Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach.
The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.
@DHSgov And government agencies should stop using what funding they do have and the scale of their platforms to clearly violate the Hatch Act every day. Yet here we are.
@JDVance Uh yeah… when we find NAZI’s dining, we don’t give them a heartfelt welcome. Feed them MRE’s somewhere, don’t let them dine out on the government dime while they occupy an American city
@JDVance You guys can’t share a single thing without saying “Joe Biden’s Fault”
You lack any vision beyond gaining power and full control by whatever means necessary—but not helping people
Mr Vance, you are a cancer and eventually we will cut you and your cronies out and prosecute you
@Canada can you and the other middle-powers keep our President @realDonaldTrump for us? He’s responsible for more than a few war crimes. Ask the @SwissGov for help. Keep him in an underground vault in Geneva surrounded by gold as long as needed. He won’t notice the difference.
@LauraJedeed@DHSgov Surreal going on Twitter and your close high school friend is called horrible names. I remember Laura as Conservative / Libertarian: we would have loud debates all throughout the halls. Not an idiot then, not an idiot now. Laura is a compassionate and brilliant person
@JDVance You are a freaking terrorist and radical with no love of country or constitution, only love of self and love of power. You deserve only one place in American history: to serve as a warning of our worst impulses. A modern confederate.
@DHSgov Many of you will eventually be tried for treason and the American people will support the sentence of execution for your betrayal of our country. 250 years and you shameful thugs hurt our country more every day.
@TriciaOhio@DHSgov Ooooooo, TikTok’s, I’m shaking in my little liberal boots I’m so scared. One would think that an MS-13 terrorist would have linked up with his buddies and started unleashing mayhem. But alas, he’s unleashing short form brain rot
@BasedMikeLee You correctly identify that printing money makes it worth less in real terms. But, if our money goes further overseas (eg in Japan), it means US spending power is higher and our relative inflation lower than in the rest of the world…
@CBP But I’m a citizen, you morons! I will refuse to engage with you if you ever stop me out in the open. And why waste so much heavy firepower on low-level non-criminal undocumented people in the interior, you have an actual legally-mandated mission to protect the borders!!!
