Roslyn Carter once said Ronald Reagan, "makes people comfortable with their prejudices." Trump didn't create MAGA, he just brought it out from under its white sheet and put a red hat on it.

You gonna be a "Kevin Hart" and take that blatant disrespect of who you are and your race is on the chin? They aren't when the tables are turned (see #J6). Your ancestors left the greatest weapon for us to fight with. Our #Vote. That's the greatest 🔑 to freedom. Use it. #BlueSky #BlackSky

Being Black in 🇺🇸 always give reason or another for us to have to break the emergency glass. But if there was any time where we absolutely have to? Is right now. And they are betting that you won't show up in November....

The kids know what time it is. And they’re rigging the maps because they know they can’t stop time. ⏰

Obama: empathy. Biden: empathy. Clinton: empathy. Trump: “Not even a little bit.” Four words that perfectly explain every tariff, every layoff, every empty grocery shelf. He doesn’t care about us, think about us, or how we are struggling in his economy He told us exactly who he was.

Really. You've got to watch this. It's brief.

If dems wanna win they need to stop harping on affordability and start talking like this

It’s just as Kamala Harris predicted, the orange felon has destroyed the economy and has gone to war with Iran.

In drought-stricken Texas, people are being told to cut back. Meanwhile, a data center wants 50,000 gallons a day. Texans shouldn’t come second to tech barons. Sign the petition to stop AI data centers >> www.claytontuckertx.com/stop_ai_cent... #Texas #Water #Drought #AIDataCenters

Classified military intelligence assessments from early this month show Iran has regained access to most of its missile sites, launchers and underground facilities. US intel assesses Iran has restored operational access to 30 of 33 missile sites it maintains along the Strait of Hormuz, and

Perfect campaign ad for the upcoming Midterms. 👌

This is beyond outrageous. Settling a $10B lawsuit with the government you control using taxpayer money. One of the settlement terms under review requires the IRS to drop any audits of Trump, his family members and businesses. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/12/b...

Right now, American politics feels less like democracy and more like Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead staged inside the White House. The infection spreads, the cult keeps consuming it, and somewhere in the background somebody is still screaming, ‘This cross ain’t gonna burn itself.’

Breathtaking corruption. Just keeps getting worse. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/12/b...

They changed the rules after the game started. Lindsay Garcia said: people have already voted. That should be the end of the conversation. No speech. Just the true thing, said plainly. That's the whole code. open.substack.com/pub/joadt/p/...

Survivor of Jeffrey Epstein breaks down in tears describing the moment she learned her name was revealed while the rich and powerful remained protected by redactions Roza: I kept my identity protected as Jane Doe. I woke up one day with my name mentioned over 500 times.

Re: reconciliation, the Senate trying to convince the Parliamentarian that it's OK to have all these extra expenses for ICE and CBP and $1B for a ballroom even though they don't have any revenue offsets or expense reductions as is required with reconciliation. Pick up your phone!

SCOTUS, which ordered Alabama to create a second Black opportunity district just 3 years ago, has lifted that order a week before the primary. The Purcell principle says courts shouldn't permit chaos too close to an election—it's now an open question whether there will even be a primary on schedule.

The Guardian launches its '100 best novels of all time' list, with numbers 100-81. I was one of the 172 authors, critics and academics polled. Afaik, two of my ten choices made the final cut, one in this first tranche:

My god. I was not fully paying attention to Trump’s Truth Social feed the last 90 minutes and had only noticed the two batshit crazy posts he made that I shared a bit ago. In actuality there are over SIXTY (!) similar posts full of completely made up demented nonsense. 1/2

WTH? I have a slew of emails from the orange felon today. Why is this happening?

Yo!!!! Memphis peeps!!! Check this out and show up if you can!!! The fight has just begun.

"One study found that increasing the number of people who receive SNAP benefits by 5 percent could have prevented nearly 32,000 suicides over 15 years. And a $1 increase in minimum wage has been linked to roughly 8,000 fewer suicide deaths over a decade."

172 reports of sexual abuse and assault at the Tacoma’s Northwest ICE Detention Center. And instead of accountability, survivors were met with failed investigations, ignored evidence, and a system that protects private prisons over human lives.

Residents in Fayette County, Georgia noticed their water pressure was unusually low. Turns out that a data center 20 miles away had been drawing 30 million gallons of water in secret through connections the county didn't know existed. Is it any wonder why so many are opposed to data centers?

This is some wild shit…

Please arrest Trump. He took meetings with Putin before he was in office. He started the Epstein Fury war after speaking with the two biggest war criminals, Putin and Netanyahu. Trump discredits everyone. Thats now a symbol of goodness since he has immunity. His deflections reveal his guilt.

Who actually wins with AI? Without regulation, the tech billionaire class takes it all while 300 million jobs vanish by 2030. Is your job at risk in a world where profit outweighs people? Tell Congress: legislate national AI-related safeguards. (202) 224-3121

UV tanning beds cause skin cancer. While serving in the California State Senate, we successfully passed a ban on minors from using tanning beds without their parents’ permission. RFK Jr.’s assault on science is dangerously stupid and will harm our country’s young people.
