I can think of no more fitting way to honor Mitch McConnell’s service to this nation than by prolonging his death for the benefit of the GOP that will ultimately be destroyed.
Who thinks it’s a coincidence that Netanyahu is talking about ramping down US military aid to Israel to zero while Trump is talking about merging the US and Israeli militaries? Americans are not THAT stupid, right?
You know how when someone gets their private information leaked by a government agency, they usually sue to be exempted from various laws and legal scrutiny? Ok, maybe not “usually” but occasionally? Well, not exactly “occasionally” but never, ever because that would be outrageous and cause riots.
Confident going into the midterms or predicting the death of the GOP? In the 1974 midterms after Nixon resigned in disgrace, dems swept the elections by wide margins, winning a veto-proof majority in the house, 4 seats in the senate, and 13 governorships. Reagan was elected in 1980.
If anyone wants to argue that the Great Experiment of American self governance hasn’t run its course and failed, I will counter with the irrefutable argument that Donald J Trump is currently serving his second term as POTUS. check and mate.
Happy Mother’s Day to Renée Good. Today, we honor her memory, her courage, & the ultimate sacrifice she made. She should be here with her babies today, but her legacy lives on in the people she loved, the lives she touched, & the continued fight for a more compassionate & just world. 💐
If citizens cannot exercise our power through elections, the alternatives escalate towards violence very quickly. Trump fearing being Orbaned may be opting for being Mussolinied.
The U.S. has spent billions to lose a war that enriches its oligarchs, impoverishes the citizenry, sabotages its alliances, and strengthens its enemies. Empires have risen and failed before, but to my knowledge no state has ever chosen to kill its own power.

Racist gerrymandering can be utterly defeated by anti-racist voters making up a significant majority of voters. We have to make racism an unendurable stain that burns its wearer like acid, and we need to offer to wash it away for the converted. Racism has no place in a just world.
Black Americans and women are the most forgiving and peace loving people on the planet. I also believe they have limits and we’re about to find out what happens when they reach them. Thankfully, they have more allies than in any previous era and their oppressors are weaker.
Now, while Americans are more united than in recent memory in being pissed off at a criminal regime and failed ideology, we should form broad coalitions to purge our government and institutions of traitors and relentlessly claw back our rights and power over oligarchs and their partners.
1. ICE has not paid for detainee medical care for 7 MONTHS
The termination of payments to providers has coincided with a MASSIVE SPIKE in detainee deaths.
This is a health crisis and a moral crisis.

It’s entirely possible Putin ordered Trump to start his war with Iran so that Putin’s invasion of Ukraine wouldn’t go down as the greatest military blunder in modern history.
How do we make SCOTUS non-partisan? By getting rid of political parties by getting rid of elections. Elections are incompatible with democracy and incentivize division and conflict.
Remember when Bill O’Reilly interviewed Trump and asked about Putin, and Trump said it’s better to get along with Russia because it helps fight Islamic terrorism and it’s ok that Putin is a killer because we’re not so innocent? I do.
Every day I argue with people who don’t think voters are responsible for their votes. These people almost always accuse me of being a “lib” or “Blue MAGA” for arguing that voters are adults and have agency. They want to talk about anything but voters and voting and refuse to engage with my argument.
BREAKING: MAGA influencer Craig Long has just been arrested after being caught in a human sex trafficking sting operation.
The accused Sex Trafficker was just pictured with Donald Trump and Trump Jr. at a UFC fight in Miami on April 11, 2026.

One of the many problems an incoming Democrat administration is going to face is that many Americans are more familiar with the legal definition of treason and will rightfully demand it is applied to the leadership of the outgoing GOP regime. If justice is done, many republicans could swing.
I guess I was too subtle earlier. Read the below, and then reflect on how one year later, he joined the marines to fight in Iraq, had a 16-year career as a soldier and then as a mercenary, reported he loved it, and then reconverted to leftism. I'm sorry! That's a red flag! It just is!
While Louisiana v. Callais might appear to be an attack on elections, it is not. It is an attack on democracy using elections as the weapon. Elections are incompatible with democracy and incentivize division and conflict. Make me dictator and I’ll fire every politician and replace them with citizens
Even though the GOP and its SCOTUS are eager to turn the clock back to a more racist American past, Americans are not. We will demonstrate our refusal to reward hatred at every opportunity and in ways the regime cannot imagine, let alone predict. We will choose brotherhood and defeat tyranny.
Justice Thurgood Marshall, dissenting in Mobile v. Alabama, which gave us the 1982 amendments to the Voting Rights Act of 1965 that the Supreme Court just nullified in Louisiana v. Callais.
Every word applies to the current majority:

On a recent trip to a local beach I watched a kid, about 10 yo, standing waist deep in very cold water, dredging up floating seaweed, spreading it out, and pressing it against his face, like a mask. I could almost feel it, and I envied him.
🔴PAY ATTENTION: The Governor of Louisiana is declaring an emergency to cancel an ongoing election so that his party can rig the rules moving forward. This is not just about redistricting... www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The best way to defeat racial gerrymandering is for voters to not be racist. Race should not be a basis for disagreeing on policies or candidates. If it is, there’s a problem, and the problem is racism. Let’s stop doing that.
Absolute truth from Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist Mike Luckovich. We warned you. You did it anyway.
At that one moment, all you had to do was check the right box for a thriving, peaceful and successful life. And now every decent American is under complete, life-threatening assault.
