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.
No amount of words can convey how far behind this country will be in every avenue for a number of years because of this administration and everyone associated with them with stuff like this happening.
The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it.
This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.
Trump's recklessness is needlessly putting our brave service members in harm's way, destroying America's global standing, and making life even more unaffordable for the American people.
We must all stand against this and oppose funding this illegal war of choice.
The funny part about religious fanatics is they ignore the part of the religious books that tells them to help the needy and feed the poor and only focus on the parts that justify their hate for how other people live
🚨BREAKING: A clip of Donald Trump from 2024 is going mega viral: “I can tell you you’re not going to have a war with Iran with me as president.”
Truly curious if any MAGA voters are willing to admit they were played.
BREAKING🚨 A man was choked to death by ICE guards, and DHS hid his body at a military base to block the autopsy.
His name was Geraldo Lunas Campos. When the county medical examiner finally performed an autopsy, the conclusion was devastatingly clear: his death was ruled a homicide.
But here is the detail that should make your blood run cold.
When another man recently died at that exact same #ICE facility, the Department of Homeland Security didn't call the local medical examiner. Instead, they moved his body to a nearby U.S. Army base.
And that Army base is now flat-out refusing to release the results of the autopsy.
This was revealed today by Senator Dick Durbin in a horrifying congressional hearing about the explosion of deaths in ICE custody under the Trump administration.
Eight people have already died in ICE custody in just the first two months of this year alone. Many of them died from easily treatable illnesses.
911 logs show ICE facilities are completely overwhelmed, ignoring basic human rights.
But moving a body to a military installation to dodge a local homicide investigation? That isn't just negligence. That is a coordinated, state-sponsored cover-up.
They are operating mass detention facilities with zero accountability. They are treating human beings like they are disposable. And when their guards cross the line, they use the full weight of the federal military apparatus to hide the evidence.
We are watching human rights abuses happen on American soil, funded by our tax dollars. We must demand the autopsy report.
Share this. Do not let them sweep these deaths under the rug.
“We didn’t start this war. But under president Trump, we’ll finish it”
Ummm, no Pete. You did start this war. Trump gave an 8 minute speech to explain his “preemptive strike”. Preemptive meaning, before the other country strikes.
Don’t play the victim now. Take ya lumps.
