Make no mistake. This right-wing Supreme Court is hellbent on erasing the progress secured by our foremothers and forefathers during the Civil Rights Movement. But we are NOT going back!

This decision is outrageous. MAGA is SCARED of YOU. They know they LOSE when Black, Latino, and diverse voters are heard — so they shut them up and rig the maps. We’re not backing down. November is coming.

Breaking news: The Supreme Court weakened a key provision of the landmark Voting Rights Act, a ruling that limits the consideration of race in drawing voting maps and could usher in Republican gains in the House. wapo.st/42BR4qd

Barack Obama
Barack Obama@BarackObama·
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.

John Lewis was beaten with clubs wrapped in barbed wire on the Edmund Pettus Bridge fighting for voting rights. Today’s SCOTUS decision takes the sacrifice and fight of all who marched before us and throws it away. We must keep marching — too many have fought too hard to give up.

The Supreme Court just gave states the ability to steal power from Black voters and hand it to those who want to drag us back in time.  They gutted the Voting Rights Act, legislation that people bled for. A court that does not protect voting rights is not a court at all.

Voter suppression is a way of life for Donald Trump and far right extremists on the Supreme Court. Republicans know they cannot win a free and fair election in November and so they are desperate to rig it. We will never let them succeed.
