Best analysis I've read on the Roberts Court destroying the Voting Rights Act and the decision's racist implications.
A powerful opening connecting it with the deceptive use of "colorblindness."

Suspending a primary election days before early voting starts just so you can redraw the maps to disenfranchise Black and brown voters is a perfect example of the lengths Republican politicians will go to rig our democracy in their favor.
🔴PAY ATTENTION: The Governor of Louisiana is declaring an emergency to cancel an ongoing election so that his party can rig the rules moving forward. This is not just about redistricting... https://t.co/xIxoNJ75O1
Trump, after having a 90 min phone call with Putin, puts out a truth social that he is considering withdrawing all troops from Germany. Something sinister is going on between them. It’s time for “concerned” Republicans to speak out
Since Trump was elected, Meta got $21.7 billion in tax breaks & cut 11,600 jobs while Mark Zuckerberg got $34 billion richer and is now worth $237 billion.
The idea that corporations will create jobs if you give them tax breaks is a myth made up by CEOs who want more tax breaks.
WILD: 🇺🇸 Congressman Goldman showed 'credible FBI receipts' that Trump "unzipped his pants, forced a 13-year-old’s head down, and when she bit his p*nis, he punched her and called her a b*tch."
"There's multiple allegations that he sexually assaulted young girls."
The Voting Rights Act was never about giving Black people something extra. It was about forcing America to stop taking away what they already deserved: the right to vote, the right to representation, and the right to full citizenship.
Stop diminishing truth to satisfy purposeful stupidity.
“Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate," - Donald Trump As Trump's Iran war drags on, remember: President Obama ensured Iran couldn't get a nuclear weapon without starting a war. It was Trump who ripped up that deal.
Actually, Iran did sign a nonnuclear deal in 2015 under the leadership of President Obama.
You blew it up.
Then plunged America into another reckless and costly war of choice in the Middle East.
Trump’s FCC chair, Brendan Carr, says he plans to punish and potentially revoke broadcast licenses for TV networks critical of the Trump administration:
“I’d be surprised if we don’t go down the path of license revocation for some. It will be up to them and their conduct.”
This is fascism. This is what they do in authoritarian countries.
This is cancel culture on steroids.
Where’s the outrage?
WOW
Pete Hegseth just lied under oath before Congress.
Asked whether he’d follow the President or the Constitution, he claimed Biden deployed troops to polling locations in 15 states in 2024.
It never happened.
Federal law prohibits deploying armed forces to polling locations.
It didn’t happen under Biden.
It didn’t happen under any president.
He lied.
Under oath.
To Congress.
They’re making it harder for women to vote.
They’re making it harder for trans people to vote.
They’re making it harder for Black and brown people to vote.
They were never worried about voter fraud.
They wanted to suppress certain people.
It’s white supremacy.
🚨THE MEDIA IS ASLEEP. THIS SHOULD BE EVERYWHERE:
Pete Hegseth launches a MAJOR contradictory blunder and says Iran’s nuclear facilities were already obliterated, NEGATING the entire reason for the war.
Pete Hegseth is as DUMB as he is incompetent!
BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Senator Elissa Slotkin just exposed Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth's plans to try and rig the upcoming midterm elections. Hegseth's non-answer says everything.
