The Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act of 1965 this week. It was a slap in the face to the countless activists who fought for the VRA — and those who died for it. But we cannot give up. Here's how we should respond.

REP. @aftynbehn.bsky.social : “Well, that concludes our 250 year 🇺🇸 experiment, because Grandma Gone Wild @MarshaBlackburn decided to eliminate the last Democratically held seat in Tennessee, in MEMPHIS, where 65% of the constituents are Black. We need international attention on this.”

Trump is killing the economy. Spirit Airlines is gone. After 34 years, the airline shut down before dawn this morning every flight canceled, every employee out of a job, millions of passengers left scrambling. And the story of how it happened is a direct line back to Trump’s war with Iran.

"Your bike hobby is cute, but we have a child and our grocery shopping is substantial." Ok, here's $384 worth of warehouse store grocery shopping, complete with 3 boxes of baby formula. I didn't put wear and tear on our car and don't know today's price of gasoline.

I’ll never truly believe that Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris lost to that vile piece of shit and I’ll always believe election fraud, voter suppression, illegal gerrymandering, and Putin’s Russia interference are responsible for that.

My name is Ken I'm from Seattle. My mom worked at a church my Dad drove a beer truck for the union. They raised seven kids in a 7 bedroom house by Greenlake on a truck driver's salary. None of that is even remotely possible now. We have to make the working class high priority in the country again.

UNLIKE Obama, Biden, FDR and most USA POTUSs - who believed “The Buck Stops Here” ( a way to say don’t blame others when things go wrong on your watch )-Trump & cronies take the opposite FASCIST MANIPULATION approach of: “Always Blame the Opponent of One’s OWN Crimes”. Evil Fascists BLAME THE GOOD!

To be clear. America has some TERRIBLE people. They voted for TERRIBLE people to represent them. These TERRIBLE people are making TERRIBLE decisions. They DO NOT like democracy. They DO NOT like freedom. They ARE NOT patriots. They DO NOT want to form a more perfect union. This is America 2026.

What is happening in Louisiana right now is both a redistricting power grab and a dry run for authoritarian election subversion this Fall. The governor has declared a state of emergency to suspend the congressional elections because he doesn't like the current map.
