60 years ago today, the signing of the Voting Rights Act ensured representation for every community in the nation.

Trump is attempting to violate that law now to roll back our progress.

This isn't just about Texas – this is about America.

I'm proud to stand for our democracy.

Why is anyone on BlueSky reading anything Hewitt has to say???

She states that the information environment is setting emotional conditions. She advises readers not to panic but to pay attention, and when messaging gets muddy, to read slower rather than shout louder. In a subsequent post, she urges readers to stay steady, protect their attention, and take care of each other.

This former Marine PAO is 50 years younger than I yet she gives advice that I wish I'd thought to give.

Wow

Inside the clashes between Trump and Gabbard The director of national intelligence has rankled Trump with her statements about nuclear war, and the president has suggested she’s off message.

www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Are secretaries finally beginning to wake up and realize what he is doing to destroy this country for his debts? Two women in his cabinet today in crisis. Is that a coincidence? Did they really not know how deep this goes?

Gabbard who is a Russian tool herself knows what this will do to America. I cannot underscore how atrocious this admin is. Who hates Iran the most? Putin. Trump is finally being asked to fulfill the ultimate hit job. Let’s see how far this goes when Americans not in debt to Mr Napoleon refuse.

I love you but it’s not delicious. I think where Carlson is going with all of this is how nuts it is for America to go to war with Iran. There is only one winner in this battle and it’s Russia. If Putin’s puppet has finally been called in for a hit, that benefits only one American. Not its citizens!

all of us should have seen this coming a mile away. you know all those bros who ponied up anywhere from hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars in order to get to hang with Dear Leader at his Big Crypto Corruption Dinner? they got played. they were promised they would get to hobnob with The Great Dealmaker himself — and they came home with bupkis. none of that shit happened. here’s how Donny ‘thanked’ them for their six- to seven-figure ‘investment’ into his fake money. look at this plateful of what in the actual fuck. this is the meal the crypto bros got served at Donny’s Virginia golf motel. “It was the worst food I’ve ever had at a Trump golf course,” Nicholas Pinto, a business influencer who poured around $300,000 into Trump’s coin, told Wired of the entree, a surf-and-turf dish that included halibut and filet mignon. Speaking to Fortune, he criticized the latter as a “Walmart steak.” Pictures of the plates suggested that the dinner was barely up to airline standards. so sorry to hear that you didn’t enjoy your three-hundred-thousand dollar meatwad, bro. maybe write Dear Leader a strongly-worded letter. here are two dudes who liked the food, but were totally bummed out when Dear Leader showed up, mumbled a few words into a microphone, and then got the fuck out of there. NEW: Two attendees of Trump’s crypto VIP reception and dinner last night shared that while the food was good, they were disappointed by the lack of meaningful interaction with the president. They had hoped for more access and perhaps even a Q&A session for the top wallet holders, but instead, the speech was essentially a reiteration of the U.S.’s goal to become the global leader in crypto. “He just gave a few remarks and left,” one said. so, Donny flimflammed a bunch of crypto assholes out of millions of dollars and gave them nothing in return. that might actually be a public service. I’m conflicted.

from "this week in stupid," my wrap-up of the dumbest fucking shit that happened.
Margie Greene loses a battle of wits with an AI, Donny cons crypto dipshits out of millions, and more.

What Are People Still Doing on X? Imagine if your favorite neighborhood bar turned into a Nazi hangout

"X is racist. The only thing up for debate is whether this is a feature or a bug for those in charge," writes Charlie Warzel.

Massively proud to say I have never been on it. It should be banned. Ppl still on it, might need to look in the mirror.

South African immigrant Elon Musk is going to try to rehabilitate his image and quietly slip away from politics, but we'll never forget the chaos and disaster he unleashed on America. Americans must boycott all his businesses indefinitely.

Jake Tapper's book is nothing more than the corporate media trying to shift the blame for 2024 off themselves. Unsure how people can't see this.

You tool! Trust me, I’d say much worse after all you’ve been doing. STFU you narcissistic cow! The nation is falling apart but all you can think of is selling a book about a wonderful man. Hell is in your future dude. I hope it’s horrific!

Sit down. Shut up. Do your job. None of us want to hear from this tool. He keeps jabbing away at a man 100% more accomplished, 200% more intellectual, and who would never do to anyone what he is doing to a wonderful human being.

Yup. This.

Stephen Miller’s words come to life. This administration’s vision for our schools.

Not all heroes wear capes.

Crypto holds sway because money holds sway.

If we could take the money out of campaigning, or at least, substantially lessen its power, politicians could be more responsive to their constituents.

Donald Trump’s Cruel and Unusual Innovations Deporting illegal immigrants is lawful. Imprisoning them in El Salvador makes a mockery of the Eighth Amendment.

Legal challenges to President Trump’s El Salvador deportations have focused on due process, writes @conor64.bsky.social. Less attention has been paid to another constitutional protection: the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition on “cruel and unusual punishment.”

Everyone should know what palantir is up to: youtu.be/YDE97KrYDuU

I know this seems small, but a non-black politician even being willing to name black people in this political climate is surprising. A cis candidate willing to name trans people is big too. Because when fascist politicians encounter pushback, they do not stop, but dial their actions back.
