Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach.
The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.
Trump has called for the execution of democrats. He’s celebrated their deaths… and now he’s calling them the greatest enemy of the state.
This isn’t normal. Remove him from office. He is a threat to the moral fabric of this nation.
On this day in 1969, activist and chairman of the Black Panther Party Fred Hampton, was assassinated by Chicago police and the FBI at just 21 years old.
William O'Neal, an FBI informant, infiltrated the Black Panthers and set up Fred Hampton for $300.

@BestFightClip “Let him up” is diabolical because TF why???? You set someone up!!! We have all seen how “jumping” someone has turned out and it usually has ended with a body he has EVERY right to whoop dat ass
2 women sexually assaulted a man in the gym. He was working out and minding his business. They decided to slap and grab his butt. When he turned around, they acted like nothing happened. They proceeded to laugh at him. He knew it was the women. Listen ladies, you better hope they’re not there with their spouse. You walk over, but you’re limping back. Keep your hands to yourself. Fellas start calling 911 and making a scene. If a man did this, he would be arrested and banned from all gyms. This angered me.
