Multiple judges ruled that Alabama’s maps discriminated based on race. Yet the Supreme Court is bending over backwards to let them stand.

This court will do anything to help Republicans stay in power. No matter the cost.

They have lost all semblance of impartiality.

🚨 The Most Shocking Part Of The Alabama Redistricting Case Isn't The Map.

It's What The Supreme Court Said About It.

According to critics of the ruling, the Court acknowledged that Black voters were being denied equal political representation under Alabama's congressional map.

Yet despite recognizing the problem, the Court ultimately allowed the map to remain in place.

That's why opponents see the decision as so consequential.

The debate is no longer over whether discrimination occurred.

It's over what happens when a court identifies it and the map survives anyway.

It's a fight over whether voting rights protections still have teeth.

This is crazy! Sad to see this happen to my friends in the Tennessee Black Caucus. Everyone regardless of political party should condemn these actions.

[Kristen Clarke @KristenClarkeJD]

NEW: Almost every member of the Tennessee Black Caucus in the State House being PUNISHED and stripped of Committee assignments for speaking out against mass disenfranchisement of Black voters. This is the kind of racism we can expect to see more often in the wake of Callais.

🚨BREAKING: The U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) has allowed Alabama to select a different map for this year’s congressional elections in a stunning, last-minute move to interfere with another state primary election that has already begun. https://t.co/doS2poc2Mz

We won’t stand by and watch the work of our elders for voting rights be erased without a response. I hope to see you in Montgomery this Saturday. 🇺🇸

It should be pointed out that one of them, @RepRichmond, a good friend & classmate is my age.

Rep. Cleo Fields, whose 6th Congressional District was ruled unconstitutional, gives his testimony. Fields pointed out how the only four African-American representatives from Louisiana since 1877 are here. #lalege #lagov @LAFirstNews

#BREAKING: Legendary #Maddow: “We are now about sixteen months into what has been from day one, a concerted and intense targeting of Black Americans specifically by this president and by this administration…When Trump and his top political donor Elon Musk then started just lopping off huge swaths of the federal government…the largest and most egregious cuts targeted federal agencies that employed a disproportionate number of Black employees. Reporter Erica Green wrote about this for…NYT: ‘…nothing had moved backwards in the federal government for Black Americans this quickly or this far…since Woodrow Wilson came in in 1912 and resegregated the federal workforce…”😳

Why am I not surprised.
