As the new week begins, here is what Democracy Docket is tracking: Active Voting Rights Cases: 161 Active Redistricting Cases: 45 Active Anti-Voting Cases: 80 Active Pro-Voting Cases: 78 Active DOJ Lawsuits: 29 www.democracydocket.com

LOUISIANA: “Those ballots are discarded… if anyone has a grievance, take it to the Supreme Court…” (which we own) Gov. Landry tries to justify declaring a fake emergency to stop an election to strip Black voters of representation. (To protect Trump)

And the Supreme Court cries foul..fuck them all

There is no clearer case for the necessity of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 than how quickly southern states moved to eliminate Black-majority districts and dilute Black power after SCOTUS eroded Section 2. SCOTUS’s reasoning was immediately disproven by reality.

Dear @NFL, please seriously consider revoking the Tennessee Titans team's right to play in the state. Millions of black people are losing their rights of the USA. Same with the New Orleans Saints need to move out of Lousiana for the same reason. Every southern state should lose their teams. ASAP

He means white people.

State attorneys general across the country can intervene to stop this antitrust nightmare. We need to keep up this fight.

Every day, I am amazed by @replamonica.bsky.social’s bravery. Despite facing 17 years in prison for conducting oversight of ICE, she remains committed to protecting the people she serves. I was proud to tell @marieclairemag why I will stay on the frontlines with her.

Who thinks the entire GOP is a terrorist organization?

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Alito flew multiple flags tied to Jan 6 insurrectionists. Thomas just gave a speech on how "progressivism" is destroying the country — plus his wife was involved in the Jan 6 plot. And Roberts has pushed "shadow docket" cases where justices make decisions without explaining themselves. Please.

This is 100% true.

“I live in constant fear that I will be subjected to further baseless detentions just for going about my daily life." On May 2, Leonardo Garcia Venegas, a Florida-born US citizen, was detained by ICE in Alabama for the third time (!) in the span of a year. And he's suing the federal government.

I like FBI Directors with prior experience in law enforcement but WITHOUT their own personalized branded bourbon. #CallMeOldFashoined

Fellow Democrats: we have to wake up and see reality. The Trump regime doesn't play by the rules. They do things "because they can." We knew they would gut voting rights. Louisiana cancelling the election mid-way is a test for November. We need to go on the offensive... 🧵

Name one President anywhere on Earth in the past 100 years who had 4 ass-assination attempts let alone survived them. Fat boy is ineligible as an answer. Go ahead I dare you. I'll wait

For the first time in 80 years, the federal debt-to-GDP ratio is over 100%. In the past, the rich used to pay higher taxes. Now, the government pays the rich interest on a swelling debt, caused largely by lower taxes on the rich. It's a big switcheroo.

Just another late Saturday night writing about courts and democracy. I am doing everything I can to spread the word about how we can fight back. You can help me by subscribing to Democracy Docket for free and sharing its content with everyone you know. Thanks. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

He’s a war criminal… he should be arrested if he ever leaves the US.

Two nights ago, I said Trump had been using our troops as pirates in Iran and a Republican got mad. Well… the president just admitted it. He literally bragged about doing piracy.

Of all the things to say...

In a series of harrowing interviews on Australia’s 60 Minutes, they paint a picture of a desert fortress where even men were subjected to vile sex attacks—while the FBI allegedly sat on tips about bodies buried in the dirt.

required to terminate the use of force within 60 days unless Congress has declared war or authorized military force. The president can extend that period by an additional 30 days to withdraw U.S. forces, but that extension does not grant the White House authority to continue an offensive campaign.

The U.S. war with Iran hit the 60-day mark today (Friday, May 1) a legally significant threshold set by the 1973 War Powers Resolution. The Trump administration formally notified Congress of its military campaign on March 2, triggering the clock that expires today. Under the law, the president is

I was reminded this morning of something IBM noted in 1978: "A computer can never be held accountable. Therefore, a computer must never make a management decision."

Who thinks the United States Supreme Court is corrupt?

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) won an initial round Thursday in his $787 million defamation case over Fox News coverage of a phone call he had with President Donald Trump last year about protests in Los Angeles. At this point, Newsom's fact case is established. It's just a question of damages.

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES 😡

AOC tells PabloReports that the reinstatement of the agent who shot Renee Good is a reminder of why Democrats should not give ICE and CBP a dime. AOC: Every single person that that man encounters is in just as grave danger as she was in.

Today, we honor and remember Virginia Roberts Giuffre on the one-year anniversary of her passing. Her courage has allowed countless survivors to be seen, heard, and to be believed. Sending love to her family on this difficult day—and to all the survivors out there still on this journey for justice.❤️

Karoline Leavitt being interviewed by FoxNews: “There will be shots fired” tonight.

This photo should be on the front page of every single newspaper in America today.

This guy completely falls asleep during his latest all white bro kiss my ass session and it’s nowhere to be seen in the mainstream media. Joe Bien forgot his son’s death anniversary and it was a national moment for an entire week.

The data analysis by Electiontruthalliance.org backs up this assertion. They found hints of malfeasance before 2024,.but didn't pursue it until recently. Now most of their findings show a significant likelyhood of vote manipulation in 2016 and 2020, ontop of the 2024 findings.

They paused Oversight Committee hearings the minute we started getting answers about the Epstein files. Now it’s “roundtables”: no rules, no oaths, no subpoenas. You do the math. Because the moment accountability shows up, they shut it down. The survivors deserve better.
