Being an American during the 250th Aniversary of the United States feels a lot like if the terrorists in Die Hard demanded that the hostages continue having their Christmas party.

Donald Trump’s “fund” is taxpayer money he is using to purchase a loyal MAGA Army to threaten, intimidate…and carry out violent acts in and around the elections. Call it what it is.

NEW: Sen Michael Bennet (D) says he will not appoint Gov Jared Polis to the Senate if Bennet is elected Governor. Bennet calls Polis' clemency for Tina Peters "disqualifying"

It’s not that the president has some mysterious ability to “do whatever he wants” It’s that Senators are choosing not to stop him, even though they could

Sometimes activism looks like: • Protesting • Sending emails • Mentoring • Posting on social media • Having tough conversations • Donating money • Caring for your family • Being a voice in your community • Spreading the word • Making phone calls • Advocating for equity • Volunteering • Voting

this is such a great encapsulation of what the various factions of the reactionary right want. i might add that they envision themselves as slave masters and the rest of us, in one way or another, as their slaves. betterdonkey.substack.com/p/the-vra-wa...

I’m a broken record, but it’s facially insane that the SCOTUS’s position is that the interest of a political party—an entity with no special constitutional protection—in gerrymandering is more important than black people’s right to vote, which we have several constitutional amendments addressing

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

Ha!

NEW: We've spent 10 months tracking the outcomes in tens of thousands of lawsuits brought by ICE detainees amid an unprecedented detention push. It's not a cose call: judges have ruled more than 10,000 times against ICE, a 9-1 ratio. See the database: www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

Believe what you want, but don’t use your faith as a cage for others. True democracy lives or dies on equal rights. If equality feels like a threat to your ideology, you aren't defending a belief; you're defending a power trip. Human rights > Personal agendas.

Isn't there a handful of billionaires late for their submarine trip to see Atlantis, or a vacation spot on Mars? I think Thiel, Musk, and a few others better hurry before they miss out.

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.

Imagine being a parent who had to choose between keeping your children with you where they'd most likely be killed or sending them away to strangers while knowing you'd likely never see them again. Because of fascism this was what many faced. encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/a...
