Trump sued the IRS. His DOJ settled it. Buried in the deal: the IRS can never audit Trump, his kids, or the Trump Org again. A pending audit could’ve cost him $100M+. He paid $750 in taxes in 2016. $750 in 2017. $0 in 2020. You likely paid more than the president. This is corruption as governance.

WTF did they do to that sink?

We’ve been telling y’all: Trump is manipulating the market. In case you still had doubts, watch this. A sitting president openly hyping companies right after buying their stock should set off alarms for everyone. Imagine the nonstop outrage from Republicans and Fox News if a Democrat pulled this.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

From @sifill.bsky.social "What sane-thinking Americans must now understand is that to eliminate Black political power is to not only consign Black people to second-class citizenship across the South where most Black people live, it will also usher in the end... open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

Also the next somebody says reparations for black people is a ridiculous idea, remind them that we have a reparations program for trying to overthrow the government

the president of the united states sued his own government for ten billion dollars and “settled” it by directing that government to use taxpayer money for a nearly two billion dollar slush fund to distribute to his political allies at will typing it out barely feels real

Donald Trump is the most corrupt president in American history. It is not close.

Every time progress has been made in our history has been when partisan zealots -- not too strong a word -- found a way to push white people in the direction of multiracial democracy.

Many Americans have started realizing the Epstein class has contingency plans ordinary citizens will never have access to. Multiple homes. International assets. Dual citizenships. Private security. Bunkers. When things collapse, they do not plan on suffering alongside you.

Flock cameras are being used in 6,000+ communities. Are you being spied on?

The Brown v. Board ruling happened 72 years ago today. The reversal of the Supreme Court’s previous “separate but equal” decision highlights how it’s possible to overcome bad SCOTUS decisions. But it took years of activism from brave people to get there. Keep fighting.

People have already memory-holed how critical #TeslaTakeDown was. It was the earliest decentralized set of protests in the second term as early as Feb 2025 at a time when most people were shell-shocked and Dem leadership was cowering and capitulating. And it pushed Elon out of the WH.

It is not happening

The scariest part is that there are a lot of tasks the AI is being used for, where you cant tell whether it is correct, and so it is assumed correct. At least with Data Science there are still experts who can call bullshit.

He still doesn't understand how tariffs work!

Just saw Again Again by @miamoore.bsky.social at SIFF. What an amazing and beautiful film! (I hope it gets more screenings!). www.siff.net/festival/aga...

The Pentagon has NO plan to stop Trump's family from profiting off lucrative defense contracts. I asked. They couldn't or wouldn’t answer.

More journalists and media workers were killed in 2025 than in any other year since the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) began collecting data more than three decades ago.* Two-thirds of the journalists killed were by Israeli forces.*

Historian of abolition here, history tells us how we got here, to put it succinctly “John Brown was hanged for treason and Robert E. Lee was not.”

“.. most months it’s the No. 1 consumer of water in the county.” @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

Some Democrats and anti-MAGA Republicans think Marco Rubio would restore normalcy after Trump. Under no circumstance should any member of the Trump regime be allowed to stay in government, Marco is part of the regime, criminally aligned, and serves the same masters Trump does.

NEW ANALYSIS: What's going on in Spain? Spain's wholesale electricity price in early 2026: €44/MWh. Italy: €127. Germany: €96. UK: €103. Wind+solar now deliver 44% of generation. Gas sets the price in just 9% of hours, down from 55% in 2022. Full analysis: janrosenow.substack.com/p/spain-just...

The more things change The more they stay the same.

Alabama House speaker said he hopes SCOTUS “will overturn Amendment 14,” the one that made Black people citizens and guaranteed equal protection under law. It wasn’t just a slip. Today’s newsletter. 👉 link.al.com/public/45636...

And the guy sitting behind Trump in Butler - what did he do to piss God off?

They’re against diversity. And they want Black people grouped together in one part of town, until it comes to our voting power. We see you.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but what’s going on in the south right now with voting rights and erasure, is a “kitchen table issue” — for Black families. And it should be for everyone.

This ⬇️

Tennessee Republicans did it. The final vote is in. They just gutted the only Black-majority district to lock in more Republican power. Black voters shut out, representation erased. Call it what it is, a white supremacy power grab. And a shameful day for Tennessee, the birth place of the KKK.

im sick of the media describing a potential “deal” in iran, there is no “deal,” trump is begging them to let him surrender and they wont let him

Google Chrome has been quietly downloading a 4GB AI model onto users’ device. You didn't consent to it. If you delete it, Chrome downloads it again.

I want this for us. The people of the US deserve this kind of reckoning too. Also, nationalize Space X, seize Musks assets to pay for the damage done by Doge, and deport his ass penniless and without the ability to do business in the US.

Effective propaganda is 2 truths and a lie. The Iran videos are on point about Trump & co., and the war is bullshit. But lets not forget that just a couple months ago they murdered 3000+ protesters.They routinely disappear and torture their own citizens. We oppose Trump, the war AND the IRGC.

Google co-founder Sergey Brin — the third-richest man on the planet — is reportedly spending $57M to defeat California's proposed billionaire's tax. So he and his fellow oligarchs can't afford a wealth tax, but they'll spend a fortune buying elections? See the problem...

Foreign contributions to political campaigns are banned. Trump found a loophole—crypto—allowing him to rake in hundreds of millions from foreign regimes buying influence. My @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social Chart.

Jimmy Kimmel has outdone himself this time! This pharmaceutical ad about Felon47 is hilarious! 👏👏👏👏👏😂👏👏👏👏👏 #ReZyne #JimmyKimmel

Feels like a good week to reemphasize this from @sifill.bsky.social. To her point, some suggested readings: bookshop.org/lists/books-...

I keep thinking about the ease with which they cancelled elections over the last 24 hours

Lets be clear. This is about stealing an election, this time, with SCOTUS on their side. House Speaker says, “you’ve got to keep the grown ups in charge.” GOP doesnt care what the voters want. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The funniest VRA takes are the people who think it’s only going to affect the South, as if black folks (and other minorities) have historically been allowed to set up little peaceful regimes with equal representation and free pop tarts elsewhere

EXCLUSIVE: Newly obtained documents show a clear paper trail of Trump administration officials planning to share sensitive voter data with an outside political group trying to overturn elections, as part of a secret agreement. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

No U.S. distributor would touch this documentary so now we're giving you free access May 1-4. Including interviews with historian Heather Cox Richardson, Rep. Jamie Raskin, and Harvard professor Steven Levitsky. www.democracyundersiegedoc.org/signup

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

We can be glib, but the fact is the Supreme Court destroyed the America the Civil Rights Movement built today. And I have no confidence whatsoever that the Dems will react w/ urgency to curb the return of Jim Crow voting. It is a dark day. And requires serious reflection on what is to be done.
