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

Breaking NEWS!! Federal judge rules DOGE illegally terminated NEH grants last year in a summary judgment in favor of plaintiffs AHA, ACLA, and MLA, and orders the restoration of 1400 terminated grants

At this point, I think he is just trolling us.

That is a different letter

Alabama Legislature is meeting on redistricting; we are under a tornado watch, and it’s flooding in the building. These metaphors are too on the nose.

A funny thing happened on the way to launch day. The @nytimes.com wrote about Platypus Economics. Brian O'Keefe asked tons of questions, interviewed all sorts of folks, and produced something I'm a little stunned by. nytimes.com/2026/05/06/b... (gift link)

It happened again. The most corrupt administration in history.

"Federal agents are conducting a raid at the office of L. Louise Lucas, a Democrat who serves as Virginia Senate President Pro Tempore." Lucas, one of Virginia's most powerful lawmakers, was at the forefront of the state's redistricting fight

BREAKING: The FBI is raiding the office of Virginia Senate President Pro Tempore L. Louise Lucas in Portsmouth, Virginia, according to Fox News, who was conveniently on the scene. 1/4

“Ain’t gonna let bill lee/white supremacy/marsha blackburn turn me around…” Back for Day 2 as @GovBillLee @MarshaBlackburn & Tennessee Republicans legislate racism to strip representation from majority black Memphis and dilute it with white power

Wow, Trump is getting bad. "Capsicules"? Lol.

Once a grift, always a grift

Staffing “was always bad. And now it’s at a breaking point,” a VA psychologist said. They described being stretched so thin that one-on-one appointments were cut down to 16 minutes or replaced with group sessions with as many as 35 veterans.

Our pushback could force Congress to create the 25th Amendment commission and protect America from this unfit president. One voice. One action. One moment that changes history. Be someone who helps safeguard our democracy

I thought he already dyed

"Trump’s initial post about removing US troops from Germany came just hours after he spoke by phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has long sought to reduce the number of NATO troops in Europe... "The Pentagon 'was not expecting it'... www.politico.com/news/2026/04...

Can someone let the AP know that violating court orders is not a sign of "executive power. " It is a sign of contempt, lawlessness and authoritarianism.

💯 please avoid amplifying propaganda & disinformation & if you accidentally share some (it happens), REMOVE IMMEDIATELY and tell your followers why!

Claude AI agent’s confession after deleting a firm’s entire database: ‘I violated every principle I was given’

Just makin' it clear for your asses. Erasing the voices of black and brown people is not "agree to disagree" territory.

🚨BREAKING: In a 6-3 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court kneecapped the Voting Rights Act (VRA), the landmark civil rights law that restricted racial gerrymandering and racial discrimination in voting for more than fifty years. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Todd Blanche is an embarrassment to our nation. Par for the course, I suppose.

What an absolute POS

As New Mexico probes Epstein, local survivors come forward reut.rs/48rDAAS

I’d urge media to begin reducing how often they show the scattering & running from last nights correspondents dinner No one in the room was hurt These images are seen by kids & survivors of shooting sprees … and are scary The images amplify what the attempted gunman dId. Not a good thing

The GOP’s priorities are insanely off. Sen. Kim is right: Spread the word. Then let's kick these feckless cowards out of office.

The fact that the US Secretary of Health denies that pathogens cause disease should always be a much bigger story

Preserve your records, Eric.

i definitely think every dem state that gerrymanders should also say "the easiest way to stop this is to ban it at the federal level and there's only one party that ever votes in favor of that"

There is no excuse. None. Republicans have the votes, they have the power—and tonight they are choosing, deliberately, to do nothing for families and everything for ICE.   It’s past 3 AM and they’re jamming through $70 billion for ICE and $0 for families.   Spread the word.

What do Levi’s, Hanes, and Chewy have in common? California AG Rob Bonta just revealed evidence alleging that Amazon used its power to pressure them, and countless other brands, to inflate prices of listings on rival online marketplaces as part of wide-ranging price-fixing scheme.

Voter ID? How about Donor ID? Nobody can spend a dime influencing our politics, be it elections or governing unless they are human beings & American citizens.

Holy crap #lawsky

The YES has won in Virginia; voters approved the constitutional amendment to adopt Dems' congressional gerrymander. This is likely to deliver a 10-1 (Dem) congressional delegation in November, compared to 6-5 (Dem) now. The remaining obstacle: State supreme court will be weighing in still.

Some progressives & Democrats need to stop justifying refusing to vote or 3rd party voting by saying Biden "didn't do anything." He did a whole damn lot. Facts matter. And so does a young liberal SCOTUS justice who will protect civil rights for decades. www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/fa...

This is a war based on lies

Two U.S. Embassy staffers and two Mexican law enforcement officials die in an unspecified accident following a drug eradication operation in Mexico, authorities say.

The FBI Director, the DC US Attorney, and the Secretary of Defense walk into a bar. Apparently like every day.

WTF?

SENATOR @andykimnj.bsky.social : “The American people are livid about what’s happening. Trump’s war of choice is being fought in our name, at our expense, but without our say. It must end… Trump’s playing chicken in the Strait of Hormuz, and it’s the 🇺🇸 people who struggle and pay for it.”
