The 1965 Voting Rights Act is the most important piece of legislation in United States history. It is the law that freed this country from apartheid. Here, @ElieNYC explains how the Supreme Court effectively killed the act—and what it means.

More women have nearly bled to death during miscarriage under Texas’ abortion ban.
Experts say the trend paints a troubling picture of the harms of unnecessary delays in care. “This is striking,” one doctor said. “The trend is very clear.”

It is terrible. That’s why Ida B Wells, who witnessed the rise of Jim Crow said “Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.” Civil rights are never permanently won. Each generation must do their part.

60+ years of progress to end up back where we started; it’s just so terrible.

The Voting Rights Act is one of the last lines of defense for civil rights, fair representation & basic democratic norms. Today’s news means we can expect even more extreme GOP partisan gerrymanders. Another authoritarian power grab at the hands of this far-right court.
Congress has an urgent job to do: Reform this corrupt, off-the-rails judiciary with court expansion & term limits.

Justice Kagan:
"I dissent. The Voting Rights Act is—or, now more accurately, was—'one of the most consequential, efficacious, and amply justified exercises of federal legislative power in our Nation's history.' It was born of the literal blood of Union soldiers and civil rights marchers. It ushered in awe-inspiring change, bringing this Nation closer to fulfilling the ideals of democracy and racial equality. And it has been repeatedly, and overwhelmingly, reauthorized by the people's representatives in Congress. Only they have the right to say it is no longer needed—not the Members of this Court. I dissent, then, from this latest chapter in the majority's now-completed demolition of the Voting Rights Act."

NEW: 2028 is the most open race in a generation. She's the second-most popular American socialist in a century. Should the American left even want her to run at all? Here’s my answer to the left’s all-encompassing AOC question: ettingermentum.news/p/the-lefts-ao…

Talarico up on both Cornyn and Paxton in a new poll of Texas, by 3 and 5. A tough road ahead — and this is coming at a time where the GOP is most split in its runoff. But it’s no exaggeration that it’s very rare for Dems to even lead in a poll here. texastribune.org/2026/04/28/tex…

one of my favorite pastimes is scrolling through youtube & watching fans react to seeing Michael Jackson live. Never seen anything like it, and the #MichaelMovie captured it perfectly
Jeremy@ManaByte
I said in the past that I thought a big challenge of #MichaelMovie that some weren't bringing up is how to convey what he meant to that era. It's almost hard to put into words, he was that huge; especially in the timeframe the movie is set in. Michael Jackson basically was the 80s. You couldn't escape his influence if you tried, and honestly, why would you want to? From the moment Thriller dropped, he shifted the entire culture. He turned music videos into cinematic events and made us all believe that a guy in a red leather jacket could actually save the world with a dance routine. He was the rare artist who felt like he belonged to everyone, and that kind of universal impact just doesn't happen anymore. I think the movie succeeds in giving you an idea of his universal impact, and it does it mostly by showing how crowds reacted to him and how it wasn't just young girls fainting over him like you saw with The Beatles or Elvis. As someone who lived through that time I feel like the movie got it pretty good.

It's obvious that pulling out of the Iran Deal was a catastrophic decision by Trump. Yet that decision got far less media and political scrutiny than the Deal itself.

Pulling out of the Iran nuclear was a catastrophic mistake.

You've been asking for this one for years. We heard you. We announced a change in AP style at the @ACESEditors conference today: It's now healthcare, one word, in all uses. We also changed childcare and daycare, closing them up to one word rather than two. This guidance is live on AP Stylebook Online now.

This is a massive story and it is only receiving surface coverage from the American media.
