@lizzybetsdad @nhannahjones @daveweigel does someone need a hug...?

@toddavenarius @nhannahjones @daveweigel No, there isn’t, and only a vile, shit-eating racist would claim there is.

@katieporterca Thank GOD you have zero chance now of being governor. #potatoporter. GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY SHOT!

Californians can trust me because I am not for sale—not at any price.

@krassenstein This isn’t the flex you think it is …Twatwaffle

8647. I mean it in the same way James Comey did.

@staceyabrams Louisiana and Virginia were explicitly drawing districts with race as the predominant factor — packing voters by skin color to create majority-minority seats under a distorted reading of the VRA. The Supreme Court just ruled that unconstitutional racial gerrymandering.

Today’s cruel ruling on Louisiana v. Callais guts what was left of the Voting Rights Act and sets us farther on the path to authoritarianism — aided and abetted by the Supreme Court.

The Voting Rights Act ended 150 years of Jim Crow and finally gave truth to the 15th Amendment. In a democracy, the faith of the people is born of a belief that they can participate in its processes and benefit from its success.

@RBReich Today’s ruling simply rejects the activist expansion that turned an anti-discrimination law into a racial quota system for congressional districts.

Shame on the Supreme Court for what it did today. robertreich.substack.com/p/the-supreme-…

@Sen_Alsobrooks They didn’t “limit” the Voting Rights Act — they finally enforced it as it was originally written and intended.The 1965 VRA was designed to stop racial discrimination at the ballot box, not to mandate racial gerrymandering or guarantee proportional representation by race.

John Lewis was beaten with clubs wrapped in barbed wire on the Edmund Pettus Bridge fighting for voting rights. Today’s SCOTUS decision takes the sacrifice and fight of all who marched before us and throws it away. We must keep marching — too many have fought too hard to give up.

@nhannahjones @daveweigel Biden openly pledged he'd only nominate a Black woman for the Supreme Court — explicitly excluding every man and every non-Black woman from consideration. That’s textbook race and sex discrimination. There IS a strong argument it violates the Constitution and federal law.

@daveweigel You can’t be serious.

Damnit... I missed @AlinaHabba being on @TheView .. I didn't know she was going to be on.. from what I can see she was thrown to the she-wolves, but performed like a Siberian Tiger... Sunny and @JoyVBehar were NO MATCH

@SenAdamSchiff keep 'gaslying' - The Court correctly struck down Louisiana's race-based congressional map BECAUSE IS WAS unconstitutional racial gerrymandering

Today's Supreme Court decision essentially guts the last remaining tool of the Voting Rights Act used to prevent racial gerrymanders. Republicans across the country can now redraw congressional maps to even further disenfranchise communities of color. Yet another partisan and destructive decision.

@KamalaHarris Forcing states to draw districts primarily by racial headcounts—packing or cracking voters to engineer "majority-minority" seats—violates the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment and the color-blind principles at the heart of the 15th Amendment

@KamalaHarris stop gaslying - The Court correctly struck down Louisiana's race-based congressional map as an unconstitutional racial gerrymander.

Today’s Supreme Court ruling guts the Voting Rights Act and turns back the clock on the foundational promise of equality and fairness in our election systems. Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act was one of the last remaining federal protections for Black and brown voters against maps deliberately drawn to dilute their political power. That protection has been stripped away. It is an outrage. But it is not a surprise. It is part of an agenda that conservatives set in place decades ago to steal power from everyday people and then cling to that power for generations. The court’s decision is motivated by politics and designed to give an upper hand to Donald Trump’s Republican Party, which faces the threat of losing the upcoming midterm elections. We must pay attention to what happens next. The fight now returns to the states. Legislatures — particularly those in the South — will rush to redraw districts before voting for the midterms begins in just a few months. Already, Louisiana and Florida are planning to redraw their maps, and we should not be surprised if others rapidly follow suit ahead of the midterms and 2028. Their politically-motivated power grab is meant to protect elected Republicans from any consequences for their failure to make groceries, gas, health care, or housing more affordable for you and your family. They want to cheat and choose their voters, instead of the voters deciding who they choose. The mission before us is to restore the power of the people. There is no question our fight became harder today, but I know we are up for the battle.

@LindseyGrahamSC @KatieBrittforAL and @Eric_Schmitt while I understand and appreciate your motives, PLEASE PLEASE stick with @POTUS original plan for the ballroom to be funded SOLELY by privarte funding...

@JenSiebelNewsom we're a Democratic REPUBLIC...and, we have a constitution.. I know that always confuses you lefties, and you seem to feel the Constitution is a document to be interpreted according to your narrative.. but, 'it says what says and doesn't say what it doesn't say'

The very foundation of the United States is our commitment to democracy. Today, the current Supreme Court majority voted against that, ultimately saying that some voters matter more than others. California will continue to fight for our democracy, for the American people, and the values of the Voting Rights Act.

@Tim_Walz is one of the biggest liars, cowards and discraces in politics... that it..thats the 'tweet' as they say

@BarackObama keep going to your strength.. fomenting racism...and dividing America... this all started WITH YOU... maybe take a minute to do what nearly EVERY former POTUS has done.. and ride off inot the sunset...afterall, you're now a multi-millionaire as you continue to fleece your flock

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.

@XavierBecerra you BLATANTLY lied last night when talking about your 'A' rating for #GovernorCuckhold.. you ABSOLUTELY gave him an 'A' on homeless... so, your A rating for you now stands for A$$HOLE!

@RepJeffries That damn constitution, huh? keeps derailing you cheating leftist assh*les...

Voter suppression is a way of life for Donald Trump and far right extremists on the Supreme Court. Republicans know they cannot win a free and fair election in November and so they are desperate to rig it. We will never let them succeed.

With this shameful ruling, the Supreme Court is once again complicit in Republicans' assault on our democracy & Black political power. This decision will disenfranchise millions of people, further weaken the Voting Rights Act, & embolden racial discrimination in our elections.

@MilesTaylorUSA you should go back to food service....

They’re charging James Comey for posting “8647” on his Instagram, saying it’s a threat. Do you know how stupid this is? I worked in food service. When we “86’d” someone, that meant “throw them out.” Not KILL the customer.
