Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

Black people are giving it these Confederates raw and uncut. This is how it’s gonna be now. You wonder what we’re thinking? It’s this. I believe this is activist Gary Chambers again in Louisiana.

Again. But we have to fight every inch of the way before November. Watch the full interview here: youtu.be/SCse1FFEKLM

This is the bizarro world the Supreme Court has created with its latest voting rights decision. Thank you Jon Stewart and & @thedailyshow.com You can watch my entire conversation with Jon here: youtu.be/SCse1FFEKLM

No sugar-coating the Court’s decision today. Real talk. @allinwithchris.bsky.social

This is why I keep this video in my phone. Take the L Trump.

The @nytimes.com reporting reveals more about the dysfunction and poor leadership at the Supreme Court. These revelations underscore the brilliant observations of @mjsdc.bsky.social , @audrelawdamercy.blacksky.app , and @nanagyamfi.bsky.social at our 14th Amendment Ctr symposium last week.

Some evenings downtown Baltimore is just impossibly beautiful and peaceful.

Two brilliant civil rights lawyers - one Asian American; one Black American. Both women. @aclu.org’s Cecellia Wang & @legaldefensefund.bsky.social’s @janainelson.bsky.social. They argued two of the most consequential cases in SCOTUS this year. This embrace is one of my favorite moments of the day.

LISTEN. Thank you, Cecellia Wang.

Oral argument begins in a few minutes in a case involving the RNC’s attempt to override state laws that allow a grace period for the arrival of mail-in ballots. It’s a bait and switch designed to disqualify masses of mailed ballots. Last week this is how Republicans talked about mail delivery.

How will the U.S. pay back the illegal tariffs? Every reporter should reference this and ask Trump exactly how much money is on “the tariff shelf.” Cut ‘em a check. The “tariff shelf” is among the more unhinged of Trump’s many unhinged statements on his illegal tariffs.

This may be a rare moment of honesty from Noem. A week before Alex Pretti was executed, I had some thoughts about that training…

This video is the perfect encapsulation of the illegal, thuggish, unprovoked, violent conduct of ICE. Rep. @benniethompson.bsky.social, I trust that you and the House Homeland Security Committee will have interest in this.

Every word here is a lie except “and” and “the.” First things first. The call must be for this woman and Greg Bovino who was on the scene today to IMMEDIATELY RESIGN.

Today, after the Coast Guard lifted a ban on swastikas and nooses as symbols of hate, and after President Trump called for the execution of members of Congress, it is time for every American to decide. Who will you be? Here is Burt Lancaster as Nazi era judge Ernst Janning in Judgment at Nuremberg.

WHAT TARIFF MONEY? This ridiculous fantasy that the U.S. has a stash of “tariff money” is absurd. It’s among the most unhinged of Trump fantasies which his aides must co-sign to try and divert attention from the madness of the claim. Remember this? “The tariff shelf”? Crazy stuff.

Didn’t have a chance to listen to @janainelson.bsky.social’s brilliant argument before the SCOTUS? You can listen here: www.c-span.org/program/publ... Here’s a moment of her opening. Your welcome!

Listen to how casually Justice Gorsuch presents as fact the idea that remedying racial gerrymandering requires racial discrimination.
