@ashleytheebarroness MIDTERMS NOV. 3 Knowledge is power‼️ ALL HOUSE 435 seats Senate 35 seats & special elections in Fla & Ohio 36 Governor races across the country 100’s State legislative seats, school boards, district attorneys, sheriffs , ballot measures that change Laws

We are here because people didn't fully understand why their votes counted. Why sitting out elections has consequences, and how voting based on excitement is harmful. Now here we are, with not only a conservative Supreme Court, but a Supreme Court hell-bent on taking away progress. Voting Rights Act ensured that Black people had a voice. That we were represented. The Supreme Court has limited it. This does not mean stop voting. It means that we have to register more people to vote, we have to overwhelm the system. #DemsUnited

I’m not interested in complaining about this Supreme Court VRA ruling. I’m interested in action. Republicans will begin a purge of blue seats, so the purge of red seats must begin. Let’s not waste time, blue states. Just draw new maps and show the Republicans what it looks like to use their rules against them. They’ll be begging on all fours for independent redistricting.

AOC says Democrats should respond to SCOTUS weakening the VRA by doing their own redistricting until a national gerrymander ban passes

Historically, the Supreme Court was a place where you went to expand, to include, and to lift up. Now, the Court often turns back the hands of progress. The ruling in Louisiana v. Callais is tragic, but it's not the end of the story. We must not give up, give out, or give in.

Pritzker: The decision by the Supreme Court today on the Voting Rights Act is an abomination. It is an attack on a crown jewel of our democracy. Illinois is the proud home to having sent more black congresspeople to Washington than any other state in the country. The decision that was made today by SCOTUS about the Voting Rights Act is an attack on minorities across this country. We're not going to stand for it in Illinois. We're going to push back. We have options for pushing back. And that is under discussion with the legislature even today. I talked to lawyers this morning, people who are experts in this, who've said that everything that we have in Illinois now is constitutional, even under the new ruling. I'm sure there will be people who try to attack it. But the reality is that if you read through the Supreme Court decision, I'm told that it validates the maps that are already in place. And of course, we'll be looking at a new remap in Illinois in 2031.

The US Supreme Court ruled today that Black votes are worth less than others.

Black people in New Orleans and Baton Rouge will no longer have the representation we’ve had in Congress. This is white supremacy

Slavery in this country lasted 246 years. Jim Crow lasted around 100 years. Our attempt to remedy the impact of those crimes against humanity was met with white terrorism & savagery. The laws we finally got passed to address these harms were relentlessly challenged & lasted only 61 years before they were all finally stripped away. This country has decided that the idea of race can be used to multigenerationally oppress us, but any remedy must be race neutral, which means there can be no remedy. Never again will I vote for a presidential candidate who is unwilling to admit that America—a country that wouldn’t exist without chattel slavery—is a racist nation. That’s the beginning for me, before we even get to policies & legislation.

South Carolina State University students are protesting after the university named Lieutenant Governor Pamela Evette as its spring commencement speaker:

According to this new Supreme Court ruling, total blue states like Colorado can draw an 8-0 blue map, Illinois a 17-0 blue map, and California a 52-0 blue map. Time to respond accordingly to this new conservative threat and give Republicans exactly what they asked for.

Bruh It’s 2026 & Y’all Still F*ckin With Us About Voting!!!!!!! Let That Sink In!!!!!! #Plies

Dem Leader @RepJeffries on the #SCOTUS decision on #Callais v #Louisiana #VotingRights

Yall really fucked us back in 2016. Oh my god.

White people are rolling back civil rights, but calling us divisive for talking about racism

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.

Terrence Ross’ rookie year was 2013 LeBron. He’s now been retired for 3 full seasons, and he’s streaming his reaction to 2026 LeBron still making all-time clutch plays in the NBA playoffs while playing with his son. Just think about that… 🤯

No one is safe lol … iron sharpens iron 💯
