Thread by @KevinMKruse: because if you’re going to get up and flat out lie Mitch, at least be sure that the receipts aren’t legion. 🙄 https://t.co/Yc1wrL2uSg
So crazy how Black people were vocal in warning re Fetterman & Platner & y’all were basically like- & I’m paraphrasing here-
‘Shut the fuck up, you Blacks’
"As Justice Jackson put it: 'The Court unshackles itself from both constraints today and dives into the fray. And just like that, those principles give way to power.'

Not only was the Supreme Court's VRA decision cynical and wrong, it has now resulted in the governor of Louisiana declaring state of emergency to suspend the ongoing congressional election. If you think this ends in Louisiana or with redistricting, you are not paying attention.
@esglaude Sir, with all due respect, I’m all for redemption and second chances, but I would argue that James Baldwin would have read you for filth—loudly, proudly, publicly—given your role in moving us toward this moment. “A complex thing can’t be made simple.” Yet, you oversimplified.
According to this new Supreme Court ruling, total blue states like Colorado can draw an 8-0 blue map, Illinois a 17-0 blue map, and California a 52-0 blue map. Time to respond accordingly to this new conservative threat and give Republicans exactly what they asked for.
A new study shows that Black women outpace every other group of women in workforce participation. Yet they are still paid less, build less wealth, and retire in poverty at twice the rate of white women. This is not a coincidence. This is a system. It is long past time this country started carrying them the way they have carried us. https://t.co/IXd9U8kFJx
