My New One at MSNBC Opinion on How the Supreme Court Seems Poised to Kill Off What Remains of the Voting Rights Act While Few Pay Attention–With Implications for 2026 Redistricting www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb... @msnbc.com

How the Supreme Court could aid the GOP's redistricting games

If the court rules quickly enough in a key voting rights case, it could allow yet another round of partisan redistricting before the 2026 midterms.

Toldya. He was seeing if he could get away with bombing Venezuelans, and now he's going to go after Americans.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

CHICAGO Mayor Brandon Johnson on Trump calling for him to be jailed: “This president is unstable, unhinged, a threat to our democracy.”

Look I’m sorry voters didn’t give a fuck. But the answer Ezra is suggesting is basically telling the black community and every other minority “your rights, protections, liberties, livelihoods, are all optional if it doesn’t produce a win for me-I mean dems”

Look I don't know your race. But I'm black so the shit this administration is doing ain't new. Black folks in totality told everyone this could happen and voters didn't give a fuck. I'm seeing Dems holding the line, standing ten toes down on the Healthcare which is great. I can work with that.

So all those protests and people fighting mean nothing? Like people and children being dragged outta their homes isn’t sitting in people’s brains? I mean for some sure I guess. Also different interpretations means they want someone to stand in his way and stand proudly not bipartisan.

Them polls over the last few months mean shit honestly. These are the same polls where same time last year, Trump looked underwater and yet he won. Do I believe folks want Dems to fight? Sure 100% but I have trepidation because people have different interpretations of fighting.

Al Po @pushpst28.bsky.social · 6h

Look at the polls the last few months, Who will fight facism? And if you’re gonna throw at me primary polls right now save it, too early for that. And if certain Klenies feel attacked, ok. Facism is real, nobody deserves to be thrown away, and if you don’t believe either you aren’t a good person.

Buddy if that was the case, they would've voted for Kamala overwhelmingly over Trump and didn't. We got the numbers to prove it.

Al Po @pushpst28.bsky.social · 6h

Really because by polling standards more and more dem base voters hate Kleins way of thinking. They want fighters who stand up to facists and not throw anyone under the bus. And I’m saying if the “base” is like Klein, which I doubt every day, then so many will be destroyed.

Never said it was a good thing. This is just something that Democrats have to unfortunately contend with regarding the voter base.

Al Po @pushpst28.bsky.social · 9h

And that’s a good thing? Like seriously? If my neighbor tells me they think like Klein and I must be nice to them, I’m going to ask them straightforwardly, “who is worth sacrificing to you” and if they wanna scream “that’s not fair!” Tough shit. Truth hurts.

It tickles me that Zohran Mamdani has been virtually on every platform except for NYT’s. That virtual dance around Ezra Klein has gone on for a while!

Al Po @pushpst28.bsky.social · 9h

Great how facism was more welcomed than trans rights. I hope you see what you are saying.

Al Po @pushpst28.bsky.social · 9h

And Trump did facist rhetoric. If your saying people responded positively to that then this country deserves it gate.

Don’t forget arresting and prosecuting corrupt politicians in this regime. And every Trump crime (past and present) over the last 10 years. If maga calls for civil war, IDGAF

The damage is done. They got what they wanted.

Al Po @pushpst28.bsky.social · 12h

How long? Who will actually face accountability for crimes? Who will be sacrificed? And most importantly, what’s to stop this cycle from repeating? We had civil rights and now we don’t and it’ll take another 60 years. I understand always fighting for what’s right, but this is….idk.

Al Po @pushpst28.bsky.social · 15h

…….this country will never recover then.

Al Po @pushpst28.bsky.social · 1d

If it take someone over 20 years (or what feels like 20years) to grow from something it doesn’t really inspire a sense of hope for the future.

Al Po @pushpst28.bsky.social · 1d

Those people, VOTERS, who choose this over some stupid grievance politics, but no everyone is a good person deep down so nobody must be made to reflect on their actions.

Al Po @pushpst28.bsky.social · 1d

And also there is a limit between “allowing someone to make up for mistakes” and being honest about “this person has stood by and done nothing for too long”.

Al Po @pushpst28.bsky.social · 1d

I don’t. Still scared for my friends, still seeing facism in the streets/on verge of martial law. But no politics doesn’t work like that, it takes time and years and 10000’s of lives lost or destroyed. But no no our ACCRUATE fear and ACCURATE hunger for justice is not “politically expedient” enough.

Al Po @pushpst28.bsky.social · 1d

Hell no to Shapiro. Hell no.

if Ezra Klein is the kind of white liberal the rest of us are supposed to be counting on for our collective liberation, we’re cooked.

I know a lot has been said and written about the Klein-Ta-Nehisi Coates sitdown, but I hope you’ll make time for my latest -

We can't compromise with people who want to take our liberties

Yeah except more and more dems want policies advocated for by people like mandani and AOC and BERNIE. Newsom is throwing lives away left and right, and nobody else is a real contender.
