Dr Anthony Fauci is an international hero, what the US was able to accomplish in controlling and ending Covid with a Novel vaccine produced in under a year should be a point of pride of every American but instead MAGA is trying to get him murdered.

It reminds me of the story of Marian holding Obama’s hand after the election was called for him because he was about to be the leader of the free world and didn’t have either parent with him so she stepped in to be that for him in that moment.

The stories and photographs from today’s voting rights marches in Alabama deserve to be seen by people who weren’t able to stand there in person. If this piece moves you, please share it widely and help make sure these voices aren’t lost in the noise of a crowded news cycle. https://t.co/TIVqbA9k9O

BOOM! SAY IT LOUDER:
Gary Chambers Jr. just dragged Louisiana Republicans — while Speaker Mike Johnson wears holes in his kneepads for Dear Leader.

Louisiana ranks dead last in economy and crime, 46th in education, 48th in infrastructure, 49th in environment, 46th in opportunity, with 18.9% poverty — worst in America.

But they're stripping power from a Black-majority New Orleans instead of fixing any of it.

This isn't reform. It's racist reconstructionism.
Gary said it plainly: "You lost every constitutional amendment you proposed, even in your own districts."

They don't ask the people because they know they'd lose. No choice. No vote. No voice.

In August 2010, Jane Mayer published a long article in The New Yorker called "Covert Operations."
It introduced most Americans, for the first time, to two brothers — Charles and David Koch — and the quiet network of foundations, think tanks, and political organizations they had spent decades building to reshape American politics from behind the scenes.
The article was meticulously sourced. It named names. It followed the money.
A few months later, Mayer started getting strange messages.
A blogger asked her how she felt about the private investigator who was looking into her. She thought it was a joke. Then a former reporter told her, at a Christmas party, that he'd been approached and asked to help dig up damaging information on a journalist who had written something two billionaires didn't like.
Then, in January 2011, her editor at The New Yorker, David Remnick, forwarded her a query from the New York Post. The Post had been handed material claiming Mayer was a serial plagiarist. The "evidence" was being shopped to multiple outlets at once.
It wasn't true. The reporters she had supposedly stolen from confirmed she had cited them properly or asked permission. The Post dropped the story. But the campaign had been real — and Mayer eventually traced it to a firm called Vigilant Resources International, run by Howard Safir, the former NYPD commissioner. The firm had been hired, she would later document, by people connected to Koch business interests.
The dirt didn't exist. So someone had tried to manufacture it.
That moment told Mayer something about her own work that she has never forgotten.
She wasn't being attacked because her reporting was sloppy. She was being attacked because it was accurate.
Mayer has spent more than three decades doing this. Before Dark Money, she wrote The Dark Side, the definitive account of how the United States adopted torture as policy after September 11. After Dark Money, she investigated dark money behind Supreme Court confirmations, the network funding election-denial campaigns, and the secret political work of a Supreme Court justice's spouse.
Each story has followed the same arc.
Reporting comes out. Power responds — not by disputing the facts, but by going after the reporter. Lawyers get involved. Personal information gets leaked. Old colleagues get phone calls. The accusation is always the same in spirit, even when the words change: she went too far.
But "too far" has never meant inaccurate. It has meant inconvenient.
That's the quiet education buried in Jane Mayer's career: powerful institutions rarely correct the record. They reach for the messenger. They make the cost of telling the truth so high that the next person thinks twice.
It only works if it works.
Mayer is still reporting. The stories are still landing.
The lines, it turns out, were never where we were told they were.
Someone just had to be willing to walk past them, and write down what was on the other side.

#JimCrow in my daily life as a child: I can recall every door had a sign. Parks, theaters, restaurants, water fountains, restrooms, and even cemeteries were all segregated. Black Americans couldn’t move through public space as full human beings — we were 2nd class citizens.

I often say that the fight for democracy is the fight of our generation. But let me be clear, if you aren’t fighting for Black voting rights right now then you aren’t really fighting for democracy.

[Vincent Evans @VinceEvans]

The Supreme Court decided Callais on April 29th.  

Since then, Black political representation has been under direct assault across the South.  

And I haven’t heard a mumbling word from @BernieSanders.  

I checked both his X accounts — silent.  
I checked his Instagram — nothing.  
I checked his Senate website — crickets.  

At this point I’m starting to get worried. Has anybody checked on Senator Sanders?  

Because Black political power is under attack and somehow we can’t seem to run him down.  

If y’all know somewhere else to check, let me know so we can get word to him.

I saw this video on Viola Davis' instagram this morning and everyone needs to see it.

The gutting of the VRA is the most significant attack on ALL civil rights in America in my lifetime, and after they already came for the women..

We better wake the fuck up. None of us is safe:

It's not lost on me that @jrpsaki chose this moment, where Black Democrats are being targeted and disenfranchised on a scale not seen since the days of jim crow, to uplift an impotent white DNC chair while shitting on our EXTREMELY effective Black former chair, @harrisonjaime.
