❝ What the Voting Rights Act produced – not just officeholders but the constituency-mapping that allowed Black political coalitions to cohere – is precisely what Republicans are now undoing.
They have a roadmap. In 1913, Woodrow Wilson’s administration resegregated the federal civil service that Reconstruction had pried open. They did it by executive action and administrative memo. ❞

i co-wrote, with other feminist bloggers, a letter to the US Congress asking them to reject Samuel Alito for #SCOTUS.
the lawyers in the group had a long list of cases but there was one case that stood out. we all agreed it was THE red flag about his extremism:
HIS CRUELTY TOWARDS A BLACK TEENAGE GIRL in a decision that allowed prosecutors to treat her as an adult instead of a child.
that case felt like a foreshadow of this #MAGA coup & #civilWar
