If Kamala Won: Jack Smith could have continued his work, uninterrupted, and we could be living in a much different and better world today. I hope that people who sat out THAT election fully understand just how much of a difference their collective votes could have made.

The attack on Black voting rights is a five-alarm fire. Saturday, May 16th, thousands march in Montgomery. Tonight there’s a Mass Call. Here’s how white allies stop watching and start showing up. All roads lead to the South. Yours included. 🔥👇 open.substack.com/pub/demcastu...

#OtD 14 May 1938 the England football team gave a Nazi salute before a match in Berlin. They had been ordered to do so by the govt which had made a pact with Hitler when much of the ruling class supported fascism.

Hannity relayed a message from Trump to John Fetterman he would get "more money than he ever dreamed of" if he flipped Republican. This is not based on sources. It was on live TV. The President openly bribing a US senator. No one blinked. This is our America in 2026.

127 The number of hours per week a person paid the federal minimum wage would have to work to afford rent for a median 2-bedroom home in the US. The phenomenon we now know as homelessness—pervasive, unremarkable, seemingly intractable—arose only in the 1980s (aka Regan years).

A little trick if you’re staying in a fleabag hotel not unlike the ones I frequent. Get ahold of that fancy hangar with the clips to hold the curtains closed so the sun doesn’t peek through in the morning. Especially helpful after consuming multiple adult beverages.

Two victims of Jeffrey Epstein will testify at the NY State Capitol next week in support of a bill that would enable them to seek punitive damages from his estate. The legislation would also make it easier for the authorities to punish people who benefited from sex trafficking.
