Democratic voters in Texas scramble to find polling place amid precinct voting switch Early voting had been countywide and saw record Democratic turnout, but the switch to precinct-only locations left many voters showing up at the wrong spot and being turned away.

🚨BREAKING: Hundreds of Democratic voters in Dallas and Williamson Counties, Texas scrambled to find their polling places Tuesday after the local Republican parties refused to hold a joint primary — ending more than a decade of convenient countywide voting. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Black history is American history. Period.

Efforts to revive the 1776 Commission, gut DEI, and censor discussions of systemic racism are about erasing the full story.

Silence isn’t moderation — it’s complicity. NJ-07 deserves leaders who defend the truth.

A pollster called about the new @mayor.nyc.gov property tax. I said I’m fine with it. when the city pays New Yorkers to shovel snow, my street is clean, I get to work, & life moves. That’s what taxes should feel like: visible results, functional systems, & government that works. He hung up.

After considerable soul-searching, I feel compelled to withdraw from the BAFTA emerging talent judging panel. The organisation's handling of the unfortunate Tourette's N-Word incident last night at the awards was utterly unforgivable. I cannot and will not contribute my time energy and expertise to an organisation that has repeatedly failed to safeguard the dignity of its Black guests, members and the Black creative community. This is particularly unfortunate given that this year's cohort boasts some incredible Black talent, especially one of my favourite shows of 2025 "Just Act Normal". However, when an organisation like BAFTA, with its own long history of systemic racism, refuses to acknowledge the harm inflicted on both the Black and disabled communities and offer an appropriate apology, remaining involved would be tantamount to condoning its behaviour. I hope BAFTA leadership comprehend the damage they and the BBC have caused and take the necessary steps to ensure their production staff are inclusive enough to prevent such an issue in the future.
Yours sincerely, Jonte Richardson

‘Sinners’ Production Designer Hannah Beachler Says Alan Cumming’s ‘Throw-Away Apology’ Over N-Word Slur During BAFTAs ‘Made It Worse’ ‘Sinners’ production designer Hannah Beachler said BAFTAs host Alan Cumming's 'throw-away apology' over n-word slur during ceremony 'made it worse.'

Figured I'd link to what Hannah said herself about it.

This hurts and so many people don't understand how much it does.

Project Salt Box: How citizen sleuths are monitoring ICE in Maryland Inside their homes scattered around the Baltimore area, the group of watchdogs is unearthing records, like property filings, contracts, and government procurements, that are otherwise overlooked.

On Monday evening, Rachel Maddow spotlighted this group working out of Baltimore. Just another in a long list of unsung, American heroes. Donate to their project!

A brand new Super PAC — Elect Chicago Women — just dropped hundreds of thousands of dollars into this race. Why?

Because it’s actually a front for AIPAC dark money. And they’re doing everything they can to buy my race:

Republicans quote MLK’s I Have a Dream because it’s safe. Ignoring the parts about racism, militarism, poverty, and white moderates being an obstacle to civil rights.

Selective memory is driving the anti-DEI panic and the not-so-quiet erasure of Black history.

Agents broke the window, forced Daniel Flores-Martinez to his knees and slammed him to the ground while his children and his wife, a U.S. citizen, sobbed in the car.

Perpetual gadfly Bernie Sanders can get invited on TV week in and week out to lecture Democrats about what they NEED TO BE doing while spending 30 years sabotaging Democrats every time they try to do it because its not the perfect solution he alone dreamed of.
