As a white Southerner in the United States, I am deeply appalled. Words absolutely fail to describe how this gerrymandering could downspiral from the loss of political representation for Black Americans to loss of professional opportunities and individual personal freedoms. And don't get me started about educational equality. This is an outrage, and an assault against the memory of the Black slaves whose labor literally built the Southlands from the ground up. It's a misery and a heartbreak for their descendants, many of whom still live in poverty, oppression, and injustice.

Alito said racism was over. Southern states are now rushing to revive Jim Crow.
Republicans are set to dismantle at least five majority-Black districts in the South.Mother Jones

Right now, #Felon47's #cult is losing races everywhere, which is why this sudden spate of mid-decade redistricting.
It was that very #gerrymandering that brought this to #MafiaDon's hand-picked #SCotUS leading them to decimate the #VotingRightsAct.
So I challenge the idea any of this was achieved "fairly".

Delegitimizing the Juristocracy
A week ago, the Supreme Court of the United States decided to eviscerate the Voting Rights Act, clearing the way for Southern states to reimpose discriminatory maps that strip representation from A…Goldwag's Journal on Civilization
Race, at least in the South, is a more reliable predictor of how someone will vote than their party identification, explain political scientists.
And that makes race a potentially irresistible lure for those designing congressional districts. theconversation.com/why-politi…

Racial gerrymandering may be here to stay
The Supreme Court has barred considering race when crafting legislative districts. But race could remain embedded in political gerrymandering, despite vehement claims to the contrary.The Conversation
1) Expand #SupremeCourt, impose 18-year #TermLimits, enact enforceable #ethics rules. Strip #SCotUS of #jurisdiction over certain topics.
2) Facilitate the passing of the Nat'l Popular Vote Interstate Compact; ends #ElectoralCollege
3) #Prosecute all #crimes committed by this admin./ fire all who joined #ICE recently
4) National law against any #gerrymandering. Independent panels create #voting districts.

This is a crisis of democracy. What will Dems do about it?
They need a bold and radical political reform agenda, or things will only get worse.Paul Waldman (Public Notice)
#Tennessee #Republicans on Wednesday proposed a congressional map aimed at diluting the state’s lone majority #Black district, a swift response to last week’s #SCOTUS ruling that weakened a landmark #VotingRights #law.
The new map slices #Memphis, a majority-Black city, & #ShelbyCounty into 3 districts & likely will give Republicans the ability to flip Tennessee’s lone remaining Democratic seat.

The General Assembly is expected to quickly approve the map, which slices up Memphis, a majority-Black city that makes up most of the state’s lone #Democratic district.

There's been zero news of any democratic state governor matching this ploy to rig the election. NOT. A. SINGLE. ONE.
