Interesting that wage theft is never called a national crisis

They’ll socialize Ai that no one wants before they’ll socialize healthcare that everyone needs

[Angel Carroll @iangelcarroll]

If Black women are the backbone of the Democratic Party, why does the headline lineup for the Texas State Convention make us feel like an afterthought?

We’re 20 days out and coming out of a primary where the isms and micro/macro aggressions were LOUD.

NEW: In just the 12 states with available data, the number of children receiving SNAP has fallen by more than 700,000 since H.R. 1's unprecedented SNAP cuts were enacted last July — despite claims from Republican lawmakers that kids wouldn't lose benefits. https://t.co/GHJlzazTTM

Up to 237,000 housing units could be built on underutilized postal sites—including ~117,000 in areas with the most acute supply shortages. Aaron Shroyer, Ben McAdams, and Glen Nuckolls on how USPS could turn real estate into a revenue asset while helping solve the housing crisis. https://t.co/xs3LqVe0vH

The NAACP is taking a stand. Today, we launch the #OutofBounds campaign, a national call to action for Black athletes, families, fans, and allies.

In response to states erasing Black voting representation after the Supreme Court’s Louisiana v. Callais decision, we are demanding accountability.

"Out of Bounds is our answer: we are naming the contradiction, and we are calling on Black athletes, families, fans, and consumers to act on it. The same power that built these programs can be redirected." —NAACP President and CEO @DerrickNAACP

[Commissioner Davante Lewis @davantelewis]

The Senate has locked the doors and not allowing people in the hallway for the hearing. Also, telling people in the hallway they can’t leave. Never seen this before!

They will do everything to silence people to pass their Jim Crow Maps. #lalege #lagov

This reminds me when my people got free then started running for office so them people…. Started murdering us and Weaponizing the legislature and the courts so they could claw back control.

History always repeats itself, we will always win in the end…

[Julia Baker @julia_r_baker]

House Speaker Cameron Sexton has removed Democratic Caucus members from standing committees until next session due to "disrupting processes" and "creating disorder" during the special session.

We might be watching the fastest rollback of power for Blacks in the South since Hayes ended Reconstruction in 1877.

[Jacob Rubashkin @JacobRubashkin]

So the Supreme Court said four months was too close to the Texas primary for a lower court to block their congressional map, but one week is enough time in Alabama?

[Lyndon Baines Johnson @lyndonbajohnson]

The Voting Rights Act was built on an assumption by its authors (primarily Abe Fortas and Nicholas Katzenbach) that the South would only act in racist ways if allowed to and so had to be stopped from doing so at all times forever, and holy shit was that assumption dead on. -OS
