‼️THE SOUTH WILL NOT BE SILENCED‼️ Today’s march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge is a reminder that voting rights were paid for in blood. And now those same rights are under attack again. Next: Montgomery #AllRoadsLeadToTheSouth

"If they come for one of us, they come for all of us."

BREAKING: SB 2471 has been signed into law! It’s the first of its kind in the nation and renders the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision irrelevant in Hawaii. This is a win for the movement to get big money, especially dark money, out of politics.

Anyone remember determining who goes first by catching a baseball bat and using the hand over hand until one of you reaches and covers the knob? Somehow this race to pardon and pay out feels like a cascade that presumes they're going to lose the knob but are throwing all the fists they can.

this is obviously stupid but also "i should not have to see a black person in a position of power or influence" is a guiding belief of the trump administration

A massive 91-story, billion-dollar Trump Tower project in Australia was just completely cancelled. Why? The developer flat-out admitted that the Trump brand is officially "toxic." Hit the like button to celebrate the collapse of his brand! Read details here: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/trumps-bra...

As Gill points out, when Presidential immunity was being deliberated in 2024, Ketanji Brown Jackson asked "what the disincentive is from turning the Oval Office into the seat of criminal activity in this country?" The dollar amount is in the billions. With a 'b.' abcnews.com/US/trump-poi...

“We live in a homophobic society…if you think there are not more gay players in the NFL, Major League Baseball, and the NBA, you’re just stupid” - Charles Barkley saying the quiet part out loud. I fuckin cried. god bless him and Jason Collins.

As the war with Iran pushes its munitions stocks to dangerously low levels, the Defense Department has not signed new contracts to replenish its supplies, according to two U.S. officials and two people familiar with the matter.

Meanwhile, the NYT is reporting intelligence that shows official regime reports overplay damage to Iran missiles, underreport depletion of our strategic arms stockpile. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/12/u...

Duffy embarked on the all-expenses-paid Great American Road Trip, designed as a “guide to the historic landmarks, open roads, and small towns that tell 250 years of this country’s story.” But as the financing has come into view, the trip looks less like civic uplift than a rolling ethics problem.

Will America be Trump's 7th or 8th bankruptcy?

Michigan proved that when everyday people get relief from medical debt, entire communities benefit. Medicaid expansion reduced debt in collections and improved credit scores for working families. ihpi.umich.edu/news-events/...

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.

172 reports of sexual abuse and assault at the Tacoma’s Northwest ICE Detention Center. And instead of accountability, survivors were met with failed investigations, ignored evidence, and a system that protects private prisons over human lives.

Buckle up, folks. This likely means they expect prices to get much worse. Also: it would add an estimated $2.5 billion to the national debt every month.

Man it's been a decade this year.

The assaults on science and academia continue. In rather dramatic fashion.

Key words: “by the school.” In Hollywood 80 years ago, we had very clear ideas about how to treat HUAC lapdogs and informers. No one involved in this choice should hold a job in education ever again.

Octavius Catto was a scholar, a National Guard officer, & a champion of education, baseball, & voting rights. He was slain by white rioters targeting Black voters in Philadelphia on Election Day 1871. His body was laid in state & his funeral was the city's largest since Lincoln's.

Truly historic & moving scenes from the inaugural session of the Hungarian Parliament. A children’s tambura band from a tiny village playing a folk song often described as the unofficial Roma anthem. MPs were tearing up & so were many more of us watching. After all those years of hate. 🎥 telex.hu

Hungary’s parliament sings “Ode to Joy” — the anthem of Europe — after Péter Magyar is sworn in as prime minister. Hungary is once again a proud member of the European Union.

Right now, I'm holding on to the notion that only this cataclysm could shake the United States into finally reconciling its relationship with slavery/racism, its elevation of captialism over democracy, and that Trump's peculiar protection of fossil fuel will actual hasten petroleum's exit.

🧵 Tear gas is illegal in warfare per international law. There is no consistent regulation in the US. ICE has been deploying it readily, at close range, with vindictiveness...and in proximity to children. More important reporting from @propublica.org

The @pressfreedomtracker.us has recorded nearly 200 LAPD press freedom violations involving journalists. On May Day, reporters were handcuffed and struck with batons. With the World Cup coming to LA, FPF's @adamrose.bsky.social challenged LAPD to prevent an international incident. Watch ⬇️

If you thought gas prices were outrageous in California now, they’re about to get even higher. The LAST Middle East oil tanker is arriving in California. #TrumpsGasFailure

Pretty cool how one side gets to cheat and the other isn’t allowed to win fairly

yes. change the statute on which this decision turned and redistrict according to the legitimacy conferred by the people of the state

Speaking of that hyperscale data center collaboration brewing between UMich and Los Alamos, which they are calling an AI research center, some interesting fallout from the Musk/Altman court case.

One side is like “can we disenfranchise all the Black voters by this weekend” and the other is like gotta follow the rules that govern the rules that control the rulebook

🇪🇸 Spain's electricity in 2000: 56% fossil, 2% solar & wind. By 2026: 44% solar & wind, just 17% fossil. The crossover came in 2023. Gas now sets the price only 15% of the time vs 89% in Italy. More in my forthcoming Substack newsletter 👇 janrosenow.substack.com

Farm bankruptcies spiked 46% in 2025.

Actually I don't find it funny at all. We've wasted $72 billion, seriously made life harder and more expensive for those in our country that can least afford it. It's a debacle that infuriates me.

Protesters are singing civil rights songs in the Tennessee Senate State and Local Government Committee.

Imagine that. The lawless criminal and pathological liar was lying.
