Worried how Republicans will handle the Black vote? Me too, if I'm honest.
But, if Black votes can't guarantee a certain number of Congressional seats, will Democrats continue to care? I mean, Dems shouldn't need a law to honor the alliance they've held with Black America for 80 years, right?

Republicans have no excuse not to redistrict and ensure Democrats never hold a majority ever again in the House
Sean Davis@seanmdav
BREAKING: In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court rules that racial gerrymandering, which has been used to create majority black congressional districts for decades, is unconstitutional. Justice Samuel Alito wrote the opinion for the majority.
English
@jamamiss16 @queenie4rmnola And republicans are specifically carving up New Orleans and forcing red districts despite it consistently voting for democrats
English
@Kyle_lowen @queenie4rmnola Do you see the snake like district? It was gerrymandered solely to make it majority black. That is unconstitutional. Just like if it was gerrymandered to make it all white.
English
Black people in New Orleans and Baton Rouge will no longer have the representation we’ve had in Congress. This is white supremacy

Supreme Court Voting Rights Act Ruling Opens Door for Southern States to Redraw Maps, Dismantle Majority-Black Districts
English
@IsaiahLCarter So where is the black democratic representation in the new map? It’s all red despite majority black cities like New Orleans consistently voting blue.
English
Y'all literally designed a political plantation for Black vote cattle in Louisiana.
You can go fuck yourself.
Chuck Schumer@SenSchumer
The Supreme Court just turned its back on one of the most sacred promises in American democracy—the promise that every voice counts. My statement on the Supreme Court's decision dealing a devastating blow to the Voting Rights Act:

@ScottPresler By eliminating black representation who vote more democratic in the south by a large margin sure you did
English
Democrats will no longer be able to draw congressional maps based on skin color.
We defeated racism.
English
What a great week:
✅Texas map upheld in court
✅Florida officially passes new map
✅SCOTUS bans race-based districts
With these developments, the GOP can net 22 seats in Congress
English
We are so close to legally and politically locking Dems out of power
This is why accelerationism isnt thw answer
Winning is possible with a little bit of political will
Rich Baris THE PEOPLE'S PUNDIT@Peoples_Pundit
Now, get the citizenship question on the next U.S. census, pass the Save Act, and Democrats are FUCKED. They cannot win without gerrymandering and counting illegal aliens. They'd lose the House and Presidency for years despite Republicans largely being frauds.
English
@RBPundit 40% of Mississippians voted for a democratic senator how is this representational?
English
If you really want to enjoy the SCOTUS ruling, scroll through this dude's timeline to see how red state districts would now look sane vs blue state districts that are absolutely bonkers.
Bear in mind this dude is mad about the ruling. He's livid.
Adds to the entertainment.

Mississippi is the most Black state, and its lone Democratic district would seem protected even under the narrowest possible interpretation of the VRA. However, reading Elena Kagan’s dissent, it appears she believes the door is at least slightly open for a 4-0 map.
English
@ingelramdecoucy By slicing cities up in exact way to get rid of their representation really fair
English
Democratic gerrymandered maps all have insane narrow tentacles reaching across the entire state to reach the nearest urban core, Republican ones are always nice and compact and tidy, making sensible contiguous districts that put together voting blocs with shared interest
Vote Republican: Eliminate border gore
Zachary Donnini@ZacharyDonnini
If Republicans aggressively gerrymander the South and eliminate up to 10 Democratic seats under a narrowed VRA, Democrats could become desperate and respond with absurd maps in blue states. This 17-0 Illinois map could become legal, flipping three seats from 🔴 to 🔵.
English
How does the gerrymandering saga end? Serious question.
English
Republicans: We’re going to draw nice square districts based on population, not on racism
Democrats: *incoherent shrieking*
R: How do you draw districts?
D: Like this!!!!
*does crack
*smokes meth
*chugs 4 Loco
*rides in shopping cart
*gets Parkinson’s Disease
* draw districts
English
Democrats are fighting awfully hard for systemic racism today.
English
@Mapping_Buckeye Yeah well they’re not doing that going to erase all black democrat representation clearly.
English
SCOTUS made the right decision. Now it’s time for the south to make the write decision and implement these maps:
English
@jayphoward @KnowingBetterYT Which happen to be mostly black 🫠
English
@KnowingBetterYT fwiw, gerrymandering their maps to favor Republicans would not necessarily be "racist". They're not intentionally disenfranchising black voters; they're intentionally disenfranchising D voters.
English
So, let's see how not-racist the South really is.
I've been told over and over that's all in the past so I'm sure the maps will be fair.
English
@thisappisnotok @trouble_man90 And now black people in the south have zero representation congratulations 🎊
English
@trouble_man90 Hey Tim maybe you should stop bootlicking failed politicians and ask for them to run on policies that Americans actually want. Dems lost to the most beatable candidate of all time twice and you’re still dickriding the corporate Dems that got us here.
English
@BradysOpa @queenie4rmnola That’s not what they vote for though
English
@queenie4rmnola They have representation, it's just republican. Learn to love yourself and stop depending on the democrats to play Santa Claus. It's so much easier to be independent than to ask daddy to feed you.
English
@jamamiss16 @queenie4rmnola And yet you’re going to Gerrymander two of the blackest districts in with white republicans to force republican districts. How is that not erasing all black representation?
English
@queenie4rmnola It is unconstitutional to gerrymander maps by race. And that is exactly what dems were doing in Louisiana. Just because you don't like it that you can't cheat does not mean it is wrong.
English
What today’s SCOTUS ruling on Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act in Louisiana could mean in terms of House seats across the South.
This was a massively important and consequential Court ruling.
