I have been a vocal critic of gerrymandering. But the Supreme Court has unleashed the Republican Party on a gerrymandering spree. Democrats must respond in kind, removing any incentive for Republican states to gerrymander. This isn’t a race to the bottom. It’s a means of avoiding the bottom.

They put one of yours in the hospital, you put out a statement about how disappointed you are. That’s the centrist way.

Why is anyone debating whether or not to “let Marjorie Taylor Greene into the tent”? She has not asked to be in a tent with you. Nothing indicates that she wants to be in it. She is positioning herself to appeal to people who hate your tent, and possibly to peel off a few people at the edges of it.

A lot has happened, but not much has changed.

unfortunately, kim il sung's clothes hang a lot better

I think MTG going against Trump is useful in a “let them fight” sense but if you actually think she is on our side and isn’t still an antisemitic bigot who is aiming to take over the MAGA movement from Trump I don’t trust you as far as I can throw you

Cenk Uygur is both.

Cenk "Polymarket" Uygur is the Crazy Eddie of YouTube bullshit artists.

It's not unpatriotic to call the Roberts Court illegitimate. It's unpatriotic – and illegitimate – for the Roberts Court to act like right-wing political saboteurs.

This is what journalism is supposed to be about.

Fascists succeed in general because they are willing to take stuff, break rules, get violent, while most of their opponents are not Fascists lose, in general, because they pick (at least) one fight too many with someone they didn't expect to fight back

Worth thinking about how basically everything about legalizing sports gambling has been awful while the worst thing about legalizing marijuana is, like, restaurant revenue is down because people drink less.

being a Republican has gotta be so embarrassing, man. the entire party is a cult devoted to an antichrist like figure and is basically just full of people you wouldn’t let babysit your kids. how the fuck are these freaks controlling our country

AOC on possibly running for the Senate or President: They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.

In other words, he lied.

All of it.

MacFarlane: People in Virginia voted by the millions. Their voices were heard and now have been silenced. And you want to talk about what starts a political wave in a year like this: a mass of people who think their voices have been silenced. That doesn't stop a wave that fuels one.

Black people are giving it these Confederates raw and uncut. This is how it’s gonna be now. You wonder what we’re thinking? It’s this. I believe this is activist Gary Chambers again in Louisiana.

They're just straight up calling autism a social contagion now. Exactly the same thing they did to trans people.

A bit of cheerleading for you: Even some gerrymandered seats are not 100% certain to go the way the GOP wants in a wave election. In the last five midterm elections, the incumbent's party lost 9, 13, 30, 40, and 63 seats. Do you know how many turnovers Democrats need to flip the House? Three.

"I invite you to join me in prioritizing family" - Melania Trump, in her "Mothers are America's strength" op-ed. 🙄

I've never heard earned wealth phrased this way, but she's right about it.

EXCLUSIVE: My latest story for @theatlantic.com : www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

My 8yo asked if I would post something to Bluesky for her, then grabbed a piece of paper and made this So here is your advice for the day:

White people disgusted by this racist display are making pithy jokes in the replies. I want acknowledgment that it’s physically painful to think about our black elders, in particular, enduring the consequences of a Supreme Court decision that augurs a return to the Jim Crow era.

One reason Republicans are banning books and classes on race is because reading even one book about Jim Crow or Reconstruction makes it clear that they are hoping to reinstate segregation.

Bootlickers. Weak, white trash motherfuckers.

“I live in constant fear that I will be subjected to further baseless detentions just for going about my daily life." On May 2, Leonardo Garcia Venegas, a Florida-born US citizen, was detained by ICE in Alabama for the third time (!) in the span of a year. And he's suing the federal government.

Warning! You might see posts in the wild claiming "Hogwarts Legacy is free right now!" but this is malware, if you try and run it, it'll install Hogwarts Legacy on your PC.

I thought Elon Musk puffing his chest out, challenging Mark Zuckerberg to an MMA fight, talking a big game, then backing out because his mom said he shouldn't fight was pretty pathetic. But the possibility Musk was pretending to be his own mother saying he shouldn't fight makes it even more so.

Prime with ads. Just how Kubrick intended.

On this day in 1933, Nazis raided the Magnus Hirschfeld library in Berlin. The world’s greatest collection of LGBTQ books and scientific papers were looted and later burned, erasing decades of research into sexuality and gender identity. ‘Where they burn books, in the end they will burn humans too’.

94% of teachers have to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies. 85% of teachers are working second jobs during the school year, often just to keep up with the cost of living. Meanwhile, the average Wall Street employee got a bonus of $246,900 in 2025. Something has gone terribly wrong.

Today, the day of the Met Gala, the unionized workers of the Met posted this image to their Instagram. www.instagram.com/p/DX64ioYjecG/

This is for *your* kids, you understand. The tech elites send *their* kids to private, screen-free Montessori schools. They know exactly what they're doing.

A survivor of the Kent State Massacre rings the bell on campus today, May 4, at exactly 12:20, the moment his classmates fell, 56 years ago.

Why do the Russians even care what happens to InfoWars? Unless... hold on... HOLD ON

I was forced to the back of the bus. This ain't theoretical for me. I lived this shit.

The United States now has the most government restrictions on academic freedom of any high-income country. www.chemistryworld.com/news/academi... Raw data from @vdeminstitute.bsky.social —> academic-freedom-index.net/research/Aca...

I want to live in a country where: - the president isn‘t a fascist - the political media don’t collaborate with fascism - political violence and mass shootings aren’t a regular occurrence - there is a democratic method to depose the head of state if they’re a corrupt, demented pedo

I don’t buy any of this at all.

oh do news reporters know what it's like to be a public school teacher now
