Justice Kagan: "The Callais requirements have thus laid the groundwork for the largest reduction in minority representation since the era following Reconstruction." "[T]he majority makes a nullity of Section 2 and threatens a half-century's worth of gains in voting equality."

Leader Jeffries torches SCOTUS: You "right wing extremists on the Supreme Court" don’t get to pretend racism is over while gutting the Voting Rights Act in the same breath. This fight ain't over. They started it, but we will FINISH it.

LBJ signs Voting Rights Act, US Capitol Rotunda, 1965.

Turns out she was right AGAIN.

"There are days—this is one of them—when you wonder what your role is in this country and what your future is in it.” -James Baldwin

Since Clarence Thomas voted to weaken the power of Black votes his vote on rulings going forward should be worth less than every other justice on the supreme court.

Protect the vote. Protect the future. A democracy that weakens voting rights weakens itself.

@JohnJHarwood @RandyEBarnett If Obama had a son, he would do great things like his dad, not run his mouth on social media like you! Georgetown should be ashamed of you, I know I am!

Today's SCOTUS ruling is a corrupt assault on the voting rights of Black and Brown Americans. Justice Kagan is right. Section 2 is now essentially a dead letter. Republicans want to gerrymander their way to power because they know it's their only way to win. We'll keep fighting fire with fire. The voters won't forget this.

The US Supreme Court ruled today that Black votes are worth less than others.

One picture is worth a thousand words.

The Voting Rights Act enshrines equal opportunities for underrepresented groups to ensure they have a voice in our democracy. This Court's appalling decision to gut the Voting Rights Act undermines the trailblazing and morally necessary work of the civil rights heroes who risked everything to guarantee equal representation for us all.

He can put his name on coins, notes, buildings, roads, passports all he wants… All people will remember is that his name was all over the Epstein files.

Hey, Trump administration: If we’re suddenly so concerned about violence, how about indictments of the killers of Renee Good and Alex Pretti?

The warning signs have been there since 2013. Today, a 6–3 Supreme Court majority didn’t just rule—they further unraveled hard-won voting rights that define our progress as a nation.

"Why do I bash Trump? Because he’s earned it. He’s in our faces each and every day—he’s turned all of life into political life. So we are left with a choice: passively accept your lot as a victim in his altered reality, or resist it and fight back." open.substack.com/pub/mattlabash…

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.

True Story. ✅

I really hate to inadvertantly amplify someone like this - but MY GOD. The overt racism just makes me sick to my stomach - and they point fingers at Dems?! (Turley is no better.) @GeorgetownLaw - I am appalled that this man is a professor at your school.
