Jurors in Ohio have convicted a former sheriff's deputy of reckless homicide in the shooting of a Black man who was carrying sandwiches into his grandmother's home.

They passed a law to break a law. Then they passed a racist map. And they don’t have to tell anyone what happened 👇🏽 It’s all so dark. Watch fascism work. 🇺🇸 www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Zero Tennessee House Republicans stood and spoke in favor of their racially gerrymandered 9-0 map stripping Memphis of representation during their allotted time. Speaks volumes.

🔥 @staceyabrams.com : "The South is where over half of Black people live— You’re silencing citizens and telling them their voices don’t matter… We would never say ranchers can only be represented by vegans." (H/T @fairfightaction.bsky.social )

ICE keeps detaining the same US citizen again, and again, and again. Now, he’s fighting back.

Or maybe, just hear me out, Americans are paying more attention to the Supreme Court than they used to, and they understand the difference between this Court and earlier ones where justices respected precedent.

What happened in Alabama is actually happening everywhere. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

If you think it’s just the Deep South, please read this. We can’t afford to tell ourselves the myth that it’s going to be okay.

Lutnick said last year that he cut ties with Epstein, his former neighbor, in 2005. But the Epstein files indicate that the two kept in contact, including for a 2012 lunch on Epstein's private island. n.pr/4nfPxjj

This informative update on the impact of the SCOTUS decision - not just in Alabama. Please read to the end of this - a warning about federal judges being appointed now. Please note: the ballroom is not being built for the “next guy”.

The "big beautiful bill" is a death sentence for 446 hospitals. GOP made the LARGEST Medicaid cut in 60 yrs-$911B-to fund tax cuts for the rich while hospitals close & mothers drive an hour for prenatal care. The Pentagon demands $200B MORE for an endless war in Iran. They chose war over your life.

Republicans are proposing $1 billion in taxpayer money for Trump’s White House ballroom—after the president repeatedly claimed it would be privately funded and cost Americans “not one penny.”

Trump promised to lower costs on "Day 1." It's Day 471 and costs are up for everything from gas to groceries. So what's the President and Republicans in control of Congress focused on? Trump's gold-encrusted ballroom to wine and dine corporate donors and Washington elites.

The Senate should not be voting for Donald Trump’s sock puppet to lead the Fed.

Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry canceled congressional primaries that were already in progress. Over 100,000 absentee ballots had already gone out. Early in-person voting had just started. And Landry signed an executive order saying none of those votes will count.

Kinda burying the lead here, NPR

WATCH: The DOJ quietly closed 23,000+ criminal cases in the first six months of the second Trump administration, abandoning hundreds of investigations into terrorism, white-collar crime, drugs and other offenses as it shifted resources to pursue immigration cases. Full story: propub.li/4tHp2Wd

DHS agents assault journalist in Los Angeles while snatching protestors (seemingly at random) during May Day protests

It's been 60 days since the President started his illegal war with Iran. According to the law, he must withdraw troops NOW.

We’re putting Trump, corporations, and billionaires on notice and reminding them that the real power in this country lies with the people. #MayDay

Trump’s net worth has nearly tripled in his second term, reaching $6.5 billion. His administration is the most brazenly self-enriching in American history. My @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social Chart.

SCOTUS saw that Louisiana had two Black congressmen and said "What is this, Showtime at the Apollo?"

🔥 @aisforafro.bsky.social: “There is a complete assault on the city of MEMPHIS right now (by @govbilllee and state Republicans)… we have an occupation happening… our school board is being taken over… now they’re attempting to remove our representation.” #TN9 #NewJimCrow

🚨UPDATE: We are told a special session to strip majority-Black MEMPHIS of the last remaining Democratic seat and make 35% Dems Tennessee a 9-0 state will happen NEXT WEEK, as early as Tuesday — as @GovBillLee helps Trump steal another seat with the voting rights act gutted.

More women have nearly bled to death during miscarriage under Texas’ abortion ban. Experts say the trend paints a troubling picture of the harms of unnecessary delays in care. “This is striking,” one doctor said. “The trend is very clear.” (Published July 2025)

This May Day, remember that the debate between “abundance” & progress is a false dichotomy, as this great article points out We can both eliminate absurd laws designed to keep the working class down while supporting unions & public programs (ie universal healthcare). See you in the streets 📣

It's day 59 of Trump's war with Iran. Gas prices are 40% higher since the war began.

Earlier this year, Trump released a bizarre executive order touting the controversial herbicide glyphosate (a.k.a. Roundup). Why? Our new investigation shines light on that—and a whole lot more.

They reduced security. Why did they reduce security? Because they wanted something to happen. They let it happen.

I need to tell a little story about St Paul Police. A month ago I was woken at 1AM because someone called in a bomb threat to my bartender. I raced over & the police came. We emptied the bar & found nothing. But the caller ID was on the phone. 1/

The Infowars news is funny, yes. But more importantly, it is an outright rebuke of Alex Jones' evil. It's testament to the strength and resilience of the Sandy Hook families who survived this bullshit for more than a decade as well as the Onion, which didn't give up on this for the last 18 months.

Well, at least the BBC is covering this.
