this line from alito’s opinion, that the question before the court was “whether compliance with the Voting Rights Act should be added to our very short list of compelling interests that can justify racial discrimination,” is truly orwellian

Oh look, France has a plan to phase out fossil fuels. Gosh, that seems like a good idea right now. thepoint.com.au/opinions/260...

We have to name and accept that many across the US political spectrum are most comfortable with politicians who aren't Black. Some on our side have declared they don't think representation matters. That's why they aren't blinking today. Their silence is always telling. And it is seen and noted.

Imagine living in the beautiful North West coastal area and being forced to move to Tennessee. Even Nashville, which is probably the only city there I'd even want to visit, is just going to feel super backasswards compared to Seattle. And to give all that up for a company like Starbucks? IDK ...

TOMORROW: Americans are calling out of work, walking out of school, and refusing to shop on the nationwide day of economic disruption. There are many ways you can get involved on May Day: survey.alchemer.com/s3/8705046/i... Join one of the over 3,000 events planned: www.mobilize.us/mayday/map/?...

“One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss.” “Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million a year on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.” #CityMakingMath Some costs are savings.

CA auto dealers who facilitate CA residents registering their cars in Montana are now under the gun for tax evasion. So far, 14 dealers + clients have been charged; more to come. They're in the wealthiest areas: Beverly Hills, Costa Mesa, Van Nuys, San Diego, Irvine, Santa Monica + Newport Beach.

A document obtained by MPR News shows that dozens of Minneapolis police officers have worked with a previously undisclosed Homeland Security Task Force, which city leaders say is investigating criminal, and not immigration, violations. (1) www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

The John Roberts Court has done more to reduce the political power of poor people and Black people while enlarging the voting rights of rich people and corporations than has any court since Roger Taney was Chief Justice in the 1800s. I opposed his nomination in 2005, and I stand by that.

John Roberts really really hates the very idea of Black people voting. He speaks his racism with a constipated smile instead of slurs, but it's honestly worse that way. He has no interest in the Constitution, just in harming the vulnerable.

Reminder that any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.

Washington state health inspectors have tried for months to investigate complaints at the immigrant detention center in Tacoma, to no avail. Now the state is asking a federal judge to force the hand of the facility’s operator. washingtonstatestandard.com/2026/04/28/w...

The dumbing down if America started with another wanna be actor. Reagan. My Mom warned us. The table was set. And he had Alzheimer's for the last 2 years of his Presidency.

They don’t want you to see the destruction of the USA bases in the Middle East Because Iran destroyed US bases Legitimate war targets all of them. And they don’t want to tell you about the casualties. This is that kind ofadministration that you have US citizens🤮🤯🤬😡 www.instagram.com/reel/DWzgBFJ...

Today’s SCOTUS ruling is a betrayal of our basic democratic values as a country—turning back the clock on hard-won civil rights victories. This isn’t just about Louisiana; this will have nationwide impacts on Congressional districting and voter representation for generations.

Whitehouse filets Zeldin: "You even set up a special polluter email address that give polluters a drive-up window for exemptions from the Clean Air Act"

I can't get over how extraordinary this is historically. For the first time since 1945, no tanks in the parade. No artillery. Not even any nuclear missiles? What message is Putin *really* sending here? Something this very unusual always has a message in Russia.

Cannot stress enough that what's happening now and will accelerate over next few weeks is a big spike in fuel costs paid for by every American that will flow *directly* into insane, unprecedented profits for American oil companies. They're going to be the big winners of this.

Trump’s putting his image on passports. Jesus Fucking Christ.

Rep. Ro Khanna says he pushed the British ambassador to have King Charles III meet with Epstein survivors—or at minimum address them publicly—calling the refusal “tone deaf” and a missed chance to show that no one is above the law.

I worked some with Sherman while at the State Department and have great respect for her. But the dissonance of referring to genocide in Gaza and then asserting that Israel must remain an ally of the United States is striking and revealing. www.timesofisrael.com/bidens-deput...

AOC reads to Zeldin internal emails she obtained from the EPA about a meeting he had with the Bayer CEO on glyphosate, and asks him, "Do you understand the conflict of interest that is before the American people right now?"

"Chavez-DeRemer ended up as a lesson in the signal truth of Trump’s second term: Those who agree to work for him are, by definition, unqualified and evil. There are no exceptions, and, by this point, there is no excuse for pretending otherwise."

🚨A map heist, orchestrated by Ron DeSantis. In CA and VA, voters had a say. In Florida, voters are cut out. 📌 Gerrymandered maps dropped yesterday 📌 Special session starts today 📌 Republicans will fast-track 📌 The maps violate Florida’s own Constitution. #NoIllegalFloridaMaps

Now charge Trump, his cabinet and cronies who keep manipulating the stock market and making billions.

Fighting russian invaders for the past 12 years, Ukraine has contributed more to peace and security in the North Atlantic area than all NATO members put together. If Ukraine is not made a member of NATO, then a new military alliance must form with Ukraine as its commanding lead.

When did they install software that prevents 50% of Americans from changing the goddamn chammel??? Always the fucking victim. Always.

This doesn't even address the BILLIONS of dollars this con artist has taken in bribes while in office.

The Supreme Court hears arguments tomorrow in Monsanto v. Durnell a case that could gut the ability of Americans to sue pesticide makers for cancer.

DoJ's national security division has lost nearly 38% of its staff, internal records show, leading to “unprecedented personnel constraints” in the unit that handles cases involving espionage and the export of sensitive military ​technology. www.msn.com/en-us/news/p...

He attended the WHCA dinner (his first) solely to stage the assassination attempt. It was another sympathy ploy to boost ratings and use as an argument for his ballroom This is a desperate man.

You know, instead of debating how we should go overboard to protect the one man who's the most hated provocateur of malevolent violence in the entire nation, we could just remove him from office through the normal procedures.

Who loves staged events? The history of participating in staged events made for TV goes back years.

Saturday was the one-year anniversary of Virginia Guiffre’s death. The Epstein survivors aren’t done fighting, but it takes public support to fuel their work. Don’t let the effort to distract work on you. Read & share: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

I don’t think the political party that’s spent 30 years telling us ‘actually everyone should have guns, no restrictions ’ should try and pin the blame for political violence on the party that’s been saying ‘more guns is bad and we should have some common sense limits’ for 30 years.

Funny how that works. 🤔🫤🤨🙂‍↔️

Appreciate this detail from CBS News reporter Jennifer Jacobs. It's an important part of the story that seems to be missing from a lot of comments & coverage.

BREAKING: Marking 40 years since the Chernobyl disaster, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accuses Russia of “nuclear terrorism” and urges the world to “force Russia to stop its reckless attacks.” 🔴 More on aljazeera.com

A gulf is growing between the phones on sale in the US and those available in the rest of the world. US phone buyers are missing out. Read more from @dompreston.com:

Yes. Super "Christian" Erika Kirk uses religion & a political propaganda machine to park people in an enemy position against Europe. Asking people to turn against their ancestors. The actual purpose of TPUSA is to lure people in under the banner of religion, then extend to them invitations to hate.

We should care as much about journalists who choose to have a party with a man who orders the shooting of civilians who are peacefully protesting as much as they care about the rest of us.
