1/ At long last, can we all stop pretending that Alito, Thomas, Barrett, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh are legitimate jurists? They are politicians who were effectively “appointed” to the Court by the Federalist Society, which has turned the Supreme Court into an unaccountable super-legislature.

Their mission is to repeal and replace the 20th Century—to destroy the guardrails protecting Americans from civil rights violations and corporate predations. #Immunity

Black voter participation soared after the VRA passed in 1965.

But not until 1992, after Congress strengthened the VRA to require majority-minority districts, did we approach proportional Black representation in Congress.

Because Black votes finally counted more in the South.

RIP VRA, 1965-2026.

John Roberts’s life's work has been dismantling what these civil rights leaders gave their lives to build.

And if the public doesn't like that, as he told us in 2009, that's "just too bad."

Reminder that without Section 2 of the VRA, Republicans could create as many as 19 new safe GOP House seats: blackvotersmatterfund.org/wp-content/upl…

And could eliminate as many as 191 state legislative seats currently held by Democrats (most in majority-Black districts) blackvotersmatterfund.org/wp-content/upl…

Majorities of Democrats and independents think SCOTUS killing VRA means it's likely that maps will be redrawn "at the direct expense of minority voters," and that Republicans will make it "very difficult for Democrats to ever hold a majority in Congress."
