Subtlety is dead!

We are working every day to preserve the checks and balances that prevent any one branch of government — or any one individual — from becoming too powerful.

The core issue at the root of Louisiana v. Callais is the continued use of the map drawing process to racially discriminate against particular groups of voters, and the need for legal pathways to challenge and stop these efforts.

TODAY: The Supreme Court is hearing arguments in a case that has the potential to further erode the Voting Rights Act and harm voters across the country, especially voters of color. Here's how we got here and what's at stake in Louisiana v. Callais.

I've seen some people (ahem) framing the implications of today's arguments as being bad for Dems in Congress. That's an impoverished reading and a tactical error. Section 2 upholds multiracial democracy is ways that extend so far beyond partisan fighting in DC

On behalf of Missouri voters, Campaign Legal Center and our partners at @aclu.org Voting Rights Project and @aclumo.bsky.social are stepping in to protect voters’ right to fair districts and a meaningful say on which elected officials represent them and the issues that matter to their community. 2/

BREAKING: We’re suing to block Missouri’s new gerrymandered congressional map that was illegally enacted mid-decade after a push from President Trump. The map splits up the Kansas City area and separates closely united communities, in clear violation of the state constitution. 1/

Policy choices lead to real world outcomes. We don’t have to live like this.

Political violence disproportionately hurts people with less power, not people with more power. Political violence will disproportionately hurt people of color and women and LGBTQ people. It’s not fair, but that’s the way it works. Celebrating political violence means at best indifference to that.

It is incredibly simple to acknowledge that violence in any form is awful and erodes society.

Beyond the sheer bad legal reading of all of this, the use of "speaks Spanish" in Los Angeles to demand papers is insane. Los Angeles County is more than 40% Latino.

I can't let this go by without pointing out that immigration officers have actually arrested and deported US citizens, even where they have shown ID

Considering race as one of several factors when remedying historical discrimination in voting, education, and hiring = unconstitutional, un-American, unacceptable But using race as the sole factor to profile, detain, and deport someone = totally fine and cool, actually

Plain and simple.

State and local election administration may be the last line of defense against full on authoritarianism. Our team at @campaignlegal.org will continue to fight for free and fair elections and a transparent, inclusive, and representative government.

Reading an article titled "Why didn't Brazilian democracy die?" and a key part of the story is a Supreme Court that actually did its job

Listen to @markgaber.bsky.social!

Just in case you hear otherwise, here's a reminder that vote-by-mail is a safe, secure and accessible way that millions of Americans participate in our democracy. Any efforts to eliminate this voting method would silence Americans by restricting access to the ballot.

BREAKING: We're calling on Congress to end President Trump’s troubling abuse of executive power in D.C. These actions are only possible because of the disenfranchisement of the 700k+ residents who lack control over their governance. Congress must act now.

Executive orders are not laws. The president has no legal authority to regulate elections. Everything in this unhinged rant is a lie.

Minority Report (Steven Spielberg, 2002)

If there was any doubt, here we have confirmation that the lies about the 2020 election are being spread as part of a Russian operation, directly by the Russian President. And it’s sadly a successful op, despite ZERO evidence of election fraud presented to any court in any case in nearly 5 years.

So much in the world is bad, but that Miami bomber jacket is so good

New from @campaignlegal.org: we are calling on Congress to end President Trump's unprecedented military takeover of DC and finally grant the District's 700,000 residents the sovereignty and representation we deserve. campaignlegal.org/sites/defaul...

The worst single-day crime spree in modern Washington history, of course, took place on Jan. 6, 2021. Trump issued no order to the National Guard to intervene -- Mike Pence did -- and later pardoned the perpetrators.

Washington DC has 702,000 people, is 45% Black and has 0 senators Wyoming has 590,000 people, is 86% white and has 2 senators DC needs a state with proper representation, not a military takeover

Voters should choose their politicians, not the other way around. Thank you @hankgreen.bsky.social for highlighting Campaign Legal Center as one of the groups fighting in courts against gerrymandered maps and advocating for long-term solutions to end the practice! youtu.be/YVdQjqUXuDc?...

World War II pro-American propaganda.

Just from a logistical standpoint it is not feasible to conduct a "new" mid-decade census with accuracy. To give a sense of the scale of what is required, preparations are already underway for the *2030* census. This will add chaos to the Census Bureau and degrade the accuracy of the 2030 census

This is blatantly unconstitutional. The Census is constitutionally mandated to take place every 10 years and count the "whole number of persons in each state"

We applaud the senators who advanced a bipartisan bill to ban members of Congress, POTUS and the VP from trading stock while in office. Americans deserve to know their leaders are acting in the public's best interest, not to make themselves richer.

Amid the recent wave of anti-voter efforts by President Trump and state lawmakers, it is crucial that Congress pass the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, along with many of the bills in the voting rights package just introduced by @repnikema.bsky.social.

On this day in 1965, the Voting Rights Act was signed into law—a landmark civil rights law that aimed to ban racial discrimination in voting. But 60 years later, the VRA has been seriously weakened and is under attack. Congress must protect the freedom to vote and restore the Voting Rights Act.

the USA built a system of higher education so good that smart/rich people from across the world came here, spending billions to learn here, subsidizing education for Americans while spending money to live in our cities and towns. our government arbitrarily decided we should stop doing that

🚨BREAKING: The Supreme Court keeps in place hard-won representation for Native voters in North Dakota. The ruling also protects the rights of voters in 7 states to challenge discriminatory voting laws and maps under the Voting Rights Act. 1/

i’m not seeing here in the constitution where it says every single day must be insane

@campaignlegal.org and @nativerights.bsky.social are proud to defend the rights of Native voters to fair maps and preserve the protections of the Voting Rights Act for all voters in the 8th Circuit.

BREAKING: On behalf of Native voters in North Dakota, we plan to take the fight for fair voting maps to the U.S. Supreme Court. The 8th Circuit's decision to strip voters in 7 states of fair representation is dangerous, and we will fight to reverse it.

The Supreme Court today has effectively expanded the power of the presidency at a time when we, as a nation, are veering dangerously close to authoritarianism. Read Campaign Legal Center president @thetrevorpotter.bsky.social's full statement: campaignlegal.org/press-releas...

"The Court’s decision to permit the Executive to violate the Constitution with respect to anyone who has not yet sued is an existential threat to the rule of law." - U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson

Justice Sotomayor is right - this decision isn’t about “universal injunctions,” it’s about undermining our entire system of rights and laws. Today, the SCOTUS majority (once again) abandons the judiciary’s responsibility to ensure the other branches follow the law and the constitution.

I want to reiterate that countless conservative judges issued universal injunctions against the Biden administration, and the Supreme Court never halted the practice. Now, barely five months into Trump's second term, the court puts an end to these injunctions. A brazen double standard.
