What has me worried — what we all need to focus on — is that something important in our democracy broke last week, and we are only beginning to see the fallout. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

Israel Spent $600 Million pushing Anti-Palestinian and Anti-Muslim hate. Lamine Yamal Tore It Down in 5 Minutes With a Palestinian Flag. 🇵🇸👏🇵🇸👏🇵🇸👏🇵🇸👏🇵🇸

Every horrible thing that MAGA accused Kamala Harris of wanting to do if she had become President has now been done by the orange felon times 1,000 including getting the United States into a forever war with Iran. I’ll never regret voting for her.

They keep moving the goal posts... Imagine being under 100s of years of brutal slavery... and then free with NOTHING... then Jim Crow, lynching, rape etc... 1965 people... this is when the playing field gave the players a CHANCE.. THAT'S IT, A CHANCE PAY THE FAMILIES OUT AND BE DONE USA

www.newsweek.com/epstein-esta... So disgusting

True, but just TRY to get something like this past the GOP.

PabloReports: Ted Cruz called you a parasite and disparaged your work as a bartender. AOC: I think it’s funny that he’s been taking a government paycheck for 23 years but has the audacity to criticize someone who has come from a family that had to work their way up and earn their place here.

Saying it louder for those in the back: "The United States was not founded, in any sense, on Christian principles. It's simply not true." More people would know this if they were taught history without restrictions. History doesn’t fit your narrative. #Pinks @timothysnyder.bsky.social

The first honest thing he’s said

Dementia Donny strikes again

Disgusting Just another racist upset about the south having any Black representation HISTORY PROVES THEY DON'T WIN IN THE END

💯💯💯

“Every time Black communities get close to political power, we see this shift… We see states across the South reminding the country exactly why those protections exist in the first place.” www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

You’ve probably had your limit at this point, please read this explanation of what happened yesterday and share it widely. It’s more important than ever to make sure people understand why we have to vote for democracy and we have to get started now if we want to be able to vote.

Trump is coming for Black voices in Congress. Tennessee's District 9 is the LAST line of defense—the only Democratic & Black-majority seat in the state. Don't sleep on this. Watch @justinjpearson.bsky.social deliver a #CupOfJoe worth guzzling! #SaveDistrict9

I cannot emphasize this enough: everything we are seeing right now with voting rights, and especially the racist gerrymandering we’re seeing in the South, makes complete sense if you remember it was all in Project 2025. This was part of the plan. It’s white supremacy and too many ignored it.

"An ICE takedown caught on camera left a 19-year-old bleeding and requiring stitches to his head. Cellphone video showed the teen get tackled by agents. Once they figured out they had made a mistake, they dropped him off at a park, bloody and bruised..." www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/d...

Kara Swisher shaming a room full of Nordic journalists for still using X: "l am bigger than all of you combined"

MacFarlane: There’s a sense that these court rulings—which have tried to disenfranchise or dilute the power of Black voters—will backfire. That a wave already forming on behalf of Democrats is going to grow stronger and fiercer because of the court rulings.

www.politico.com/news/magazin... The racists have no idea what kind of beehive they shook... You will see a BIPOC turnout like they've never seen You will not win and WE have many White allies on our side, married in our families and as friends #FAFO

The lawlessness continues... DEMs need to get it together

Watch the pattern, not the headlines. The next six months could bring distraction campaigns, fear narratives, media spectacles, investigations, and procedural warfare. None of this will be random. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

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. 🧵

WATCH — @realdlhughley.bsky.social : “I don’t understand why a 4/5 star athlete would go to a school where the state is ushering in a new iteration of Jim Crow… if you can’t run in a state, don’t run in a state.” #Memphis #Louisiana #Tennessee #Alabama @GovBillLee @MarshaBlackburn

An ICE goon pulled a gun on a New York teenager and beats him. However, they realized they had the wrong person and abandoned him injured far from home.

Toyota's robotic chair is paving the way for enhanced mobility solutions, addressing the needs of our aging society. Innovation for a better quality of life is here.

In 1841 Mary Richardson married John Jones of North Carolina. They carried free papers when they settled in Chicago & Mr. Jones established a successful tailoring business. Active in abolitionist politics & voting rights campaigns, they hosted & dressed John Brown & crew en route to Harper’s Ferry.

Because of course he did. newrepublic.com/post/210174/...

And where is the outrage from mainstream media outlets over this? Crickets. 🦗
