That means conducting a nationwide review of voting barriers in all 50 states. It means dedicating resources to challenge laws that disenfranchise voters. And it means having the political will to fight for the right to vote everywhere, regardless of how competitive a state appears today.

“Paramount’s controlling shareholder, Shari Redstone, is eager to secure the Trump administration’s approval for a multibillion-dollar sale of her company to Skydance…”

THREAD: Under a new law, thousands of prisoners in Louisiana have been cut off from ever getting a chance at parole. Why? Because an algorithm said so. 1/

I cannot overstate the importance of reading books, particularly novels by respected authors, for critical thinking skills and reading comprehension. If the big gun novelists don't interest you, start small and work your way up. Or read whatever interests you. Just read. Or listen. It's all books.

Rest well warriors. Thank you to our NATO ally Lithuania for the beautiful tribute 🇺🇸 🇱🇹

Four young soldiers were recovered after days of searching underwater & in the mud for them. This is why they were there…my homage in @BulwarkOnline to the “wrenches” and our allies. Be thou at peace www.thebulwark.com/p/why-we-tra...

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

Have you heard about the SAVE Act? It's the newest effort at voter suppression by the House GOP & it's important for all of us. If you're a married woman or someone who doesn't have their birth certificate/passport handy, you're especially going to want to see this. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

Silver lining: I can’t remember the last time I heard the squeak of Gym Jordan’s voice.

No words. But, I’m not surprised. I am a military veteran. I’m a former congressman. I cannot in good conscience follow or support this administration. Anyone voting for her is complicit in the downfall of this country. Tulsi Gabbard is an abomination. apple.news/A01S4jqQSSK-...

➡️ January 20: FAA director fired ➡️ January 21: Air Traffic Controller hiring frozen ➡️ January 22: Aviation Safety Advisory Committee disbanded ➡️ January 28: Buyout/retirement demand sent to existing employees ➡️ January 29: First American mid-air collision in 16 years Making America Great Again!

No one can quash the legacy of the Tuskegee Airman. Same for the Buffalo Soldiers. That unit was sent to West Point from 1907-1947 to replace an undisciplined white unit. During segregation, they trained all the white officers who fought in WWI & II & they built a legacy. We know their story.

Speaking of healthcare. Let's make @bsky.app the platform that fights misinformation. Some great follows are @drsusanoliver.bsky.social @jsm2334.bsky.social @therealtruther.bsky.social Let's get them more followers and engagement than other platforms and let health science accounts find a home

Happy MLK Day.

to recap: — Trump was *for* the TikTok ban — which the GOP Congress passed — and the GOP Supreme Court upheld — and even though Biden said he wouldn't enforce the ban, TikTok shut down anyway — so that Trump could "save" it — and the media fell for it we really do live in the dumbest fucking country

I guess the legacy media will just frame this a deal, and completely miss the part where the administration enriches their own personal pockets. How is a government social app good for free speech and the expression and exchange of creative ideas.

Another impersonator account popped up that is NOT us. Can you please help by reposting this and reporting them? 🙏💙 bsky.app/profile/call...

I’m seriously crying.

Today we honor what would’ve been Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s 96th birthday. 🖤 Dr. King was revolutionary who fought for justice, equality, and love when the world needed it most. His fight isn’t over—it's on us to keep pushing, keep resisting, and keep his dream alive.

The @contrariannews.bsky.social is a brilliant idea. Now why can’t @meidastouch.com @muellershewrote.bsky.social and a few dozen other independent social media get together and make ANOTHER competing liberal news network? Too many of us are working just for subs. Let’s make a real news powerhouse.

⚡NEW LIGHTNING ROUND⚡ Over the next few weeks, the U.S. Supreme Court will decide whether it will take up five voting rights cases from across the country. Paige and I explain the cases and the potential impact they could have. youtu.be/eMSPmbqI4-c

The lying and gaslighting in this country especially surrounding natural disasters is deliberate and meant to demoralize and breed distrust and division. I'm sick of it !! It hurts the communities affected and destroys the faith in our public officials including the helpers.

KNOW THIS: Altadena is a predominantly African-American community community where Black families were redlined into. It’s not the Palisades, but losing homes, livelihoods & generational wealth is equally devastating. Communities targeted by redlining have historic reasons to distrust government.

This is irrefutably true. Let’s see how long it lasts.
