From our newsletter - vote strategically.

SATURDAY: We’re joining Black-led civil and voting rights organizations for a national day of action. In Alabama, there will be a big rally at the state capitol in Montgomery. We will not stand by while Republicans rip away representation from Black communities: blackpowerwarroom.com/dayofaction/

Republicans just got some bad news about their plan to shovel $70 billion more to the regime’s secret police. We know that nobody wants more of their tax dollars going to ICE and Border Patrol. Democrats must keep holding the line.

Incredible community note.

The president’s mental health is a global crisis.

Live now: Democrats hold a shadow hearing to expose Epstein’s crime ring and the corruption that continues to enable perpetrators to escape justice.

Oversight Dems are in Palm Beach, just miles from the Epstein estate where so many horrific crimes took place. It’s shameful that not a single Republican joined us.

Today's elections are in Nebraska and West Virginia. On the ballot in Nebraska is a constitutional amendment that would extend state legislative terms, and in WV a state ballot measure that would make it harder to vote. Go to your states voting website to see your voting rights and where to vote!

Crucial point from @brianbeutler.bsky.social: Dems must proceed as if there is *nothing* Republican judges won't do, no matter how corrupt and contrary to law, to assist in the right wing's illicit consolidation of power. (Discusses my reporting on Virginia) www.offmessage.net/p/a-terrible...

We wrote letters on her behalf with @raicestexas.bsky.social. So glad to see her go home. #AbolishICE

Absolutely hilarious work and impersonation of Kash Patel by SNL and Aziz Ansari

“To prevent Republican authoritarianism, California and other blue states will need to completely dismantle state obstacles to partisan map drawing — and they must be willing to follow Virginia Democrats' example of going all in….

ABOLISH ICE. May Day march - about to step off at Chicago's Union Park. #MayDayChicago

We’re putting Trump, corporations, and billionaires on notice and reminding them that the real power in this country lies with the people. #MayDay

Could someone please tell me why the judge restricting mifepristone isn’t the lead story every where? They are escalating their assault on control of women’s bodies! www.nbcnews.com/health/women...

May Day, also known as International Workers’ Day, has long been associated with labor organizing and, in the U.S., immigrant rights demonstrations. Bay Area protests were held Friday in San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, San Jose, Palo Alto, Santa Rosa, Alameda and other cities.

New from me and Michael G Miller at Slate on what Shelby County can tell us about how Callais might play out The key? We need to be focused at the LOCAL LEVEL

Barbara Arnwine: John Lewis coined that mighty phrase, Good Trouble! The act of coming together to take peaceful nonviolent action to challenge injustice. The power of collective direct action resulted in the passage of the VRA in 1965 and today that same collective action can protect voting rights
