Generation after generation, we have shouldered this country's moral burden, nursed its conscience, and carried its dreams of equality forward – all while being denied the freedoms we helped secure for others. Zora Neale Hurston saw this truth with unflinching clarity. (Courtney Bowden)🧵

The VRA is on the line! Louisiana v. Callais is about more than just maps. It is about the future of our multi-racial democracy. Here’s what YOU can do to help us spread the word ahead of 10/15.

The Supreme Court will rehear Louisiana v. Callais on Oct 15—a case that could reshape voting rights nationwide. At stake is Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, the core protection that stops racial discrimination in redistricting. If it falls, one party could control Congress for a generation. 🧵

What does it cost to make history? Sleepless nights. Endless miles. Countless conversations, threats - and sometimes, everything you've got. Love, Joy, & Power: Tools for Liberation is a powerful documentary that captures the highs and lows of organizing in 2020.

This term, the Supreme Court could pave the way for states to oust 19 Black and Brown members of Congressmen by demolishing the Voting Rights Act in Louisiana v. Callais

Which would cripple minority representation at the federal level

And gerrymander up to 27 districts for Republicans in total

Collins Watch @collinswatch.bsky.social · 21h

Susan Collins and her allies (Newsmax donated to her super PAC last cycle) are trying to find a way to plausibly argue that, when the shutdown ends, she was the one who "solved" it.

They pulled the same ploy in 2013. Got debunked (tinyurl.com/2f7kd9fu) but too many outlets played along. #MEpolitics

Donald Trump is breaching the Constitution and breaking the law.

A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections.

We need to stand up together and speak up.
