There is no deal FYI. The Strait will remain closed. This is terrible news but it’s the price of incompetence.

Ossoff: He’s trying to put his face on the money. He's building a monument to himself . But see, Atlanta, he's doing these things now because no one will honor him when he’s gone… because he's a failed president and a national disgrace.

Privatizing prisons and detention facilities is one of the worst public policy decisions this country has ever made. bsky.app/profile/atru...

omg

I had the honor of speaking at #TED in Vancouver last month. The most urgent message I felt I should share: We need to be #technoskeptics. We are "ultrasocial" creatures (E.O. Wilson). The technologies we are raising our kids on often encourage behaviors that go against our ultrasocial nature.

A study in contrasts.

During today’s cabinet meeting, Felon Trump spent 10 minutes ranting about swimming pools. Just more proof we need change in DC and @samforstag.bsky.social is running to be that change. We talk about his race & why working-class Americans need representation in Congress. youtu.be/lgsh3N5y1kk?...

This is how it's done.

🥳

When he’s right, he’s right.

Again, please share. In every aspect of American history you will run smack dab into the critical contributions of Black people. It’s not Black history. It’s American history. Trying to erase it is a fool’s errand. We live it every day. time.com/5836444/blac...

The people who celebrate Trump while he spends $120K of taxpayer money on his Super Bowl appearance, $155M of taxpayer money on gold, & $1.776B in taxpayer money on his criminals—want you to know it’s outrageous that NYC Mayor Mamdani spent $700 of his own dollars for tix to a Knicks playoff game.😐

Trump’s endgame in Iran has become clear—as has his desire to slip away without Americans noticing the magnitude of this defeat, Robert Kagan argued earlier this week.

Laser focused on affordability

Trump’s ill-conceived war against Iran was a total disaster. The end result? 13 American lives lost, 380 wounded, 29 billion dollars wasted, America’s global credibility destroyed, the US economy in shambles. And after all that, Iran gets to keep its stockpile of enriched uranium. Peak failure. 🏳️

Every one of them has the vibe of a traveling medicine show that thinks it's the first one to come along with the con. "What what? This is a certified tonic, my good man! How very dare you!"

We wanted to understand conservative ideas about traditional nuclear families. So we talked to a conservative ketamine addict who has 20 kids by 12 different women.

thank you to everyone who sent this to me

Every state should take a page out of Hawaii’s playbook on tackling Citizens United

The implications of what is happening to America are devastating: prime agricultural land is being permanently converted to AI data centers. If you want to fight back 1. Buy local 2. Show your local politicians you care

AOC: This is what drinking water in Georgia looks like after Meta began data center construction in the community.

This is a really big deal! I am very proud of the Elias Law Group team who litigated this to an amazing victory. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

“Censorship in plain sight”

Hosea Williams, the man marching with John Lewis at the head of the protesters beaten on Pettus Bridge seeking voting rights, was a chemist from Georgia with an MA. Now an African-American microbiologist from Georgia with a PhD is going to Congress.

🚨If a state is making it harder for your family to vote, why reward them with your talent and your NIL money? I said what I said. You can still make it to the NFL, NBA, or anywhere else without propping up politicians attacking democracy and voting rights.

This is a true statement and we’ve got to get the vote out to stop this madness.

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of our voter clients, we just won DOJ voter data case. We are 6-0 and DOJ is 0-7. www.democracydocket.com/cases/maine-...

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.

More than 3,700 trades. Trump’s more focused on his stock portfolio than lowering costs for you.

Thoughts for people living in safe blue cities and states: Alabama is the birthplace of the Civil Rights Movement. People bled and died for our right to vote. #AllRoadsLeadToTheSouth 🧵

Thousands are marching in Selma calling for a full restoration of the voting rights act.

Thomas Massie pushed for the release of the Epstein files, and the response has been tens of millions in outside spending, smear campaigns, and coordinated attacks. If this is what they do to a sitting member of Congress, imagine what Epstein survivors face when considering whether to come forward.

The stories & photos from today’s voting rights marches in Alabama deserve to be seen by people who weren’t able to stand there in person. If this piece moves you, please share it widely & help make sure these voices aren’t lost in the noise of a crowded news cycle. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

TODAY — and every day until we have justice for all: We fight for equal rights and we join together to support each other in this battle. blackpowerwarroom.com/dayofaction/

‼️THE SOUTH WILL NOT BE SILENCED‼️ Today’s march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge is a reminder that voting rights were paid for in blood. And now those same rights are under attack again. Next: Montgomery #AllRoadsLeadToTheSouth

“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...

Here are the facts: People have always had and will always have abortions in all 50 states. Abortion pills are safe, effective, and have been used by millions of people. No court or politician can change either of those realities.

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

Mamdani has demonstrated something that Democrats have largely forgotten. You can't just do good things for voters and expect to be rewarded for it. You have to tell them about it, over and over again. You have to advertise your work in office just as much as you did on the campaign to win it.

Oz to Rollins: "Get the smelling salts"

I often say that the fight for democracy is the fight of our generation. But let me be clear, if you aren’t fighting for Black voting rights right now then you aren’t really fighting for democracy.

Two days ago they were supposedly “begging for a deal” again for the 29th time in 9 weeks.

Starting to think he doesn’t have the cards

🎯🎯

They don’t do town halls with their constituents anymore. They now overturn elections they lose. They are desperately redrawing maps to retain power. They are building billion dollar underground bunkers. They are terrified of accountability; running scared from the people. Our time is now.

"It's not a golden idol forbidden by the Lord because we're not in a cult, y'all!"

In my book Twilight of Democracy, I wrote about how authoritarian populism had divided friends, including in Hungary. After Prime Minister Magyar was sworn in today, he said he hoped "Family, friends and communities will be able to speak to each other again." www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

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.
