Justice Kagan:

"I dissent. The Voting Rights Act is—or, now more accurately, was—'one of the most consequential, efficacious, and amply justified exercises of federal legislative power in our Nation's history.' It was born of the literal blood of Union soldiers and civil rights marchers. It ushered in awe-inspiring change, bringing this Nation closer to fulfilling the ideals of democracy and racial equality. And it has been repeatedly, and overwhelmingly, reauthorized by the people's representatives in Congress. Only they have the right to say it is no longer needed—not the Members of this Court. I dissent, then, from this latest chapter in the majority's now-completed demolition of the Voting Rights Act."

[Yvette Carnell 🇺🇸 @BreakingBrown]

Slavery in this country lasted 246 years. Jim Crow lasted around 100 years.

Our attempt to remedy the impact of those crimes against humanity was met with white terrorism & savagery.

The laws we finally got passed to address these harms were relentlessly challenged & lasted only 61 years before they were all finally stripped away.

This country has decided that the idea of race can be used to multigenerationally oppress us, but any remedy must be race neutral, which means there can be no remedy.

Never again will I vote for a presidential candidate who is unwilling to admit that America—a country that wouldn’t exist without chattel slavery—is a racist nation. That’s the beginning for me, before we even get to policies & legislation.

Safety question for @united Since Houston is only 350 miles from SpaceX Starbase, what is being done to coordinate safety after Jan. 16 explosion? I am concerned about and thinking about switching to American and Dallas airport. BTW, your website has no option for safety inquiry.
