@recordedbey@endlesslyfierce Don't forget Jay Z, and the most absurd list of openers imaginable: DJ Khalid, DMX, Remy Ma, T.I., Ja Rule, Fat Joe, Fetty Wap, Jadakiss
If the Democrats don't make rebalancing and expanding the Supreme Court a top priority for whenever (if?) they next get into power, then I don't know what to say anymore. The GOP-packed court is the biggest block on progress in this country and has been for a while.
🧵THREAD: The Supreme Court ruled today that drawing a congressional district to give Black voters fair representation is unconstitutional racial discrimination.
The Court did not rule that drawing a district to take Black voters' representation away is unconstitutional racial discrimination.
That is the actual ruling.
In a 6 to 3 decision, the Supreme Court struck down Louisiana's congressional map. The map created two majority-Black districts in a state where Black Americans make up roughly one third of the population. The Court ruled that the second majority-Black district was an "unconstitutional racial gerrymander."
Justice Samuel Alito wrote the majority opinion.
Now I want to walk you through what this actually means.
AOC: Companies like Palantir are mining endlessly the data and privacy of the American people—keeping track of everything that they say and do. And sending it to a militarized government.
When you take the subway, when you share a TikTok, when you talk to your Alexa at home, they are collecting your data and figuring out new ways to weaponize it. Now, they are using AI tools to automate this so it is not only pervasive, but that it is effortless. We must sound the alarm now.
BREAKING: @AOC just completely went off on Trump after ICE murdered Alex Pretti.
"Donald Trump [is] accusing a Veteran Affairs ICU nurse (Alex Pretti) as being a terrorist against the United States. A man who was treating services members to our country, who was dedicating his life to serving Americans. Who in his final act on this earth was helping a woman pushed to the ground. And they are calling him a Domestic Terrorist, in order to defend their gross abuse of power, their absolute breaching of the law and in order to precipitate greater conflict."
We have a responsibility to protect Americans from tyranny.
DHS just shot a man in broad daylight two weeks after they shot a mother in the face without consequence.
They need our votes to continue. We cannot give it to them. Every Senator should vote NO.
