Sixty-two percent of this country has looked at the man in the Oval Office and said no. That is not a whisper. That is a hull breach. But a cornered animal doesn't retreat — it reaches for the nearest sovereign nation and flings it at the wall. Cuba. An aircraft carrier. An executive order before lunch. The disapproval is real. https://twp.ai/9OV23d #News #Politics #Democracy #TrumpDisapproval #Cuba #CorneredAnimal #Authoritarianism #PollNumbers #Resistance #lgbtqia #trans

Democrats are increasingly bullish on the midterms as the Ballroom Republicans flail. https://thehill.com/newsletters/morning-report/5861844-midterm-battleground-six-months/ The Ballroom Republicans and the Epstein Class are getting verry worried about the midterms. https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/5860118-senate-republicans-house-infighting-gridlock/ #midtersm #uspol #democracy #democrats #ballroomrepublicans #epsteinclass

U.S. Politics, librarians Sensitive
In the same vein as above, via Kelly Jensen: "These five librarians are running for state political offices across the country. Here's why they're running, and why librarians make good candidates." Keeping in mind that *some* librarians out there are white supremacists and Nazi supporters, Kelly's point is very much still valid: just, vet your own librarian candidate before you support them. #USPolitics #Midterms #Voting #Democracy #Librarians https://bookriot.com/librarians-running-for-office-2026/

Report: UK's Starmer says people who chant 'globalise the intifada' must be prosecuted. Yet, "there have been no recorded incidents in the UK of an antisemitic attack involving the phrase 'globalise the intifada'." Anti-genocide protesters "have strongly denied that 'globalise the Intifada' is antisemitic or a call for violence, & British Jews have been prominent in pro-Palestine marches in the UK". https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/starmer-accused-weaponising-antisemitic-attack-target-pro-palestine-protests #UKPol #USPol #EUPol #palestine #news #UKRepression #Democracy .

Marco Rubio rushes to try to repair relations with Italy after Trump trashes them. At this rate he'll never get out of Europe (which might be good for everyone, including him). https://www.politico.eu/article/rubio-italy-after-trump-spats-meloni-pope-leo-thaw-weak-tajani-rome-vatican/ #rubio #democracy #uspol #italy

The President started a war Feb 28. Today marks the 60-day constitutional limit under the War Powers Act. Gas is up to $4.39/gal ($25B spent). While he calls reporting "seditious," the math is undeniable. The resolution returns. Call your senator. The sky is blue, the war is real, and the clock is ticking. #WarPowersAct #EndTheWar #GasPrices #Politics #Resistance #CivicDuty #StopTheWar #Democracy https://twp.ai/9OUqJf

Donald Trump is a loser, and he and the GOP can't escape his failures. How are they messing up right now? Trump is threatening to pull troops from multiple countries, weakening the US, destroying our ability to station and refuel, and in general screwing things up. https://www.politico.eu/article/donald-trump-threatens-spain-pedro-sanchez-and-italy-giorgia-meloni-with-us-troops-withdrawal/ He's already pulling a few thousand from Germany. https://www.reuters.com/world/us-withdrawing-5000-troops-germany-us-officials-say-2026-05-01/ #politics #democrats #democracy #california #santaclara #USPol #CAPol

Senile Trump got us into a war in the Mideast to distract from the Epstein files and so his kids can make money - and the Ballroom Republicans are on board. The Iran war is as unpopular as Vietnam. Finally Bonespurs is experiencing Vietnam for real. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/05/01/poll-trump-iran-war-iraq/ The majority of our bases in the Middle East took hits. Meanwhile idiot Trump threatens to pull our troops from other nations. https://www.cnn.com/2026/05/01/world/video/us-military-bases-iran-strikes-images-invs-digvid #iran #iranwar #uspol #democracy #politics

GA Governor Brian Kemp won't redistrict Georgia - THIS election. So gear up to fight him for 2028 as he engages in the usual GOP racism to try to reduce minority representation. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/trump-administration/live-blog/iran-war-60-day-authorization-threshold-trump-hegseth-congress-rcna343015/rcrd109325?canonicalCard=true #uspol #democracy #scotus #georgia #vra

A new lawsuit is challenging Louisiana’s extraordinary decision to suspend congressional primaries already underway — arguing the state is illegally nullifying votes and plunging an active election into chaos following the Supreme Court’s gutting of the Voting Rights Act. https://www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/louisiana-sued-for-suspending-active-election-nullifying-votes-to-draft-gop-gerrymander/ #voting #democracy #uspol #scotus #vra

"For all the effort that Supreme Court justices put into insisting they are not 'partisan hacks,' when the Court resolves awful democracy cases, elected Republicans have remarkably little trouble understanding what they are supposed to do, and how quickly they are supposed to act." ~ Jay Willis #SupremeCourt #Callais #VotingRights #democracy #EconomicElites #corruption #Republicans /1 https://ballsandstrikes.substack.com/p/the-republican-justices-want-to-help

"The all-out sprint to make the 2026 maps at once redder and whiter lays bare the real project of the Callais majority: The Republican justices are trying to help their fellow Republicans win more elections in more places. Every seat counts." #SupremeCourt #Callais #VotingRights #democracy #EconomicElites #corruption #Republicans /2

"Each tool was built to achieve through the legal loopholes what could no longer be done openly. Callais is the modern version.

"When the Voting Rights Act was passed, White people in the South, and the party they adopted as theirs, the Republican Party, set out to do everything in their power to dilute and destroy the Voting Rights Act. The right of Black people to vote removed White people’s power to discriminate, so they struck back." ~ Lucian K.

"Ultimately, the decision in Callais leaves me with a question: Why are conservatives so afraid of democracy? Why are they afraid to let the voters decide elections?" ~ Joyce Vance #SupremeCourt #Callais #VotingRights #democracy #EconomicElites #corruption #Republicans /6 https://joycevance.substack.com/p/what-the-court-did-in-callaisand
