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.
@PeteButtigieg When Democrats stop being decent people that’s when all of this started. Now they no longer deserve power. They can’t compromise. There’s no discussion. It’s their way or the highway. White Democrats are the most racist people on the planet. SCOTUS got it right today.
Today's Supreme Court decision reverses hard-won progress under the Voting Rights Act.
It means less representation for millions of Black Americans and other voters of color, as lawmakers gain greater ability to manipulate their districts. There will be more extreme partisan gerrymandering, lopsided elections, less accountable government, and policies that hurt rather than help with everyday life.
But this is no time to be demoralized, because we know it does not have to be this way. We can mobilize around reform, new laws, and where necessary, constitutional amendments for fairer government. Only then can we feel the benefits of a balanced Court, a truly representative Congress, and an election system free from the distorting power of extreme corporate and partisan manipulation.
As our nation wages Donald Trump’s reckless war, DHS is still not funded because the President’s own party is in total chaos.
Instead, Trump decides to focus on a $400 million, taxpayer funded, gold-plated ballroom.
This man’s values are perverse.
@John_Beckham14@politico All of you are so hate filled and ate in a constant state of rage and intolerance. You demand everyone else think exactly like you.
You all dont seem to see that your TDS has become a very real mental illness. None of you has any joy in life. You are a bunch of angry crazies.
Imagine calling Renee Good and Alex Pretti “domestic terrorists” and calling immigrants “animals” then turning around and telling people they need to “tone down their rhetoric.”
Enough is enough. Democrats need to come to their senses & join us in voting to fund DHS.
The Secret Service, who Democrats have refused to fund for months, bravely stopped an attack on our government leaders this weekend. It's time to do the responsible thing and fund @DHSgov.
@Inspiredbylogih@libsoftiktok No the fuck she didn't you demented fuck. She lost her career over a god damn 30 second video that doesn't even explicitly say anything bad.
BREAKING: Cincinnati kindergarten teacher Corinne Baum, has been FIRED following video where she complained that Trump wasn’t assassinated
Another one bites the dust!
@libsoftiktok You seriously got her fired for that video? You're seriously an awful fucking human. That was one of the tamest out there and you're off harassing her job.
You really are the real life Aunt Lydia.
@gazpunch@Moonlight_myths Yeah an then youd be in jail for assault on a minor what exactly have you proven? Hitting someone makenor female is never ok… not for a kid and not for an adult.
@Moonlight_myths Your son has got away lightly, if that is my little girl your boy is picking his teeth up, don't care how old he is, you don't hit my girl / a girl.
He needs to know just how lucky he is, he might still be in trouble if the dad finds out.
I'm a mom to a 13 year old boy, and I'm still in shock over what he did.
He's been seeing a girl from his class for a few months, and yesterday she came to our house. While I was downstairs cooking dinner, I suddenly heard crying and rushed upstairs. I found his girlfriend in tears, covering her face.
When I asked what was wrong, my son said she ruined his video game. Then I asked her what happened, and she said my son had slapped her. I was really upset but knew hitting back wasn't the solution. So, I took the girl to the kitchen to help her calm down. When her mom came to pick her up, I apologized for my son's behavior and suggested they take some time apart for now…
@miselaineous13@Moonlight_myths Geezz lady, hes just a kid. While this situation needs correction, it certianly does not require polce intervention if there is not a continuing threat. Sounds like the parents took care of consequence. Maybe your kids are small or you don’t have anythey need constant guidance
@Moonlight_myths He assaulted another human over a video game.
He should be facing charges.
If I were the girl’s parent, I would have called the police.
@DavidShuster He talks belligerently about Jesus own words on Turning the other cheek when someone else is oppressed is not Christian behavior; it is complicity in the oppressor’s crimes.”
I keep seeing claims from Trump/GOP the alleged gunman took action because of an anti-Christian agenda. He made no such references in his manifesto + his friends say he was active in his Christian church and taught church classes. Evidence of his anti-Christianity, please?
