Good morning from Detroit! #WOC50

Posting these editorial cartoons because they make the strong point of just how nakedly corrupt Trump’s “Weaponization” fund is from start to finish.

Thank you, Harry Dunn! #HarryDunn open.substack.com/pub/harrydun...

Thomas Jefferson envisioned America as a lily white republic that rigorously excluded Black people. Join us next week - online or in person - for a frank discussion of race and racism at the founding of The United States. events.leapevents.com/tickets/anne...

FASCINATING INTERVIEW “Over the past decade, @ecetemelkuran.bsky.social has warned that the erosion of democracy does not happen overnight. To those who believed “it can’t happen here,” she has insisted: it will.” #DeBalie www.youtube.com/live/gNbiI6-...

Thank you Marcie. Never stop fighting.

🚨 Leadership News: Fair and Just Prosecution is thrilled to announce civil rights champion and former Florida State Attorney Aramis Ayala as our new Executive Director! 🧵

Alabama asked the Supreme Court for permission to abandon court-ordered maps and go back to using ones the Court ruled were in violation of the Voting Rights Act, just three years ago, in the wake of Callais. Today, the Supreme Court said yes. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Democracy has always been under attack in our country, @marcelias.bsky.social says. Now is not the time to back down. Now is the time to fight back. “If we give up now, if we just lose hope, then we are doing Donald Trump’s bidding.”

If you’re angry about the gutting of the Voting Rights Act and the state of free and fair elections, you are not alone. @marcelias.bsky.social shares your ire. “Have people not learned that when you do this to Black voters, it turns out bad for democracy for everybody?”

The time is ripe for me to read the work of my friend, Lerita Coleman Brown. As she speaks of Howard Thurman, I hear her voice. It is as though both of them are here on the patio with me. #CloudofWitnesses

Some things never change. THIS IS WHY WE STILL NEED A VOTING RIGHTS ACT.

In dark times we confront dark days with light bringers. We only save multi-racial democracy together. #VotingRights is the pillar of our democracy and racism remains this country’s original & enduring & together we have the power we need! @revjimwallis.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/m...

This administration’s attack on the Southern Poverty Law Center is a persecution, not a prosecution—and that should light a fire in all of us to get active in the fight for our rights! No functioning democracy punishes and silences civil rights advocacy. #StandwithSPLC

The Israeli military illegally attacked a flotilla carrying humanitarian aid for Gaza & abducted at least 175 civilians, including US citizens. This is a violation of international law. I joined Rep. Rashida Tlaib demanding an end to the blockade on Gaza & protection for civilians providing aid.

Weeks before we began 2nd grade in segregated schools, President Johnson signs the Voting Rights Act on 8/5/1965. This week before our 50th anniversary of graduating from a desegregated high school, SCOTUS guts the VRA. Going to reunion in @bittersouth t-shirt was the least I could do. #Classof76

On August 6,1965, four weeks and one day before my seventh birthday, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act. It is not over. The struggle continues. La lucha continua. #VotingRightsAct #SCOTUS
