Pure, undiluted Republican racism. Because Republican lawmakers want their white brothers-in-law to have jobs. Because the deacons at their church want to repair the roofs on Tennessee homes. Because trad wives want to get a little sun and fresh air working in the fields and orchards. Phuequars.

Fucking facts. Democrats are held to a much higher standard than the Rapepublicans. While they "smash and grab", we're expected to clean up behind them. Every.Single.Time.

In the Southern state I lived in, people were pulled over for broken taillights, window tinting that was "too dark," license plate frames that obscured any, even minimal, portion of the license plate. Police then claim to smell marijuana. Ugly ensued.

Brent Taylor is the front-runner for one of Memphis’ U.S. congressional districts, recently redrawn from majority Black to majority white. As state senator, he repeatedly used his power to supersede local officials — and the will of the city’s voters. @wendicthomas.bsky.social @mlk50.com

The most impactful book I read back in the day, I mean, at publication and through to today. Re second wave feminism, the personalities, the inner fractures, the successes. Controversial, unquestionably. A beautiful and rich memoir.

“The goal was not to create a viable alternative energy source, but simply, as one internal memo put it, to make consumers ‘[b]elieve ExxonMobil is committed to helping solve climate change.’”

“We have likely seen just a sliver of the evidence they have that shows they’ve spent decades knowingly deceiving the public about climate science, climate harms, and their commitment to climate action.” More truth to be uncovered. Stay tuned.

I held a Budget hearing on what our investigation found in the records of the industry. But sometimes, what wasn’t found was just as important as what was.

If you took a job you knew you could only keep for six months or four years, or whatever, because you'd get injured or hit a slump despite your dedication, you'd need a maximum payout, too. Especially if you'd been recruited out of high school. No future. www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2026/...

Every mistake that Dijit makes, every cruelty, every lie, is something we need to be sorry for. WTF? Why would you say that? Because every mistake made, each weakness that Dijit shows, gives a successor authoritarian an opportunity to say, "Here's what he got wrong and I'm going to fix."

Polish women took to the streets in more than 20 cities and towns to protest the lack of access to abortion. The goverment has failed to fulfill its promise to relax Poland’s strict abortion laws. The protesters said the recent moves to ease the law are a meaningless ploy to get votes.

These NYCHA residents have fought to reopen their senior center for 25 years. Today, we're delivering — along with a renovated community center, child care center and modernized apartments for 5,000 residents.

This is the plane that was supposed to go to Equatorial Guinea today. Unclear if it will make a different TCR stop to replace it, or if it will proceed straight to its scheduled stop in Burundi. We’ll see…

Trump and Musk cannot be charged with treason. Chief Justice Marshall: “the crime of treason should not be extended by construction to doubtful cases” and concluded that no conspiracy for overturning the Government and “no enlisting of men to effect it, would be an actual levying of war.”

Musk should be in prison.

English law allowed the charge of treason, with punishment of death, against anyone who even appeared to think, say, or do anything that could negatively impact the health of the monarch. Completely subjective and the reason why British monarchs were able to execute their critics so easily.

I’ll never forget what the parents of Harper — who was killed in the Annunciation Church shooting — told me: change is possible and necessary. I’m grateful they joined me today to keep fighting for that change.
