❝ What the Voting Rights Act produced – not just officeholders but the constituency-mapping that allowed Black political coalitions to cohere – is precisely what Republicans are now undoing.
They have a roadmap. In 1913, Woodrow Wilson’s administration resegregated the federal civil service that Reconstruction had pried open. They did it by executive action and administrative memo. ❞

The Republican project isn’t to win in November. It’s to make November cease to matter
New electoral maps are erasing Black representations. The effort takes its cues from American historyJamil Smith (The Guardian)
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.

#Democratic lawmakers, whose opposition means little under a #Republican supermajority in the state’s General Assembly, & #Black leaders across #Tennessee have compared the effort to carve up the Ninth Congressional District to #JimCrow era voter suppression tactics. They have accused conservatives of a power grab that undermines Black voters in #Memphis, who have long favored #Democrats.

The Supreme Court wants us back to Jim Crow where only white men of property can vote. 🗳️
“Gerrymandering is invisible which is why it feels like our democracy is deeply divided when in reality the Republicans have an unfair advantage in most aspects of our political system that makes it feel like there are more of them.”

"John Roberts life’s work of repealing the 20th century is essentially complete. What is clear about him is that he is determined to use the Supreme Court to systematically dismantle every outrage against white supremacy and oligarchy that were passed by 20th century congresses and upheld by 20th century Supreme Court majorities:"

"Whatever we call it—Jim Crow 2.0, the John Roberts Jim Crow Era, or the John Crow Era—no person in America is more responsible for the return to the Jim Crow Era than John Roberts. The resurrection of the post-Civil War Jim Crow brand of racism is the crowning achievement of John Roberts’ life work" (continued in /9)
