Yeah, we'll try. We need more R's to help out and push back. Not optimistic about that. 🤞🏼

If only.
Not sure the dems will ever get back into power if the SC6 decide to rid us of our Voting Rights Act. We'll know soon if we're doomed. All are predicting they'll kill it.

Our, if we get the chance to, vote, won't matter if the SC6 repeals the Voting Rights Act. They're deciding now. R's will get 19 more seats in the House and will rule for decades. So don't worry about voting. We may get a Civil War instead. Who will put up with that crap?

But, nothing will matter if the SC6 decide to totally eliminate, repeal, kill, the Voting Rights Act. of 60 years. Nothing will matter for decades. So there's that. 🤷🏼‍♀️ The cheating lying repubs win & TFG can stay as long as they let him. We'll have ZERO freedoms. No voting of course.

Thanks for being out there and speaking up. Going on more shows. We need more dems to do that.

This is some of the best political news I've seen in a very long time.

There's a clear a way to end the Citizens United precedent by changing state incorporation laws - and now luminaries in both parties are forcing a vote on it in the 2026 election.

We need the SCOTUS to keep the last of the Voting Rights Act.

The only way. Tell the Law Firms. Universities. Techies. Media. Businesses. Don't capitulate. Don't bend the knee. Don't give in. Don't pay. Be stronger than the strongman. He's weak.
