The most accurate portrayal of the pro-Jim Crow, white nationalist Roberts Supreme Court I've seen yet.

The eagerness with which southern states are moving to prevent Black people from being represented in government is horrifying. The Jim Crow South will rise again, much to the detriment of the entire country. Shame on the GOP, shame on SCOTUS.

I want to laugh at it but sadly it’s true.

I'm old enough to have voted for Clinton twice. If he did bad things, throw him in jail. It's pretty simple!

Honestly, I'm much less cynical after watching Jimmy Kimmel's monologue from last night. The reaction to his firing and reappearance spell hope to me.

Trump threatening members of Congress not to sign the Epstein files discharge petition saying it would be a “hostile act” against him is definitely something an innocent person would do. And scheduling a military flyover in the middle of the survivor press conference is also totally normal behavior.

Profoundly embarrassing in many ways. Is he actively drooling while speaking? Is he high?

Neil Young has the right idea and has scrubbed his Facebook and Instagram pages because of this. Why are we allowing this a-hole Zuckerberg to make social media even worse? www.reuters.com/investigates...

Our public high school does this -- no sports or extracurriculars one day a week and let me tell you, it's great and every kid I know, regardless of level of involvement/enjoyment, looks forward to that day. I don't understand why we set up kids to burn out.

I agree. Anyone with any size public or private platform should get a jump on the midterms and call out the GOP daily. "Enabling a national tragedy" is a good talking point to begin with.

I honestly believed I could no longer be shocked by anything this administration does, but once again, I've been proven wrong. The response has been abhorrent.

Am I missing something? Where is Democratic leadership and spokespeople who should be appearing everywhere - on social media, on legacy media, in newspapers and tv - to spell out to American people how much Trump and GOP are harming them and this country? Why aren't more people fighting back?

Plus, the more nonpartisan coalitions the Democrats can build, the better. Coalitions are effective acts of resistance, too.

Women can and should serve in the military. They can also be good mothers, partners, citizens. You know, like some men can be ludicrously unqualified for their jobs, and at the same time manage to sexually assault women, be raging alcoholics, AND be white nationalists. Multi-tasking! It's a thing.

Me, a public health person, just sitting over here reflecting on the fact that the US has experienced a 7% increase in infant mortality post-Dobbs. Like, do you realize what that says about this society from an ethical perspective? That we made policy choices that caused this? #PHEthx

Reminder that one of the components of fascism is isolating those who would resist from one another. Make in-person plans with like-minded people as often as you can! There is both solace and strength in community.
