After we are done laughing, we can start crying.

"We should not have to march in 2026 to protect voting rights for all Americans. We are at a moral low as a nation when people are stripped of their right to vote because of the color of their skin. But if we have to fight that same fight again, we will. And no one will turn us around." .

Russian MFA Press-alcoché Maria Zakharova claimed that the drone attacks on Moscow were carried out “with EU money” and timed to coincide with Eurovision. According to her, the targets were “exclusively civilian.” Right. A sanctioned microelectronics plant, ...

Today in Selma and Montgomery, Alabama, crowds gathered for the National Day of Action. Activists, lawmakers, and everyday people pushed back against attacks on voting rights and Black political representation happening across the South. Here are scenes taken by Nikolai Pizarro on Instagram.

Mike Johnson is a typical Christian Nationalist, full of ahistorical disinformation about the United States. "In God We Trust" was not a motto from this nation's founding. It was added in 1956, at the height of the Cold War, as a Christian Nationalist rebuke to the Soviet Union.

Insane! May 17th 2026

Saw huge turnout for this VRA rally in Selma yesterday but wanted to show it again for solidarity with people in other states that couldn’t join in. “Every blow against justice has historically awakened a sleeping giant,” said Rev. Bernice King. “This moment is our generation’s proving ground.”

Darin Smith faces a Senate confirmation vote to become Wyoming’s top federal law enforcement officer. Days before it, judges tossed nine felony indictments over his “deeply concerning” misconduct. It’s not just a personnel issue. It is a rule-of-law problem. zurl.co/um69Q

Good coverage of yesterday's events in Selma and Montgomery. We may not have wanted to be in this play, but the this is where you go to learn from those who came before how to act when you are called to this stage. www.al.com/news/birming...

A 57-year-old resident with no criminal history was detained on a layover as she traveled home from visiting her ailing father in France. She was forced to spend the night in a holding cell and was threatened with deportation.

This was more important than the American people.

He’s going to try and steal an election… Again.

The Religious Right is desperate these days to pretend that "Christian Nationalism" is (1) a recently-invented term and (2) a pejorative invented by their enemies, but neither of those claims is remotely true. Here's a short thread, but I'm sure other historians will have examples too.

Pretext for the next war, same as pretexts for the last wars. Some old story, same old song and dance.

Holocaust survivor Stephen Kapos was at the Nakba Day demonstration in London. The 88-year-old has attended almost every demonstration in the last two year’s protesting Israel’s genocide in Gaza. #freepalestine #gaza #genocide

Republican C-SPAN caller: “It’s hard for me to say this, but I think if I can open up about it in public it might help others… I regret my support for Trump, and I should’ve known better. He’s a con man. A liar. The worst, most corrupt president we’ve ever had.”

Europe shouldn’t take the Kremlin’s bait by engaging in direct talks with Russia at a time when Ukraine has gained the upper hand in its fight, Estonia’s top diplomat warned. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Trump threatened to deploy troops to polling places. NM Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham just signed a law making that a felony. See how she is protecting voters and telling the regime to back off: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/they-cant-...

The oxygen that keeps us alive comes from natural ecosystems: half on land, half at sea. It's not complicated: we are TOTALLY dependent on the living world. Yet it's still treated as nothing but 'resources', to exploit and destroy for profit.

When you have broken as many laws as FOTUS has and caused as much wanton destruction of the administration, you are an enemy of the state. The military oath, "To support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC."

France listening to 10 ‘new’ suspected victims of Epstein: Prosecutor https://aje.news/vsuuz6

The most corrupt president in history:

Trump sued his own government to pay himself $10 billion in taxpayer funds. He even said: "It's awfully strange to make a decision where I'm paying myself." It's not strange. It's corrupt.

It hurts to watch. Four years of russian captivity mean decades of aging: Ukrainian marine and Mariupol defender Mykhailo Katsaval is finally home. russian prisons are hell. russian occupation is not peace. russia's impunity only leads to more wars — and bigger ones.

The president of the United States is, mentally, eight years old.

OK forget about what I said yesterday - THIS is the absolute worst picture of Trump ever taken. So for fuck’s sake, out of basic human decency, do not retweet it and accidentally expose more people to it. Fuckface would be devastated.

‼️🥔 Regarding the war with Belarus, there are only two questions: “where will they strike and when” — Kuleba claims that Lukashenko’s words about preparing for war are true. He added that Putin also wants Belarus to fight.

I'm not voting for a person to win in November. I'm voting to save Democracy. I'm voting to end the hate & lies. I'm voting to ensure Trump faces justice for his crimes. I'm voting to stop Trump's hostile takeover of America. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed #VoteOutRepublicans

Just another normal day at DOJ where they have to withdraw a filing in New Hampshire that was intended for Minnesota.

“It’s just frustrating to see them come into our community and run all over us like the citizens don’t matter, and then they’re above the law when they do break it,” resident, James Clifton said. www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

What an embarrassment:

Trump has come out against Lauren Boebert, one of his fiercest defenders. For some reason, he is really upset at the Republicans who pushed to release the Epstein files.

Consequences of the Russian attack on Odessa This night, the enemy massively attacked the south of Odessa with strike drones. Residential and port infrastructure were damaged. Unfortunately, there are injured people.

The idea is tell right wing Trumpers that it’s okay to seize the Capitol. You will be pardoned and hugely compensated. He’s creating an army of violent insurrectionists.

"May your villages burn." "Death to Arabs, we will rape their wives." These were among the Islamophobic and anti-Arab chants shouted by Israeli settlers during yesterday's "flag march" on the anniversary of the occupation of Jerusalem.

💙💛 In occupied Oleshky and neighboring villages, there is a critical shortage of water, food, and medicine. Dmytro Lubinets has called on the Red Cross to assist with the evacuation of residents. unn.ua/en/news/occu...
