a thought i had while talking to a friend is that a federal end to partisan gerrymandering has to be at the top of the democratic party's agenda, and may likely get there because of threat the status quo poises to black representation, and thus black political involvement altogether.

“WHOSE STATE? OUR STATE!” Tennesseans sing the national anthem and @OdessaKelly leads a protest after a shambolic rules committee starts a dark week of Black voter disenfranchisement in Tennessee

THIS WAS ALWAYS THEIR PLAN Gut the Voting Rights Act… then move fast to erase majority-Black districts across the South completely. 📌 Louisiana, 1 in 3 people are Black 📌 Mississippi, 2 in 5 people are Black 📌 N Carolina, 1 in 5 people are Black 📌 Tennessee, 1 in 6 people are Black

💊 Americans are being forced to skip life-saving care … while our country spends billions to go to war. That’s the reality. 𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗲: 𝗣𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗿 𝗯𝗼𝗺𝗯𝘀. Invest in healthcare. Save lives. 👉 Please share if you agree! #HealthcareNotWarfare

We don’t need a War, we need healthcare! #HealthcareNotWarfare

Trump wants you to fear Iran more than you fear a medical bill. But for most Americans, it’s the bill that kills. Fund doctors, not drones. Clinics, not conflict. #HealthcareNotWarfare

We need politicians and candidates to start talking about HOW they are going to make healthcare BETTER. As a voter who opted out because of the skyrocketing cost, I know I’m not alone in saying this: we don’t need another speech. We need a “healthcare for all” plan. #HealthcareNotWarfare

the first three questions Hegseth takes at this morning's press conference are from OAN, Real America's Voice, and the Daily Wire -- all right-wing propaganda outlets

When you’ve lost the daily mail

They don’t just want to target election results. They want to target election workers. bsky.app/profile/kyle...

A whopper of a lie. Putinesque.

Use our database to explore the financial disclosures of President Donald Trump and more than 1,600 of his appointees. 👇

She’s not wrong. At some point you have to ask… are you part of the machine funding the problem?

So much for talking down Mexico, huh?! 👇 Shine on MEXICO, shine on. 😎✨

NBC News reports that Spirit Airlines was forced to shut down after Trump’s failed war in Iran caused a “massive and sustained increase in fuel prices." When you pay more to travel this summer, please thank our mentally gifted president.

My piece with @ajvicens.bsky.social on how hundreds of Americans were fired or otherwise punished following the killing of right wing influencer Charlie Kirk is part of a package that has been recognized with the 2026 Pulitzer Prize in National Reporting: www.reuters.com/investigatio...

While the world’s eyes are on fashion’s biggest night, we’re turning ours to the garment, retail, and warehouse workers who keep the industry running. From true love found on the picket line to a free tailoring school out of a Brooklyn basement — meet the New Yorkers who make it all possible.

To museum and art lovers - you can give to the MET without going to the gala. You couldn't pay me enough to take a picture with Jeff Bezos and/or his wife. #MetGala #BadTaste #AmazonStudios #BillionaireBend

Every year I defend the Met Gala on social media/repost those explaining how it does support the arts BUT this year, I think it is indefensible. It is being used to gaslight us all in believing Jeff Bezos is anything other than evil & trying to destroy democracy in this country.

Jeff Bezos gave $10M to the Met to be a figure head. That’s what we in the non-profit biz call “fuck off money”. It’s an amount that means nothing to them but it allows them to do whatever they want. Sometimes it’s go to a fancy party. Sometimes it’s absolutely nothing. In no case is it meaningful.

I don’t usually care about or comment on these types of events. But I think anyone attending the #MetGala this year in particular—given Jeff Bezos is chairing the soirée—can and should be judged, at best, as enablers of technofascist kleptoligarchy. And, more likely, as collaborators in it.

It’s too easy for oligarchs like Jeff Bezos to exploit workers to enrich themselves. It’s time we say enough and make them pay their fair share #boycott

I shall also be skipping this year’s Met Gala on Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s first year as sponsor ma

Am i a scold for thinking given the state of the world that the Met Gala is grotesque?

Reminder that the Trump regime is still blowing up suspected “drug boats” — killing 185 people since September. But no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're taking Trump's word for it. This is murder. We must not lose sight of this lawlessness.

This is an excellent question.

Jeff Bezos and his wife are the lead sponsors of tonight's Met Gala. Now seems like a good time to remind folks of all the ways Bezos is shafting American consumers and Amazon workers — and how his wealth is putting our democracy at risk. https://www.commondreams.org/opinion/amazon-ceo-jeff-bezos

Morning Joe put together a supercut of Sen. Blumenthal asking Trump's judicial nominees who won the 2020 election, and each of them refusing to acknowledge that Trump lost

Europe is getting crushed on the social media battleground right now. Our democracies are wide open to attack because we rely on foreign tech. We cannot survive this unless we push through serious regulation and finally start building our own European platforms

Good morning and happy Monday to everyone. Fat Satan is sending fifteen thousand troops, one hundred aircraft, and guided-missile destroyers to the Strait of Hormuz. Not enough people are talking about this.

"Just as Hitler’s failures led him to resent the German people ever more strongly and destructively, we can expect Trump’s growing frustration to result in ever more nihilistic and destructive actions as his term moves toward its end."

I don’t want to her about any medical emergencies for either Trump or Giuliani. Just let me know when the lines are flat.

Many of you are asking how you can help me. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tel everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket for free and share its content with everyone you know. Thanks. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

I keep hearing reports that Rudy Giuliani dyed.

“It’s a key to the White House and our hearts, Bibi.” From one criminal to another.

Why are people sleeping on this Florida Senate race? Alex Vindman will win this if we support him!

This segment is almost certainly going to be used as evidence in support of tossing out this case.

Red states didn’t wait. The second SCOTUS butchered the Voting Rights Act, they went all in. Louisiana: Roughly one-third Black, and now they’re pushing maps that could leave the state with zero Black representation in Congress. The solution: Blue states need to match the urgency.

Republicans made clear they would not be deterred by Democrats simply matching them seat for seat. The only way to stop them was to make clear that Democrats will go further than they will — and mean it. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/demo...

Federal workers shouldn’t be punished for government shutdowns they didn’t cause. I met TSA officers in Phoenix who worked without pay and now face damaged credit scores. My new bill protects their credit history so shutdowns don’t cause them more financial strain.

Zero pushback from Kristen Welker when Todd Blanche said you have to show your ID every time you walk into a restaurant. What a joke.

As the Pentagon purges some minorities and women from high-ranking positions, the message being sent to lower-ranking officers is that “they will be assessed on the basis of their gender, race, or politics, rather than their abilities.”

thank you sam alito for ending the unconstitutional racial discrimination against white conservatives and allowing them to obliterate federal representation for as many black people as they can manage, as the reconstruction congress intended
