So, republicans can just ignore their own state constitutions to push through redistricting maps, but Democrats can't even redistrict if the people vote in favor of it. Don't ever tell me "both sides are the same" again.
The NAACP and ACLU have filed lawsuits to block Tennessee GOP’s new racist gerrymandered map which aims to eliminate the state’s only majority black voting district.
Thank you to both for fighting against this white supremacy.
“HANDS OFF MEMPHIS!”
Protestors & Democratic legislators leave the scene of the crime arm in arm, after Tennessee Republicans broke the law to strip Memphis of representation with a racist 9-0 map, drowning out the majority Black city with white power. @GovBillLee
@atrupar People are having to decide between buying gas and buying food, but go ahead and flex about your... black granite floors.
Un-f*cking-believable.
Two Black lawmakers were arrested for their opposition against white state legislators eliminating Black representation in the state of Tennessee.
Absolutely insane things are happening in the year 2026.
Justin J. Pearson: “This new MAGA movement, it is an iteration of the Klan. It has mainstreamed racism, it has mainstreamed white supremacy, it has mainstreamed bigotry, homophobia, transphobia. It has mainstreamed all the worst of who we are as a country”
No vote in Tennessee (+1 GOP)

Virginia’s voter-approved maps thrown out.
MAGA has rigged the system.
Abdul El-Sayed: “We spent $25B on this war in Iran nobody in the US asked for. We could eliminate all of the medical debt in the whole country for $2.5B. We could abolish the medical debt in this country 10x for what we spent on a war we should have never fought”
I just want to point out....
The amount of money the United States has spent on war in the last 67 days, is roughly the same cost that Bernie Sanders proposed for universal college. So the real question is never can we afford it, it's what we choose to prioritize.
Automatic voter registration? THE HORROR!!
If you’re the party trying to make the Democratic process harder for your citizens, you’re on the wrong side of history.
Drawing a map that gives New Orleans no representation via executive order. A disgraceful assault on democracy and hard earned civil rights in the south:.
