As states like Louisiana and Tennessee redraw their congressional maps, one aspect is particularly concerning. “I am struck by the relish, by the glee, the joy that these southern states right now are taking in destroying Black opportunity districts,” @marcelias.bsky.social said.

“In my lifetime I have witnessed a terrible decline. In yours, you could and should witness a wonderful recovery.” What an immense privilege it has been to be alive at the same time as this incredible human being—David Attenborough. #Happy100thBirthday🥳 www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

The Bezos Post is essentially becoming Jeff Bezos’ personal blog to whine about people who criticize the idle rich like him. A hit dog will holler. Imagine arguing that hoarding billions of dollars is the peak of “human potential” with a straight face.

Ever wonder what your congresswoman does in a day? Spend a day with me in Washington, D.C. introducing legislation to protect workers and minority-owned small businesses, meeting with stakeholders, and attending a joint-session of Congress!

Really enjoyed this conversation with MAGA slayer @adammockler.com - don’t tell Scott Jennings! open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...

Don’t be one of Tucker’s suckers. The press made this mistake with Trump. Let’s not repeat that with Carlson, who is another dangerous liar and racist. My latest: jimacosta.substack.com/p/dont-be-on... open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...

About 1.2 million Americans died during the Covid pandemic. Hantavirus is MUCH more deadly, perhaps killing 40% rather than 1% of patients. Unfortunately, Trump and RFK Jr are in key roles, and capable of turning this into a major disaster. Please listen to real experts.

“That’s what you said about Covid and it killed a million people.” Never the follow up.

BREAKING: Trump on Hantavirus: “It's very much, we hope, under control. It should be fine”… Sounds eerily familiar, doesn’t it?!

Rep. Jim McGovern This isn't some anonymous tip. This is sworn testimony, under penalty of perjury, from someone who said Trump threatened to kill her if she exposed Epstein's sexual abuse. I personally witnessed Defendant Trump telling the Plaintiff that she shouldn't ever say anything

We are being stripped of our right to fair elections. Our judicial system has been corrupted.

Dog experiences the beach for the first time . 😍

Should be us. This is the price of the corrupt Trump administration decision to cede this entire industry to the Chinese, just for added gasoline sales for his big fossil fuel donors. Corruption has a cost. American industries will pay.

Voting rights organizations across the South Friday pledged to oppose the GOP’s efforts to rig congressional maps in its favor after the Supreme Court gutted a key part of the Voting Rights Act (VRA) last week. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

...the law binds but does not protect...

Really not sure how a democracy comes back from "no, that statewide election with a clear result didn't count because we say so." When of course in my state we 1) didn't even get a vote and 2) the state police held guns to the opposition, including my representative, to get their bill passed.

Total shocker. Alito’s argument for why black people don’t need voting rights protections is based on fraudulent statistics.

Facebook post: “Ed Gallrein is clueless. I spoke to him face to face last Friday night. I was polite, he was a rude, bitter, angry individual that stomped away like a 2 year old after he was embarrassed by my basic question that he couldn't answer.”

russia: “We are fighting nazism” Also russia: invades neighbors kidnaps children destroys cities jails dissidents worships one leader uses propaganda 24/7 Sounds familiar for a reason.

Trump decided to paint the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool blue. He handed out a no-bid $6.9 million contract to a company that worked on his own pools, using an exemption meant only to prevent “serious injury” to the government. The corruption is off the charts. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/08/u...

Good! Maybe John Roberts will take the opportunity to prove that SCOTUS is not making decisions based on political expediency. HAHAHAHAHA (sorry, just cracked myself up)

NEWS: Virginia Dems have filed a motion asking the Supreme Court of Virginia to delay issuing its mandate striking down the congressional redistricting referendum. The filing states the Commonwealth intends to file an emergency petition with the U.S. Supreme Court of seeking review of the decision.

…Billy Bush laughed at the misogynist perv back then. Who laughed at his crude remark this time?

ABC News’ Rachel Scott’s question of big baby Dump that triggered him so: “Mr. President, you are here against the backdrop of the war in Iran. Why focus on all these projects right now with gas prices soaring?” Scott asked Trump.”

A nasal spray with nanotech that crosses the blood-brain barrier after stroke that can be used at home or on the way to the ER to minimize damage. Wow. China seems to have a lot of nice things. You'd think we could, too.

If just one reporter would say "What the fuck is wrong with you?" after one of his insults, the deference bubble would shatter into a million pieces, and the reporter would go down in history with Jack Welch.

I want a reporter to say, when Trump says "you're stupid", or, "You're the worst" anything, say it back to him! You're stupid, "no, you're stupid, Trump"! You're the worst reporter, "no, you're the worst president we've ever had "! I want them stand up for themselves.

Sorry state we’re in when the president of the United States can call a reporter a bitch for asking a legitimate question about gas prices and the media says nothing… ? Shameful 😔

What is the life of a man- a father of two- worth? Xi Zheng was biking to work as he typically did, when a driver driving a large pickup truck killed him. Zheng’s two kids are now left without their dad. The driver received a ticket. We have to do better.

"72% of the white population is put into one district. 75% of the Black population is carved into two,” Sen. Jeff Yarbro of Nashville said. “We are being asked to believe that it’s just the luck of the draw, just happenstance.” Within hours of a new congressional map passing, the NAACP filed suit.

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

These are the kind of fighters we need. It's going to get nasty, folks. Time for massive Civil disobedience. We need 100 million on the street or we're headed for Civil War.

Trump has criticized almost everyone - allies, opponents, institutions, his own people, even the Pope... With one exception: Putin. I wonder why?

Tax season is over, and the “biggest refund ever” never showed up. Instead, families are facing higher costs and cuts to health care and food assistance. All while the wealthy got the biggest breaks. That’s not a fair economy. It’s a rigged one.

It’s staggering How swiftly states in the South can still move to stymie Black voters And how ready they were to do so
