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.
Empowering in its nature. I've learned so much from my pure individual kids, the melancholy, the moods. Gotta admit it lights me up, (most the time I'm still a bit tribal lol), when they rebel against the tribe norms.
They empower me to stand in my uniqueness & empower theirs.
Okay, so how do you get in the right place? You be yourself. Because the right setting for you is whoever comes when you are being yourself and whatever opportunities arise when you're being yourself — that's the right place to be. And that's how you get to being in the right place.
I lost everyone, then I lost myself. Then when I found myself, I lived life focusing on what I want, not what I didn't want and the things I wanted came to me. We lose to grow #selfawareness
