Despite the best efforts of Republicans and their billionaire fossil fuel donors EV’s are here to stay

Doctor to patient: "Try to reduce your stress level, and if you somehow succeed please let me know how in God's name you did it."

I thought this felt relatable

I know the propaganda and American Exceptionalism indoctrination is strong in our country, but people need to realize that the world doesn't revolve around the U.S.

No other country owes us anything, ESPECIALLY when our elected officials are disrespecting our, now former, allies.

Donald Trump appears to have missed—or is delaying—his 2026 physical, with no schedule or results released.

At the same time, his behavior is raising concerns—even among some right-wing outlets.

The silence is deafening.

WARREN: So those massive discounts--

RFK Jr: Massive. 600 percent

WARREN: 600 percent! They can pay hundreds of dollars on TrumpRx or they can get it for $12 as Costco

With all the regulation cuts and idiots running things, how long until we get a new demon core incident out of this?

::Stares in math::

Yes, that’s a euphemism for exactly what you think it’s a euphemism for.

“We were terrified they were going to kill us.”

Ecuadorian fishermen recount surviving one of Trump & Hegseth’s boat strikes.

Not drug runners. Fishermen. Drone strike. Boat blown up. Taken captive. By us.

I'm honestly shocked that Mark Sheppard hasn't got this.

Listen, they are building concentration camps and threatening genocide against a country of 90 million people. There is not a single remotely legal tactic that is impermissible when it comes to stopping them.

I will tell you what this does prove. It doesn't matter if Republicans cheat if you do your job and get your asses out and vote!!

A reminder while Republicans bitch about Dems finishing the redistricting fight they started: they have full control of gov’t— they can pass a law banning gerrymandering any time they want. They won’t. Republicans aren’t mad gerrymandering exists; they’re mad that they’re not the only ones using it.

Not to mention that the new districts in Texas were based on a high Hispanic turn out in Republicans favor in 2024.

They've made once strong districts weaker & failed to consider their immigration stance via ICE might impact the new districts they made.

I can’t remember: did Texas even hold a vote to amend their constitution to add their five Republican seats?

Start making a list of all the random redacted words and you'll see what they're really trying to hide. Some short words can be acronyms.

I started a list a while ago but life got in the way.

Texas republicans illegally gerrymandered their maps and never once asked voters how they feel about it.

California and Virginia let voters decide.

That’s the difference. They started this fight and Democrats are going to fucking finish it.

Come, here is the map. Shall we divide our right
According to our threefold order ta’en?

Can't blame them for wanting to take their favorite book with them to the afterlife. Hell, maybe they just never got to finish it in life and their family included it in their burial so they could finish it later.

Definitely cool.

Holy shit this is cool!

Decision Desk HQ projects the VA Congressional Redistricting Referendum will Pass.

Just gonna put it out into the universe that I could really use a win right about now.

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker has signed an executive order banning state employees from using insider info to bet on prediction market apps like Kalshi and Polymarket, warning the unregulated boom “opens the door to insider trading and abuse.”

I really needed to see this thing I just saw on Tumblr:

Write it badly or it'll never be written

Write it badly or it'll never be written

Write it badly or it'll never be written

Write it badly or it'll never be written

Write it badly or it'll never be written

Because of my family's heritage, I was an adult before I learned that these were called daffodils here.

To this day, they'll always be jonquils to me.

My grandparents property was filled with rows upon rows of them from my great-grandparents planting them after they immigrated.

A screenshot of a post on X (formerly Twitter) by Magyar Péter (Ne féljetek), with the handle @magyarpeterMP. The post reads: "Until 31 May, the Orbán puppets may voluntarily step down from their positions. This applies to the President of Hungary, the President of the Curia, the President of the National Office for the Judiciary, the President of the Constitutional Court, and the Prosecutor General. On 12 April, the Hungarian people voted for a complete political transformation. If these officials do not step down voluntarily by 31 May, then — on the basis of the mandate received from millions of Hungarians — we will remove them from office." At the bottom, the timestamp reads "3:04 AM • Apr 21, 2026" alongside "19.9K Views".

Peter Magyar is not playing around at all. He's going to purge every single remnant of corrupt Orbanism. This is exactly how Dems need to be when they retake power.

A long 🧵 but a really important one. It's a who's who in the interconnected web of wealth accumulators, right wing religious personnel and political hacks behind the Christian nationalist machine here and abroad. Some you probably know of. Many you don't. Eye-opening stuff. This one's a keeper.
