It’s happening again.

Wow, Trump suggested today that he would do a threesome with two of his sons. WTAF. #politics #USA

In this world, nobody gets weight loss medication, no new innovative cancer drugs, no new crop science, because some piece of shit sues researchers for studying venom or bees or really anything we are curious about. #ScienceSky 🧪 #AgSky #Medsky

The Fort Smith Museum of History is being lambasted by MAGA for not hosting a visit by one of Trump’s Freedom 250 Trucks. Support the museum, please. talkbusiness.net/2026/06/fort.... #Arkansas #history #politics #USA #semiquincentennial #Freedom250 #resistance

I have interviewed senators, state and US reps. I don’t get starstruck, but I was tonight for the 1st time. Shook both their hands. I got a little tear. #ChrisforAR #PeteButtigieg #Arkansas #politics #USA

Waiting for Pete, Chris Jones in Little Rock. Big crowd in Dreamland Ballroom. #PeteButtigieg #politics #USA #Juneteenth #Arkansas #ChrisJones

Trump refusing to renew FISA or let his DNI nom go forward, weakening his own national security authority to protect the USA. Reminds me of Bart threatening to shoot himself to hold off townspeople. "Hold it! Next man makes a move, the n**** gets it!"* #politics #USA

Wow, Lonoke here in Arkansas had a stealth tornado last night that had a number of characteristics that kept in undetectable by radar. A 1/1,000 thing. #ARWX #Arkansas #tornado

@jamellebouie.net Brilliant column today. We need to start having We the People’s Conventions modeled after ‘The Colored Conventions.

Jamelle Bouie nails it again. We need a progressive Reconstruction Congress to reassert the dominant authority the Founders gave the body. Push back on the other branches. Read these please. #USA #politics #Congress www.nytimes.com/2026/06/03/o...

“I sit on a man’s back, choking him and making him carry me, and yet assure myself and others that I am very sorry for him and wish to ease his lot by all possible means – except by getting off his back.” -Leo Tolstoy

So true it hurts

Trump is what happens when a bunch of slave owners set up a government to protect their wealth by establishing elite rule through the Senate, Electoral College, and no one fixing it for 250 years

1 way to get around this gerrymandering would be to eliminate districts. State has 4 u.s. rep seats. 10 people run. Top 4 get elected. Would require an amendment but it might mean better chances for minority parties are represented in each state. #politics #USA #Congress #Constitution

Tomorrow is Memorial Day. I genuinely honor our soldiers and veterans. My ancestors served in every major US conflict through WW2. Too bad Trump deploys them so recklessly and thinks they’re‘suckers.’ #politics #USA #MemorialDay #military

The story of Chesser and Holly, an interracial same-sex marriage in 1888 Fort Smith, Arkansas. Part 2 posts Wednesday. open.substack.com/pub/thearkan... #LGBTQ+ #race #marriage #interracial #transgender #Arkansas #FortSmith #GildedAge

On May 10, 1888, James Chesser & Georgeanna Holly were wed — a same-sex interracial marriage in Fort Smith, Arkansas. Marriage recorded May 11. Read my Substack Saturday to learn more. #LGBTQ+ #FortSmith #Arkansas #AfricanAmerican #marriage

@jamellebouie.net Loved your most recent column re. Callais decision. I have tried to engage individuals in discussion of constitutional change with mixed success. Would a virtual or inperson shadow convention reacquaint Americans w/constitutional thinking? #constitution #SCOTUS #USA #constitution

Arkansas govt. has historically underinvested in its people. Thx State Rep. Hudson for speaking about how they’re doing it again. We have a guv who cares more about an elite who don’t even live here. #politics #Arkansas #government www.facebook.com/share/p/19if...

