It's May of 2026 and the Voting Rights Bill has been gutted, Is Segregation next or will they just go all the way and try to repeal the 14th Amendment and strip people of their citizenship?

The Supreme Court’s claims that racial discrimination in voting is no longer a problem are contradicted by clear evidence. bit.ly/3QIYd5B

Our existence as free people is the provocation that centrists think we should pull back on

There was a quote that said something like Black people worship a Jesus who knows what it's like to be lynched, while white people worship a Jesus who will forgive them for being part of a lynch mob.

People who continually want to forget two weeks ago if it makes them uncomfortable are ill equipped to deal with people who fight is based on , death in the soil, blood in the water and fire in the sky

Hiding data and statistics is something all authoritarian regimes do. They are afraid that data will show that they are failing in governance or cheating in elections, wasting or stealing taxpayer money etc, and that knowledge will give power to the people to challenge their power.

Maybe. I’ve told my white friends when segregation comes back don’t call me anymore.

You have to tell people what you want them to do. Most aren't going to do it but at least they will know what was asked of them.

“Counterterrorism” now officially means targeting trans people www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/05/coun...

Just reminding everyone that Black political representation has material effects on policy. It’s so effective that the last time Black politicians were run out of office (Reconstruction), it was with violent force. They paid with their lives for their success. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

as per melissa's thread, it is really important to understand that a major goal of this administration is the resegregation of key institutions of american society

Prime with ads. Just how Kubrick intended.

Please help the Lakota youth defend Pe'Sla (near Mt. Rushmore) from graphite/oil extraction! This is a sacred site to them, like Mt. Rushmore was before the faces were carved into it. Prevent history from being destroyed! News channels won't cover it (May 2026)

This is devastating. Just devastating. "Many observers rightly warn that Callais threatens minority representation in Congress. But minority voters' power on school boards and city councils is no less consequential and may be at even greater risk."

Really impressed by an attorney’s voir dire question I heard this week: “Do any of you have any bumper stickers on your car?” And any prospective juror that raised their hand, he asked what they said. Absolutely brilliant. Tells you so much about a person.

I keep thinking about the ease with which they cancelled elections over the last 24 hours

Mound Bayou, a self-sufficient Black town in Mississippi founded by formerly enslaved people that thrived for decades. Mamie Till was famously protected there as she sought justice for her son. Today, White South Africans are displacing those descendants www.clarionledger.com/story/news/2...

Emails released on Monday by California’s attorney general show Amazon allegedly colluding with other companies to raise the prices of pet treats, khaki pants, eyedrops and other products sold online

A trans woman was tracked and monitored using AI technology at a Knicks game just for being trans. This isn't 1940's Germany this is right now www.wired.com/story/madiso...

"Haha I'm using dinosaurs as FUEL! Who's the apex predator now?" "Petroleum is actually from plant matter." "No! You're telling me...?" "Diesel is vegan, yes."

Listening to a dude at work talk about how much better it is to drive a car fueled by diesel and how emasculating it is to drive an EV. Truly, men are broken.

Night night.

Apparently justices of the Supreme Court have no special competence in recognizing practices that are not only emphatically not rooted in medical evidence, but which constitute torture.

I listened to a podcast about orcas and how scientists have discovered that orcas, like humans, go through menopause.... and suddenly that whole 'orcas eat the rich' meme makes sooooo much sense. Those orcas DO NOT CARE. And they are DONE with injustice. And also, WHY IS THE OCEAN SO HOT?!?!

A viral dog rescue from 2016 is now immortalized with a statue in Kazakhstan. When a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir, bystanders formed a human chain to pull him to safety. The statue is a reminder of the value of unity, solidarity and collective action. 14/10 for all

Fascinating new study about men’s friendships. There’s a lot of evidence here that the “male loneliness crisis” is actually a white, wealthy man problem. Other men are building friendships with similar depth to women’s friendships.

Since the vast majority — if not all — consumer routers are manufactured outside the United States, the vast majority of future consumer routers are now banned.

Dems need to be on every news channel saying this. Everyday. All day.

Trump has BANKRUPTED the United States. We don’t have any money. The majority of our taxes are going to paying off debt liabilities. He is ONE YEAR IN OFFICE and has SKYROCKETED the national debt. Our GDP cannot fix this. Our taxes cant fix this. Hell, a WAR cant fix it.
