Just a reminder of who Thom Tillis is: In 2013, as N.C. House Speaker, he passed a massive voter suppression law that was struck down because it targeted Black voters "with almost surgical precision.” In the Senate he voted against the Freedom to Vote Act and the John R. Lewis Voting Right Act.
Murray: This bill polls like garbage because it is garbage. That's why it should go nowhere except a trash bin
The people DEMAND change... We are TIRED of moderate Democrats mucking things up! Cant play scared and expect to win!
Let's goo NYC!
Why are no headlines focusing on the unconstitutional and dictatorial nature of this action?
We live in a rogue and dangerous country. Do what you need to do to maintain your internal peace. Hold the core of your spirit. Pray for peace. Commit yourself to justice. And just rest.
Take note.
I want to see Black women I don’t even know WIN……I want to see Black women enjoying life.. that makes me so happy…
FYI to media outlets, you're misleading your readers if you repeat this at face value. There's no lawful way for him to redirect these grants elsewhere. It's a lie to distract from how the GOP budget guts educational funding, including Pell Grants at trade schools.
I am saddened to learn of the passing of Congressman Charlie Rangel. A founding member of the Congressional Black Caucus. A fearless fighter for Harlem. A decorated veteran who never stopped serving the people.
Read the transcript of the brilliant Mishal Husain’s interview with Elon Musk & see just how annoyed he gets at very simple & basic questions & how he childishly lashes out, & also ask yourself why US media interviewers can’t do interviews like this.

I'm thinking seriously about muting Jake Tapper, and muting the word "Tapper" and the phrase "Biden's age." And I may very well start muting people who keep talking about this story that I am so very very done with. And ffs people, please don't buy his crappy book.
The Supreme Court just blocked the Trump administration from using the Alien Enemies Act to deport a group of immigrants without due process. @ivey.house.gov, member of the Homeland Security Committee, joins “The Weeknight” table to break down the Court’s ruling.
Trump’s attempted takeover of the LOC may also be a test case to see how susceptible congressional Republicans are to his power grab. If they let him install ideologues throughout the LOC, maybe they’d let him do the same to other indispensable legislative entities.
Kamala Harris: The courage of Americans who are speaking out to say, it is not ok to violate court orders. Saying it is not ok to detain and disappear American citizens or anyone without due process. The courage of judges to uphold the rule of law in the face of those who would jail them.

This from @oliverdarcy.bsky.social is very worrying and also important
This needs to be amplified. Dems need to be on necks with this messaging....
Buffoons, the whole lot of em...
I'll just leave this here...
The cruelty and the stupidity is the point
Love these three... Im still still salty about Joy though...
A very strong letter?! 🙄

Katie Phang: And now that my time here at MSNBC comes to a close, I am taking that fight back to a familiar place… I hope you'll follow along with me as I continue to meet you where you are at places like Substack and YouTube with fellow truth tellers like MeidasTouch…
Frontline communities face more environmental hazards from corporations and big polluters because of years of systemic racism. Cutting these positions puts millions of working families - mostly Black and Brown - at risk. www.dailyclimate.org/epa-slashes-...

But we’ll “make so much money from tariffs.” Colossally ignorant and harmful.
Thats the distinction needed, we dont have time for the culture war smokescreen...
If you defend this or try and explain this away, you’re a monster and I don’t know how you sleep at night.
Canada, please get it right with your election.... I'm rooting for you.
Abrego Garcia v. Noem et al. (U.S. Court of Appeals, 4th Circuit) decision denying U.S. government's petition for an emergency stay and a writ of mandamus. It is a short, well-written, and well-reasoned opinion. I urge you to take some time to read its seven pages. www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/facn3...

Turns out autocracy is bad for business
NO ONE should be sent to El Salvador, you baby-brained losers. My God.
China really upping their trolling game since the tariffs.

🚨NEW: The NC Supreme Court's GOP majority will retroactively nullify 2,000 to 7,000 ballots from military and overseas voters unless they quickly prove their identity—but only those who voted in a few Democratic counties. Could overturn Justice Riggs' victory. appellate.nccourts.org/orders.php?t...
How much you wanna bet that soon we’ll find out it’ll cost $100 billion or some such amount to fix everything he broke?
That’s the national emergency??????????????????
Books are teachers. Books are resistance. Books are time machines. Books are tools for liberation. Read more books.

More in No, Other People: New poll: “America would be better off if more people worked in manufacturing.” • 80% of Americans agree • 20% disagree “I would be better off if I worked in a factory.” • 25% of Americans agree • 73% disagree • 2% currently work in a factory
China said if you want to go low... we're taking it to HELL 😭
they don't call you "difficult" because you have boundaries. they call you difficult because they miss the convenience of your compliance. stand firm.
that would be so trashy
Fascism organizes itself around violence. Authoritarian expert Ruth Ben-Ghiat explains (link to full video below):
My law firm is currently litigating 49 voting and election cases in 21 states. States with the most cases: AZ, GA, NC, NV, FL, LA, PA. I expect new cases will be filed this week.

