I think this is an underestimation, if anything. There are 114.2M black and brown people in the United States. Add in the indigenous people from the tribal nations, that goes up to 123.9M. There are also 70M who are disabled, a fair number of whom, such as myself, not black, brown, indigenous, 🧵

I’m not going to hail Barrett and Roberts for allowing us to count our votes. It’s a huge win for democracy, but it shouldn’t have even been a question. That we were one vote away from disenfranchising votes is all the more reason to expand the court in 2029.
