☮️ Paul McCartney sending off Stephen Colbert is yet another reason the arts are everything. We will take this sad song we are living through in America and make it better…

Agreed

Imagine being a Russian troll assigned to Bluesky: “Comrade, today you will destabilize Western democracy by arguing with poets, policy nerds, and a raccoon avatar with tenure.”

This is the choice... I hope voters understand this choice in the voting booth

BREAKING: Mitch McConnell just slammed the Trump slush fund: "So the nation's top law enforcement official is asking for a slush fund to pay people who assault cops? Utterly stupid, morally wrong – Take your pick."

Hey, Mitch. You could have prevented ALL THIS by voting to convict him and bar him from holding office again. Asshole.

🚨NEWS: Republicans just pulled a vote on an Iran War Powers Resolution because they knew they were going to lose. They don’t have the guts to end a war that’s costing BILLIONS of dollars and putting lives at risk while driving up the cost of gas & groceries.

Virtually ​all major oil refineries in central Russia have been forced to ‌halt or scale back fuel output following Ukrainian drone attacks in recent days, according to official data and sources. www.reuters.com/business/ene...

Look who’s suddenly asking for reparations. Maybe Mike should pull himself up by his bootstraps, stop looking for handouts, and get himself a real job. 🙄 Isn't that what they always tell us? #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks

He blackmails to obtain what he wants from taxpayers’ money. He uses pardon power to release convicted criminals from prison knowing convictions were violent crimes, huge drug running operations in the USA, and huge business criminal and civil fraud.Pardons NEGATE fines & restitution to victims.

President of the USA successfully sued the IRS for an employee leaking his tax return resulting in well over one billion dollars from tax payers going to those trump deems as wronged by being prosecuted for their violent insurrection coup d’état domestic terrorism attack on Jan 6th on the Capitol.

It’s not the mountains ahead that wear me down, it’s the boulder of MAGA in my shoe.

Money is the root of all evil. Old saying

Good GAWD! He is so delusional he reeks it from his pores. Will No one set him straight? Biden did great things for our country & brought it back from the brink drumpf had us teetering on. Infrastructure! Humanity! Best economy in the world! Renewable energy! Cutting edge medical research! ETC!

Two incumbent West Virginia Supreme Court justices, appointed by their Republican Governor, were defeated last night by candidates supported by Democrats. Well done!

I would enjoy a congressional hearing in which Kash Patel is questioned about all the convicted Jan 6 violent criminals and the massive drug lords trump has pardoned and the creepy Gislaine Maxwell scheming that won her a lush placement and gave her a puppy. Obviously closing in on a trump pardon.

This 👇 - They have failed both the Judicial Oath and the Constitutional Oath. They are not impartial, neutral arbiters of the law and don't even try to hide that they are influenced by their own personal political preferences.

Happy Mother’s Day! I send this to my kids all the time to remind them that no matter how old they are I’m still right behind them as they blaze their paths through life

Chicago teen battling terminal cancer dies hours after reuniting with parents An 18-year-old Chicago resident battling terminal cancer has died, just one day after being reunited with his parents following their release from U.S. immigration custody.

2/2 He has limited access to higher education, weakened protections for minority voters, empowered partisan #gerrymandering, undermined DEI programs, and shifted racial policymaking from Congress to the Court. He has done it all while being praised in the media as a “moderate” and “institutionalist.

1/2 By ending affirmative action and hollowing out the Voting Rights Act, [John] Roberts has reshaped the racial landscape of American law more profoundly than any figure since the end of Reconstruction. #AffirmativeAction #DEI #JohnRoberts #VRA #VotingRights #SCOTUS

The Mouse Bites Back "Disney is mounting its most aggressive pushback yet against Donald Trump’s attempts to censor his critics, signaling that the company has concluded it's wiser to fight rather than fold." by @passantino.bsky.social www.status.news/p/the-mouse-...

"Looking back now, it’s clear that the desire to undo the Civil Rights Era — and even restore the Confederacy to a place of honor — never disappeared. It was sometimes set to the side and reshaped, but they kept the fire burning with unwavering attention."

There is no clearer case for the necessity of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 than how quickly southern states moved to eliminate Black-majority districts and dilute Black power after SCOTUS eroded Section 2. SCOTUS’s reasoning was immediately disproven by reality.

Michelle Obama warned everyone. Kamala Harris warned everyone. Hillary Clinton warned everyone.

The president wants to make it harder for millions of Americans to vote. We won’t let him. NO on the SAVE America Act.

Thought other politicians just hated Mamdami's guts so much because of racism, but he seems to be setting the kind of standards they Really don't want to meet so maybe he scares the shit out of them because he's showing everyone how easy it would be to actually do their damn jobs

A lot of people on this platform have fantasy thinking. It’s sad. We are a deeply brainwashed society. The propaganda has been highly effective. People are already dying. These concentration camps are not going to close. ICE is funded by law through September 2029. Disaster is coming.

I am CRYING. The youngest’s grade just finished performing their concert, and one of the last songs, they sang and did full sign language for. Youngest is non-verbal. For the first time ever, he was able to sing/sign with his class.

The hill I’m dying on: The Marco memes are the best.

A Georgia couple who terrorized a Black family at a child's birthday party with Confederate flags, racial slurs, guns, and death threats were sentenced for a hate crime. Joe Torres got 20 years; Kyla Norton got 15.

Really wish some person or org could make 17-year-old 5-star football recruits understand the potential political power they hold by simply refusing to go play In states that disenfranchise black voters.

Remember when you told us we were being hysterical the night of the election in 2016? Remember when you told us SCOTUS was gonna be fine? That they wouldnt strip away abortion rights? Remember when we told you they were coming after marginalized communities?

Beat them at the ballot box anyway.

I just can’t. How does anyone support this lunatic?

Destany Pete researched an Indigenous chokecherry recipe and achieved promising “in vitro” results on cancer cells. Her science project gained international recognition for combining traditional knowledge with modern laboratory experimentation.

Now the court OVERRULES Virginia voters????? What the fuck? Are you seeing it yet?

www.huffpost.com/entry/suprem... John Roberts is a traitor to the very Constitution he is sworn to uphold. We need to have a discussion with these people about the meaning of words and how they think. In a very lawyerly way he has destroyed American Democracy and enabled a King.

Turn white male depravity back on them, vote Blue every single time, reject self righteous superiority. Put them in their place where they keep us on a so called even playing field NOW is the time to stand up for human rights, to realize the American dream for all. 💙💙💙💙💙💙

"72% of the white population is put into one district. 75% of the Black population is carved into two,” Sen. Jeff Yarbro of Nashville said. “We are being asked to believe that it’s just the luck of the draw, just happenstance.” Within hours of a new congressional map passing, the NAACP filed suit.
