People! Make sure you are registered to vote. Double check your status and make sure you know where to vote.

MacFarlane: People in Virginia voted by the millions. Their voices were heard and now have been silenced. And you want to talk about what starts a political wave in a year like this: a mass of people who think their voices have been silenced. That doesn't stop a wave that fuels one.

I’m not surprised that the conservatives on the Court would rely on faulty data to base their decision that nullified the Voting Rights Act. Samuel Alito’s Voting Rights Act ruling cited misleading data from DoJ www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

A really tough week. I am doing everything I can to spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. You can help me by subscribing to Democracy Docket for free and sharing its content with everyone you know. Thanks. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

It's amazing how quickly White politicians in the South rushed to PROVE exactly why we needed the Voting Rights Act!

A House for Everyone!

A picture is worth a thousand words. This image of Black men, fighting 4 the right 4 Black people to be able to hold office, being hauled away by White law enforcement officers is a perfect depiction of how the SCOTUS decision kicks us back into Jim Crow territory. apnews.com/article/redi...

May the Tennessee NAACP prevail against this blatant and wicked racism.

Congressman Olszewski has proposed legislation that would institute term limits for SCOTUS. The bill requires a constitutional amendment. The majority of Americans support this reform. www.newsweek.com/thomas-alito...

🔴NEW RELEASE: Our SCOTUS event last night was so successful and important, Democracy Docket decided to post it on YouTube so everyone can watch and share it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IS9...

Remember: Wealth cannot be separated from power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people. Taxing the rich isn't just an economic issue, it's a defense of our democracy.

Sen. Mark Kelly: "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 that's more un-American."

A message on a Colorado school shooter's shoe makes clear the teen was deeply entrenched in online extremist networks and that his radicalization was central to his attack, experts say. "We need to think about how male supremacism and violent misogyny are dangerous ideologies in their own right.”

The lead plaintiff in Callais v. Louisiana said on social media that he was at January 6:

Tennessee and countless other states have been speaking out against what is basically a Jim Crow session

Is the Voting Rights Act dead? @legaldefensefund.bsky.social President @janainelson.bsky.social joins me to discuss the Supreme Court’s decision in Louisiana v. Callais on a new @cafedotcom.bsky.social Insider episode: cafe.visitlink.me/uh2knz

Perhaps not ironically but tragically & hypocriticallly, Roberts & other SCOTUS conservatives believe its just fine to be race conscious when it comes to allowing law enforcement to racially profile people. www.cnn.com/2026/04/30/p...

London’s mayor says there are no plans to remove the new Banksy sculpture which is located in Trafalgar Place. It’s a compelling piece that should make us all think. I wish we could erect a duplicate at the U.S. Capitol. www.npr.org/2026/05/02/n...

More views of that brand new sculpture by the mysterious street artist Banksy. It is attracting a lot of attention and drawing crowds since the eye-catching sculpture popped up in central London. #art #sculpture #banksy #london #travels

Good on you, Mayor Wu.

In the 24 hours since the Supreme Court's majority ruled to demolish the Voting Rights Act's remaining protections, Louisiana and Tennessee have already signaled that they'll redraw their congressional maps with the clear effect of shutting Black voters out.

Just learned today that @GovernorMoore commissioned Harriet Tubman as a general. She certainly earned this honor for her service during the Civil War. Well done Governor Moore! Now, when are we putting General Tubman on the $20 bill? #ForeverUnstoppableTogether news.maryland.gov/ng/2024/11/1...

LBJ signs Voting Rights Act, US Capitol Rotunda, 1965.

Today’s Supreme Court ruling guts the Voting Rights Act and turns back the clock on the foundational promise of equality and fairness in our election systems.

Today's horrible 6 to 3 Supreme Court decision that greatly weakens the Voting Rights Act just reminds us why Supreme Court reform is desperately needed!!

people fucking died for the voting rights act. to wave it away with a magic wand is just so grotesque

LDF's statement sums it up. SCOTUS has opened the door for widescale elimination of Black and Latino elected officials. States bent on discriminating will now be able to use political affiliation as a proxy for race in redistricting to diminish Black representation. www.naacpldf.org/press-releas...

If you were horrified watching elected leaders run & scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed. Now, become a part of the solution & only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.

Supporters of anti-DEI efforts want to roll back #justice. Check out the SPLC's #IntelligenceProject report looking at how "polite racism" disguises exclusion as moderation ➡️ allowing discriminatory policies to flourish and protecting a selective version of America 🔗: https://bit.ly/4usMRC8

The Trump Admin just changed a longstanding rule designed to stop lending discrimination. The new CFPB rule opens the door to bias against seniors, women, and people of color. More proof that this Admin is jettisoning its duty to ensure fairness for all. nationalfairhousing.org/cfpb-final-r...

Sheer greed. The evidence of price gouging is so clear and yet this Congress will not pass necessary legislation. craig.house.gov/media/press-...
