In April and May, when many took consolation in "We'll slay them in the 2026 midterms!" I wondered, "What makes them so sure there will be elections in 2026?" When you live your whole life as an oppressed minority, you learn to be suspicious of rich, white men and the women who love them.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

Justice JACKSON standing up for voting rights. 🔥

Louisiana: Plaintiffs said 'we want another majority-black district.'

Jackson: No. They said 'we aren't receiving equal electoral opportunity because our votes are being diluted.'

Louisiana: Same thing.

Jackson: No, it’s not.

They're shook. If they did even a little research online they'd find tons of info about purpose, goals, safety teams, mission statements, non-violent pledges.... In essence it's impossible not to catch the peaceful vibe.

A limited understanding of mental illness. And an apparent reluctance to learn about it. So American.

That's the current system but it's flawed.
The current regime wants to dismantle it rather than reform and improve it.

"Funny" as long as the regime doesn't instigate an excuse to hurt and arrest people.

...which is why we're calling it a takeover. They don't want to hold power in a democracy. They want to dismantle democracy. Steve Bannon announced their objective in 2016.

yeah, I thought so. That excerpt sounds like Schumer reporting on djt's mental fog. He doesn't seem surprised to me, just reporting what happened.
We translate the text differently, I guess.
