@motherjonesmag: Here's some history the US Supreme Court doesn't want you to think about. In April 2026, SCOTUS effectively ended the Voting Rights Act, opening the door to an all-white Congressional delegation from the South. The decision has startling parallels with Plessy v. Ferguson, the decision that established “separate but equal." The infamous ruling gaslit Black people for claiming segregation put one race above the other and cemented Jim Crow—which sanctioned racial apartheid in the American South. Now, with the destruction of the Voting Rights Act, legal arguments that enshrined slavery and segregation, which were once stamped out, are rising again.

it would actually be 3.0. the stop and frisk supreme court case led to the explosion of the carceral state and legalized slavery/for profit prison, which targeted mostly black peopl leading to jim ceow 2.0

The only way that we had a black federal government is that this was a black country before the Europeans arrived...[Perfect score]

The more things change, the more they stay the same. When there is progress, the goal post gets moved. We are paying in a whitelash for having a Black president.

Do black voters have enough numbers to effect primaries? Do they have enough numbers to cross party lines and change the dynamics inside the GOP? Can’t beat em join em
