Great thread.

the more this conspiracy-inflected thinking permeates both sides of the political spectrum, the more power you give, ironically, to the very plutocrats you’re trying to stop A grand conspiracy of the wealthy and connected is a force so vast, most folks are liable to give up but also: it’s not real

look how much craftsmanship we've lost in clothing in just a hundred years

Great (and scary) thread on insurance.

ICE is targeting press outside Delaney Hall

Reporter: Ken Paxton has taken to calling you ‘Talafreako’ @JamesTalarico: If Ken Paxton is worried about freaks, he should stop giving Epstein-style sweetheart deals to pedophiles. This is the guy who just released Adam Hoffman from jail, an admitted child rapist.

Shocking, totally inappropriate interference with DOJ from the White House. Add it to the long list of Trump's impeachable offenses. And impeach his DOJ appointees too, while you're at it.

An incredible photo. An exemplary senator.

I get that, but for the folks who wonder why I’m always harping on the far left of the Democratic Party, Talarico now has to answer for a lot of stuff he said to play to that group that is going to hurt him in the general, including a welcome mat at the border.

Packing the Supreme Court after we take power is like responsive gerrymandering. We need to do it because the other side already did, and they will wipe out our rights if we don’t answer their aggression. Video: buff.ly/tfiNYkY

Just when you thought you'd seen it all

This is indeed false. The amount of AI slop turning up these days is impossible to keep up with.

Contaminated food, rancid water, and no access to health care — these are the horrifying conditions at the Delaney Hall detention facility, where ICE agents pepper sprayed Senator Andy Kim for trying to do his job.

Neat thread.

“It’s just burning. I just wanted to try to keep people safe.” ICE fired pepper spray at Senator Andy Kim and protesters outside a detention facility in New Jersey. Not another penny should go to these out-of-control agencies — and when we regain power, we will hold all of these thugs accountable.

Thread.

The state of Michigan spent a good amount of time 15-20 years ago disenfranchising Black Detroiters, Flint, Benton Harbor, etc… Black Michigan. Dismantling Black Michigan’s political power has been an extremely successful project. Yes, this is part of national and global projects but IS specific.

I feel like Indiana hates Indianapolis—but it’s a Republican thing. Indy gets lambasted for its potholes, but the taxes of people who work in Indy but live in, say, Carmel, stay in Carmel (the opposite of many other states).

Actually, while everyone here has been arguing over how Tyler Austin Harper is a pretentious class traitor who should not be writing about beer or anything else, I've been watching the meltdown as Trump finalizes an American surrender to Iran.

Fuck these people.

The DNC’s 2024 autopsy should be a wakeup call for all of us.

After manufacturing a humanitarian crisis on the island, it looks like the regime is preparing for an invasion of Cuba. Email your Members of Congress and demand no war, no blockade, and no collective punishment against Cuba: act.indivisible.org/sign/tell-co...

I have work to do today, so I can't post this three million times, but ONE MORE TIME It's not about winning votes from MAGA areas. It's about peeling off gettable voters that would either go to the GOP or stay home. This thumb-sucking about how you're never going win rural Idaho is a dodge.

Dems should all get a sticker that says "Howard was right"

finish them

Tennessee plans to execute a man this morning. And if that happens, it will be an absolute travesty. theintercept.com/2026/05/20/t...

Rep. Barney Frank was a champion for the American people. He tirelessly fought to protect consumers after the Great Recession, and his courage to be one of the first openly gay members of Congress was critical to the fight for marriage equality. Sending my prayers to his family.

Jon Ossoff has stood up for working Georgians while holding this administration accountable for their brazen corruption. Georgia needs to keep a fighter like him in Washington. The DNC is ready to organize, mobilize, and do whatever it takes to send Jon back to the Senate.

Trump did not reach a settlement with the government. There was no case to settle. He has not created a slush fund. He has colluded with Todd Blanche to steal money from the US Treasury. This is not a “deal.” This is a crime for which Trump & Blanche must be prosecuted. It ia a crime.

Pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.

Republicans invented a partisan procedural tool to confirm executive nominees as a block, without the consent or agreement of Democrats. Just remember: political power changes. And a Democratic President and Senate will have this tool.

Look who I ran into in Montgomery! Newly Indivisible endorsed candidate for congress from Tennessee @justinjpearson.bsky.social!

Where we are in a nutshell.

This you, @colorado.gov?

This is awful. Jesus. These funds have saved people from getting evicted, fired, and losing custody of their kids. (Also, just to be clear, it doesn’t criminalize the funds’ existence, but it makes them subject to federal insurance regulations, which will effectively kill many of them.)

I'm dying. (Skip to 0:30 if you're impatient.)

Of course it was him.

I want to raise this alarm, too. I’m writing more extensively about it today. And we need to fight back with all we have. Link: www.democracydocket.com/.../the-gop-...

The president’s mental health is a global crisis.

I really can’t state strongly enough how utterly stupid this is. Once you eliminate taxes for a class you will never be able to bring them back. And it WILL domino. Eliminating taxes and privatizing everything is the republicans’ end goal. Do not help them!!!

Mississippi State Auditor Shad White says redistricting isn't just about partisan politics; it's about making sure "Bennie Thompson and Hakeem Jeffries are not in charge."

Jealous

I defeated Trump and his allies more than 60 times in court when he tried to steal the 2020 election. When Trump sued me for RICO in 2022, I didn't settle. I fought and won. He and the GOP hate me because I fight. They fear me because I win.

Sam's a candidate for elected office and is firmly in the fight camp

A really tough week. I am doing everything I can to spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. You can help me by subscribing to Democracy Docket for free and sharing its content with everyone you know. Thanks. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

We’re just under six months away from the midterms — and Republicans are doing everything they can to silence voters and entrench minority rule. If you’ve ever considered joining the organizing that’s happening near you, now is the time to get involved.
