Elections aren’t every 4 years or every 2 years, they’re every year. In California we have a special election for prop 50 and it’s a YES. If Texas can gerrymander then we should be able to. I know my comments will be filled with bots, but I won’t be intimidated. Our democracy is vanishing❤️

Far too many institutions are bending the knee to Trump and preemptively giving in to his demands. It’s encouraging to see these airports refuse to entertain this administration’s lawlessness. Kudos to them — hopefully their courage inspires others to follow suit. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Whenever I see a republican, all I can think about is how they murder peasant fishermen for trying to feed their families in Venezuela.
There’s nothing more demonic than a supporter of the GOP. 💩

SCOTUS has been focused on chipping away at civil rights laws and policies for 20 years.

Today, the justices will hear oral arguments in a case that could represent not just another chip, but a fatal blow to the load-bearing pillar of American multi-racial democracy: The 1965 Voting Rights Act.

Voting Rights Are on the Supreme Court’s Chopping Block

Tuesday's case pits fanciful claims of racial harmony against the reality of ongoing discrimination.

Republicans are (pathetically) trying to brand Saturday's multiple "No Kings" protests as "Hate America" rallies; prove them wrong, fly your American flags with pride. There is nothing more American than peacefully protesting on behalf of democracy over monarchy/theocracy/kleptocracy/kakistocracy...

Trump is stooping so low that he’s gutting the federal Office of Special Education.

Attacking students with disabilities is wrong. Every child in America deserves a fair shot at success.

Amid shutdown, Trump administration guts department overseeing special education

Multiple sources tell NPR that as part of the Trump administration's latest reduction-in-force, the U.S. Department of Education has gutted the office that handles special education.

So let me get this straight: MAGA believes you’re an elite if you go to high school or travel 50 miles from home?

And that you’re salt of the earth when you adorn the White House in gold and build a glitzy ballroom?
