

Virginia could massively expand voting rights in 5 months, don't sleep on it.

Are the women back there somewhere? Yes, I think I see them.

Best ONN in months at least.

A reminder:

Israeli soldier photographed beheading a statue of Jesus with a hammer: IDF immediately posts multiple English-language condemnations and "we will investigate" "this is not who we are" etc Israeli soldiers videotaped throwing a tied up and blindfolded Palestinian prisoner off a roof: 🦗🦗🦗🦗

This seems likely to backfire, considering how unpopular Trump is.

Today's winner of the Internet. Congratulations!

"There is a way to speak to the...anti-Trump side of this, and do a lot of never-Trumper friendly messaging, but also tie it into kind of the populist economic case." @timmiller.bsky.social and @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social on a standout appearance by Jon Ossoff and messaging of 2028 Democrats.

I had the opportunity to confront Pete Hegseth's bigoted spiritual mentor, Pastor Doug Wilson, and call him out on his history of hate, his misreading of the Bible, his hijacking of Jesus, and his cosplay Crusading. It was worth it.

The post is 14 kinds of crazy but the part that sticks out is at the end where Trump says "no Judge can be allowed to stop" him. That's WAY past Orbán style competitive authoritarianism. That's banana republic dictator shit.

Something to consider... the original post was from February. That means the president either saved the photo and used it 2 months later. Or, he had to search for himself depicted as Jesus.

NEW—I got an exclusive excerpt from a USAID whistleblower's new book that made me gasp multiple times. It details Trump's dismantling of the humanitarian aid agency & his team/DOGE's shocking ignorance to public health. 'Into the Wood Chipper' by Nicholas Enrich is out tomorrow. Read excerpt here:

tbf "it's a shame the Pope has made the catholic church political" is a thing people been saying for 1800 years

Elon's a mess blaming Soros for Orban losing. So it's ok for you as a billionaire to buy elections but not anybody else?

I am asking Christians — Protestant, Catholic, doesn’t matter — to say out loud what you know to be true in your hearts. For the simple, irreducible truth that Jesus Christ is not a meme. His image is not a political tool. His name is not a brand. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

The disconnect isn't that people are unaware Trump acts like Trump. It's the gap between seeing it as his tongue-in-cheek persona shtick vs. the full unhinged crazypants of his Truth feed, which mostly disappears without being directly shown to normies by either mainstream or right-wing media.

Claw back all the stolen money. If he broke the law, lock him up or he'll be back while they're still busy trying to fix the problems he made. Learn from our mistakes.

Attention Virginia! 🚨 MAGA Republicans know they will get pummeled for their destructive policies against Americans, so now they are trying to rig the midterms by redrawing your congressional maps. I know #VirginialsForVotingYes and fighting back against the MAGA crooks!

Spot on.

Apparently we're at the point where the Pentagon is threatening THE POPE?? For the first time ever, the Pentagon summoned the Vatican's US rep to a meeting. The Vatican was warned the US military can do whatever it wants in the world and the Vatican "had better take its side."

Melania Trump wants these photos and emails to be scrubbed from the Internet. Please stop liking and sharing them. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Greatest. Correction. Ever.

"The prosperity gospel is a heretical perversion of Christianity; Christian nationalism is its logical outgrowth. Christian nationalism takes the ideas of prosperity gospel and applies them at scale."

Melania Trump is claiming she had no relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell. LEFT: Oct 2002 email from Melania to Ghislaine congratulating her on a pic of Jeffrey & Ghislaine appearing in New York Magazine. She signed it “Love, Melania.” RIGHT: Photo of Epstein & Maxwell in NY Magazine in Oct 2002.

I am so angry. Two Durham, NC kids - 11-year-old Genesis and 6-year-old Denis of Burton Elementary Magnet School - were taken by ICE at their regular asylum case appointment, and immediately deported without due process. Follow SiembraNC on IG or FB or @siembranc.bsky.social for next action steps.
