The Supreme Court is allowing Republican politicians to wipe out Black political representation and power. We need to make it impossible for politicians or the courts to manipulate these maps once and for all.

Elon Musk spent $290 million getting Trump elected. During this midterm cycle, he's spent $85 million. In total, that’s 0.0375% of his $1 trillion net worth. Oligarchs can rig the system at the expense of everyone else, and only spend pennies doing so. We must get Big Money out of politics.
