Martin Luther King Jr once said, “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.”
While that is reassuring, I think the United States is currently testing the tensile strength of that arc with all the injustice, hatred, and corruption it is piling on.
“This is racial gerrymandering at its worst.” Rep. Al Green told Mother Jones during the Texas House proceedings, where they passed a redistricting plan that could give the GOP five additional seats in the US House.
It’s Back-To-School Month! Remember, reading is fundamental for ages 5 through 79!
Quick question. There are still almost as many troops in LA right now as there were at the end of Afghanistan.
Why exactly?
Also where are the mass deportations of white illegals, like from Russia?
First ever bloom on these unique clematis I planted last year. 💕. Nice distraction from the current news.
Man who had a student kidnapped and trafficked because she wrote something he didn't like yuks it up with man who had a journalist dismembered with a hacksaw because he wrote things the man didn't like.
There is something so obscene about a political party rallying behind a fucking draft dodger and denying courageous trans people the right to serve their country.
What the fuck, America?
He would have never been appointed by a president who cared about our military. He’s a disgrace to the people in uniform who serve www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/u...
Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski says the quiet part out loud: “We are all afraid… I am oftentimes very anxious about using my voice because retaliation is real.”
Donny Convict liberated the J6 criminals. 🤬
I can’t help recalling how rude and confrontational the Oval Office meeting with the polite and cooperative Zelensky was in contrast with how meekly Trump sat silently while the President of El Salvador mocked the notion of helping Donald abide by a unanimous Supreme Court order.
To everyone who told me to “calm down” in 2016 -
The sociopathic sexual predator business fraud felon you put back in the office he tried to steal just stood in the White House & said that he wants to send American citizens to concentration camps in El Salvador.
So, fuck you.
Every week I write a Sunday night column about The Week Ahead. This week, it’s about taking back “woke.” open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
All 9 Supreme Court justices told Trump: no more deportations without due process. But Justice Sotomayor put it most directly:
Seems less scary than in the original German, but don’t be deceived michiganadvance.com/2025/04/09/i...
Trump tells his followers to buy stock in the morning, minutes after the market opens, then announces he is pausing tariffs 4 hours later.
Nothing to see here.
I find it remarkable, and remarkably indecent, that the 5-justice majority couldn't bring itself to even mention, never mind condemn, the enormous human suffering caused by Trump’s BLATANTLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL deportation of hundreds of people to a dangerous/deadly prison in El Salvador.
2800 people turned out in Youngstown Ohio last night for a town hall with Democratic Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.
Local GOP congressman Michael Rulli won't do events like this with his constituents, so Democrats are doing so in his district:

Justice Sotomayor, writing in today's deportation case. How many times must she write, "With fear for our democracy, I dissent," before Republicans get the point? Perhaps only when, as the poem goes, they come for them.
My only shock is that the person who discovered this hadn't been fired yet.
This is what kicking fascism’s ass looks like. #HandsOff
Europeans don't need ugly American cars. They have governments that are forward-thinking, which provide buses, subways, and high-speed trains, unlike America, which would rather order another aircraft carrier it doesn't need than help its citizens get to work.
Donald Trump skipped the dignified transfer of four of our soldiers because he had to go golfing with the Saudis in the midst of a catastrophic stock market collapse he intentionally caused and you Yankee Doodle dipshits still think he gives a single flying fuck about this country?
Who did this?
Tax the penguins?
💥🇭🇺 Police have given up guarding Budapest’s Liberty Bridge as anti-government protesters shut down traffic on four major bridges, rallying against Viktor Orbán’s new law curbing freedom of assembly and banning the Pride march.
They vow to escalate with a 24-hour shutdown next week.
"Thus far, the review of the Naval Academy's Library’s holdings has identified 900 books that may run afoul of Hegseth’s order... They include “The Autobiography of Martin Luther King Jr.” and a biography on Jackie Robinson..."

America taking over Greenland is a foolish idea. America destroying its relationship with Canada is utter idiocy. America applying tariffs and engaging in trade wars with neighbors is economic nonsense. A lunatic is holding America hostage and his enablers are making fools of themselves.
To the Trump supporters saying “this ain’t what we voted for,” yes it is! When you say that you’re letting us know that we listened to your guy more than you did.
Make this go viral!
