Playwright Aleshea Harris stunned off-Broadway audiences eight years ago with her revenge play "Is God Is." Now she stuns again with her vivid, violent and startling screen adaptation, in theaters Friday.

“I have to be able to vote to get my rights back,” says Matthew Neumann, a trans man who directs the LGBTQ Foundation of Kansas. “Even if I have to get something that misgenders me so I can legally vote them out, I’m going to have to do that now.”

Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry (R) defended his decision to suspend his state’s ongoing primary election to redraw the congressional maps, even after 45,000 ballots had already been cast, saying that discarding those votes was “not a big” deal. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Seriously 🙄

This is absolutely outrageous. SCOTUS reinstated Texas gerrymander 15 weeks before primary because they claimed it was too close to election to block it but now allowing Alabama to gerrymander one week before primary after trial court found map was intentionally discriminatory against Black voters

Why did Trump pardon drug trafficker and Honduran president Juan Hernández? According to leaked audio tapes, it was an initial payment in part of a agreement between Trump, Bibi, and others to take down Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum. english.elpais.com/internationa...

NEW: John Roberts likes being political. He just doesn't like the accountability that comes with it. Roberts complained Wednesday that people view the justices as "political actors." They are, though, issuing political decisions that have real-world consequences. Today, at Law Dork:

Worst field trip ever

1. ICE has not paid for detainee medical care for 7 MONTHS The termination of payments to providers has coincided with a MASSIVE SPIKE in detainee deaths. This is a health crisis and a moral crisis. Follow along for details. 🧵

You can order pills from overseas clinics and mutual aid groups. *Possessing* mifepristone is not a crime (except in Louisiana). I'm not saying I have some but I am saying if you are someone who can get pregnant or knows people who can, order some now. www.plancpills.org

My most un-woke take is that children (anyone under 18) should be sat down in front of a monitored TV and forced to watch every episode of School House Rock, Sesame Street, Mr. Roger's, Bill Nye, and educational shows like us Millennials did. With tests after. You failed one? TIME TO WATCH AGAIN.

The edits CBS made here are severe, and depict a man who is much more petulant and incoherent than the broadcast would suggest. trib.al/xaPuJZc

BREAKING 🚨 🚨 🚨 Newly obtained documents show a clear paper trail of Trump administration officials planning to share sensitive voter data with an outside political group trying to overturn elections, as part of a secret agreement. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Hold on. We the taxpayers are going to pay companies $900 million, which is more than 6x what we spend on wind power R&D, to NOT build wind power at a time when electricity prices are spiking and we need more clean power?

AOC is correct.

I wish they cared this much about shootings when it happens to children at school.

Time to share this again.

Jen Psaki discovered an invitation sent to Jeffrey Epstein to attend a Valentine’s Day party hosted by Dr. Oz, even after Epstein was convicted of sexual assault involving underage girls. It’s becoming clear that the network of pedophiles around Trump may be deeper than previously thought.

They paused Oversight Committee hearings the minute we started getting answers about the Epstein files. Now it’s “roundtables”: no rules, no oaths, no subpoenas. You do the math. Because the moment accountability shows up, they shut it down. The survivors deserve better.

Dear Americans, You got two main problems — billionaires and pedophiles. And of course, billionaire pedophiles. Until you address the billionaire pedophile elephant in the room, nothing will get better. You deserve leaders willing to exact swift justice on these monsters. Love, God

John Cornyn has been in office longer than I’ve been alive. He’s had 40 years to lower the cost of housing, healthcare, groceries, utilities, and gas. What’s the hold up?

HUGE scandal if true. Laura Loomer got Marco Rubio to throw two Iranian women with green cards in ICE jail to be stripped of status and deported, claiming they were related to Qasem Soleimani. Official documents provided to @dropsitenews.com appear to show they are NOT related; they're innocent.

At the end of 2024, the National Academies put out a report concluding the NIH has woefully underfunded women’s health research, and they suggested $15 B should be invested over the next 5 years. Here’s what’s happened instead. Hard to study women’s health if you can’t say “women.” wapo.st/4euUt1c

@democrats.senate.gov @housedemocrats.bsky.social Please watch and take notes. This is how it's done.

We spend a lot of time talking about mass shootings (as we should), but not so much about DV-related murders. This country has a huge gun problem but we also have a huge misogyny problem. The Alarmingly Common Reality Of Men Killing Their Partners And Children www.huffpost.com/entry/domest...

I decided to write about at each & every one of the 32 states with supreme court elections this year. Why? On abortion, redistricting, death penalty, & more, these institutions & their elections remain so critical. So here's everything you need to know. NEW from me:

WOW: A stunning new report in the WSJ reveals that military advisers intentionally excluded Donald Trump from the command room during the recent high-stakes operation to extract a downed U.S. airman in Iran, because they feared his erratic behavior could jeopardize the mission. 1/

In a nutshell. 😊

No one should comply with the DOJ until they comply with congress. Which they have not done for 5 months.

If you watch and share one thing today make at this. Why is every democrat in the country not talking like this?

Worldwide, girls and women are far more likely to be killed by their intimate partners or family members, than complete strangers.

Join us in solidarity outside the U.S. Institute of Peace on April 23 at 5:30PM to protest David Ellison’s dinner honoring Donald Trump! www.mobilize.us/publiccitize...

Some ambitious Democrat humor me and run for president just repeating just these simple ideas: 1) justice / prosecution / revenge against Trump + GOP 2) anti corruption across the board! connect to above 3) universal healthcare 4) universal human rights 4) no USA tax $ or weapons for genocide

Despite Trump’s claims to the contrary, nearly every ship attempting to pass through the Strait of Hormuz today turned back.

We created this guide for anyone who could experience a miscarriage in a state with abortion restrictions. We wrote it in consultation with dozens of doctors, including those who regularly treat patients who are miscarrying 👇

At the start of this week, there were three men in Congress whose reputations had imploded after being accused of misconduct against women: Reps. Cory Mills, Tony Gonzales, and Eric Swalwell. Gonzales and Swalwell resigned, but Mills is hanging on despite facing a staggering number of scandals.

RFK Jr snaps at Madeleine Dean: "You do not DARE talk to me about what you just said about measles. You do not have the courage to allow me to reply."
