The Voting Rights Act is done tomorrow they’ve already annihilated it. Tomorrow is the beginning of end and next June it’s over.

A huge and consequential argument in the SCOTUS tomorrow. Is SCOTUS hell-bent in gutting the Voting Rights Act?

The Two Section Twos

The Protection Against Racial Gerrymandering in Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act is Constitutional. Just Read Section 2 of the 14th Amendment.

This was always the plan- that's why Biden was sabotaged so Trump got the "deal." Israel needed more time for demo.

Y'all hollered about Kamala Harris when Trump told you he was going to make this shit a parking lot. Now you still yell at HER. But you got no smoke for the person who did this.
