Trump’s handpicked Supreme Court is making it harder for Black communities to have their voices heard at the ballot box. The Court is dragging our country backward and opening the door to the same kind of voter suppression seen during the Jim Crow era.

I don't say this often. But if you or your loved ones live in TX: you must read this story from the Texas Tribune & ProPublica about flood safety. Flooding is simply part of life in TX, you ignore this information at your own risk, and hurricane season starts Monday. 🧵
In the wake of the Callais decision, Black political representation is under direct assault. Across the South, lawmakers are rushing to redraw congressional maps to dilute Black voting strength and roll back decades of progress secured through the Voting Rights Act.
