One of the most consistent realities of US history is that the federal government needs to enforce democracy in the South otherwise white southerners will take political representation away from as many people as they can. Still a reality today

My primary thought, as southern Republicans drop all pretense and scramble to grab more power, is that if the rot runs deeper than we thought, so must the needed reforms.

Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social burns a confederate flag in the rotunda after the House passed 9-0 maps stripping Memphis of representation… #Memphis #JimCrow @MarshaBlackburn @GovBillLee

#HypocrisyHell REPUBLICAN CHRISTIANS ARE REALLY WHITE ROBED KKK NAZIS. THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT CHRISTIANS. THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT CONSERVATIVE. THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT GOOD. LOOK WHO THEY VOTED FOR: A CHILD RAPIST. A FRAUD. A LIAR. #FactsMatter

The reason you don't see the KKK anymore is they don't need to wear hoods now they are the ones voting to deny black Americans voting rights & representation

"'Orwellian' has been so overused that it now has lost all of its meaning, and when there are moments like this where it's so applicable... we have to be discerning enough here to say, 'come on, this is bullshit.'" Isaac Saul on a "ceasefire" that doesn't include ceasing fire.

Trump keeps posting that America was once the laughingstock of the world, but now that he is president, it's never been more respected. As an Aussie, I can 100% confirm that Donald Trump is a laughingstock here.

⚡️ Zelenskyy to Reuters: Russian attacks on our territory show that Putin does not want a ceasefire.

MAGA is the Confederacy.

The president wants to make it harder for millions of Americans to vote. We won’t let him. NO on the SAVE America Act.

Happy 100th birthday to you, Sir David Attenborough. More than anyone else, you have inspired my love of nature. Thank you. #DavidAttenborough #nature #wildlife

Integrity in action.

How droll, the pedophile mafia defends its own. If it was so “innocent” why would Harvard hide their pedophile under their dress?

A core part of the Supreme Court’s stated rationale for gutting the Voting Rights Act is that racism isn’t a problem anymore, so former Confederate states would never disenfranchise Black voters the way those states are doing right now.

🤷🏼

If you strip Memphis of representation while waving around the legacy of the Confederacy, don’t act shocked when people start treating that flag exactly how it deserves to be treated. I stand with Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social. 🔥 Tennessee racists have awoken a sleeping giant.

I thought if all else failed, America at least came to realize racism is bad for business and that would prevent backsliding. But, nope.

🤣

“LITTLE D” HAS NOT BEEN SEEN BY THE PRESS EVER SINCE I CHALLENGED HIM TO A COGNITIVE TEST ON LIVE NATIONAL TELEVISION! NOT GOOD! — Governor GCN

The reporter who asked this question is a veteran journalist, Rachel Scott. She is also a Black American. Trump called her question stupid and twice seemed to imply she was comfortable with dirt. Just naked misogyny and racism

My dad fought in WW2 my brother fought in Vietnam my Cousin fought and died in Vietnam. Now we have a President that dodged the draft 5 times telling our children to fight for a War he created because he’s in the Epstein files.

I knew it already and after Brexit, after the two Trump wins. People will vote against their own interests. The poor will vote based upon what billionaires want them to. As long as who they are voting for attacks anyone not white and straight. This is just the truth.

I made it black and white to match the 1960s energy of this photo.

A Kamala Harris presidency would have been relatively boring and you wouldn't be awake scrolling right now.

Free beers for life to the first reporter who shares this fun fact with trump, ON CAMERA, the next time he brags about his cognitive test🍻

He’s revealed US to be a paper tiger on a global stage. A bully who picks unnecessary fights he can’t win, begs others for help & when denied, is sour grapes w “WE DON’T NEED YOU ANYWAY!” He has destroyed our status in the world & respect for US is at a historic low. Shameful.

New Costume, Same Klan: How Dems Must Fight Back Against MAGA Jim Crow and the Broligarchy Republicans are suppressing Black voters and hoping to install permanent rule for Trump and his white billionaire allies. We need bold fighters to step up. thelefthook.substack.com/p/new-costum...

We are in the worst possible hands imaginable with RFK Jr. running HHS and the guy who told people to drink bleach during COVID back in the White House.

I could not have said it better!!!❤️💯

Some say #BoycottTennessee is unfair because some companies headquartered there are good public citizens. Well they can step up NOW & stop the destruction of Black voting power. #FederalExpress #DollarGeneral #AutoZone #RegalCinema #Gibson (music instruments) #Asurion (insurance).

"Looking back now, it’s clear that the desire to undo the Civil Rights Era — and even restore the Confederacy to a place of honor — never disappeared. It was sometimes set to the side and reshaped, but they kept the fire burning with unwavering attention."

Mainstream TV news has shifted from “inform the public” to “don’t offend power.” The worst part is the tone: everything is delivered like a calm weather report while the country is on fire. These past anchors understood that journalism is supposed to apply pressure. Not host a brunch panel.

BREAKING: In a PANIC, Kash Patel ordered polygraphs for at least two dozen current and former members of his security detail looking for leaks. Those would be the folks that would see him drinking or wake him the next morning. www.ms.now/news/kash-pa...

MacFarlane: Democrats are riding this wave of momentum toward the midterms. But there are concerns that the Supreme Court and local courts could just steal it.

Good idea! Boycotts definitely affect companies, especially if you email/call customer service and let them know why. Gibson now owns Mesa/Boogie amps, so boycott them too. There's plenty of used equipment to buy!

He's been straight up lying since he got the job. He stood up in Minneapolis during Metro Surge and plainly said that ICE wasn't targeting hospitals, schools, and courthouses. All brazen lies.

Quite so. And how he did that should be studied by sociologists and political scientists for generations.

War is peace

Per Barak Ravid of Axios, the U.S. military strikes on Iran tonight do not constitute a resumption of the war

Iranian state media outlet Tasnim reports the Iranian Navy’s attacks on American destroyers in the Sea of Oman are ongoing. 1/

There are LOTS of companies headquartered in Tennessee. Let’s tell them we are no longer supporting businesses based in the Confederacy!! #FederalExpress #DollarGeneral #AutoZone #RegalCinema #Gibson (musical instruments) #Asurion (insures cellphones) #InternationalPaper #BoycottTennessee!!!

The Republican Political Party invested 15 months into knocking out the power, authority and reputation of black Americans. Now they are moving to knock out their power to vote so they don't have have to face unemployment after losing elections, for their crimes. Truly pathetic methods of survival.
