The lawsuit maintained that in Montgomery, Black voters were unnecessarily packed into a single district, preventing them from influencing elections elsewhere, & white voters in the majority-Black city of Montgomery were “surgically” extracted into another district.

Yet another thing that MAGA doesn’t care about.

And then they wonder why they are socially shunned by the normal people.

Why is Trump honoring J6 rioter Ashli Babbitt and not Capital Police Officer Brian Sicknick — both lost their lives:

Babbitt attacking The Capitol.

Sicknick protecting The Capitol.

Can anyone explain?

If "mass unrest" ever happens, that will be an important news story.

But this fevered speculation every week on what *might* happen is downright irresponsible.

It's misleading, it's fear-mongering & it makes the press look like an apocalyptic cult, gathering every Friday for the end of the world.
"Fears of mass unrest" over the appeal court over-ruling the high court. The Independent says police "braced" (again). There is once again a list of 23 locations where protests will be attempted. These v underwhelming (30-300 people) when previous protest "waves" announced last weekend & in July

DOGE wasn’t a cost-cutting venture. It was a data mining operation for private interests. Trump opened the gates to the castle from inside for invaders with bad and greedy intent to plunder and exploit.

“…I am infuriated that the Air Force plans to grant military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it.”

Honoring Ashli Babbitt Dishonors the Military
If there’s no difference between upholding the Constitution and attacking it, then there’s no honor in service.
