I've been off social media for two weeks. In that time: ➡️ SCOTUS gutted the Voting Rights Act, 6-3 ➡️ SCOTUS reversed itself in Alabama, greenlighting a map it had previously struck down for diluting Black votes, mid-primary, with ballots already cast ➡️ Tennessee Republicans gerrymandered Memphis into three districts to disenfranchise Black voters ➡️ South Carolina moved to eliminate the state's only Black-held congressional district ➡️ Louisiana suspended an active election mid-vote to redraw maps that disenfranchise Black voters ➡️ Trump had the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool painted resort blue under a no-bid contract ➡️ A 22-foot gold Trump statue was blessed by evangelical leaders at his Doral resort ➡️ The FBI opened a criminal investigation into the reporter who covered Kash Patel's drinking ➡️ Commerce Secretary Lutnick repeatedly contradicted himself before Congress about his Epstein ties ➡️ The Strait of Hormuz is still closed ➡️ Gas is near record highs The country cannot take another three years of this assault on equality, competence, and the rule of law.