SCOTUS has historically been an impediment to freedom— Dred Scott, Slaughterhouse cases, Plessy. There is Obergfell and Brown but I think those are the exceptions. The Louisiana decision recently is more in line with history. #SCOTUS #USA #politics #PackTheCourt

I believe the earlier attempts on Trump probably weren’t staged, but this one smells. He hasn’t been to the dinner as president before, it’s full of press and his numbers are the lowest ever. Remarks by Leavitts suspicious too. Conspiracy skeptic now conspiracy-curious. #assassination #politics #USA

“Women did not join in the act of constructing the Constitution. I and others of my sex find ourselves controlled by a form of government in the inauguration of which we had no voice.” — Victoria Woodhull #AmendArticleV #constitution #USA #politics

This probably sounds kooky but Marbury v. Madison was wrong. Judicial review by SCOTUS is unconstitutional. Madison believed in Constitutional amendment to resolve constitutional issues. Make amendments easier. #AmendArticleV #SCOTUS #USA #constitution #politics

“The constitution of the United States bestows prerogatives upon the president, which might deprive the people of all liberty, the moment they should become indifferent enough to allow it.” — Francis Lieber #AmendArticleV #politics #constitution #president #USA

W.E.B. Du Bois: No more idiotic program could be laid down than to require a people to follow a written rule of government 90 years old, if that rule had been definitely broken in order to preserve the unity of the government and to destroy an economic anachronism. #AmendArticleV #Constitution #USA

I’m so tired of hearing Trump will withdraw USA from NATO. He can remove troops but treaty withdrawal requires a 2/3 Senate majority. Please mention this every time it’s brought up. Sigh. #politics #USA #Trump #NATO

I’m interested in starting a discussion about the need for US constitutional change. I’ve created a subreddit to facilitate that. Please join me there if you have an interest in the topic. www.reddit.com/r/SecondCons...

Stating the obvious: No African-Americans or women had any say in the drafting or the amendments of the Constitution until the 20th century. Yet, they were and are ruled by it. #USA #AmendArticleV #politics #Constitution

New York’s 1846 constitution, for example, decreed that voters be asked, every twenty years, “Shall there be a convention to revise the constitution and amend the same?” Brilliant and we should have this option nationally, too. #AmendArticleV #USA #politics #Constitution

Abolishing the Electoral College in 1787 and electing the president by popular vote would have meant a loss of political power for both small states and slave states. It would also have rewarded states with the broadest electorate. #AmendArticleV so we can easily amend the #Constitution.

We, the people—not we, the white people, not we, the citizens, or the legal voters—not we, the privileged class, and excluding all other classes but we, the people; not we, the horses and cattle, … we the men and women, the human inhabitants of the United States. — Frederick Douglass #Constitution

Bluesky is the platform I choose for political expression. I rarely mix my media otherwise. BUT I need to at least mention the launch of my substack. #Substack #history #Arkansas #FortSmith #LittleRock substack.com/@arsawyr?r=g...

Madison believed that Article V was a sufficient remedy to the problem of one generation of men binding another: the next generation of men could always amend. Most written constitutions don’t last; average lifespan is 19 years. #constitution #USA #politics #AmendArticleV

Arkansas is a red state but progressives live, love, work AND protest here, too. #Arkansawyers #Arkansas #NoKings #USA #politics

Gathering in Little Rock. Beautiful weather. #NoKings #politics #USA #AmendArticleV

Article V, in short, was saddled with the three most fateful compromises of the convention. It protected the slave trade. It granted both small states and slave states disproportionate power over the amendment process. #USA #AmendArticleV #politics

The Constitutional Convention (con-con) was called to meet a crisis. The Articles of Confederation for all practical purposes couldn’t be amended and Shay’s Rebellion was a crisis. We are in crisis again. We need to Amend Article V to make it easier to make changes. #AmendArticleV #politics #USA

“Whatever veneration might be entertained for the body of men who formed our Constitution, the sense of that body could never be regarded as the oracular guide in expounding the Constitution.” — James Madison #constitution #AmendArticleV #USA #politics

“If the policy of the Government upon vital questions affecting the whole people is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court, the people will have ceased to be their own rulers…” A. Lincoln #politics #USA #constitution

The U.S. Constitution was itself an act of amendment. It was written because the existing frame of government, the Articles of Confederation, were technically amendable but, for all practical purposes, not. — Jill Lepore, “We the People.” #politics #USA #constitution

Amend Article V of the U.S. Constitution so it’s easier to amend it. Our system has so many checks we have no balance. Rely on SCOTUS too much. #politics #SCOTUS #Constitution

Miss me now? #politics #USA #Biden #Iran

SCOOP: At more than 30 military installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation tells me it’s been “inundated” with complaints from more than 110 service members. One NCO said their commander told them today that the U.S. war
