Maybe he was too drunk to remember

Yes!

while Democrat John Fetterman was the lone member of his caucus to vote against it.

Way to go, Australia! 🇦🇺 Trump Tower Australia has been cancelled after the developer said the Trump family brand has become too “toxic.”

None of us should pay taxes until we all are equally represented.

Yes!! We will not tolerate making America “great” only for white male billionaires. We will not go back and will not support a fascist broligarchy with “elections” rather than elections.

Amen

President Obama: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz.”

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

Survivor of Jeffrey Epstein breaks down in tears describing the moment she learned her name was revealed while the rich and powerful remained protected by redactions Roza: I kept my identity protected as Jane Doe. I woke up one day with my name mentioned over 500 times.

The Roberts Court, the Trump White House, and the national GOP are acting like this is their one big shot. Either they secure the lasting end of US Constitutional democracy, or they’re in very serious trouble from the backlash. And they’ve already gone so far that there’s no other possibility.

“The announcement comes amid ongoing criticism the president and his family are improperly profiting from his second term in the White House...” Endless corruption. www.mediaite.com/media/news/e...

🚨BREAKING: The U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) has allowed Alabama to select a different map for this year’s congressional elections in a stunning, last-minute move to interfere with another state primary election that has already begun. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The foundation of our democracy is burning to the ground. The conservative Roberts Court did not light the match, but it has repeatedly declared fire hydrants, sprinklers and smoke detectors illegal. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

Another beautiful Mother’s Day post from our children’s “role models”

Some strong arguments made here by @jamellebouie.net regarding the Virginia redistricting situation

Surely they've suffered enough?

Clyburn: "I think Justice Roberts is gonna take his place alongside some other justices, like Taney who gave us the Dred Scott decision"

🔥 WATCH: “You’re making my point — NO! LET ME FINISH.” @ashleyallison.bsky.social becomes the latest to school hilariously smug @ScottJenningsKY as he gaslights and pretends not to understand carving MEMPHIS is about stripping Black power to choose their own reps no matter their race.

The hate and vitriol is the one constant

AOC on possibly running for the Senate or President: They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.

Update on Brian Morales, the 25-year-old American citizen who was deported to Mexico after a Texas traffic stop last month, is still not home.

“This whole thing boils down to this charade they’re performing that this is only about partisanship and not about race.” @brotherjones.bsky.social tells Kanew & @realdlhughley.bsky.social when he walked into the Capitol it was 2026 and when he walked out it was pre-1965. #Memphis #JimCrow

Lutnick just can't get his story straight about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein — from back in February, where I first got him to admit he had lied about their connection, to today. What is he hiding? Why does his story keep changing? The American people deserve the truth.

Unlike Texas, North Carolina, Tennessee, Missouri, & Florida, Virginia put its redistricting referendum up to the will of the PEOPLE. They voted & the redistricting amendment won, fair & square.

This ruling throws out their votes and ignores Virginians’ will.

I regret to inform you that the president is posting weird AI slop again

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

These kill me

3/ Videos show how immigration agents have used these weapons: at one point, officers hurl tear gas canisters at protesters without apparent provocation. Then, with the street flooded in white smoke, a CBP agent shoots pepper balls before muttering “Fuck yeah,” and “Woo!”

2/ We found at least 79 children hurt by tear gas or pepper spray during Trump’s deportation blitz. It’s likely a vast underestimate. Kids were at home, sitting in strollers or attending a daytime protest with their parents. Then, chemicals left them gasping for air.

1/ Tear gas was created to incapacitate grown men. So when I started seeing reports of kids hurt by tear gas deployed by federal immigration agents, I wondered how often it was happening. My colleagues and I started to count:

While corporate profits skyrocket and the stock market rides high, regular Americans are struggling to make ends meet. Even CEOs of the biggest corporations are starting to understand why this is a huge problem. Watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8OWhw-GXUU

The more things change The more they stay the same.

And my personal favorite: “He’s a straight shooter who tells it like it is.” The man’s nose wraps around the planet umpteen times.

Of course, bc it’s the right thing to do

NAACP sues to stop Tennessee GOP gerrymander that dismantles majority-Black district www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Sen. Ron Johnson claims preposterously that as many as 3.9 MILLION (!!!) Americans died as a result of the covid vaccine Complete insanity

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.

DO NOT STOP TALKING ABOUT THE EPSTEIN FILES

The President of the United States is a criminal. He SHOULD have been convicted for the crimes he led on January 6th, 2021. He WAS convicted of 34 felonies for corruption and harassment. Yet somehow, instead of facing the consequences he deserves, he’s running the government like a mob operation.

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito leaned on an erroneous claim that Black voter turnout now tops white voter turnout, in his Callais v. Louisiana ruling that gutted the Voting Rights Act, reports The Guardian. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Ugh, lies have become commonplace. I am SOOO sick of the normalized disregard for truth.

They hacked Canvas during finals week. This is why the faculty need a secure ballroom.

“If you say something that the president or this administration does not like, they’re going to come after you. The president is trying to silence us, and I can’t think of anything more un-American.” -Sen. Mark Kelly

Witnessing southern states rush to dismantle black voting power is truly truly some heartbreaking shit to behold

My suggestion is for every person of color in Tennessee to vote with their dollars. Boycott mass transit. Have a mass sick day every week. Only buy from non white businesses. And if those businesses employ white employees, fire them. Make Tennessee pay.
