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.

@catturd2 100% you're a fucking moron. If they are indicting the SPLC for using "paid informants" well the FBI needs indicted. This is just the administration grasping at straws if a failed attempt to save midterms. STFU Cuckturd

Remember when Obama Stopped Iran from acquiring a NUKE without killing 100+ school children, skyrocketing oil prices, getting hundreds of Americans injured or killed, or dropping a single bomb?

My reaction to Stranger Things season 2 finale got blocked and a copyright STRIKE against the channel - that’s why it’s no longer available! I’m working on getting it fixed and back up as soon as possible.

Trump just called Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson “low IQ.”
Let’s be clear: She graduated magna cum laude from Harvard & earned a law degree.
She’s one of the most qualified legal minds in the country.
Trump? He insults accomplished Black women because he can’t match them.

America misses him more than ever.
Do You Agree 👍..?

Hillary Clinton beat Trump by nearly 3M votes, but because of the fucking electoral college Trump won. Scrap the damn electoral college - because every vote should carry the same weight.

@catturd2 Just like Swalwell, if there is credible evidence, he will be gone. You dumb MFers on the other hand put rapists and pedophiles in the Oval Office.

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna has referred Sen. RUBEN GALLEGO (D-AZ) to Ethics in the Senate due to troubling allegations And there is purportedly a WOMAN coming forward. Gallego was a VERY close friend of Eric Swalwell. "There is a woman that allegedly is coming forward with attorneys, wants to go on record about an incident that occurred between the two of them at the same time, and the event with s*xual nature, allegedly." "I have confirmed with Senator John Thune's chief of staff, as well as they're linking us to their ethics that they are investigating, and we are sending all appropriate information directly to them now." "That's not just that. There's also two apparently issues of campaign finance violations." "Again, look, I am one member of Congress, but I'm not going to be like some of my colleagues that waited forever in a day to bring this information forward. I think that if this is happening, that it needs to be dealt with!" Thank you @RepLuna!
