Aaron's activity on May 11 centered on several interconnected threads of democratic backsliding and state violence.

The Supreme Court drew significant attention after it greenlit a last-minute Alabama redistricting plan mid-primary, prompting Aaron to amplify commentary framing the Roberts Court's behavior as "hysterical panic" from an institution that has already gone too far to retreat — and for which ending constitutional democracy may feel like the only viable off-ramp. Related to this, Aaron shared concern that the DSCC must prioritize Senate control specifically to block Trump from filling any seats vacated by Alito or Thomas.

Alabama also featured in a separate but related story: the Trump administration's invocation of anti-DEI policy to abandon a consent decree requiring the state to provide basic sanitation to Black residents in Lowndes County, leaving people to live amid raw sewage. Aaron amplified both a Ball & Strikes piece that had reported on this over a year ago and commentary noting that calling indoor plumbing "illegal DEI" is functionally a declaration that certain Americans are undeserving — and that the gutting of the Voting Rights Act forecloses their congressional remedy.

Aaron also engaged with stories about immigration enforcement and detention, sharing concern about the chilling effect of ICE activity on immigrant crime reporting, and amplifying a report about a New Zealand woman who disappeared from ICE's tracking system after being transferred to a Texas tent facility with the system's highest death and sexual assault rates. A piece on widespread sexual violence against Palestinians by Israeli authorities also drew a repost, with commentary noting that sexual violence during wartime and incarceration is common enough to be assumed as a baseline rather than treated as a claim requiring extraordinary proof.
