People will be ‘ah well Lincoln suspended Habeas Corpus…’ South Carolina banned abolitionist literature *in peacetime* and South Carolinians put a bounty on David Walker’s head & Virginia tried to extradite him

Tennessee isn’t sitting down. People are flooding the statehouse because Republicans think they can redraw maps and erase Black and Brown voices. They thought wrong. We see the plan. We reject it. And we will not stop until every vote counts equally. #momsky#sheshed

They just published rules requiring 80 hours of monthly work to keep Medicaid. And this will somehow stop medical offices from filing fraudulent claims?? They're confusing healthcare with cash assistance. Again. Meanwhile ppl are losing healthcare. Again.

GOP Gov candidate Scott Bottoms now admits his claim of 50,000 Tren de Aragua gangsters in Colorado is not true. But he still insists that sheriffs he won’t name will soon deputize special forces veterans to fight the Venezuelan gang.

The NAACP just launched the "Out of Bounds" campaign, calling on Black student-athletes to boycott Southern universities until voting rights are restored. Resident Legal Diva Melba Pearson breaks down the pro case (boycotts work, hit them where it hurts), the major cons (athletes sacrificing...

‘They beat me until I lost consciousness’: growing reports of brutal arrests, torture and deaths in Iran’s prisons

A state lawmaker is pursuing rideshare safety laws after Durham Uber driver Emmanuel Kwame Gbedee was shot and killed in his car last year.

John Croisant is running for the open seat for U.S. Representative in District 1, which covers roughly the Tulsa metropolitan area including all of Tulsa County and portions of Creek, Rogers and Wagoner counties.

The VA lost about 700 social workers and 500 psychologists and psychiatrists over the course of 2025 — a significant change for an agency that was adding mental health staffers nearly every month leading up to Trump’s return to office. (Published March)

ABC and CBS paid Trump. NBC gave to his ballroom. Scott Pelley took a stand and was fired. CNN is next. When Trump sued me, I fought and won. It is that spirit I brought to Democracy Docket. Fearlessly independent, always pro-democracy. Help it grow by subscribing now. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

June 3rd is our last fundraising deadline before the primary! @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social sees the vision. If you do too, please chip in what you can so we can bring that vision to Uptown & The Bronx!

Zach Laun beating Feenstra in the Iowa Gov primary doesn’t fit the popular ‘Trump’s hold on the party’ narrative. Trump endorsed Feenstra. Looks to me more like anti-incumbent/-establishment; Feenstra was a congressman; Lahn a MAHA farmer/businessman.

Hell yes, former Interior Secretary Deb Haaland has won the New Mexico Democratic primary for Governor and if elected, she will make history as the nation's first Native American governor. 💙

WOW. So Blanche won't rescind the tax immunity. Was the entire charade just a cover to grant Trump tax immunity? Blanche claims that part of the "settlement" still stands. This is somehow MORE CORRUPT.

Without a doubt immunity was the intended plan. The "slush fund" promise was to woo gullible maga back to the fold. And it worked. Didn't it?

Smart people do smart things.

This ruling now closes the loop on Roberts nakedly reversing himself now that he knows his party needs a boost

lmao of course. by the standards alito has set out, there is effectively no such thing as intentional discrimination in voting. also, so much for the purcell principle!

The majority’s opinion accompanying the ruling is astounding, and in fact is potentially just as significant as Callais despite its brevity and tentative nature given that it is a shadow docket ruling.

#BREAKING The CURFEW around Delaney Hall has been LIFTED. Protesters celebrate as they read Mayor Baraka's post

Just so we’re all crystal clear, the Supreme Court says they’ve gutted the voting rights act and used the fifteenth amendment to justify it; what they’ve really done is to rewrite the fifteenth amendment, designed to protect non-white citizens’ voting rights, as a White Power amendment.

SCOTUS 2023: Hey, Alabama—your congressional maps are too racist, go fix them Alabama: how about instead we make them MORE racist & intentionally try to destroy majority Black districts/representation? SCOTUS 2026: Perfect. No Notes.

Republicans think American voters are stupid Let's prove them wrong in November

These pathetic MAGA jellyfish are the most insecure man babies walking the earth

How embarrassing. All of these men are so insecure that it’s absolutely hilarious - and more than a little sad.

Good news from @aftynbehn.bsky.social

What's happening to CBS News is what the tech oligarchs call "parallel" strategy. Buy an existing institution, gut it, and convert it into a right-wing zombie version of itself. They are doing this to media, government, education, biotech, defense tech, etc. Some call it the "Network State."

Fox News is so out-of-touch that it thinks being against the construction of data centers, which are wildly unpopular, is a "far-left" policy. Keep up the good work of making progressive candidates more appealing to voters, Fox.

📌 IOWA 2024: Trump won by 13 points. 📌 IOWA VOTERS TODAY: “I feel like I’m being shot financially.” Trump is “losing it. I think he’s too old.”

I’M BAAACK! Today I traveled to the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati to hear oral arguments in our lawsuit against the state of Tennessee to protect your 1A. Big thanks to my co-plaintiff Rachel Welty, the Horwitz Law Firm, & ICAP for taking this case and making it historical record.

My God, these people are so stupid it actually hurts.

MAGAts are more interested in protecting pedophiles than they are of taking personal responsibility for their lives.

WaPo poll finds: 56% oppose ballroom 52% oppose triumphal arch 68% oppose his signature on money Among independents those numbers are even worse. Now imagine if voters understood Trump's IRS immunity scam. Absolutely lethal for Rs. Make them own it: newrepublic.com/article/2112...

Nick Bilton wrote he's not here "to make headlines about newsroom drama." Bilton referred to himself 23 times in his email firing Scott Pelley—five in the first sentence alone. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Jim Crow is chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court.

This heinous ruling confirms a worst-case-scenario reading of Callais as an all-purpose shield for racist lawmakers who want to gerrymander Black communities into electoral oblivion. And it’s outrageously partisan—a totally unprincipled gift to the GOP. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

JFC! Trump just named Bill Pulte, a dude who knows about home mortgages and has ZERO related experience to be his Director of National Intelligence The DNI manages the 18 IC agencies—including the CIA, NSA, FBI, and DIA—to ensure their activities align with national security priorities. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

What the @washingtonpost.com did to @karenattiah.bsky.social was cowardly and shameful.

The confederacy couldn’t win the civil war or prevent the right to vote in the constitution with swords & guns. Now, southern red states are proving the pen is mightier than the sword

To be clear: the lower court said the map intentionally discriminates against black people in violation of the *constitution* (not just the VRA) and the MAGA Majority of SCOTUS is saying "that's ok now."
