In the 24 hours since the Supreme Court's majority ruled to demolish the Voting Rights Act's remaining protections, Louisiana and Tennessee have already signaled that they'll redraw their congressional maps with the clear effect of shutting Black voters out.

end the charade and declare that henceforth all congressional seats in the state shall be held by MAGA repukes. I seriously doubt that any courts these days would overturn that.

This is not meant to be sarcasm.

They want to redraw whole districts to keep voting-age Black people from exercising their right to vote. It’s hard even to try to imagine a hatred that strong. (Except maybe for the intensity of ick that I feel for the donald.)

Both for their ruling and their timing. They are inviting even more chaos. They need to be forced into retirement.

Get out there yourself if at all possible.

Get involved.

Show you care.

Join an activist group.

Attend a peaceful protest.

Support candidates who are peaceful and can get something done.

ABOVE ALL: Remain peaceful AT ALL TIMES.
