The voting rights case forced in the Supreme Court right now is whether our current SCOTUS wants America taken back to 1958 or stay in the current state of EQUAL REPRESENTATION OPPORTUNITY.

I’m guessin’ they want to kick minorities to the back of the voting bus.

🔴 In the past 24 hours, Gaza’s Health Ministry reported an additional 29 killed (22 of whom were recovered from the rubble) and 10 injured arriving at hospitals.

This brings the recorded death toll from the Israeli genocide in Gaza to 67,967 and 170,179 injuries (likely 3-5x higher)

ABOLISH ICE and EXPAND THE SUPREME COURT should be mainstream Democratic promises and talking points.

But timidity and civility will rule the day and screw the rest of us and this country in the end.
