Becoming Notorious in the Dirty T!

🚨 It being Pride Month, the right wing propaganda-sphere is advocating for rolling back all gay rights. Remember a super majority of Americans support gay rights & gay marriage. They're trying to take us back over a decade and are revealing themselves to more moderate voters as fashies.

What we've seen at Delaney Hall, beyond the stifling of free speech, is a mismanagement of public resources, primarily by NJ Governor Mikie Sherrill. The state of New Jersey is spending $100k per day to temporarily chase protestors away for them to return the next day. It's asinine.

The response to protests at Delaney Hall could cause the opposite effect that NJ Governor Mikie Sherrill expects. By obstructing long term peaceful protests, it's more likely to have situations that get hot fast and burn bright. We shall see.

Jake Lang's U-Haul got towed today after only him and one of his Nazi associates showed up to a hate rally with hundreds of counter-protestors in Dearborn, Michan. U-Haul revoked the rental. 😂

Raumesh Akbari, Democratic Leader of the TN State Senate: "It's illegal…Splitting [Memphis] into three different districts and trying to rush it through in time for an August election shows that they're taking their orders from Donald Trump and not from the people of Tennessee."

Wages are not keeping up with skyrocketing inflation. Prices are going up on everything from rent, to groceries, gas, utilities and more. This is a cost-of-living crisis. We can start providing some relief by giving workers a raise NOW.

Tweet from Heather Long that says:

Inflation is wiping out wage gains.
This is the big Achilles Heel in the US economy.

April wage growth: 3.6% 
April inflation expected to be ~4%

Wages are being eaten up by inflation due to the war in Iran. This is a big shift from the past several years when wages were growing well above inflation. 

Yes, workers have jobs, but this is a squeeze.

There is no clearer case for the necessity of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 than how quickly southern states moved to eliminate Black-majority districts and dilute Black power after SCOTUS eroded Section 2. SCOTUS’s reasoning was immediately disproven by reality.

Nurses are tireless heroes who care for the sick, aging, and injured members of our communities. During Nurses Week and every week, we celebrate their dedication and service and thank them for everything they do.

The Tennessee House today passed a new congressional map that will eliminate the state’s majority-Black district, which is anchored around Memphis. The legislature is meeting a week after the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act. www.washingtonpost.c...

Bluesky Thomas was killed in Sonora Behavioral Health Hospital in the Tucson metro. He was beat to death and strangled by techs. Now the same hospital is retaliating against employees who brought concerns to the hospital prior to this incident.

The Alabama House has passed HB 1 to allow primary election date changes in four districts if the Supreme Court permits using a previously blocked congressional map. This map will eliminate District 2 & cut black representation in half from the state of Alabama. alabamareflector.com/2026/05/06/a...
