Look at what the president is doing: Attacking the judiciary. Attacking free press. Using fear to intimidate. Trying to normalize the U.S. military in our streets.

This is not normal. This is not American. These are attacks on the very pillars of our democracy.

Mike Johnson: "They berated a Capitol police officer, screamed at him. He was merely standing his post. It shows, again, their disdain for law enforcement, the Democrats, screaming, assaulting officers."

Today, the Supreme Court will hear arguments in a case that could gut the Voting Rights Act by barring states from considering race when drawing district lines — an outcome that stands to upend next year's midterms.

The Supreme Court has chipped away at the Voting Rights Act for years. Will this case be the final blow?

The case centers on Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, the key provision of the law that broadly prohibits discrimination in voting practices on the basis of race or creed.

A precondition for Republics to transition to autocracies is the politicization of the military. It is why the political & military leaders of the country have been so vigilant to keep partisanship away from it. But this admin is dismantling that concept. www.cnn.com/2025/10/15/p...

Here’s the thing. We still have the power (probably) to say that this image must not be what America is. We still have the power to say “fuck no, we refuse to allow this to be what the streets of America look like.” Attend a “No Kings” rally this Saturday. And then vote in 2026.

Supreme Court takes up Louisiana congressional map again, redrawn to create a second majority-Black district under the Voting Rights Act. Lawsuit argues using race to draw district an unconstitutional gerrymander, directly challenging the application of the landmark civil rights law.

Why a Supreme Court case from Louisiana will matter for the future of the Voting Rights Act

Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act is the primary way plaintiffs can challenge racially discriminatory election practices.
