Back in August 2025 @rolandsmartin said this about Political and economic power in Black America being on the line. The Congressional Black Caucus faces an existential threat as the Supreme Court eyes rulings that could erase over 30 Black-held seats. Political and economic power in Black America is on the line. Well what did the Supreme Court do last week?

You see this kind of thing in struggling lower-income Southern households, and it tells a very specific story.
When life hasn't delivered much.... no wealth, no power, no real social standing.... some folks discover that white supremacy is basically a free membership card to a club that makes them feel superior without requiring any actual achievement.
It's the world's laziest status symbol.
The starter kit is always the same:
*A Confederate flag honoring a war their ancestors lost badly 160 years ago.
*A gun they'll never actually need.
*A Bible they've never actually read.
*And Fox News running 24/7 telling them they're REAL Americans.... unlike those fancy elitist Democrats who are secretly importing an army of replacement voters to steal their....
Their what exactly? Their Dollar General? Their 1987 Camaro on cinder blocks in the yard?
FOX found the formula, and they never let go of it: Take a man who has nothing, tell him the reason he has nothing is because those people are taking it.... and suddenly he's not a struggling nobody.
He's a soldier in a cultural war. He matters. He's relevant. He becomes a MAGA Warrior!
And THAT.... ladies and gentlemen.... is precisely how a twice-impeached, four-times-indicted, 34-time felon, bankrupt New York con man who golfs at his own resorts became the hero of the working man.
You genuinely cannot make this stuff up.
And I write this so that hopefully they will recognize what they have done and what they are doing and snap out of it.....
I was born and raised in Appalachia ... These very people could be my relatives ..... but ... I .... got common sense from my granny ----- "question everything". VIA~Lee Murphy
Black people in America need to be registered to vote, all of us. Full Fk’n Stop.
In states like Georgia, Maryland, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama, turning to vote can shift outcomes in House, Senate, and gubernatorial races.
Look at Georgia. About 3.5 million Black residents live here. Roughly 2.5 million of us are eligible to vote, yet only around 1.4 million of us actually do. That leaves between 900,000 and 1.1 million eligible Black voters not participating.
Now compare that to the margins of the last two Ga: governor’s races. In 2018, the race was decided by about 54,000 votes. In 2022, about 191,000 votes. The number of eligible Black voters not participating is between 7 and 10x larger than those margins.
This isn’t about theory, it’s about MATH. If we show up consistently, outcomes change. The shift starts with registration, and it is sustained by turnout.
Register and VOTE.
STOP PLAYING GAMES WITH BLACK PEOPLE, AND BLACK PEOPLE STOP ALLOWING THESE GAMES TO BE PLAYED WITH YOU!!!
@defiantlawyers an actual civil rights attorney provides a detailed analysis of how Democrats secured the Voting Rights Act (VRA) for Black Americans. However, the GOP undermined it with the appointment of three justices by #Trump. Additionally, he explains how certain pro-Black impostors contribute to this issue by discouraging Black individuals from voting or urging them to support Trump.
And here we are: trump has now instructed his DOJ to target #Black and #Latino-majority #voting districts across the country — using the #SupremeCourt’s recent decision gutting the #VotingRightsAct as a legal weapon.
This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see.
His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert.
Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.
Nicki Minaj to all her LGBTQ+ fans after she let the barbs defend her for being homophobic and transphobic and now she’s on stage at Turning Point Usas cult meeting
The LGBTQ community will always support those who support us. Standing up for LGBTQ rights means holding everyone accountable, including our favorite artists. Drop Nicki Minaj from your playlist now.
@NICKIMINAJ
Nicki Minaj career is over, no hits, no records, no sales, no legacy. This is the only thing she got. She married with a pedo and rapist nikka, is racist, homophobic, transphobic and support Trump and Kirk.
1980 NYT article titled Black Men Are Last describes how corporate affirmative action programs have been more beneficial to white women than Black people, especially Black men
This was known way back then, but people still pretended like BAs were the main beneficiaries
Rob Reiner spent decades defending democracy and fighting for equality - even when it wasn’t easy or popular. At a moment when silence is safer, his willingness to speak out is a reminder that protecting democracy requires courage.

Rob Reiner’s impact on cinema is immeasurable.
Across decades, his work shaped how we laugh, how we love, and how we tell stories. From the razor-sharp satire of 'This Is Spinal Tap' to the aching nostalgia of 'Stand by Me,' the enduring romance of 'The Princess Bride' and 'When Harry Met Sally,' the suspense of 'Misery,' and the moral weight of 'A Few Good Men,' his films became cultural touchstones... endlessly quoted, revisited, and cherished across generations.
Rob told stories with uncommon warmth and clarity, moving seamlessly between comedy, romance, drama, and suspense. His work received an Academy Award nomination for 'A Few Good Men' and helped create moments that have lived with audiences for decades. In his films, we continue to find laughter, love, and a reflection of ourselves.
