The revival of Jim Crow is happening with alarming speed across the South, following the Supreme Court’s destruction of the Voting Rights Act, with Southern Republicans set to dismantle at least five majority-Black districts in South Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi.

Tuberville? Does next to nothing. Vote Doug JONES for Governor of Alabama.

Hey Alabama. Tommy Tuberville is a Trump endorsed idiot. Barry Moore is running for his seat in the Senate. Barry Moore is a Trump endorsed asshole.

Where are the white people, they should be marching with the black people in Selma, Alabama #BLM Stand up, Rise up & support your neighbors!

In Alabama, thousands of people joined a rally at the state Capitol in Montgomery on Saturday, demanding an end to racist gerrymandering by Republican state legislatures in Southern states targeting Black voters.

Thousands march in Alabama for African-American voting rights. “Thousands of people joined demonstrations in Selma and Montgomery on Saturday to protest redistricting by southern Republican state legislatures targeting Black Democratic members of Congress." alabamareflector.com/2026/05/16/t...

Reminder: In addition to being pro-Russia and pro-China, this administration is also pro-measles and even pro-Ebola! wapo.st/4dw6lxM

And here we go. So the guy leading the charge against the Hanta virus is a former ED doctor? What is it with trump and ED? I'm old enough to remember his pick for GA Senator... Maybe he'll get picked to tackle the Ebola virus. #maddow

If Americans start getting Ebola, you can blame DOGE, Elon, and Trump. But hey, enjoy your strawberry vapes. #maddow

As I was driving home today the car in front of me had painted all over its rear window “is he dead yet” All I could think is at least one other person shares my mantra.

Fuck! How many disappointments can be packed into a day.

Oh look at that, resident BlueSky crybaby and big never-Trumper Mark Cuban, is now chopping it up with Trump to make sure his medicine company gets its cut of graft from the regime.

People like Mark Cuban and Mehmet Oz should be treated with the same contempt and blame as Trump and RFK Jr and Musk, as responsible for the deaths of countless people as a result of these badly made-up cons masquerading as policy.

BREAKING: Billionaire Zionist Mark Cuban becomes a lackey for Donald Trump's overpriced medicine scam. We need single payer. All medicine is a human right and must be free, or we will go to war against the rich by direct means.

Mark Cuban stands behind Trump as Trump speaks on behalf of stealing from taxpayers. This is why you don't go to the White House to do events with Trump -- you end up disgracing yourself.

Trump just put him in charge of the FDA. He has no medical background at all. But he does turkey hunt with Don Junior so ok. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

NEW: President Donald Trump bought and sold millions of dollars worth of stock in tech companies and government contractors including Nvidia and Palantir. Some of those trades overlapped with regulatory decisions that were favorable to these companies. www.notus.org/money/donald...

While Republicans scrap over who will take on Sen. Jon Ossoff after Tuesday’s primary, Democrats are already locking in the fall battlefield. The Senate Majority PAC just announced it has reserved $20M in ad time backing Ossoff’s reelection bid. #gapol www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Posing her in front of a garden that has died from lack of water is :chef’s kiss:

NEW: An Oklahoma family was forced to abandon their home after it filled with slick, black goo, reaching gas concentrations at explosive levels. Despite ample evidence of oil and gas pollution, state regulators say they cannot help.

Trump & the GOP did this. They are 100% responsible for your financial suffering. When asked about skyrocketing costs & the pressure on Americans, Trump’s response was that he was not concerned about you. This Nov, right the ship by voting blue. Put in a Congress willing to check him. #ProudBlue

"Tedros declared the PHEIC without yet having convened an expert panel to advise him on the situation — an unprecedented move that speaks to the gravity of the unfolding situation." I had missed this detail. www.statnews.com/2026/05/17/e...

It was not such a Herculean effort—but two years ago I set out to determine whether William Howard Taft really called Huey Long "the most brilliant lawyer that ever practiced before the United States Supreme Court." I was incredulous upon first reading it but it's EVERYWHERE—and total bullshit. 🧵

The glamorous job of a DOJ attorney; trying to bankrupt undocumented immigrants with no savings, just to make their life even more of a hell. Congrats to every lawyer involved, now quit your job.

Maybe instead, an Ebola outbreak for which there is no vaccine?

Ebola Spread Shows Deadly Cost of Aid Retreat www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Reminded today while listening to a report on the latest Ebola outbreak that the nearly unthinkable stupidity and cruelty of all the cuts to international aid and medical infrastructure from a year ago will be a rolling disaster for years to come.

This outrage posting is so tiring. The BBC has done a story on the US implications of the Ebola outbreak. It has done multiple stories on the implications within Africa.

Covid, Hantavirus, now Ebola. And with the CDC and and medical research gutted and perverted by Trump & Kennedy, what could go wrong?

And yet you can hardly find a mention of this in the U.S. press and nothing from our health authorities: W.H.O. Declares Ebola Outbreak a Global Health Emergency www.nytimes.com/2026/05/17/w...

I am no fan of Cassidy’s, but that MAGA cult that loves to do Trump’s bidding reminds us that the rot in a GOP brain is real: Cassidy Loses His Primary in Louisiana, as Trump Vanquishes Another G.O.P. Foe www.nytimes.com/2026/05/16/u...

And finally, on Friday I published a video walk down Montgomery’s Dexter Avenue — a site of slave markets, secession and the birth of the Civil Rights Movement — to talk about the obstacles to democracy in the South, and the stubborn refusal of southerners to accept anything less.

Parts of Monday’s column didn’t age well — note to self: just assume the judiciary no longer cares about appearances — but I still think last week’s special session gave Alabama Democrats a platform and a message, two things they needed heading into the fall.

Multiple columns from me this week as the battle over redistricting in Alabama continues. Wednesday’s: To hell with despair. Democracy is important and worth the fight, however long it takes.

great piece. please read if you have a moment: presswatchers.org/2026/05/its-...

Hours after ICE arrested Israel Makoka and his younger brother, Max, as they boarded their school bus in Diamondhead, Mississippi, Israel found himself in a living-room sized cell with 25 men and a single exposed toilet. He slept on the floor that night, using his shoes for a pillow. Their story:

Under RFK Jr., the federal government is taking aim at not just fluoridated water but also fluoride supplements. The FDA announced efforts to restrict the sale of certain fluoride products to children and has issued a warning about their risks to health care professionals. (Published January)

Highly lethal, no vaccine available. Good job MAGA getting most of our medical research shit-canned by this ignorant and deplorable administration. We will be on the sideline as the rest of the world tackles this situation.
