I kept a diary my year with the Boss and I decided to let him speak in these existential times. Here is what I think he would say re #BrownvBoard at 70 and the Roberts Court. @GeorgetownLaw @politico @BeaconPressBks @diverse_schools

Corrupt!

As evidenced by the unbridled promotion and implementation of technology at the expense of human dignity, we are truly experiencing an eclipse of the sense of what it means to be human. It is imperative to recover an understanding of the true meaning and grandeur of humanity as intended by God. It is in this sense that the challenge we currently face is not technological, but anthropological, and it is my hope that the Encyclical Letter to be published within a few days will contribute to answering this challenge.

Alabama @RepTerriSewell and New York @RepAOC are in Montgomery with thousands of other demonstrators.

“When the flare goes up, we have to pull up,” AOC said. “That's what our assignment is ... We have to show up ... We cannot allow the rights of people here to be eviscerated.”

The direct assault on Black political power across the South has ignited a level of fury that some Republicans didn't anticipate.

This Saturday, thousands plan to descend on Alabama to fight back. Black women are ready.

Multiple Black celebrities, activists, and elected officials have raised their concerns in the wake of the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling that weakened the Voting Rights Act and unfurled a host of redistricting battles across the country.

A Louisiana resident who identified himself as Marshawn delivered a fiery, emotional speech to lawmakers during a state Senate hearing over redistricting Monday, accusing Republicans of trying to “cheat” Black voters out of political power.

For shame …

BREAKING: SCOTUS just denied our motion to recall the judgment in Louisiana v. Callais, which the Court transmitted prematurely and in contravention of the procedural rules that typically affords litigants 25 days to request a rehearing of a case that was wrongly decided. 1/5

[Sheryll Cashin @SheryllCashin]

Amen!

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

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.

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world. Most of all, it’s a testament to the resilience and determination of the Hungarian people – and a reminder to all of us to keep striving for fairness, equality and the rule of law.
