By killing the VRA, John Roberts has set the stage for Black voting power to be wiped out at every level of politics.
Black people in affected districts will still technically have the right to vote, but no real ability to elect candidates they support and who represent their communities.

Jim Crow was on the ash heap of history. Then came the Roberts court.
The disaster the justices have unleashed has its roots in one of the darkest periods of our past.

Billionaires like Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Jeff Bezos are buying political power to try to demolish our Social Security, our health care, and our democracy brick by brick.
Vote in November to keep these oligarchs far away from our most vital programs.

1) 25 yrs ago, Osama bin Laden orchestrated the most deadly attack on our mainland in history.
2) 10 yrs later, the Obama administration hunted that devil down, and killed him.
3) 10 yrs later, Trump orchestrated the most violent internal attack on our Capitol ever.

This is where we are: a tech billionaire who, as an undergrad writing in the Stanford Review, "blasted a student movement to raise custodians' pay, warning it 'destroys incentive for them to improve themselves,'" is now a chief architect of a homelessness policy built around punishment and coercion.
How the Billionaire Joe Lonsdale Shaped Trump’s Homelessness Policy (Gift Article)
As Republicans have embraced tough measures to clear the streets, no group has led the way more than the Cicero Institute, founded by the venture capitalist Joe Lonsdale.

Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” adds $4,200,000,000,000 to the national debt.
A trillion of that goes straight to the wealthiest 1% of Americans.
There’s only one party that is blowing up our national debt to cut taxes for the wealthy.

ICE just arrested a 5-year-old on his way to a soccer game in Austin.
His name is Liam, just like the little boy from Minnesota.
He should be in kindergarten this week. Instead he's in a trailer prison in the desert.
Release Liam. Release these kids. Close the Dilley children’s prison.

Please stop saying “lockdowns.” There were never true lockdowns in the US, and it fuels far right narratives to repeat this inaccurate statement. You can say closures, you can say restrictions, or better, you can say public health measures which saved many lives.
People still complain about “lockdowns” but we had none in the US. We had stay-at-home orders, where although businesses were closed, you could still go outside whenever you wanted. Other countries had far stricter rules, and yet have been much more accepting of them as they saved many more lives.

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.
"Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial: Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later."
