Impeach. Convict. Remove.
Recap of this week in the revolution: All roads lead to the South. U.S. loses war with Iran. Trump regime to purge state voter rolls.
The good...
In 1965, Black Americans peacefully demonstrating for voting rights were brutally beaten by the state's law enforcement officers on Bloody Sunday. A few weeks later, marched for three days from Selma to Montgomery to demonstrate against segregation and the Jim Crow laws designed to prevent Black Americans from casting their votes. This was one of many similar protests during the civil rights movement that led to the passage of the Voting Rights Act, which outlawed practices specifically designed to prevent or discourage minorities from voting.
This year, the Supreme Court issued a ruling that essentially gutted the Voting Rights Act, arguing that districts formed specifically to ensure that minority voices are heard is itself discriminatory (They are wrong on this point). Based on this ruling, states can now alter their district maps to ensure that every district favors Republicans over Democrats, since Blacks and minorities are more likely to vote for Democratic candidates than Republicans. This ruling comes in the middle of a massive push to alter district maps in several states in a desperate attempt to rig the 2026 midterm elections to help the unpopular Republican Party maintain its slim majority in the House and Senate.
Last week, protesters once again marched to Montgomery to demonstrate against these redistricting efforts and other Jim Crow-esque practices the Republican party has implemented or is attempting to implement to undermine the upcoming election.
The bad...
As the war in Iran slowly fizzles out, Donny 2-Dolls has claimed that the U.S. and Iran are close to an agreement that will end the war. The terms of this agreement, broadly, are to end the war, and set aside 30 days to negotiate on the future of Iran's nuclear program and reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Prior to the United States' attack on Iran earlier this year, the Strait of Hormuz was open to all. And prior to Trump's first presidency, the United States and Iran had an agreement to limit Iran's nuclear program and prevent the country from developing nuclear weapons.
The United States has spent billions of taxpayer dollars on this war, destroyed Iranian infrastructure, bombed an elementary school in Iran (killing hundreds of children), killed thousands of people (60% of whom were civilians) and injured tens of thousands of people, destroyed the world's economy, depleted our weapons reserves and lost billions of dollars worth of destroyed military equipment. We have betrayed our allies and shown our nation to be operating as a terrorist regime posing a significant threat to global security. And what have we gained from this war? Absolutely nothing. Although we killed Ayatollah Khamenei, his son succeeded him as the Supreme Leader, and may be even more radical than his father and will certainly despise the United States more than even his father did during his reign. So we did not change the regime in any meaningful way. Iran has agreed to talk about opening the Strait of Hormuz and to talk about limiting its nuclear ambitions. But even if the U.S. gets everything it wants in these talks, the most we will have achieved in the Middle East is a return to the way things used to be. Except that if Iran disliked the United States before this war, they will truly hate us now. Oh, and we will most likely have to pay Iran war reparations.
The ugly...

The Trump regime knows their popularity is plummeting, and even loyal MAGAts who have voted for Donny 2-Dolls in the past are losing their faith in him as his abuses of power grow ever more blatant. Now the regime is busy trying to rig the 2026 midterm elections in their favor by removing registered voters from state voter rolls if the regime even suspects that the registration may not be eligible. They aren't doing anything to verify the legitimacy of these registrations, they just want them removed in the hopes that the affected voters will find themselves unable to cast their ballot this fall.
This blatant interference in elections, which are required to be managed at the state level instead of the federal level by the U.S. Constitution, is a sign of desperation. The only hope the current regime has to stay in power is through low voter turnout in the midterms. If Americans show up in large numbers for this election, it is highly likely that the Democratic party will gain the majority in both the House and Senate. The only hope left for Republicans is to disenfranchise as many American citizens as they possibly can, as quickly as they can, by any means necessary.
Keeping you informed...
This Memorial Day, we should ask ourselves whether this is what our brave soldiers sacrificed their lives for over the last 250 years:
