After hours of oral argument last week in Callais v. Louisiana, it’s clear that the Supreme Court is ready to decimate what’s left of the Voting Rights Act, making it much easier for states to get away with racial discrimination in voting.

What we saw on No King's Day, with people on the streets was the tip of the iceberg of people who feel the way those crowds do. For every one who made it to the street, there is a host of others who wish they could have been there.

I think the lib politicians might have a problem if the dsa politicians are dominating the stage at these lib protests. the problem being that the lib representatives suddenly do not look particularly lib

Case in point: the South isn't perfect (no region is), but folks would do well to remember that gerrymandering and voter suppression make our region look redder than it actually is. NY gave us Trump and CA gave us Reagan. Regional politics aren't simple, and writing places off can't be the move rn.
Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.

Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

Organizers say more than 10,000 people have turned out for the No Kings rally at the Atlanta Civic Center in Georgia. The actual number could be closer to 12,000, says Laura Judge with Indivisible North Metro, which is one of the event's organizers. (Photo by @alander.bsky.social)

PHILLY

I stepped out to walk across Philly last night and get a sense of things. City Hall always captures me here, Philadelphia has maintained its European layout and much of its early architecture.

And which drew on a long tradition of Black southern resistance to Jim Crow that I hope people learn more about in the coming decades. The Montgomery Bus Boycott was not a sudden outburst of indignation; it was the fruit of well over a decade of organizing by Rosa Parks, E.D. Nixon and others.
(i think a big part of the difference between the civil rights movement and no kings is that the former was organizing against a system of government that had been in place for 75-forever years and no kings is organizing against a guy who has been president for less than five years)

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.