Precisely.
BREAKING: Judge reinstates AP's access to Oval Office in blow to White House
"The implication...is that not only noncitizens but also U.S. citizens could be taken off the streets, forced onto planes, and confined to foreign prisons with no opportunity for redress if judicial review is denied unlawfully before removal. History is no stranger to such lawless regimes..."
Shoutout to Rachel Maddow for giving the "Hands Off" protest proper coverage..
#ICYMI: Speaker Mike Johnson lives in a $3.7 million D.C. townhouse with evangelical pastor Steve Berger, who has attacked the separation of church and state as “a delusional lie." Berger's project: ministering to members of Congress so that what “they learn is then translated into policy.”
Last night I wrote about Abrego Garcia’s case. Today, SCOTUS confirmed it’s true. Even though their stay is just temporary, he remains in cruel & unusual conditions in a foreign prison with no recourse. It could happen to any of us. joycevance.substack.com/p/the-week-a...
Welcome!
Are people hearing @maddow.msnbc.com describe where Trump got the idea of tariffs as economic policy?? I can’t….I really can’t.
Fascism begins with censorship. Hitler's Ministry of Public Enlightenment & Propaganda banned "subversive" textbooks. Andrew Jackson tried to outlaw "divisive" anti-slavery literature. White mobs destroyed 100+ "radical" Black newspapers. Now it's Trump's turn.

Whoa there...
I just signed 40 extra books at the Harvard Bookstore and they told me to tell everyone that they ship *nationally* in case anybody is interested in a signed copy. Just give them a call. :)
Senator Corey Booker holding the floor of the US Senate right now is the energy we need from ALL of our representatives in I'm Congress.

Sometime very soon we’re going to have to have the conversation about how many so-called progressives also wanted “DEI” to die & what all that mainstream endorsement of the propaganda around what at their essence were integration efforts says about people who believe themselves to be the good guys.
Ask Marco Rubio about the detention of this Cuban national.
Our immigration policies should not be wielded as union busting, political cudgels. Or as ways to suppress freedom of speech or assembly.
Good morning. Listen, you have to just decide. They are not taking the Black Smithsonian. Resolve it in your spirit.
This needs to be said more and loudly.
Based on the replies l, it looks like there a lot of fed workers on @bsky.app I just wanted to say THANK YOU. I can't imagine the shit you are going through right now Thanks for your service to our country
Nice solidarity here when Greene calls on an American: "I'm an American journalist, and I'd like to hear your answer to what she's asking."
Finally able to use my bluesky again...
Trigger warning: 🍊 has now declared an invasion and orders domestic use of the military at the southern border, authorizing full military force.
Oh, come on! At the inauguration? Are you f*cking ketamine with this?
I have no time for content creators, celebrities, influencers, artists, peddling garbage products to my community while exploiting their humanity... Silence is not an option...

I'm sorry America failed you And the other officers Harry.
The Nazis think this was a Nazi salute, but, hey, what would they know?
🍊 has signed executive order withdrawing from the World Health Organization.
🍊 has also lifted Biden era orders on offshore drilling restrictions..
🍊 has also rescinded a Biden era executive order that created an interagency taskforce that reunified immigrant children with their families that HE seperated them from at the southern border....
🍊 has signed an order withdrawing from the Paris Climate Agreement, AGAIN..
So the US Senate just passed the Laken Riley Act in first move after 🍊's inauguration... @elissa.slotkin you are my elected official and 1 of a handful of Democrats that voted for this... Shame on you.

No matter where you fall on the TikTok ban, the President undoing by “executive order” a law passed by Congress and upheld unanimously by the Supreme Court is an unconstitutional abuse of power.
Sending one up as this new portal opens at midnight... May my lord and savior continue guide my feet and strengthen me along this journey.🙏🏼
Trump originally called for a ban on TikTok. Now, he’s counting on people’s ignorance to claim he’ll be its savior. When people know the facts it’s less easy to manipulate them.
All folks had to do was vote for Kamala Harris...
My fellow Americans, I want more for you, than Tik Tok and empty promises....
Now that TikTok has officially gone dark, I’m re-upping my post from a few days ago to remind folks that this praise for Trump is wrong.
This is right. But we have an answer: Come over to Substack. @contrariannews.org never goes "dark" - and we have TikTok stars: contrarian.substack.com/p/the-other-...
Im watching Nelly's interview with Willie D... and this is disappointing to say the least.. He's actively making excuses for 🍊.. this is, just WOW. I grew up on Country Grammar, Nellyville...
