We must understand that the Voting Rights Act was not merely about ensuring Black Americans rights, it was about democratizing America. This ruling is not just a decimation of Black rights and Black Americans’ ability to have representation, it is a fatal blow to multiracial democracy.

I looked into the media hysteria around a trans woman allegedly competing in the Boston Marathon yesterday. What I found was that every single anti-trans headline about the issue could be traced to a single person. It's 2025 & media literacy is dead.
