"This is a highly corrupt court...they're saying that you can use race as a pretext for law enforcement stops...it's okay to racially profile...going to allow states like Alabama to roll back voting protections that have really only been in place for one generation." @SenBooker
Scott Pelley gave an impassioned speech a year ago that’s worth watching today.
Kudos to him and other 60 Minutes correspondents and staff for defending the media and our democracy.
“The story of this era isn’t merely that powerful men demand obedience. History is full of powerful men demanding obedience. The story of this era is whether enough Americans still possess the courage to refuse. Scott Pelley did.”

Watch this absolutely insane back-and-forth in which @SecMullinDHS tells @ChrisMurphyCT that he has no obligation to follow court orders and defends ICE's noncompliance with "more court orders than some agencies violated in their entire history."
One day we will look back on the murder of “60 Minutes” as one of the travesties of Trump’s reign.
In the meantime, thank you Scott Pelley for telling the truth. Thank you, former “60 Minutes” producers, correspondents, and staff, for telling the truth.
And now, we should boycott CBS. https://t.co/dusMiZXyVn
When the Supreme Court repeatedly attacks voting rights and bends over backwards to a wannabe king, we should call it what it is.
This Court is racist, corrupt….and the American people deserve better.
🚨 The Supreme Court just let Alabama Republicans change the rules and use a racist congressional map for this year’s midterm elections.
It’s time for us to organize, mobilize, and vote like we’ve never voted before!
BREAKING: The Trump administration is reportedly removing January 6 indictments and conviction records from government websites in what critics are calling an open attempt to erase the public record of the Capitol attack.
And the most remarkable part?
They are not even hiding it.
This is no longer just about pardons or political messaging.
This is about historical memory itself.
Government databases are supposed to preserve official records regardless of who is in power.
So when an administration starts deleting documentation connected to one of the most consequential political events in modern American history, people are going to see it as something much bigger than routine website maintenance.
They are going to see it as an attempt to rewrite the historical archive in real time.
President Trump's nearly $1.8 billion slush fund is unconstitutional, illegal and a fraud on the court—and the country.
Everyone—Democrats, Republicans, Independents—must reject this total usurpation of the other branches and flat-out violation of our nation's laws.
The American people know the truth: Trump’s policies are making them sicker and poorer. Families can't keep up with the cost of groceries, healthcare, and gas because of Trump’s chaos, cruelty and corruption.
Together we must fight to redeem the American dream for working families.

Don't forget to buy your seat for this years 66th annual NSMA awards ceremony on June 29th, using the link below.
It's funny. New Giants quarterback, Jaxson Dart doesn't like the fallout from fans, his teammates and other NFL players over him gleefully introducing Donald Trump at a Trump rally. Its been recently found out that Jaxson Dart is a big MAGA fan. Dart has liked many of Trump's posts on mass deportations, anti-LGBTQ and removal of black studies in schools.
This from a guy who cosplays black swagger as being cool. Yet, takes it upon himself to go to and introduce Trump at a rally. Trump is the president. Why is he still holding rallies?
You voluntarily put yourself in this situation. So, you can't be upset when people around you, who thought you were cool are upset by your alliance with an outright racist. Please dont play in our faces.
BREAKING: we just won our Kennedy Center case!
Both the renaming & the closure of the Kennedy Center are enjoined
Kudos to our wonderful client @RepBeatty
& my colleagues @DDAction_ & Washington Litigation Group
This is a 1-2 punch against Trump's corruption
The transition of sports fandom from loyalty and joy and community to monetization and commodification is a little heartbreaking to me. A signal of the broader commercialization of everything not nailed down in America.
“There are efforts to break our democracy, to unravel basic protections, to render certain voters unable to elect people of our choice,” argues Kimberlé Crenshaw. “These are all the fundamental aspects of a nation that is moving into tyranny.”
