it's really, really fucking infuriating to be ruled by public officials so unbelievably, unfathomably, stupidly fucking racist such that you can't really finish your thoughts on the matter out loud because they are in fact public officials
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."
Walter was a gentleman who spoke eloquently. He commanded respect.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.
Here’s the ad that has Florida Republicans going the prior-restraint route. (The details of the grand-jury report have been widely known and shared for 2 months.)
Excellent break down of where we're at. Can it be done? Seems possible. Get out there and call your friends in these states, and see if your wallet has some extra juice for them.
Senate Races - "Running in the Red" with Big Money

Happy 72nd Birthday to Ruby Bridges, who at the age of 6 desegregated the New Orleans public schools.
She’s younger than 30 senators and our last two presidents—and only 7 years older than Barack Obama.
The past isn’t past.
Happy #StarTrekDay!
We want the internet awash in love for this hopeful, thought-provoking franchise, so here are some banners that celebrate the different flavors of #StarTrek!
Which series is your favorite?

"It's given a lot of people permission to be themselves, to not dream it, be it, which is the motto of the movie, really. I would like to be remembered for that."
Farewell to Tim Curry (1946-2026) #RIP
So that SCOTUS ruling means Trump has a go-ahead? Oregon says "hold my beer." Checking on IL to see if we are also joining in on stopping this illegal election interference.
We’re not going to let President Trump interfere in our elections.
Today’s Supreme Court ruling — on a procedural issue — is a temporary setback, nothing more.
Oregonians can be confident that our elections will remain safe, secure, and accurate. #orpol
Please don't overreact to Roberts Court decision on the contemplated USPS ballot moves
They simply held that the injunction came too early in the process, before there was a final rule👇
Now we HAVE a final rule & we will litigate it. I'm as confident in our arguments here as in any of our cases!
Lawmakers across the globe seem to think age gating the internet will "protect the kids." We're explaining why mandatory age verification will do more harm than good at 1:30 pm PT today at #DEFCON on Creator Stage 7. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...
🇬🇪RECOMMENDED. Civic Council of Georgia has launched a new accountability tool and information bank on Georgia.
It documents the individuals behind Georgian Dream's repression, entry by entry, from public sources. It is a new project.
It needs eyes and follows. Please help.

Houston is watching, and Houston is not backing down. Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was on his way to work Monday morning when an ICE agent shot and killed him.
Neighbors, faith leaders and families are done waiting for answers, and Rep. Garcia is standing with them. #LorenzoSalgadoAraujo
Texans, vote for Gina Hinojosa! She hangs out with Willie, she doesn't want to kill pregnant women and force feed Christian sharia law down your throats. It's time to push Greg right on out of the governor's mansion in Austin.
⚡️Thousands gather for Kyiv's largest Pride march since start of full-scale war.
Ahead of the event in support of the LGBTQ+ community, a counter-demonstration was held in Kyiv, involving supporters of "traditional family values" and far-right activists.
Wilson Cruz: Our rainbow flag is battle-worn. Because this spring, blocks from this theater, the Pride flag was removed from the national memorial of the Stonewall uprising—and it was only returned when activists brought it back themselves.
BREAKING: we are NOT accepting media reports as proof that the $1.8B slush fund & "settlements" associated with it are dead
That's why we @democracydefendersfund.org have just filed a new lawsuit to make sure this ENDS --on behalf of former J6 prosecutors with Platkin LLP, WLG & Heaphy Smith
A wave is building, the kind that comes once a generation, when people have been pushed too far and they decide all at once and all together that enough is enough.

NEW: A group of hacktivists calling themselves "Department of Peace" claims to have hacked an office wihin the Department of Homeland Security.
The hacktivists leaked data on more than 6,000 contracts between DHS/ICE and private companies to the transparency website Distributed Denial of Secrets.
We’re suing to stop DHS’s unlawful use of tear gas and other toxic chemicals near an affordable housing community in Portland, OR.
Here’s what residents have to say.
When Bad Bunny scaled a utility pole during his Super Bowl show, it was more than a stunt. His performance highlighted Puerto Rico's frequent power cuts, which have been exacerbated by energy privatization. We're fighting for an equitable and just clean energy system for all Puerto Ricans.
Worth stating plainly: when Olympic athletes criticize the Trump agenda as damaging to American ideals and the GOP responds with threats and calls to silence them, it literally validates the criticism.
I’m Alex Vindman and I’m running for the U.S. Senate. Chaos, corruption and sky-rocketing costs are crushing ordinary people, while the billionaires and career politicians profit.
I stepped up when my country needed a soldier and now I’m stepping up again to fight for Floridians.
