The Republican majority on the Supreme Court is corrupt and illegitimate.

Love this! www.notus.org/perspectives... (The suggestions from the 15 other WaPo veterans fall well short of the moment.)

Amen

The U.S. Supreme Court is conducting a coup d'etat. It is at war with the very premise of an electoral democracy. Nothing about that institution or its work is legitimate. Nothing.

Supreme Court affirms that when it says whites only it means whites only. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/11/u...

Make this sentiment mainstream 🗣️

They could not be clearer. Their goal is the restoration of white supremacy and the disenfranchisement of voters of color, a return to the days before the VRA and the entrenchment of permanent Republican dominance.

The Supreme Court are just lawyers for the RNC at this point. It's egregious, dangerous, and shameful. In the end, the forces of democracy will still prevail over these abuses; and Roberts will go down as the Chief who triggered Court reform by destroying its reputation. Umpires my ass.

they want a lot of kinds of resegregation. christian supremacy, women relegated to the home, queer people afraid to go outside, etc. but The Big One is the same as it's ever been

it's a segregationist party and its goal is resegregation. every decision of this illegitimate supreme court should be understood as springing from this central impulse

sorry I seem distracted just have to keep checking my phone to see if one of my freedoms is being arbitrarily taken away

Dr. Oz is telling us how many children we should “normally want to have.” I don’t have kids b I never fucking wanted to have any. And the eugenicist Nazi/MAGA party can mind its own damn business. We could solve demographic issues by increasing immigration but Trump only wants more white babies.

Kara Swisher shaming a room full of Nordic journalists for still using X: "l am bigger than all of you combined"

One YouTube commenter compared it to “going on a foodie tour during the Great Depression.”

Remember Lowndes County—the rural, mostly Black region of Alabama where Trump canceled a program to divert human waste from flowing into homes and yards as “illegal DEI”? Guess what: Developers are now trying to build a 5M sq ft datacenter there that’d use 3x more power than the rest of the county.

This is what being pro-life *actually* looks like:

“But the demagogue ages. The fear of death moves closer to the center of his psyche. Merely holding power and commanding public attention is no longer enough. Mere vanity gives way to a needy and almost insatiable narcissism. The narcissism escapes containment.” www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-for-...

(Trump has no plan)

It's a new day. Billionaires had better adjust themselves, because THE PEOPLE have had it with them using their weath to buy political outcomes that harm us. We plan to pick lots of fights with them. nymag.com/intelligence...

Benjamin Netanyahu should not be on CBS's 60 Minutes. He should be standing trial at The Hague for his war crimes!

Historical research does not need to be done faster or in greater volume for any social or intellectual purpose whatever; if anything, it needs to be done more slowly and deliberately than at present, by people allowed the training, time, space, and resources to do it that way.

We're with her. #ResistTrump

This is what it has felt like to go to Cannes and every other marketing or digital media conference the last two years. Just a bunch of people patting each other on the back for investing in a technology that the majority of their users either hate or remain extremely skeptical about.

Exactly what Bari Weiss was installed for

The average American family is spending an additional $5,000 this year due to Trump’s tariffs, spiking gas prices, higher grocery costs and skyrocketing health insurance premiums. We’re fed up with it.

What do you think all those "detention" centers are for?

Ugh. The Reflecting Pool as a Tid-D-Bol toilet ...

I won't set foot or spend one dollar in these Jim Crow 2.0 states:

A data center drained 30M gallons of water unnoticed until residents complained about low water pressure - POLITICO

They’re against diversity. And they want Black people grouped together in one part of town, until it comes to our voting power. We see you.

This is Lysenko/Nazi/Franco level fascism. Btw.

ICE attacked, bloodied, and concussed a 19-year-old in NYC and then dumped him off at a random park when they realized they had the wrong guy. “Sorry,” they told him-he needed 7 stitches.

I’d support California independence for sure. Time to leave Jim Crow 2.0 racist America behind.

Thank you @maddowmaddow for laying it plain

The court is corrupt and lawless, and therefore illegitimate. Pack it or punish it or strip it of power.
