I CANNOT BELIEVE I HAVE TO SAY THIS: the purpose of a voter identification card is not only to suppress the vote, but to TRACK the vote. voter id laws in the United States have ALWAYS come down to fascists wanting to know who is voting AND FOR WHOM, so they can suppress those votes. the SAVE Act is not only a voter suppression law, but it’s #MAGA #fascists wanting to codify that Americans do not have a right to a secret vote ―which is a HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATION #VotingRightsAct #USpol

Birthdays are for kids. I don’t think the #US needs a sad drunk clown. Oh yeah, right, they elected one. #Trump isn’t a “drunk”, but he is constantly wired on Adderall. Still, after you’re old enough to #vote or drink, nobody gives a shit. I guess that means the US should’ve stopped having birthday parties in 1965, when Black women were finally allowed to vote under the #VotingRightsAct. I guess this should be a day of mourning, as #JohnRoberts’ #SCOTUS has made gutting the #VRA a priority.

#GiftArticle #SCOTUS kills #VotingRights The Supreme Court’s decision to upend a key provision of the #VotingRightsAct [#VRA] has plunged the nation into a dizzying new era of partisan conflict, most likely ushering in a forever #redistricting war that could produce fewer competitive seats in #Congress & further #polarize #US politics. #law #ElectionLaw #CivilRights #democracy #RepresentationMatters #authoritarianism #illiberalism #PartisanCourt #ActivistCourt

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 on April 29 to sharply limit the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The ruling hollows out a landmark law that protected minority voting rights for six decades. Here's a look at the case and how it could change America.

🗣️ @warnock.senate.gov@bsky.brid.gy : “The conservative Trump majority is trying to squeeze the voices of people out of their democracy. They’re trying to take your voice so you won’t be able to hold them accountable.” #VotingRightsAct
