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.

@FurkanGozukara@StableGeniustm@sabback I’m so confused. I don’t know what is real and what isn’t. I’m in 🇦🇺 and we are in the media for not assisting but, as far as our govt is telling us we have when asked. But we haven’t been asked about sending boats. What is real??
@StevenEKuhn Hello. I’m in 🇦🇺. Was the assignation attempt “real?” We are a little in the dark, about everything and now with petrol prices, I’m buying friends food because, well prices. Where do I find the real information??
@atrupar I’m not in America. Is this humor? I’m seeing a lot of content about “how funny he is” Was The Strait of Trump humor or a misstep? Someone help me understand
@sogymsotravel I’m not sure this is your real account. When I turned 30, I freaked out. I thought time was running out. 35, thought,I’m closer to 40. 36, I got diagnosed with spinal cancer. Now I’m 50. I can’t remember really the last 14 years. Some days people ask my age I almost say 36.
