Yesterday SCOTUS gutted enforcement of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. There’s a lot to unpack. Here with @repscfigures.bsky.social of AL-02 to talk about what it means, especially in the South, and what comes next ⬇️

The federal government has no authority to choose what we get to watch on TV and what comedians get to say. The FCC targeted ABC just one day after President Trump called yet again for Jimmy Kimmel's show to be cancelled. Congress must take action and protect the freedom of the press.

Leaders of the civil rights movement put their lives on the line to secure the passage of the Voting Rights Act. For generations now, it's been a critical protection for voters of color, especially Black voters, to have our voices heard in our democracy.

Black voters deserve to have a seat at the table.

The Worst Ruling in a Century (is an understatement) #Sad politicalwire.com/2026/04/29/t...

The idea that Trump could be worse after the midterms seems very very very possible

Feels like reality is setting in that there's been no oil getting through the strait of Hormuz for 2 months and countries are literally going to run out. Europe is on the verge of being out of jet fuel. Meanwhile, the stock market is st all time highs. None of it makes any sense.

Pete Hegseth rarely faces tough public questioning. He's curated a thinned-out Pentagon press corps So... I'd watch closely when he's questioned today by Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) JUST FILED ====> open.substack.com/pub/macfarla...

Well they are giving the service people scraps to eat while they chow down on crab legs so I’m pretty sure the motivation level of the military is not where it needs to be:

More confirmation that you can associate greed with stupidity without trying very hard.

My plan is waste as little energy as possible, which means no longer getting pissed off at the stupid, unfair and racist shit imparted on us by piece of shit ruling class white people and their fucked up white religious zealot friends.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

For the race of people that are so superior, you need a lot cheats to maintain said superiority.

This ain’t the 1800s or the 1950s. IYKYK

Yup. The Master Race was beaten by a diverse allies... So Alfa MAGA males even with all the special privileges you think you're owed, you remain ignorant losers conned by someone as stupid as Drumpf...

Reminder that any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.

I have spent my entire career listening to FedSoc types complain about liberal “activist judges” who “legislate from the bench,” and none of them are going to say a single blessed thing about Sam Alito rewriting the Voting Rights Act to say what he thinks Congress ought to have said

Need some ketchup with those fries? 🍟

Oops, somebody spilled their french fries. I hope they don't get indicted.

Good morning 😃

No matter what the Supreme Court does, we will continue fighting to protect the voting rights of every Californian.

⚡️Pentagon releases $400 million military aid package for Ukraine. The Pentagon has released a $400 million military aid package for Ukraine after months of delays and mounting pressure from U.S. lawmakers, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed on April 29.

Citizens United, Roe, Presidential Immunity, the Voting Rights Act. The Roberts court will live in infamy. History will not be kind. Take a page from Hungary America, use your vote while you still have it. #Sheshed

The decision made today by the Supreme Court’s conservative majority was dishonest and shameful. I want to share some thoughts on what it means — and how we move forward. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/dEoGa06v1Xw

A reminder that both Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris literally warned everyone that SCOTUS was on the ballot. They were right yet again.

Racism is over says the Supreme Court, which you can tell because it took literally a matter of minutes after they gutted the Voting Rights Act for Republicans in the South to start moving to make sure Black people in their states get no representation in Congress

John Lewis (1940-2020), member of the House of Representatives (1987-2020; Georgia), was beaten by state troopers in Selma, Alabama on Bloody Sunday in 1965, during a peaceful march for voting rights and civil rights.

Absolutely! Two can play at this game.

Hey, FANTASTIC news I missed: trump LOST his court appeal against E. Jean Carroll earlier today! Pay up, you dirty perv! 💥

This is not an exaggeration. Alex Jones is allegedly bankrupt but has an infinite well of dark money to pay lawyers, sell pills, and harangue judges and the parents of dead kids. This stay must be lifted so we can take over, and I hope journalists look into where he's getting and stowing his money.

A black girl born today will have fewer reproductive and voting rights than her grandmother.

I worked mob cases across all five families. I transcribed wiretaps from payphones. Not once did anyone say “86” when they meant kill.
