1/ If you’re wondering why the 253 voter suppression bills, it’s because in 2013 SCOTUS struck down the heart of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes…

2/ In her dissent, Ruth Bader Ginsburg said they had built a strong umbrella in 1965 but now we’re poking holes in it. She predicted it would start to rain again. And she was right, of course...

This is completely insane: Georgia Dem rep @Cannonfor58 was arrested for trying to watch Brian Kemp sign new voter suppression bill. Look at how she is treated by police. Jim Crow 2021! Nothing more dangerous than a Black Woman with a voice? Where is the news media on this?

States passing hundreds of voter suppression laws across the country are effectively DARING President Biden to stop them! I have no faith that he will, but he COULD! Lincoln ignored proslavery SCOTUS rulings. Biden must ignore SCOTUS repeal of Voting Rights Act and ENFORCE it!

I'm really surprised with how important we've recognized on the left the it is to defeat Citizens United, just how rarely Shelby County v Holder comes up. That case may be the only ruling to ever to functionally declare an Amendment to the Constitution... unconstitutional.

People relaxed when @JoeBiden took office, but there is a war coming. Mark my words.

It should be against the law to make racist laws.
