Tomorrow the Supreme Court will hear arguments in the most important redistricting and voting rights case of the term. Democracy Docket isn't just covering it for the day. It has been covering this case for years.

Support its vital work to help keep you informed. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

When Republicans are pre-butting a pro-democracy rally like No Kings and making shit up left and right to scare people, you know they're losing and in panic mode.

I sat in the woods early this morning, watching and listening to a Red-Bellied Woodpecker. It's moments like this...that help me keep my stress hormones somewhat balanced. That woodpecker knew nothing about what Trump threatens. It was focused on what was in front of it: the tree it was clinging to.

Important piece by Prof. Kate Andrias. This is why treating SCOTUS as the only word on the Constitution gives away our power as citizens.

As I frequently say “we are founders and framers” of the next iteration of democracy in this country.

Shapiro: I filed that amicus brief last night to make it very clear that the Pennsylvania National Guard is under my command.

The way the President has chosen to deploy the Guard in other states—and, in at least one case, deploy the Guard from one state into another—is extremely dangerous.
My state's proactive leader. Thank you, Governor Shapiro.
Just like that...you come by with loving care...☮️
Especially in my neck of the woods, W. Central PA. 😊
"He seen that...etc." Yep. English-only, Marge, you can be the test proctor. 🧐
MTG > dimwit.
What criteria would the "English-only" be? 🤔 Considering how some in the U.S. slaughter the language...will there be proficiency test? She couldn't pass it.... 😜
Really enjoyed your podcast w/Rosie; lighthearted and from the heart. Looking forward to your tête-à-tête w/Anthony S. He knows stuff. 😎

Thank you @vinguptamd.bsky.social for refuting RFK Jr.'s vaccine misinformation video.
On Monday, RFK posted a rambling video on the HHS X account showing a series of graphs and directly stating that vaccines have had minimal impact on human health and saving lives.

Today, in response, we brought our own graphs.

We will not let his dangerous nonsense go unanswered.

Barbra Streisand is joining Jane Fonda and 600+ entertainment figures in re-launching the Committee for the First Amendment. Fonda announced the revival of the organization, initially founded by her father, Henry Fonda. The organization was founded in the 1940s to defend free speech against fascism.
