Historian of abolition here, history tells us how we got here, to put it succinctly “John Brown was hanged for treason and Robert E. Lee was not.”

Administration full of weirdos and perverts.

Happy birthday to John Brown, who knew exactly how to handle the south’s “Peculiar Institution”

yes. change the statute on which this decision turned and redistrict according to the legitimacy conferred by the people of the state

The exact kind of behavior the Voting Rights Act was intended to and successfully stopped for 60 years. And what Chief Justice Roberts would have you believe wouldn’t happen. The Supreme Court is mostly fools or thinks the rest of the country is.

Roberts is the worst CJ in US history. Say what you will about Roger Taney, but at least he had an ethos.

This has to be the funniest question AND response I've ever seen in a poll. Less than half of Republican men think they could beat Trump in a fight. What a bunch of pathetic losers.

Said with no self-awareness.

It’s patently obvious that by obliterating the Voting Rights Act the Supreme Court unduly restricted the electoral power of Black citizens But since SCOTUS allowed partisan gerrymandering, that also means millions of Americans-in each party-will be disenfranchised Just an unmitigated disaster

Yes. The text of the 14th and 15th Amendments explicitly gives the power to decide how to enforce these amendments to Congress. The Civil Rights Movement was an attempt to enforce the Reconstruction amendments. By undoing the work of the movement, you are undoing the results of the Civil War.

Biggest signal yet Trump’s juice is gone for good. Oil companies telling him to eat their ass.

Unfortunately, this piece on The Great Resegregation has aged well. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

I am unspeakably angry about this turnout gap figure, and it gives insight into the whole ballgame for gutting the VRA. Alito points out that Black turnout exceeded White turnout twice in 5 elections. The argument is garbage 1/x

Impossible to understand the Suprme Court's Voting Rights Act case without the context that John Roberts has spent his entire career working to gut the VRA. As a Reagan DOJ staffer, he made the *same arguments* the Court just embraced. He lost then; he won today. ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/john-...

Everything is so stupid

Maybe after 10 years of this stuff, the media and markets will notice hey maybe this guy is full of shit?

Gonna spend the next two years spamming every elected Dem about the concept of "damnatio memoriae." Chisel his name off every inscription. Build over the various Trump Towers like they're Nero's Golden House. Remove him from physical memory, not to forget but as a sign of disrespect to the man.

Remember all those stories about Rogan breaking with Trump because of Iran a few weeks ago? It was bullshit and it’s always going to be bullshit. Rogan is a schill scared to lose any of his audience.

@ericswalwell.bsky.social Resign, bitch.

RIP. I will never forget the police brutalizing him — and then that one cop stopping the other cop from helping him

It's funny to me that this became true. www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2KQ...

it cant be said enough that all tech smart guys and billionaires thought this guy would be great and now the world economy is fucked we're like a week from gas rationing and their guy is threatening nukes.

Pathetic loser shit. Makes this look like strong messaging:

This is why it’s so funny whenever the media breathlessly reports how influential Little Marco is. He’s a whipped, beaten man. His soul has left his body.

Of all the people upon whom to build a near-religious cult of personality, It will never not puzzle me that MAGA has chosen Donald Trump.

No.

@inthelibrary.bsky.social !

Democratic House needs to investigate this

Why is the Treasury secretary talking about this?

This is what moral bankruptcy looks like. Trump does not realize that one day the same will be said about him… by millions.

The Trump administration took your money illegally. They won’t give it back.
