🤔 NYCHA funds come from HUD. HUD is a federal agency

The federal gov will not bail out NYCHA. DC is not your Daddy.

56% of all Black Americans live in the South. Outside of Virginia, they will have zero representation in Congress if things continue moving in this direction. Jim Crow Southern dictatorship has returned at the federal level.

I urge our state legislature to reconvene to redistrict another Republican seat in Memphis. It's essential to cement @realDonaldTrump’s agenda and the Golden Age of America. I've vowed to keep Tennessee a red state, and as Governor, I'll do everything I can to make this map a reality.

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.

Today's VRA decision is intellectually dishonest and wrong. The conservatives basically said: Black people can vote for their preferred candidates, as long as they prefer the right candidates -- which will be Republicans.
An absolutely mockery of the law and stain on the court.

THERE IT IS — Voting Rights Act narrowed by SCOTUS.
Seismic decision. Narrowing Section 2 fundamentally looses the rules of redistricting and gerrymandering.
Expect years of aggressive map redraws, legal battles, and partisan hardball before a new status quo emerges. Buckle up.

LANDMARK DECISION — The Supreme Court has narrowed Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act with their decision in Louisiana v. Callais, opening the door to sweeping redistricting changes across the South that could erase up to 10 majority-Black seats and flip them from blue to red.

Justice Kagan:
"I dissent. The Voting Rights Act is—or, now more accurately, was—'one of the most consequential, efficacious, and amply justified exercises of federal legislative power in our Nation's history.' It was born of the literal blood of Union soldiers and civil rights marchers. It ushered in awe-inspiring change, bringing this Nation closer to fulfilling the ideals of democracy and racial equality. And it has been repeatedly, and overwhelmingly, reauthorized by the people's representatives in Congress. Only they have the right to say it is no longer needed—not the Members of this Court. I dissent, then, from this latest chapter in the majority's now-completed demolition of the Voting Rights Act."

The Lakers were +4 in Bronny’s 9 minutes and dead even in the other 44 minutes.
Someone check on all the folks who were catching the vapors over nepotism run wild!
