People before politics. People are more important than ideas. Just a girl trying to make the left be honest.

@MemphisHoller What if the reason black Memphians have been represented by a white Democrat for 20 years is because the district has been gerrymandered to exclude East Memphis and Shelby County so dems can leverage the “black vote”.

Question: Why would the Super Bowl ever come to a Jim Crow state that intentionally strips representation from Black people? cc: @NFL

@jamiescoop You’re going to be ignored because that’s not how maps are drawn. The party in power draws them and they don’t even consult their own people.

Tennesseans overwhelmingly oppose this illegal move. Many of us have reached out to our representatives to tell them so, but we're being ignored. It's time for term limits for our Legislature. They no longer work for us but the White House.
Speaker Cameron Sexton@CSexton25

The Supreme Court has opined that redistricting, like the judicial system, should be color-blind. The decision indicated states can redistrict based off partisan politics. Today, Tennessee joins other red and blue states in redrawing their congressional maps. @ltgovmcnally

The poorest, most violent, worst-schooled Black communities in America - Baltimore, Detroit, Memphis, Chicago’s South Side - have been represented by Black Democrats in Congress for DECADES. How did having “black representation” serve the black community in those cities?

#FINAL Election tweet of the night: 89,848 people voted out of 577,000 registered voters….making voter turnout 16% in this Shelby County Primary election. @ShelbyVote officials say this surpasses 2018’s voter turnout. The General Election will be held Thursday, August 6th.

@TheTNHoller @SenJohnStevens The whole point of the Supreme Court ruling was so that they don’t draw the map based on race. So asking him questions about the racial makeup is missing the point of the Supreme Court ruling. Give it up. They are going to redraw that map.

WATCH: “How are you proposing a map and you don’t know anything about it?” 🤔 @SenJohnStevens pretends not to know 🤷🏼Memphis is majority-Black as Sen. Lamar grills him about racist Republican 9-0 congressional maps. (because for lawsuit reasons they can’t admit it’s about race)

@Star76Shine @TheTNHoller @VoteGloriaJ Well Davidson has a lot more than rural areas and many people are independent, and they get hosed in that process. I see the argument, but the sign they post is a political scare tactic. Tennessee is an open primary state on purpose, for now.

@Leftywithacheck @TheTNHoller @VoteGloriaJ The answer is to get candidates for your party, not vote in the opposing party's primary. I lived in Davidson County and had several elections that didn't have a candidate for my party, but I never voted in the opposition's primary.

🔥 @VoteGloriaJ: “I want you all to know how important it is you show up in NASHVILLE (this) week… we need you there. Big rally noon Tuesday. Even some Republicans are having problems with this. It’s Jim Crow with a sharpie. It’s not a special session, it’s a White Power rally.”

WATCH: “Does this feel like the right thing to do? Are you ready to be on the wrong side of side of history?” Tennessee Republicans generally remorseless about stripping representation from majority Black Memphis, drowning it out with white power to protect a corrupt president.

@usamahandrabi @jamiescoop @Justinjpearson 1. It was the Supreme Court. It actually makes using race illegal, which is what we’ve all wanted. 2. Wonder why Germantown is gerrymandered into rural west TN and not Memphis? 3. Nothing more racist than saying all black people are democrats. That’s literal racism.

Not enough people are talking about that at Trump's directive, TN Republicans are starting a special session today to gerrymander the state's only Black majority district — Memphis — out of existence. #TN09 was on track to elect @Justinjpearson in August
