The Trump Administration just bulldozed an 1000 year-old Native American site to build a border wall in Arizona. The carvings there were sacred to native tribes and had been undisturbed for a millennium.

NEW: Two more lawsuits were filed to stop Louisiana from delaying the U.S. House primaries to redraw the state's congressional map ahead of the midterms. This brings the count of lawsuits challenging the suspension — which came in response to SCOTUS' gutting of the Voting Rights Act — up to three. democracydocket.com/cases/louisian…

Three men just cut off abortion pills by mail. Not elected. Not doctors. Three Republican-appointed judges who don't answer to us. This hits every woman in America. It hits hardest where there are no clinics left and the mail was the only option. We're not asking Congress to act. We're telling them: hands off our Mifepristone. Keep abortions safe.

NEW: Oklahoma Refuses to Payout Million Dollar Settlement to Man after being wrongly convicted. Henry Jamerson’s $26 million record breaking settlement with the City of Tulsa came after a lawsuit detailed allegations of evidence hiding by TPD. Under Oklahoma state law, there's a provision for folks to get paid by the state for the time they wrongfully served. "Under state statute, Mr. Jamerson’s entitled to $50,000 a year for every year that he’s been wrongfully imprisoned through the State of Oklahoma," said Attorney Dan Smolen.

The Supreme Court’s decision on Callais v. Louisiana, which just gutted the Voting Rights Act, was likely influenced by amicus briefs filed by some of the most conservative legal groups in the country — including the Pacific Legal Foundation, Public Interest Legal Foundation, Center for Election Confidence, America First Legal Foundation, Landmark Legal Foundation, and Judicial Watch. Many of these groups are backed by ultraconservative figureheads like the Koch brothers, the Coors foundation, oil and gas interests like ExxonMobil, the right-wing Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation, conservative dark money vehicle DonorsTrust, the Restoration of America PAC, and the Sarah Scaife foundation.

BREAKING:  Project8647.info has just launched. Sign the pledge and Please SHARE! They sent the secret service to my house, now we are fighting back! 8647!

10 red states have or are in the process of imposing brutal gerrymanders without a single vote. 2 blue states have responded with voter-approved temporary redraws. Democrats have also introduced a bill to ban gerrymandering nationwide. Both sides are not the same.

@AP We keep going backwards and backwards, all the progress we have made in the past 50 years gone wtf...

Off duty police pulls over Hispanic woman driving—while wearing his "Trump 45" shirt. Cut the woman off in traffic with his gun drawn—then pulled her out of car and handcuffed her. He never identified himself. Cop is so MAGA—his truck has personalized license plate "Prez 45." 18-year-old Breanna Pantoja said she felt like she was being profiled—and was not involved in any accident like the cop accused her. "At first I thought I was getting robbed or something cause I didn't know it was a police officer or anything. All I saw was a gun pointed at me." The officer has been identified as Lt. Dan Miller—who was previously involved in an on-duty shooting of a Hispanic man in 2017. That shooting left the unarmed man dead—and led to a lawsuit filed by the Gomez family that was settled for $599,000. This current incident occurred in the North Riverside suburb of Chicago, Illinois.

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents surrounded the WRONG HOUSE for NINE HOURS… got a warrant… and still arrested the wrong person. They were looking for Gerson Manuel Portillo-Escobar, a human trafficking suspect who lived at 919 Hamilton Crossings Station, Antioch, Tennessee. Instead, they targeted someone at 939… a completely different home… and arrested Miguel Antonio Blanco, who has no criminal record. Agents saw Miguel go inside his own house and decided he was their suspect… Even though they had the correct name, address, and a photo of the actual person, who lived a few houses away. Miguel told them repeatedly they had the wrong person. They ignored him. For nine hours, they called out someone else’s name and tried to get inside. Then, they got a warrant… forced entry… and took a man who wasn’t on that warrant. This is a Fourth Amendment violation… you can’t have probable cause if you have the wrong person and the wrong house. It also raises due process concerns under the Fifth Amendment… because the government doesn’t get to ignore facts and detain someone anyway. They had the right information… They just didn’t use it.

#BREAKING: Psaki: “…because of this ruling, if voters want to sue arguing that their congressional map discriminates against them because of their race, they have to prove not just that the impact of the map is discriminatory, but that the people who drew the map intended to discriminate against them because of their race. So in the case of Louisiana, that would mean you couldn’t just show how the map clearly diluted the power of black voters…you would have to somehow prove that the lawmakers who drew that map did it with racist intent, and that is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to do.”🙄🤦‍♀️

We held an emergency Defend District 9 press conference this AM to make clear that we will not allow racist attacks on our democracy to go unchecked! 🙏🏾 TN-09 where I am running for Congress is our state’s only Democratic & only majority Black district left. More to come.

Let's go win this thing, @KeishaBottoms

Louisiana’s GOP governor just declared a STATE OF EMERGENCY to CANCEL an election. Not for a storm — but to redraw maps so he can ERASE a historically Black district. They’re not even hiding it. MAGA is rigging elections to silence YOU.
