Thank you @nytimes for this incredible honor. All I ever wanted to be known as, before anything else, is a songwriter. Being in the company of the genius songwriters on this list is an honor all on its own. Thank you @danamo for the illuminating interview, and @VictoriaMonet for your beautifully generous words. It means more than you know.

Today’s Supreme Court ruling guts the Voting Rights Act and turns back the clock on the foundational promise of equality and fairness in our election systems.
Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act was one of the last remaining federal protections for Black and brown voters against maps deliberately drawn to dilute their political power. That protection has been stripped away.
It is an outrage. But it is not a surprise.
It is part of an agenda that conservatives set in place decades ago to steal power from everyday people and then cling to that power for generations.
The court’s decision is motivated by politics and designed to give an upper hand to Donald Trump’s Republican Party, which faces the threat of losing the upcoming midterm elections.
We must pay attention to what happens next.
The fight now returns to the states. Legislatures — particularly those in the South — will rush to redraw districts before voting for the midterms begins in just a few months. Already, Louisiana and Florida are planning to redraw their maps, and we should not be surprised if others rapidly follow suit ahead of the midterms and 2028. Their politically-motivated power grab is meant to protect elected Republicans from any consequences for their failure to make groceries, gas, health care, or housing more affordable for you and your family. They want to cheat and choose their voters, instead of the voters deciding who they choose.
The mission before us is to restore the power of the people. There is no question our fight became harder today, but I know we are up for the battle.

Today, the Supreme Court killed the Voting Rights Act. It's a disaster for minority political power, and for democracy—and there’s only one way out of this. @ElieNYC explains.

As I've said for years, SCOTUS expansion is THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT THING Democrats can achieve, it should be their literal #1 priority
Because even *if* we get back into power, SCOTUS will strike down everything libs and leftists want to achieve: voting rights reform, M4A...

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 Supreme Court ruling further weakens a law born out of sacrifice, struggle, and the determination of people who risked everything for the right to vote.
Voting rights remain essential to justice, representation, and the dignity of citizenship. This decision certainly weakens key protections and sets up a path that could make fair representation even more difficult.
This is a critical election year, and it is also a critical moment to call for new voting rights legislation.
Through Kingian Nonviolence, we can organize, strategize, and coordinate our efforts to combat voter suppression and create a pathway to restore and protect representation.
Register. Verify your status. Make a plan to vote. Help others do the same.
If we are serious about creating the Beloved Community, we must be serious about protecting and using the right to vote.

Dred Scott case
Plessy v. Ferguson
and now today. The U.S. Supreme Court memorializes discriminatory policies into law, generation after generation. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 is now constricted, empowering voter suppression of Black Americans. “Makes me sick how far we done fell”
