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.
im really the multipurpose friend we can go to the club or we could go to church or we could read or we could pull up and slap your nigga, it don’t matter tbh 😭
Yes. It’s one of the most architecturally pleasing cities in America. We literally have the best skyline in this country. Oh, and our buildings are up to code for the most part.
“I’m a people pleaser” is officially the new “I’m an empath.” The worst person you’ve ever met thinks they’re a people pleaser. Never pleased a person in their life
