60 years ago today, the signing of the Voting Rights Act ensured representation for every community in the nation. Trump is attempting to violate that law now to roll back our progress. This isn't just about Texas – this is about America. I'm proud to stand for our democracy.

from "this week in stupid," my wrap-up of the dumbest fucking shit that happened. Margie Greene loses a battle of wits with an AI, Donny cons crypto dipshits out of millions, and more. please read the whole thing here: bit.ly/4mrrEVf thanks! (and as always, there's a longer excerpt in the alt text)

"X is racist. The only thing up for debate is whether this is a feature or a bug for those in charge," writes Charlie Warzel.

Jake Tapper's book is nothing more than the corporate media trying to shift the blame for 2024 off themselves. Unsure how people can't see this.

MeidasTouch host Ben Meiselas reports on the secret photos and videos that MeidasTouch uncovered from the Trump meme coin dinner.

Yup. This.

Stephen Miller’s words come to life. This administration’s vision for our schools.

Not all heroes wear capes.

Crypto holds sway because money holds sway. If we could take the money out of campaigning, or at least, substantially lessen its power, politicians could be more responsive to their constituents.

Legal challenges to President Trump’s El Salvador deportations have focused on due process, writes @conor64.bsky.social. Less attention has been paid to another constitutional protection: the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition on “cruel and unusual punishment.”

The Narcan Program Has Saved Thousands Of Lives! This Is Barbaric!

I mean…they’ve never hidden the over sexualization of women. It is the basis for the saddest geek’s rise. Zuck should write a book on how to turn rejection into profit.

The lack of responsibility and ethics never ends with these companies: www.wsj.com/tech/ai/meta...

People all over the world see the mental instability, gross incompetence, and fascist aspirations of the person occupying the White House. It's a tragedy that so many people in America can't. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/i-just-got...

Remember these words… “I will vote for you if you are brave…”

Do you guys understand how Russian propaganda works? If you don't, this 13:37 video We'll describe exactly how it works. This is why so many people in America support Donald Trump. And we all saved we don't understand, well this is how they did it. youtu.be/Z1EA2ohrt5Q?...

I’m just saying, a REAL President could get someone back from El Salvador.

I propose swapping the man mistakenly deported to El Salvador with the man mistakenly elected president of the United States

@aoc.bsky.social: We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real.

www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi... If this does not frighten you, it should. Overt racism. Disrespect. If I was Michelle I’d be mad as hell that Barrack sat beside this man and was not only cordial but laughed with him. I’m like Michelle…diss me at all and you are DEAD to me! Birther was enough!

Exactly! One aspect of Malignant Narcissism is Sadism. People don’t fathom how deeply Trump's driven by it. In normal folk those impulses are offset by caring emotion. Trump has none. He takes glee from others' suffering. Shutdowns, cuts, El Salvador deportations, markets tanking - it's fun for him.

my humble opinion is that if your job is to manage risk and make big decisions about markets and you screw up your judgement this badly you should be disqualified from ever managing money and also shunned completely from speaking on the subject in public again

This continues to be the biggest story in the country: DOGE has already squandered half a trillion dollars in 6 weeks. Not billion. half a trillion, $500 billion talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/irs-p...

He hates the military. We are just props.

Carney: The system of global trade anchored on the United States.. is over. Our old relationship of steadily deepening integration with the United States is over. The 80 year period when the United States embraced the mantle of economic leadership… is over.

Interesting paper shows shingles booster appears to reduce risk of Alzheimer’s by 20% Interestingly, anyone born before September 2, 1933 was ineligible for the vaccine and anyone born afterwards was eligible…

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

When people tell you, show you, gaslight you, and have always served themselves over any and everyone else - effing BELIEVE them!!!

At one of his frequent press conferences (because he loves being on TV), I'd love it if some reporter piped up with, "What do you say to people who call you a know-nothing narcissistic asshole, Mr. President?"

Life comes at you ... at exactly the rate it promised to come at you during its 4-year re-election campaign where it told you exactly what it planned to do literally thousands of times.

I don’t think we’ll be able to afford invading Greenland now.

History made

Senator Cory Booker has now broken the record for the longest Senate Floor speech, previously held by Strom Thurmond (24 hours 18 minutes).

JD Vance holds a JD from Yale Law (and so do I). Presumably, he knows that he is disregarding the law here, and being deceptive about the protections it affords. (1/6)

ICYMI — SENATOR BOOKER: “I rise to disrupt the business of the senate for as long as I am physically able… because I believe sincerely our country is in crisis.” 🇺🇸

what booker is doing right now is an example of what i mean when i say things like “we need more ambition right now.” there is room in american politics right now for people with ambition to take big stands and reap the rewards. he’s doing it!
