It's 1877 again. The Gilded Age is in full flower. Jim Crow 2.0 is being built before our very eyes. Democracy could be destroyed for many decades, and not for the first time. Only our dedicated opposition can slow it down. www.vox.com/politics/464...

It sure looks like the Voting Rights Act is doomed

The Republican justices hunt for a reason to gut America’s most successful civil rights law.

It’s something to have a president who’d rather start wars, send troops into American cities, commit outrage after outrage against minorities, create gulags on American soil, dismantle a proud democracy, terrorize peaceful communities, and create international havoc, instead of releasing the files.

Right. I’m just saying that’s who these billionaires think will clean up after them.

If we don’t stop these maniacs, maybe that *is* who’ll wipe their butts & wash their dishes. 🤷🏻‍♀️ But plebes still won’t have HC or a roof over their heads. Maybe their feudal lords will let them sleep in sheds.

Hakeem Jeffries posted pictures of two Rep. Members posing with “Young Republicans” who were part of a racist text thread (as reported by Politico).

In response, Mike Davis (well-connected in Trump World & on the Hill) called Jeffries a “house slave” for George Soros - proving Jeffries’ point.

Prince Andrew is banned from Christmas and isn't allowed to do some royal stuff.

The Republicans are covering for Trump and other's involvement.

Maxwell is getting primed to be pardoned.

So this is quite blood-boiling as it is stomach-churning.
