BREAKING: The Alabama Senate voted to approve a GOP gerrymandering plan designed to strip Black voters of political representation. The vote comes as Alabamians have already begun casting their ballots in the state’s primaries. The bill now heads to Gov. Kay Ivey (R) for a signature.

Congress is still debating reauthorizing Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, a law the government has repeatedly abused to spy on Americans without a warrant. If passed without meaningful reforms, all of our rights are in danger. Congress must vote NO.

The Supreme Court got it wrong today. Their decision to gut Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act will leave Black voters and other voters of color even more vulnerable to attacks on our freedom to vote and be represented fairly. Our fight for our democracy is not over.

All this hysteria that yt ppl are crying out about and watch them CONTINUE voting for this shit as they always do 🤷‍♀️

With its decision in Louisiana v. Callais, SCOTUS turned a blind eye to our history of racial discrimination. It held that considering race *to fix* racially discriminatory maps is itself discrimination—destroying the voting rights the 14+15th amendments were created to protect. What this means 🧵⬇️

🧵1/2 SCOTUS just gutted Black voting power 6-3. Louisiana’s majority-Black districts are gone. Up to 8 House seats could be redrawn before 2026. They’ve been dismantling the Voting Rights Act for 13 years. This is the plan. It’s working. But we can fight back. Don’t lose hope.

The Voting Rights Act is essentially dead and it’s quite possible that we will, like when a similar SCOTUS gutted civil rights at the fall of Reconstruction, see a disappearance of much of the Black congressional representation, especially in the most heavily Black states, which are in the South.

🧵 NEW: SCOTUS struck down Louisiana’s voting map, which created a second majority-Black district. The decision effectively guts Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which prohibits electoral practices that infringe upon people’s ability to vote based on their race.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov @jbpritzker.bsky.social with SC bs decision, you better be drawing up new maps as I type this. Gerrymander the shit out of IL. Fuck these racist ass, DEI hire, dipshit, good for nothing, waste of space and sperm, republicans. GERRYMANDER IL NOW.

NAACP President Derrick Johnson responds to the Supreme Court's decision to gut the Voting Rights Act:

BREAKING: The Supreme Court struck down a Louisiana map that fairly represents Black voters, gutting Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. This devastating attack from the Court majority destroys protections for voters of color across the country.

Republicans just handed the Boundary Waters to a foreign corporation. For the GOP, it’s foreign billionaires first, America last.

Fourteen people have died in ICE custody so far this year. By mid-February, the agency was detaining more than 68,000 immigrants one of the highest totals on record, according to federal data.

The Senate is debating whether to advance an extreme voter suppression bill, the SAVE America Act, that would make it harder for millions of Americans to register to vote. It’s up to us to stop it. Tell your Senators now to vote NO.

Outrageous. Stripping Liam Conejo Ramos and his family of asylum is beyond cruel and indefensible. This decision must be overturned. Shame.

Dylan Lopez Contreras has finally been released and can return home to his family. But ICE never should have taken him or cruelly kept him from his family, school, and community for nearly a year. Students belong in school and at home. We need ICE out of our communities, now.

Unless we want another Joe Manchin or Krysten Sinema in the US Senate (Raja K) we better vote in @julianastratton.bsky.social for US Senate. Pls look at the trash in office right now. Do not fall for the AIPAC, AI and Crypto funded propaganda and ads favoring Raja.

"After being held in isolation for about five days. Rodríguez was forced to strip naked in a shower while an officer "poured some kind of chemical liquid on her head, which seemed to be something used to clean floors and burned her eyes,” the filing read."

If you’re in IL-09, vote for @katmabu.bsky.social and I would also argue our open senate seat is even more critical. Vote @julianastratton.bsky.social who has called for ICE to be abolished. She also supports a $25 federal minimum wage, Medicare for all and endorsed by ‘End Citizens United.’

Make your voice heard, Illinois. Polls are open until 7 PM — make time today to cast your ballot if you haven’t yet. Find your polling place at elections.il.gov.

Make sure you get out to vote TODAY by 7pm. If you need help voting, contact the DPI Voter Protection Hotline at (855) 458-6937 or [email protected].

IL, it’s our primary Election Day! Go out and vote for @julianastratton.bsky.social for Senate!

IF YOU’RE IN ILLINOIS, TUESDAY IS ELECTION DAY! GO OUT AND VOTE FOR JULIANNA STRATTON TO BE YOUR NEXT SENATOR! SHE IS BY FAR THE BEST CANDIDATE AND WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!

BTW shipping was already going to get more expensive due to high fuel prices. Diesel approaching $5/gallon nationwide, up from $3.65 a month ago (via AAA)

Trump found a new way to raise prices. For no apparently reason we're losing 200,000 commercial truck drivers in one fell swoop, thanks to rule barring immigrants who are asylum seekers, refugees or recipients of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, from obtaining commercial licenses

Use our action center to tell Congress to speak out against ICE's detention of Nashville journalist Estefany Rodriguez and any effort to deport her. The administration has repeatedly retaliated against noncitizen journalists and others who criticize its policies.

Estefany Rodríguez of Nashville Noticias was arrested March 4 by ICE in Nashville, Tennessee. The Spanish-language reporter is still being held and has filed a federal suit alleging the arrest violated her constitutional rights and was in retaliation for her reporting.

The SAVE America Act and other extreme anti-voter bills are on the move in Congress and must be stopped. These bills aren't about safeguarding elections — they're about silencing voters. Tell your Senator to oppose these attacks on our democracy.

The SAVE America Act is a danger for democracy, but we still have a chance to defeat it in the Senate. Tell your senators to stop this bill at aclu.org/stop_anti_voter_

BREAKING: The House passed the so-called SAVE America Act which threatens to upend our freedom to vote. The bill could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters by requiring documents like passports or birth certificates to register to vote and forcing voter roll purges. The Senate must reject it.

Republicans have introduced a bill that would disenfranchise millions of women from voting if their married name doesn’t match the name on their birth certificate.

The House will vote next week on one of several extreme anti-voter bills recently introduced in Congress. The so-called SAVE America Act could block over 21 million eligible citizens from voting by forcing in-person citizenship document requirements. Tell your representatives to vote NO.

Children at an ICE family detention facility have been denied clean drinking water, medical care, and legal access. Now they may be exposed to measles. Toddlers don't belong in detention, and Congress must end funding for these sites of abuse.

SC House Bill 4760 seeks to criminalize the use and distribution of mifepristone and misoprostol for abortions. This is a reckless attack on our reproductive rights that will make it harder for all South Carolinians to get healthcare. www.aclusc.org/legislation/...

HUD is proposing rule changes that will make it more difficult to enforce the Fair Housing Act of 1968 and ensure that housing is fair and accessible to all people. We have a chance to stop it.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — A former Illinois deputy has been sentenced to 20 years for fatally shooting Sonya Massey, who called 911 for help.

Video shows ICE leaving behind an infant and broken glass after arresting a man with no criminal history. “There was a car seat in the back... There were broken glass shards all over it... There was just this tiny peanut of a baby. He was crying.” My latest: www.pressherald.com/2026/01/28/i...

Georgia Fort, an independent journalist and vice president of the Minnesota NABJ chapter, was also arrested by federal agents this morning I was sent this video of agents at her door:
