The Supreme Court gutted much of the Voting Rights Act earlier this year. What does that mean for organizers on the ground working to expand voting rights in the South?

Our friends at @revealnews.org asked one of them.
Voter suppression is happening in the South. This organizer fights it.

Defend immigrants and trans people.

Voting rights.

Oppose data centers.

Tax billionaires.

Get money out of politics.

Medicare for all.

It’s not complicated.
Crazy idea: Democrats should defend immigration and immigrants, run on the idea that immigrants make America great, and stop Homer Simpsoning themselves into the shrubbery every time Republicans try to demagogue it.
New Marist poll of Texas finds 61% say undocumented immigrants should stay in US if meet certain requirements. Only 35% say they should leave.

A majority of noncollege white men (Trump base) says stay.

Supports my case (see piece/thread below) that Trump opened way for new pro-immigrant consensus

Next weekend’s NO KINGS rallies are about more than protesting. They’re about ORGANIZING.

With early voting underway, the mission is clear: Know your rights. Make a voting plan. Turn protest into ACTION.

Considering that the dem candidate can directly influence what laws get passed or not, and has signaled that they will vote against trans rights, I can't see how voting for such a candidate is "fighting for trans rights"

John Roberts’ greatest hits:

2010: votes to let unlimited corporate money flood our elections
2013: guts the Voting Rights Act
2024: hands presidents immunity for official acts

That’s not a judge. That’s a demolition crew with a lifetime contract.
