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

Black people are giving it these Confederates raw and uncut. This is how it’s gonna be now. You wonder what we’re thinking? It’s this. I believe this is activist Gary Chambers again in Louisiana.

Don't let the recent set backs in VA and TN convince you your vote doesn't count. Register yourself and others. Learn your ballot. Take others to the polls. Become a poll judge. Do it NOW.

There was a cat in the car park this morning but even though I went pssspssspsss a lot it jumped over the wall and left before I could take a photo. Just keeping you up to date with all the important news of the day.

Obama not being the perfect president while being Black has broke so many brains.

“It’s understandable if there are days when you wonder whether we are inescapably ‘rushing to ruin,’ as Kundera put it. But it helps to know our predicament is not a new one, but rather a condition that many humans before us have faced—& ultimately overcame.” www.americaamerica.news/p/snapshot-o...

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

It's your duty to 'do politics.' It's the very small price of living in a county that was designed to be of our own design.

All out of f*cks…

Here’s my piece on the “now-completed demolition” of the Voting Rights Act in @thenation.com The VRA is the most important piece of legislation in American history. It more than anything is what ended American-style apartheid. And now Republicans have killed it.

Gift link. Great piece, remarkable embedded footage: www.nytimes.com/2026/04/29/u...

The thing is... if you don't show up, you get a crap government. So, SHOW UP.

A reminder that both Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris literally warned everyone that SCOTUS was on the ballot. They were right yet again.

This is not an exaggeration. Alex Jones is allegedly bankrupt but has an infinite well of dark money to pay lawyers, sell pills, and harangue judges and the parents of dead kids. This stay must be lifted so we can take over, and I hope journalists look into where he's getting and stowing his money.

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

All day, every day.

Reminder that any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.

One third of US bird species require priority conservation planning according to the State of the Birds 2025 report. Imagine how much good we could do for these imperiled birds with 25 billion dollars.

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.

I assure you, right now is the *perfect* time to discuss gun control.

Hey @bsky.app could ya please fix whatever ever the #403forbidden error problem is on my iPad running Firefox (or Safari, or Chrome). It's been 5 days or so. Seems a lot of others are having the same problem on various devices. Thank you.

Zero. Sympathy. They did this to themselves. Oh, and also? There definitely is an easy answer.

Kennedy insists his career as an antivaxxer can't be linked to disease outbreaks or children dying from preventable illness, because how can you prove it was HIS disinfo that led any particular parents to not vaccinate their kids? RFK Jr.'s Medical Misery Tour www.wonkette.com/p/rfk-jrs-me...

I'd been an Adobe user/lover/advocate since I learned Photoshop in 1994. No longer. I bailed on them 2 years ago for Affinity, who now also shoves AI in your face but still offers a full and free version without it. #AI #SnakeOil

If you like what happened in Virginia, you’re gonna love DC statehood

1/ I was planning to write the usual “health weather report” this week. But after what happened over the weekend, that didn’t feel right. The U.S. just experienced the deadliest mass shooting in more than two years, and no one is talking about it. But this NEEDS to be talked about🧵

WHERE'S *MY BAIL OUT? Where's my tariff refund check? Regular humans don't get bail-outs, only billionaires and their mega corporations.

So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out

All hail AOC, who remains the only person treating this administration appropriately.

I wrote this to help people understand that universal basic income is not meant to permanently replace all jobs. It's meant to be a floor below which no one can fall, and a dividend that universally distributes a share of our economy. It's meant to provide the power to say no and freedom to choose.
