Virginia Gov @abigailspanberger.com and Democratic legislature should pass immediate legislation to redistrict anyway. If the old confederate states can do it post Callais - so can Dems in Virginia if they care about saving our democracy.

When asked about rising gas prices, MAGA Millionaire Mike Rogers said we'll be “fine." Michigan's families are paying more at the pump because of Trump's illegal war. We can't laugh it off like you can, Mike.

Trump administration do literally one thing that is not flagrantly illegal or immoral or corrupt challenge; level impossible apparently

Really wish some person or org could make 17-year-old 5-star football recruits understand the potential political power they hold by simply refusing to go play In states that disenfranchise black voters.

State supreme court justices play a critical role in defending your rights and freedoms, which is why the election happening in Georgia right now is so important. Make sure you have a plan to vote for Jen Jordan and Miracle Rankin.

I don’t think Americans with hypertension and various other treatable conditions deserve to die. Sorry to get so partisan, but that’s how I feel.

And I implore everyone on BlueSky and beyond to understand the FBI’s refusal to investigate—at all—Renee Good’s death should be understood as racialized mechanism to police white allies of Black and Brown people. You have to see a name a Redeemer Project.

When the Trump administration cut off food aid to one of the world’s largest refugee camps, it left hundreds of thousands of people to starve. This is the story of one mother’s daily battle to keep her three young sons alive. From our “The End of Aid” series, a 2026 Pulitzer finalist:

Every journalist should be asking what the hell is going on with this guy's health that they aren't telling us.

RIP Project Freedom (5/4/26 — 5/5/26)

The Supreme Court is trying to *fast track* the elimination of Black Congresspeople in the upcoming midterms. Its destruction of the Voting Rights Act has devolved into a pure political power play for Republicans BY the Republicans on the Court. I explain in @thenation.com

Have you noticed? Tom Steyer’s campaign account only goes after Democrats, not his Republican opponents, Brexit champ Steve Hilton, or his homie, ballot thief Chad Bianco.

Re-posting as Secretary of State Rubio has just falsely asserted that the War Powers Resolution is "100% unconstitutional" and every U.S. president has recognized it as such. Nope.

Whenever I encounter Matt Taibbi being humilaired

A Harvard study just published estimates Elon Musk's destruction of USAID has already caused 600,000 deaths 2/3 of them children. That is his legacy in this world.

A hearty and extremely loud fuck you to all the people who said we were being overly dramatic when we said republicans were going to take your vote away/ make your vote not matter and entrench a permanent R majority with the blessing of the Supreme Court

Thread. Our history has demanded everyone but straight white Christians show grace to those who've embraced outright or symbols of hate. We are expected to forgive and excuse. Reciprocity however, has rarely if ever existed. And we're saying no.

This is appalling and alarming, and the Supreme Court is not only largely to blame, but all but blessed it last night.

This line in particular makes me feel ill: "The dissent would require that the 2026 congressional elections in Louisiana be held under a map that has been held to be unconstitutional." SCOTUS' Republican majority has long required elections to be held under illegal maps—when it hurts Dems.

Melissa Hortman DIED at the point of a MAGA gun. And these bastards won't even acknowledge it.

We are witnessing a catastrophic collision between unchecked narcissism and obvious neurological decay. It is the most dangerous intersection in American history: a man with the absolute power of the Presidency and the absolute cognitive failure of a person no longer tethered to reality.

Saying this now, just in case - - New Yorkers hated Giuliani on 9/10, couldn't wait to get rid of him - Giuliani was in the street on 9/11 bc the Command Center at 7WTC was destroyed (he put it there to be near Judi Nathan) - Giuliani killed 343 firemen by forcing cheap radios on them

We went from "armed gunman mere seconds away from shooting the president is killed by Secret Service" to "guy with a shotgun falls down on a different floor well outside the entrance of the ballroom and we can't find the bullets because that just happens sometimes" awfully fast.

No restaurant has ever asked for my ID when I can in. These Trump people never stop lying. They are a blight.

Exactly. He got the America he voted for. 🤷🏼‍♀️

But I was told we needed to tone down the rhetoric

Alito has now written two opinions drastically limiting the fundamental rights of ethnic minorities and women, which was the kind of thing you would have expected from a guy angry about both groups being admitted to Princeton, something known at his confirmation www.nytimes.com/2005/11/27/p...

The editorial cartoonist's pen is one of the sharpest tools in journalism, whittling issues down to basics for satire or rage. I'm proud to say that my long-ago colleague, Milt Priggee, is unafraid to shock with a tough point of view.

a more aggressive Democratic party would indeed be nice www.offmessage.net/p/dnc-sue-cb...

The Fifth Circuit just told millions of women that three judges know better than the FDA, their doctors, and 25 years of evidence. They don't. This restriction on medication abortion is a nationwide abortion restriction, full stop. I have no intention of letting this stand.

The overriding goal of America's right wing is to restore chattel slavery so they can own Black people. That's it. Whether they will admit it or not, whether they'll even admit it to themselves, their goal is legal domination and subjugation through violence of Black people. Everything leads there.

BREAKING: We're suing Louisiana officials for suspending the state's primary election after voting has already begun. On the heels of a Supreme Court decision that eviscerated protections for voters of color, elected officials jumped at the chance to disenfranchise people — we won't allow it.

A message on a Colorado school shooter's shoe makes clear the teen was deeply entrenched in online extremist networks and that his radicalization was central to his attack, experts say. "We need to think about how male supremacism and violent misogyny are dangerous ideologies in their own right.”

We are doing nationwide injunctions again I guess, in order to turn national law into Louisiana law. apnews.com/article/abor...

Wrote a piece for @slate.com on how our theories of partisan polarization gave the SCOTUS majority more intellectual cover to kill the VRA slate.com/news-and-pol...

NASA’s JUNO dropped new image from Jupiter

In the 24 hours since the Supreme Court's majority ruled to demolish the Voting Rights Act's remaining protections, Louisiana and Tennessee have already signaled that they'll redraw their congressional maps with the clear effect of shutting Black voters out.

One of the points of overturning Chevron, we were told, was to force Congress to write clearer statutes. The VRA is pretty clear. And that still didn't stop the Court's conservatives from substituting its preferred reading.

Given the argument that ended the VRA, I think it’s time liberals did some self reflection about the now decades long obsession with partisan polarization as the problem, as opposed to authoritarianism, extremism, oligarchy, and racism

as long as john roberts has his majority, there is simply no pro democracy reform that will survive the supreme court. none.

THIS is how all elected Democrats need to be talking and acting. Being "the bigger person" is not what's called for here. SCOTUS made the president legally a KING while Biden was still in office because they knew he'd never take advantage. They're onto us and it's defeating us.
