What Clyburn is saying here is actually very important. The court found a way to rule that a 75% white district (higher than SC’s total non Hispanic white pop.) is legal if you call it a political gerrymander, but a 40 or 45% Black district is an illegal racial gerrymander.

"It is my obligation as a Jewish person to distinguish Jews from the state of Israel. Our religion and our culture is such an important and long-standing institution that is really separate to this sort of ethnonationalist state." https://t.co/D7ME3jRDEm
Every American historian uses this image to teach students about 'manifest destiny' and ethnic cleansing, but I would guess that most of us didn't imagine that the US government would unironically reclaim it in the twenty-first century
