SCOTUS: White people have the constitutional right to be represented by a neo-Confederate, neo-fascist Republican in the halls of Congress, and Black people and other minorities have no right to equal representation.

Anyone else besides Republicans struggling to keep swastikas and Nazi flags from accidentally magically appearing in their offices, on their lapels, car bumpers, and/or flag poles at home?

Anyone?

Whoa‼️ Dems could lose 19 seats due to GOP gerrymandering.

CA, UT & MD can’t fight fire with fire alone. Other blue states must step up, and every Democrat needs to vote. Don’t sit out any election.

Push your governors and legislators to act. Tell friends and family to vote. Help them. #YesOnProp50

This was always the plan.

That’s why Black Folks begged people to pay attention to voting rights.

Understand.

This country is on track to make sure Black people can never vote or be represented again. It’s happening.

Voting Rights is the root of EVERYTHING. Voting rights are about to END.

I know there’s a lot going on. But without Voting Rights… this country ENDS.

Every time a Democrat gets caught on tape saying like “Some Trump voters are racist” we have a national scandal and JD Vance demands an entirely new kind of apology and meanwhile every Republican group chat is like “Good morning fellow SS members. Who’s ready to respect Hitler today?”

If you have the means and the ability, I would like to strongly suggest that you donate to Meals on Wheels, and your local food bank(s) right now, and for Thanksgiving, and in lieu of buying shit you don't need and others don't want for Christmas.

Please consider, if you are able.

Title X is a program that helps women get things like birth control & cancer screenings.

It was established under RICHARD NIXON. The decision to essentially abolish this office has nothing to do with the shutdown.

This is just another attack on women's basic health care.

Hey Mike Johnson – the more you facilitate a cover-up and do everything in your power to prevent the release of the Epstein files – the more your constituents, the American public, and the whole world are going to believe you are guilty of the exact same types of crimes as Jeffrey Epstein.
