when i was a little girl, i always fantasized about my wedding. not in a “true love” way but in a “here’s how i would win my episode of four weddings” way
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.
This is deeply disturbing and outright racist. No leader of the free world should dignify anything like this, let alone defend it.
When it’s brushed off publicly, it’s hard not to wonder what’s being tolerated privately. Disgusting.
how shocking that they love to defend the 2nd amendment when it comes to little kids being shot to death at school but will say you deserve to be executed in the street for using your 2A right to protect your community from a gang of murderers sanctioned by a tyrannical regime
The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
