"A sci-fi novel about a group of young, renegade creative types committing an act of mass sabotage by blowing up data centers to liberate us from the tyranny of heartless technology feels very of the moment."

That looks ridiculous.

💯

Worth revisiting today:

Today, Virginia’s courts directly undermined the will of the people, who voted for the ballot measure to determine their own future. Make no mistake, this is the fight of our generation—but the fight is bigger than one state or one ruling. There are difficult days ahead, but we won’t back down!

They’re still working on it. Two weeks.

How the fuck does the GOP explain this? www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Just in at #SCOTUS: Alabama is asking the justices for emergency relief by next Thursday to allow the state to re-draw its congressional maps in light of Callais (and notwithstanding the Supreme Court's 2023 decision affirming the district court injunctions from which Alabama is now seeking relief).

So Texas, Florida, Missouri, North Carolina, and Tennessee can redraw districts without a referendum and that stands, but when Virginia lets voters decide directly at the ballot box, it gets overturned?

Good. More evidence that Trump's enablers are cracking.

Reminder... Any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message — they can't win on their ideas alone.

Beat them at the ballot box anyway.

😕🇺🇸 Yeah @marenmorris.bsky.social gets it

To slightly adapt Orwell: The Supreme Court told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was its final, most essential command.

There is no clearer case for the necessity of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 than how quickly southern states moved to eliminate Black-majority districts and dilute Black power after SCOTUS eroded Section 2. SCOTUS’s reasoning was immediately disproven by reality.

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

Standing with everyone in TN, AL, MS, LA, FL, SC, & others in the fight to protect voting rights in the wake of last week’s devastating decision. We know there are difficult days ahead, but we must continue to organize & fight back in the courts, our communities, our legislatures, & in Congress.

BREAKING: In a loss for Democrats, the Virginia Supreme Court ruled the congressional map voters approved last month to counter GOP gerrymanders cannot go into effect. The decision overturns the will of voters for technical reasons and gives Republicans a leg up for the 2026 midterms.

The Virginia Supreme Court decision to strike down the will of the people is just one example of the two-tiered system destroying our country. Gerrymandering is a cancer, but it’s just the beginning. Here's on how the GOP is planning to steal the 2026 election and install fascism in America.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court of Virginia on Friday struck down the voter-approved redistricting amendment, upholding a lower court ruling that declared the measure unconstitutional less than 24 hours after the special election and briefly halted its implementation. virginiamercury.com/2026/05/08/s...

Accurate Edit for Clarity: "He should live long enough to... be held accountable for his... crimes." Actually, I was wishing him the opposite of dead, but apologize if you found the image inappropriate. 💙-mh

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

This is 100% true.

At this point, I think he is just trolling us.

Someone is insider trading on crude oil shorts using Iran War announcements from the White House…and making a LOT of money. You better bet we’ll be investigating ⬇️

For his entire life, every word out of his mouth has been a lie. And the media stopped caring a long time ago that he lies as he breathes. Hopefully one day soon the American people will say they’re tired of being lied to every single day.

This is exactly why we need DOJ reform to be *codified in law,* as I argued in this piece, and as Adam Schiff and others told me in interviews. The old post-Watergate norms-based approach is dead. newrepublic.com/article/2099...

There is something deeply pathological about Chief Justice Roberts insisting the Supreme Court isn’t political while sitting atop the most ideological supermajority in modern history.

here's today's post: "what kind of shithole country wastes a billion taxpayer dollars on a gaudy Epstein Dance Hall?" — nobody asked for this. thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter to keep getting the good stuff —

It happened again. The most corrupt administration in history.

This is hypocrisy at its finest. Trump's gold-encrusted ballroom has gone from costing $200 million funded by shady donors to $1 BILLION from TAXPAYERS—snuck into the ICE bill by Senate Republicans. But Trump wants to prosecute Powell for cost overruns of the Fed's renovation.

Only one strand of the hantavirus—the Andes subtype—is known to spread from person to person, and it has a 40% mortality rate.

Everything was so nice before that piece of shit came down the escalator.

Interesting. This must be a new kind of chess where you compete to put the pieces back where they were before you smacked them off the board.
