Dems have to embrace gerrymandering so long as the GOP is willing to behave a pre-Voting Rights Act party of racial tyranny

(this was the night before the vote) But I'm sure ALL the justices were invited, right 🫠

It’s ok to strongly dislike Netanyahu. Hell, it’s ok to strongly dislike Israel as a whole. It’s not ok to blame all Jewish people for the actions of Bibi or Israel. That’s like blaming all Christians because Donald Trump is an asshole.

Happy dog

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power. The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever. But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

These people are seriously mentally ill, degenerate, and morally reprehensible. These people 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 are the greatest danger to a humane and functioning society.

The same day SCOTUS dismantled the Voting Rights Act, I watched Kamala Harris take the stage at the Douglas Awards. She didn’t offer comfort; she offered real talk 🔥 “This is how they play. They are strategic. They think long-term and they are ruthless…we have to be ruthless too.”

This all looks really bad but it will be so bad that I still think this ends with: 1) A larger House 2) Non partisan redistricting 3) Proportional representation When? I don't know, sometime in the next 10-15 years.

Mike Vrabel could shoot someone on 5th avenue and not lose a lick of support from Patriots fans.

When the cartoon replaces all the words ...

I support the hell out of people showing their power to defy and strike at the oligarchy on May Day. But a lot of folks can’t afford to lose a day’s pay right now, and that’s exactly the problem. Do what you can. Speak up. Show up however you’re able. That still counts. #MayDay

Jets and Sharks. Good morning Blue Sky

We’re not forgetting. Keep talking about the Epstein files‼️ #SheShed

Last time I had to triple check something like this was the Luka Doncic trade

This is a bloodbath. Usually my teams are on the wrong end of this. #Knicks

Talking the price of tuna

dems have nominated a decorated military vet, an experienced pol with the "right" resume, a "serious" policy wonk. they all lost. when did they win? when the candidate had grassroots excitement or when the candidate was the politician most closely associated with the exciting guy.

This is antisemitic. “And I stand by it!” We know.

It annoys me when the NY Times confers philosophical legitimacy on a ruling that was purely political and was designed to rob Black people of voting power.

The John Roberts Court has done more to reduce the political power of poor people and Black people while enlarging the voting rights of rich people and corporations than has any court since Roger Taney was Chief Justice in the 1800s. I opposed his nomination in 2005, and I stand by that.

It's not even 6:30 in the morning and I am already filled with rage reading through the news. This is not normal and we should not have to live like this.

🤣🤣🤣🤮

The New York Times did this

So many people urge us to vote if we are dissatisfied with our democracy. And yes voting matters. But as today’s Supreme Court ruling tells us, it’s not that simple. Not everyone who should have the right to vote can exercise that right.

Democrats tell us all the time they can’t do things because the parliamentarian wrote it down in invisible ink while republicans just do stuff. And the only response is to vote harder next time. I’m fucking tired.

They are all bad faith actors. You get it now, Democrats? You can't be civil. You have to take them on, flex, fight, win and move forward with the majority.

A black girl born today will have fewer reproductive and voting rights than her grandmother.

My Threads feed is full of Black folks absolutely gutted and despairing over today’s Voting Rights Act ruling. I love Bluesky for so much, but today is one of those historical moments where it is stark that we really live in two different Americas.

This is not an exaggeration. Alex Jones is allegedly bankrupt but has an infinite well of dark money to pay lawyers, sell pills, and harangue judges and the parents of dead kids. This stay must be lifted so we can take over, and I hope journalists look into where he's getting and stowing his money.

Jeffries says everything is on the table legislatively to deal with the Supreme Court: In the new Congress, we’re going to have to do something about this Supreme Court, and let me be very clear: everything is on the table.

“We all need to play by the same set of rules” - @aoc.bsky.social

I say it again and again: Because we don’t learn the real history of this country, we do not understand what this country is capable of. After 1870, 22 Black men served in Congress. By 1901, because of racist SCOTUS rulings, electoral coups and election cheating and violence, there were none.

We must understand the racist political rhetoric, the erasure and attacks on Black history, the reinstalling of Confederate names and monuments, all go hand-in-hand as the Court and Congress legitimize the taking of political rights and the end of multiracial democracy itself.

The Voting Rights Act is essentially dead and it’s quite possible that we will, like when a similar SCOTUS gutted civil rights at the fall of Reconstruction, see a disappearance of much of the Black congressional representation, especially in the most heavily Black states, which are in the South.

SCOTUS rules 6-3 against a majority Black district in LA represented by Black Rep Cleo Fields, holding that the district is a “racial gerrymander.” This is systemic white supremacy. Next Dem pres & Congress must expand the Court, impose term limits & prosecute corrupt justices. Complete overhaul.

Don't judge until you try it

#JonathanRoss where are you!?

Can you imagine going back to 1776 and telling the Founding Fathers that in 250 years, the King of England would be standing in the United States Capitol lecturing American lawmakers about the importance of democratic norms?

Republicans want out of Trump's war — but they're trapped #AlterNet

This is astoundingly funny in that it means you are stupid enough to think he was celebrating a FAILED assassination attempt where no one died

Dc press corps like the DC Dems is obsessed with this idea of treating an abnormal as hell White House like they’re perfectly normal guys

The dumb part is @samsteindc.bsky.social saying they can trust this White House like they believe in legitimate journalism at this point. Like what the fuck are we doing here?
