In 1985, Carl Sagan told Congress that continuing to burn fossil fuels will increase global temperature, cause climate change, melt glaciers & ice sheets and cause sea level rise. Imagine if we had listened to him them. No time to wait. #climate

They Want to Put Us Back on the Plantation Alabama House Speaker Nathaniel Ledbetter didn’t misspeak. He said the quiet part out loud. While defending the dismantling of Black political power in Alabama through racist gerrymandering, he openly declared that he hopes the Supreme Court overturns the 14th Amendment, the amendment that granted citizenship to formerly enslaved Black people after slavery. Let that sink in. An elected official in 2026 is publicly expressing hope that the constitutional amendment recognizing Black people as citizens of this country will be overturned. And some people still want to pretend America isn’t racist. This is what Make America Great Again has always meant to the extremists driving it: rolling back the gains of Reconstruction, gutting voting rights, erasing Black history, dismantling civil rights protections, purging Black people from positions of power, and returning America to a racial hierarchy where whiteness is protected and Black existence is controlled. I have said many times on my radio program that Black people in America are only a couple of laws away from the plantation. Some people called that hyperbole. It wasn’t hyperbole. It was historical awareness. Because Black progress in America has always been conditional in the minds of white supremacists. Every gain we made had to be forced through protest, bloodshed, organizing, litigation, and sacrifice, and every gain has always faced backlash from people who never accepted our humanity in the first place. The 14th Amendment is the foundation upon which modern civil rights protections stand. Birthright citizenship. Equal protection. Due process. Voting rights rulings. School desegregation. Anti-discrimination law. All of it flows from the legal recognition that Black people are fully citizens and fully human under the Constitution. And now powerful Republicans are openly fantasizing about undoing it. I have absolutely no confidence that this racist Supreme Court will protect Black citizenship, Black voting rights, or Black humanity if given the opportunity to weaken them. This Court has already gutted the Voting Rights Act, enabled racial gerrymandering, weakened affirmative action, and signaled hostility toward every major civil rights protection won through the blood of our ancestors. So Black people need to stop treating this like politics as usual. This is not a game. This is not partisan disagreement. This is a fight over whether this country will continue moving toward democracy or openly embrace apartheid-style white nationalism. Our ancestors fought too hard, bled too much, marched too long, and died too young for us to sit comfortably while people in power openly discuss stripping away the very amendment that recognized our citizenship. If this nation is determined to drag us backward, then we must be just as determined to resist. We must organize, educate, mobilize, vote, protest, litigate, build institutions, protect our communities, and prepare ourselves spiritually, politically, and economically for what is clearly coming. Because they are not hiding it anymore. They are trying to put us back on the plantation.

there are people who own multiple homes, take private jets, own 2 yachts, helicopters, and a collection of luxury cars and you think the low income families struggling to buy food and gas are stealing your tax dollars?

YOU CLEARLY NEED PROFESSIONAL PSYCHIATRIC HELP IF YOU WORSHIP THIS DEMENTED ASSHOLE 🙄

A lot has happened, but not much has changed.

En EEUU, la Gestapo de Trump, el ICE, separó durante 5 meses a una madre latina de su hijo de 18 años con cáncer y solo le dejó salir durante una hora del centro de detención de inmigrantes para despedirse de él. El racismo es maldad pura que debe ser erradicada sin miramientos.

@alishanicole44 @GrageDustin @GavinNewsom What party killed a bill to end gerrymandering?

@GrageDustin @GavinNewsom It’s the only way they can win. I am reminded of the old saying, “cheaters never prosper”

No vote in Tennessee (+1 GOP) No vote in Florida (+4 GOP) No vote in Missouri (+1 GOP) No vote in North Carolina (+2 GOP) No vote in Texas (+5 GOP) Virginia’s voter-approved maps thrown out. MAGA has rigged the system.

@SirWinston85 @Angry_Staffer @anyswingingdick @LessTaxMoreCoal @OfAthenry Youre still going to get rolled

@Angry_Staffer @anyswingingdick @LessTaxMoreCoal @OfAthenry Democrats are having a rough day today. And I am literally laughing at them. I look forward to a GOP victory in the midterms.

Based on this Virginia ruling, the Tennessee and Florida maps should both also be shot down. If not, Virginia should just pull a Tennessee and change the rules to ram it though the legislature. 🤷‍♂️

@patcaputo98 So sorry for your loss. Loved listening to him. Peace and love to your family

Today May 7th we lost Pat to cancer. Pat was surrounded by his family. Thank you for all your support. The Caputo family

Let's go!

This is MASSIVE 🔥 🇫🇷Former French PM Dominique: "Stop this madman Trump. Because of him, a kilo of rice is going to jump to 50 euros." "30 days ago: Hormuz open, prices calm, life normal. Now: this lunatic's chaos has sent oil prices into sheer madness"🔥🔥 "He wants to starve the entire world, he revels in destruction." BRUTAL REALITY CHECK 🔥

@savanah2j The Jelly Roll one is trash

@mci4412 @SteveRattner @Morning_Joe Lol. Time to log off lady. Your mind is fucking gone

🤣😆🤣😆🤣😆🤣😆🤣🤦‍♀️ Says the pussy ass who wants men and women sports and use some stupid pronouns! And supports a war of Ukrainian Nazis!! No, I feel sorry for America with the caliber of pussy ass man that DOE produced from you! China would already own us if Kamala would’ve won!

Red states have disproportionately benefited from the health insurance subsidies expanded by Biden and then cut by Trump. Georgia is a clear example: in just one year, marketplace enrollment has dropped by more than 550,000 people — a 37% decline. My @Morning_Joe Chart.

A few days after a totes normal trip to the "dentist" (on a weekend) & the media's utter lack of interest in finding out what is going on with this guy's health after doing armchair neurological diagnosis of Joe Biden infuriates me every time I see these photos (which is often!)

Billionaire tax cuts are a policy choice. Cutting healthcare for millions is a policy choice. Cutting food assistance for children is a policy choice. Taking from the poor and giving to the rich is a policy choice. It does not have to be like this.

@mci4412 @SteveRattner @Morning_Joe I feel for the kids that had to learn science from you.

@SteveRattner @Morning_Joe Hey Professor, what’s a subsidy? Morning Blowhard, is hardly the person you should get any factual information from! Check him against three sources!!
