The shit just keeps shitting

Congresswoman @aoc.bsky.social with @brotherjones.bsky.social in Alabama…

Oddly, I am not forgetting the Epstein files. Are you?

critically this was the case in 1870 when the 15th amendment was ratified! there is literally no such thing as partisan gerrymandering and manipulation of voting rules in the south outside of the context of “white reactionaries want to neuter black political power”

The New York Times, once again, not being forthright about Trump.

Yesterday, a new generation of civil rights activists marched from Selma to Montgomery to fight for voting rights. As states across the country try to make it harder for citizens to be heard, we need to learn the lessons of those who came before us and refuse to take our democracy for granted.

An attack on Black America is an attack on all of America. Remember: if they come for us, they’ll come for you next. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/16/u...

Rep Sean Casten (D-IL) comes right out and compares the SCOTUS majority to the Klan. 😮😮😮👏👏👏👏

a) who here is surprised they are blaming a woman and b) of course an aide of his looks like this. Also, let's say she is feeding him vats of racist oatmeal, he is still a hugely bigoted asshole who is gladly slurping that shit up by the gallon

GILLIBRAND: How did we bomb 22 schools? COOPER: There's no indication we have G: So how do you explain publicly available information that 22 schools have been hit and multiple hospitals? C: There's no way we can corroborate that G: Have you investigated those claims? C: We have not

I really, really, really hope you all have someone working on an investigative article about all the ways we have witnessed Republican state governments very plainly try to reinstate the total disenfranchisement of Black voters in the USA. This isn't about party. This is about white supremacy.

s2fg I need a tattoo that says GREAT. WHO'S PAYING? It works for nearly every area of life now and I got room on a forearm, this is a non-zero possibility

"If she has her own house, what will she need me for?" I don't know, dude, maybe be cool and fun to be around and be happy for her success instead being whiny little sad-ass troll about it? www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Of course, Scalise makes an Idiotic Argument…..

BURGUM: When the sun goes down, solar produces zero electricity HUFFMAN: I want to enter into the record this amazing new technology that apparently the secretary is unaware of -- it's a battery

when we get to the other side of this, we have to make behavior like this a severe crime. the sort of crime where you never get to hold power again and you pay restitution to the people you disenfranchised forever. they are only human, just like the rest of us, and they forget their place.

“.. Target has lost nearly 9%, its worst three-day stretch in more than a year.” @barrons.com #$TGT www.barrons.com/articles/tar...

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @dennisgoris.bsky.social )

Pope Leo XIV gifted Marco Rubio a plant of peace. In return, Marco Rubio gave the pope a crystal football. The pope’s response? “Wow. Okay.”

Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social burns a confederate flag in the rotunda after the House passed 9-0 maps stripping Memphis of representation… #Memphis #JimCrow @MarshaBlackburn @GovBillLee

This will probably manifest in bigger beautifuller plans for the Trumpsterfire Presidential Center that are somehow even stupider than the ones before but also son I am excite to get here hopefully this year

The last post in her thread says this is a low risk situation and the virus is acting as expected but what if your country's HHS is run by a brain worm who fucking grabs birds in airports

I miss a POTUS who acts human and has a sense of humor. Even Dubya had one of those FFS.

I am waiting for the next phase of this particular dumpster fire "Have you seen at least three episodes of Law and Order?"

They're really stopping an election that's already under way to erase my people from the map.

We went to Soul Prime in Chicago today and it was SO GOOD. Fried green tomatoes, smothered pork chops, the 290 with red beans and rice and THAT BANANA PUDDING 😋 soulprimechicago.com

The Daily Wire fires half of its staff in mass layoffs This comes as co-founder Ben Shapiro has lost 85% of his Youtube audience since last year

If I were writing YA I'm not sure I would want to be published by an imprint that advertised ahead of time that my book was purposefully neutered to appeal to busybodies who would still be likely to find fault at anything that did not exactly conform to their own particular brand of repression

I have been publishing YA novels for 20 years. I have seen a lot of nonsense written about the category, but this HarperCollins imprint has set a new bar. If anything is “cynical” or tailored for “shock value,” it’s this campaign, which might as well be from Moms for Liberty. This is loathsome.

We are very far off the cliff here folks. 🇺🇸 www.reuters.com/world/us/lou...

So many people urge us to vote if we are dissatisfied with our democracy. And yes voting matters. But as today’s Supreme Court ruling tells us, it’s not that simple. Not everyone who should have the right to vote can exercise that right.

as long as john roberts has his majority, there is simply no pro democracy reform that will survive the supreme court. none.

The Voting Rights Act is essentially dead and it’s quite possible that we will, like when a similar SCOTUS gutted civil rights at the fall of Reconstruction, see a disappearance of much of the Black congressional representation, especially in the most heavily Black states, which are in the South.

Welp John Roberts making more progress in his fucking racist life goals (Don't get it twisted - all the conservative justices are terrible but this is literally his life goal to torch the Voting Rights Act) apnews.com/live/voting-...

He murdered Renee Nicole Good. Shot her three times and then called her a “f*cking b*tch”. Her last words? “It’s ok dude I’m not mad”. He got three days administrative leave before being transferred to another state. No punishment. No accountability. No justice.

If this (to me very reasonable) speculation is true, this administration shooting itself is the most this administration thing of all

I think we all feel this in our souls

In case you were wondering if the Dems were going to capitulate to their corporate overlords in a hasty attempt to return to the status quo, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social just answered that question.

Atlantic writer sued by Kash Patel says she’s been ‘inundated’ with new sources corroborating her reporting

It's all fun and bigotry until the detention center comes to your backyard

WATCH — @pabloreports.bsky.social : “Who do you think Trump should fire next?” 🔥 @aoc.bsky.social : “Is he out of women? Trump only seems to have the capability to fire female secretaries. If you’re a man in the Trump administration, it seems that they reward misconduct.”

The Republican men who pretend to care about women’s sports standing in front of the actual athletes really sums their whole charade up perfectly

Staten Island traffic cameras have caught a white RAM 1500 pickup truck blasting through school zones or running red lights more than 547 times since 2022. The truck belongs to James Giovansanti, who lives and works there as an NYPD officer. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/04/23/t...

Every statement with Trump and numbers in the same sentence should start with "So as the President has proven many times, he does not have a basic understanding of math at any level"

Your government refusing to prosecute sexual predators, but protect them instead, only makes sense when you realize your government is being run by sexual predators.

Not a penny to make life more affordable for American families, but $70 BILLION for ICE to terrorize our communities.
