Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social in Montgomery: “We’re here united to take on this new confederacy, 60 years after the Selma March… because we know their intent is to dismantle everything gained during the civil rights movement.”

This. All of this. #Pinks #ProudBlue

America didn’t turn ugly because he became President. No. He became President because America was already this ugly. That’s the uncomfortable truth nobody wants to admit.

Dude is a sick, deteriorating mess… and everyone just shrugs and continues on

@robertgarcia.house.gov reminding Americans that we have only received half of the Epstein Files from the Trump DOJ and many of the documents produced so far are illegally redacted.

Epstein Survivor hearing happening in West Palm Beach now. We stand with survivors.

NEW: NAACP on Supreme Court allowing Alabama to redraw map to dilute power of Black voters "We are witnessing a return to Jim Crow. Anybody who is alarmed by these developments—as everybody should be—better be making a plan to vote in November to put an end to this madness"

Here’s the investigation we should have: Who decided to hit 15,000 targets and have so little to show for it except the tragic loss of 13 American servicemembers, higher gas prices for American families, and a depleted stockpile of critical munitions? https://to.pbs.org/4wsy4sc

I saw the report that RFK Jr. looked into banning SSRIs. Perhaps if he had any medical expertise, he’d know that these medications are lifesaving for so many Americans. Yet again, this is the Trump administration trying to insert itself between patients and their doctors. I’m not having any of it.

If high gas prices piss you off, remember, it's a small price to pay for a nuke that didn't exist and a Strait that was already open. We fucking lost because we have a fucking loser in the White House.

Why does every day have to feel like the entire country is having a bad acid trip?

@lawofruby.bsky.social: "The scope of the Epstein Files ... is brought to bear when you walk into the space. It's staggering and it hits you."

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

The U.S. has spent billions to lose a war that enriches its oligarchs, impoverishes the citizenry, sabotages its alliances, and strengthens its enemies. Empires have risen and failed before, but to my knowledge no state has ever chosen to kill its own power. snyder.substack.com/p/on-superpo...

Don't worry, the transportation secretary was on faux news focusing on promoting his new series about his 7 month long family vacation around the US being generously paid for by the tax payers. #Fuckyouduffy

1.6 million voters approved the redistricting in Virginia. 4 judges denied them.

I don't understand why redistricting chosen by voters is illegal, but redistricting rammed through by a GOP governor is fine

virginia voters should call their delegates and senators and demand that they ignore this illegitimate ruling

Based on this Virginia ruling, the Tennessee and Florida maps should both also be shot down. If not, Virginia should just pull a Tennessee and change the rules to ram it though the legislature. 🤷‍♂️

Trump threatened to nuke Iran during the same press event where he called a woman reporter "baby" and a "bitch" and we'll all just supposed to continue on tomorrow as though any of this insanity is normal or acceptable

Sesame Street taught me so much.

It’s staggering How swiftly states in the South can still move to stymie Black voters And how ready they were to do so

Today, I was back in court, standing up against this Administration’s attempts to silence me, millions of other veterans, and all Americans. Our vets deserve leaders who stand up for their rights, not try to take them away. That’s why I’m not giving them an inch.

I am starting to get the sneaking suspicion the Confederacy was insufficiently punished

I always liked Robert De Niro as an actor. I like him even more as a political activist. He is not intimidated like some others of influence and as many vital institutions and corporations in 🇺🇸. In particular shame on the lawyer firms who folded without a legal battle.

Kash Patel firing watch 🍿

Watch the documentary " Surviving Ohio State" on HBO Max, it's a documentary by George Clooney, excellent, Jim Jordan is guilty . They all were.

Sesame Street taught me so much.

Rep. Moulton on Iran: "Regime change has gotten us a more hard line regime. We've destroyed some of their ballistic missiles, but given them billions of dollars by lifting oil sanctions so they can buy more. We clearly have not obliterated their nuclear program…It's pathetic."

Please enjoy my cartoon for Thursday's Toronto Star

This is exactly why language matters: “women were given the vote” frames equality as a gift from men, instead of hard won political power extracted through organized resistance. Nobody gave women anything. Women fought, marched, strategized, endured violence, went to prison and died for it.

COLBERT: How dumb do you think it is for people to say that I should run for president? OBAMA: Well, you know, the bar has changed. I think you would perform significantly better than some folks we've seen. COLBERT: Is that an endorsement? OBAMA: It was not

This is the 82-year-old state senator the FBI just raided because she successfully redistricted Virginia to match racist Republican redistricting efforts. They targeted her because she's ruthless and effective. They don't want anyone else to play within their new rules.

Here’s 30 years of Bibi Netanyahu claiming that Iran is days away from nuclear weapons.

Attention all men. More of this, please.

Codifying Roe, passing the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, and holding members of this administration criminally accountable are important goals, but none of it sticks without Supreme Court reform.

How, exactly, did we go from a $200 million privately-funded ballroom, to a $1 billion taxpayer-funded one?

In the past year alone, Jeff Bezos's net worth has increased by $75 billion. That’s $205,479,452 per day $8,561,643 per hour $142,694 per minute $2,378 per second The median American’s weekly earnings is $1,235 ($64,220/yr).

It’s too easy for oligarchs like Jeff Bezos to exploit workers to enrich themselves. It’s time we say enough and make them pay their fair share #boycott

fuck the met gala and fuck jeff bezos. that is the official stance of the handbasket.

I am still not shopping at Target, I still have not forgotten the Epstein files, I still care about the planet and I still reject book banning!

A message from Mary, a 72-year-old Amazon worker from North Carolina projected onto Jeff Bezos’s $120 million penthouse before tonight’s #MetGala, chaired by Bezos.

May the Fourth be with YOU, from the Obama Presidential Center. Opening June 19.
