@kenmartin73 We are getting tired of the Democratic party being sooo ineffective. Most of us want very progressive candidates who will reshape all institutions IF we EVER get in a position of power again. Which is highly unlikely unless BOLD action is taken.

NEW: After the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act, legal scholars and pro-voting advocates are demanding reforms to the Court to preserve free and fair elections. “Either Democrats are going to fundamentally remake this institution or they are co-signing autocracy,” one law professor wrote. democracydocket.com/news-alerts/su…

The contract for the White House ballroom explicitly prohibits foreign donors from giving to the project. So why did they accept $37 million worth of steel from a Luxembourg steel company? cbsnews.com/news/trump-eas…

I can't think of a better indictment of the Republican party and the con they've played on working class people than their go-to idea for addressing affordability is a capital gains tax cut bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

In case anyone isn’t aware, Trump is demanding Zambia to hand over its mineral rights by end of day tomorrow or the U.S. gov’t will cut off the country’s access to the AIDS medications that are literally keeping its citizens alive. Just thought y’all should know.

Ossoff just *gets it*

The US midterms are the equivalent of a lifebuoy; you are still at risk of drowning but stand a better chance. If you blow it or they manage to steal it again, then you could be facing decades of dictatorship thereafter. Whatever you are doing, double or triple it. It’s pivotal.

New York, let's get organized. In a city of over 8 million, just 400 people showed up to speak at the last Rent Guidelines Board hearing — where decisions about rents are made. We can do better. If we want a city that works for tenants and landlords alike, we need New Yorkers to show up and make their voices heard. The next hearings are this June. Visit ORGANIZE.NYC.GOV to get involved.

Passed in 1965 with overwhelming bipartisan support, and re-authorized repeatedly, the Voting Rights Act has long and widely been regarded as one of the signal achievements in US political history. Now, an activist conservative super-majority of Court has taken it down with a brutal 1-2 attack.

So of course this SCOTUS destroyed the Voting Rights Act as expected but too late for much of their intended evisceration of minority districts this cycle. What we do now is OVERWHELMING TURNOUT for November. SLAUGHTER them at the ballot box. Get every single seat we can.

Reforming the Supreme Court has to be championed by the next Democratic leader. If they're unwilling to say it & do it, then they aren't made for this moment. The 6 corrupt judges won't stop until they undo the progress made in the past 75 years on their way to creating their Christian Kingdom.

With today’s decision, the Supreme Court has completed its project of dismantling the Voting Rights Act. I shared analysis on @MS.NOW. ms.now/ana-cabrera-re…

The Supreme Court is broken. They will continue to dismantle our democracy because that's what they've been groomed to do for decades. Right-wing billionaires have purchased 6 of the 9 Justices. They don't fear any consequences or repercussions for their actions.

Today’s Supreme Court decision in Louisiana vs. Callais is a direct attack on Black voters and marks a shameful moment in our democracy. This ruling opens the door to racial gerrymandering that will take us back to Jim Crow. This ruling is a betrayal of Black voters and the promise of democracy. We will not stay silent. naacp.org/articles/naacp…

This is the best political ad I’ve ever seen.

@BrennanCenter @EJDionne And it has made it clear that we need to reform it. We need to have a Supreme Court that can be trusted.

The Roberts Court has made American democracy much worse today. Congress has an urgent obligation to act. 2/2

BREAKING: The Supreme Court has completed its decades-long project to destroy the Voting Rights Act. It has blessed racial discrimination and further encouraged partisan gerrymandering in the Callais ruling. 1/2

I woke up yesterday and realized I have TEN years of footage documenting the rise of MAGA in America. So I'm starting a new project. Nazification (German: Gleichschaltung or "coordination") was the process (1933–1934) by which the Nazi Party established totalitarian control over all aspects of German society, transforming the Weimar democracy into a one-party dictatorship. It involved eradicating political opposition, controlling media, education, the economy, and aligning cultural/civic life with Nazi ideology. I will ask for your help at some point.

Dems running for Congress and POTUS must run on Supreme Court reform. A law forcing justices into senior status after 18 years, applicable to the current bench would do the trick. That would force Roberts, Alito, and Thomas into senior status, opening three seats to be filled immediately. Biden proposed this idea, and Harris endorsed it, too. Congress would have to pass the law, though, so candidates for Congress should be pushing this as well. Here's more info: abovethelaw.com/2023/07/dont-f…
