Here’s a thought — Maybe these people don’t deserve to be handsomely rewarded? (From NPR)

Stephen Colbert is a national treasure: The day after his show was canned after 11 years by CBS to appease a tyrant, he shows up on the Monroe, MI public access channel where he did his first Late Show broadcast in 2015.

Yesterday, charges were dismissed for myself and five others protesting ICE. Yes, it was a win. But it’s not justice. And it’s not over yet.

If redistricting wasn’t about racism, someone please explain to me why only black communities were redistricted and white districts were left alone?

Ever notice how fast government can move when it wants to make things worse for people? Voting rights, abortion rights, pollution permits, war? It moves SO FAST. I dont remember the last time i saw government move fast to make our lives better. It drives me crazy.

Why this GOP Congress sucks...

You Go Jasmine Crockett 👏🏻......

Trump did not reach a settlement with the government. There was no case to settle. He has not created a slush fund. He has colluded with Todd Blanche to steal money from the US Treasury. This is not a “deal.” This is a crime for which Trump & Blanche must be prosecuted. It ia a crime.

The United States government just agreed to pay $1.8 billion to the United States president, approved by the president's own personal lawyer who represented him when he was convicted of 34 criminal counts. This is the biggest scandal in all of American political history.

🎶Where the hell is our Congress🎶 by Randy Rainbow just released today! Randy has outdone himself with this great video! It’s a mix of political news & musical parody! Sooo well done! I love it❣️ 👏👏👏👏👏😂👏👏👏👏👏 #SheShed #RandyRainbow #WhereTheHellIsOurCongress

Ring the bell because for the first time ever: Jim Cramer is stunned silent. Just like the rest of us, he’s seeing the President commit insider trading right in front of our very eyes.

So you CAN get reparations you just have to be a reactionary white person who tries to overthrow the government because black votes shouldn’t count

They're stealing billions of your money to pay off violent right-wing psychos while doing everything in their power to spike gas up to $5 a gallon, make groceries into a luxury and hand the country over to the oligarchs who want to permanently replace you.

No one in this regime will face federal criminal accountability unless we reform the Supreme Court first. That's what folks should be running on. That should be the lesson of the Jack Smith prosecutions: it doesn't matter who the AG is.

We are NOT being GOVERNED, WE ARE BEING LOOTED!

Why don’t people understand that our taxes fund the government and the government provides services in return?! Like that’s the way this whole deal is supposed to work!

This is why they really hate him — because he’s showing government can actually do good stuff for regular people

"Democratic governors and state legislators need to realize that this is no longer about fairness; it’s about fighting back so that they are not engineered out of the House forever. And I get that Dems don’t have the stomach for this kind of warfare--- find it."

ABSOLUTE 👇 TRUTH, JB.......

Trump threatened to nuke Iran during the same press event where he called a woman reporter "baby" and a "bitch" and we'll all just supposed to continue on tomorrow as though any of this insanity is normal or acceptable

Witnessing southern states rush to dismantle black voting power is truly truly some heartbreaking shit to behold

It’s staggering How swiftly states in the South can still move to stymie Black voters And how ready they were to do so

Question: Why would the Super Bowl ever come to a Jim Crow state that intentionally strips representation from Black people? cc: NFL

Public service is not always visible, but it is always vital. Your service matters, your work is valued, and your contributions are essential to building a stronger Illinois for today and for the future. Happy State Employee Recognition Day, Illinois.

The Supreme Court’s decision to gut the Voting Rights Act is an attack on our constitutional republic. Illinois will fight back, uphold our values, and safeguard democracy.

This Is ALL The Supremely Corrupt Court Does,Anymore.......

The supreme court betrayed Black voters, they betrayed America, and they betrayed our democracy.” - Barack Obama

Union soldiers died to end slavery. Marchers died to secure the vote. The Roberts Court decided their sacrifice didn’t matter.

I think more people are starting to realize that the Republican Party doesn't stand for anything except making its politicians and its donors richer.

I never want to vote against a Farm Bill. But this one failed our farmers — gutting conservation funding, ignoring devastating SNAP cuts, and missing critical investments in rural economies. Farmers in Central and Southern IL deserve better than this.

Kind of weird that the president is a rapist, and a court reaffirmed it, and everyone knows it, and we're all just going about our days like normal.

I so look forward to the day when I can turn on my TV and not hear his voice. Seriously, I dream of that day.

Has the Supreme Court ever previously struck down all or part of a duly-passed, constitutional law on the grounds that Justices feel like the law achieved its goals and feel like the goal would stay achieved without the law so therefore it shouldn’t be in force anymore? Because that’s legislative.

Absolute truth from Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist Mike Luckovich. We warned you. You did it anyway. At that one moment, all you had to do was check the right box for a thriving, peaceful and successful life. And now every decent American is under complete, life-threatening assault.

Absolutely! Two can play at this game.

We must call this for what it is: voter suppression that will silence Black and brown voters. The magnitude of this decision cannot be understated — it guts the Voting Rights Act and its very purpose of protecting all voices. Every American deserves an equal vote.

Today's Supreme Court decision reverses hard-won progress under the Voting Rights Act.

Can anyone guess which country will dominate the global auto industry going forward?

Answer: the men who got them pregnant kill them. Not top five. Not top three. Top.

Odd how just after the shooting attempt, the POTUS made a pitch for his 400+M ballroom, saying it is secure, yet has done nothing for every other American that is at risk from gun violence. If you ever needed a signal that it is truly them...and the rest of us. THIS IS IT!

The local laundromat here does the same. I picked up novel whilst waiting on Sunday morning, haven’t put it down since. 📖🤗

Funny how the media is just now "discovering" the trauma of a shooting where no one died, yet have been traumatizing elementary schoolers with active shooter drills for years.
