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.
🩸🩸🩸 TOMORROW!!!!!🩸🩸🩸 NEVER FORGET JANUARY 6! Instead of honoring our Constitution's key principle of a Peaceful Transfer of Power, POS Donald Trump Abused his Power on Jan 6th by inciting this violent & deadly attack on our country's Capital and should be in prison for life 🩸🩸🩸
🩸🩸🩸 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon who incites political violence, adjudicated rapist & pedophile Trump did 🩸🩸🩸
I've covered Baltimore when murders were spiking but today I cover it as murders are down to an almost 50-year low. While one life is still too many, "This is Baltimore's victory and we're showing folks how to reduce violence the right way," @MayorBMScott tells me.
Good question, great answer.
I always say that the people who are closest to the problem are closest to the solution and that’s exactly the culture shift we’re seeing right now across Baltimore.
The Ravens have claimed second place in the AFC North after the Bengals loss.
After going 1-5 to start, Baltimore now sits 2 games out from first place in the AFC North.
Lamar Jackson is coming. 😈
Today, I signed a package of bills to make housing in Baltimore more abundant and affordable.
These bills will help folks buy a home and grow wealth, counter decades of disinvestment, and make sure both long-time and new residents feel the benefits of Baltimore's Renaissance.
