6 votes. That's all it took. The Supreme Court gutted the VRA in Louisiana v. Callais, stripping Black voters of districts they fought decades to win. But the deeper story isn't what the Court did. It's what we failed to build. Op-ed by  @joekennedyiii.bsky.social

To protect voting rights after Callais, we need to invest in red states
The deeper lesson of Callais is not just that we must fight back. It's that the people who actually live in these states have been fighting all along and all alone.

Brockton Workers Alliance hears these stories every week: workers terrorized, exploited, and threatened with ICE calls. Construction workers stopped on their way to work. Parents too afraid to pick up their kids from school. No one should live in fear like this.

Gridlock? No. Intentional divestment? Yes. Thank you @mrshardyfly.bsky.social  for this reality check. The government shutdown isn't what they're telling you it is. Watch to understand what's really going on.

Happy Trans Flag Day! Today we honor the Transgender Pride Flag designed by Monica Helms. Light blue for boys, pink for girls, white for those who are transitioning, non-binary, or don't define themselves within the binary. Every stripe tells a story of courage and authenticity. 🏳️‍⚧️

no time for slowing down. Oklahomans deserve better so we have a responsibility to work harder, be more creative, develop stronger partnerships, be in the community everyday, focus on working class issues, raise more money, run more candidates, show up, etc etc etc. Video from Sarah Gray

Instead he has formed the @groundworkproject.bsky.social, a nonprofit that seeks to develop a network of grass roots resistance in four deep-red states — Mississippi, Alabama, Oklahoma and West Virginia — that have received little attention from left-leaning organizations.”

Eric Garner should still be alive today. No hashtag, no slogan, no plea for justice will ever be enough to undo what was taken. But we say his name anyway. The systems that killed him are still working as designed. And so are we. video from @NMAAHC

Alabama made history with two Black Congressional members elected for the first time, an achievement that deserves celebration especially after a federal court found the state legislature intentionally discriminated against Black voters.

I can't imagine being a parent of a queer kid right now, so we wanna make sure they're getting support as well. And we're gonna start a support group for trans adults, and have one specifically for legislative session every year for folks to talk through what it's like to see the policies happening.

Let’s be clear: gender-affirming care saves lives. Their move to block it is a deliberate, ideological attack on trans youth — not science. It’s cruelty dressed up as policy. Kids will suffer.
