While you can’t afford a trip for your family this summer, you just paid for Sean Duffy’s 7-month road trip at $4.55 per gallon of gas.

The South didn't even wait for the ink to dry before gutting Black representation. If you need more proof that systemic racism is alive and voting rights are in danger, you’re choosing to stay blind.

My suggestion is for every person of color in Tennessee to vote with their dollars. Boycott mass transit. Have a mass sick day every week. Only buy from non white businesses. And if those businesses employ white employees, fire them. Make Tennessee pay.

some wisdom from james wilson, framer. "The truth is that, in our governments, the supreme, absolute, and uncontrollable power remains in the people."

It’s telling that Alabama took 14 years to implement Brown (you MUST desegregate) and < 14 days to implement Callais (you CAN eliminate Black districts if you call them Democratic, but you don’t HAVE to).

Beat them at the ballot box anyway.

There is no clearer case for the necessity of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 than how quickly southern states moved to eliminate Black-majority districts and dilute Black power after SCOTUS eroded Section 2. SCOTUS’s reasoning was immediately disproven by reality.

The conservative SCOTUS justices: The courts aren’t political. The Virginia Supreme Court: Hold our beer, Kavanaugh.

Yep, let's focus on the midterms and then move forward.

Democrats, we have our messaging marching orders.

There are a lot of wonderful people who live in Tennessee. But the elected Tennessee Republicans sure do remind me that Tennessee was the birthplace of the Ku Klux Klan. www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

Lutnick: "The president sleeps less than me. The president sleeps 4 hours a night, working all the time. Most impressive thing you've ever seen." Imagine thinking shitposting online and watching cable news 24/7, falling asleep during cabinet meetings, are the most impressive things you have seen.

They know a storm is coming.

Contact your Senators, folks.

Another really long day. I am doing everything I can to spread the word about the threats to democracy and how to fight back. You can help me by subscribing to Democracy Docket for free and sharing its content. Thanks. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Hi there @support.bsky.team. Our friend @allanroyx.bsky.social is having serious technical difficulties and hasn't been able to post in nearly a week. Can you help him? Many thanks 🙏

This was a terrible day, but at least the Montréal Canadiens beat the Tampa Bay Lightning. We take our wins where we can get them. Merci, Habs! 😍

How fucking stupid is it to say no other president has done anything about Iran for 47 years when we had 10 years under Iran Nuclear Treaty and Iran was not working on nuclear weapons. lardass has given Iran impetus to have nuclear weapons.

Fuck off @MeghanMcCain. I’m an American. I have free speech. I have a right to criticize Trump’s ugly ballroom & will do so whenever I want. Whoever the Dem nominee is in 2028 should pledge to tear the damn thing down. And btw, your father would be so damn disappointed in what you’ve become.

Live your life so that if *you* face multiple assassination attempts; millions of ppl right, left and center won't all simultaneously tweet that it's staged

Skip the frothing bullshit online today. It will be one of those days on social media that makes you hate everyone and everything. Take a walk. Call an old friend. Read a book. Lavish your pets with love & attention. Watch a movie you've always wanted to see or rewatch one that makes you feel good.

Prof Pape is right: Trump has repeatedly made clear he wants no special or independent inquiry into what happened in Butler, PA. And that's just weird. About as weird as the multiple reports from last night suggesting members of Team Trump had foreknowledge of an incident at the dinner

Anyway. I’m glad nobody was hurt and I’m sure the journalists who attended the WHCD will not center themselves and their personal experiences and instead remain focused on holding the powerful accountable and informing the people about their government.

This entire thing is ridiculous.

He faked another assassination attempt? He's turning "near-death" into a multi-chapter grift. First one was theater, this one's straight fanfic. Bullets are CGI, wounds are makeup, and the only thing getting assassinated is whatever's left of his dignity. He can't even stage a decent hoax anymore.

An armed gunman at the dinner is a very serious thing, but listening to RW influencers comment on it politically before anything is known is typical false narrative-building and shows how badly they're looking for something to rally around.

You cannot claim to be the watchdogs of democracy while sharing champagne and hors d'oeuvres with the very people trying to dismantle it.

Wokeness defeated 🏆

Someone said he is not only the worst American president but the worst American ever. Can't argue with that.

Real... You can't make this Sh*t Up..🤡

Every person who attends this farce is complicit and simply advertising said complicity. #WHCD #WHCA www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...

Everywhere you look, Trump, his family members, his donors, his political supporters & his cronies are looting the US treasury, getting paid by foreign entities for policy favors, & getting no bid contracts. Criminal cases are dropped and convictions pardoned. The US govt is an ongoing crime scene.

As if we needed another reason to not watch @cbsnews.com – they've invited both Pete Hegseth and Stephen Miller to sit at their table at the upcoming White House Correspondents' Dinner.

Oh, honey . . . if Democrats could *really* rig elections, why aren't they in power in the White House, Senate, House, and Supreme Court right now? You're such a simple thing.

Republicans, you got no one to blame but yourselves. Trump started this fight, he started this whole mid-decade redistricting bullshit. Democrats are simply fighting back. Cry harder Republicans.

For those attending the White House Correspondents' Dinner this weekend, a small question: When you're sitting there at your table, do you think it'll cross your mind that the guest of honor is actively covering up his role in a massive child sex trafficking operation?

If you’re in Virginia, for the sake of everything that matters to the rest of the civilized world, please get out today and vote yes on the constitutional amendment

👇👇👇👇

how ridiculous for Tampa Bay Lightning fans to chant "USA, USA" last night against Montreal Canadians? Montreal has more USA born players than Tampa, and Tampa has more than half its team from Canada.

We have only this to protect. Start now by electing humans who will protect our fragile environment

To the people complaining these sex abuse cases have created a world where men now have to think 10 times before they touch a woman. Yes, that's the point. It's called consent. Welcome to human decency.

Swalwell has announced his resignation from Congress. It’s impossible not to ask why Texas Republican Tony Gonzales hasn’t done the same. And why the GOP doesn’t insist the Epstein files, which repeatedly mention the head of their party, be fully released.

Honestly, how much more nonsense are we going to have to go through before the people around Trump grasp that he is mentally sick, a danger to America and the world--and he needs to be removed from office?

Fixed for accuracy.

If you think Trump depicting himself as Jesus is blasphemous, wait until you hear how he cut food assistance and healthcare to poor children.

I no longer consider the GOP a legitimate political party. The President is a terrorist, a traitor, and guilty of so many repugnant crimes that it's hard to keep track, and yet Republicans can't find it in themselves to remove or even criticize him. We pay these people, but they do nothing for us.

Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise. He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media. The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.

Trump is done. He needs to be removed from office. He’s compromised, unwell, and unfit. Call your Republican reps and tell them it’s time. He’s an albatross. Cut him loose.
