  1. Pro-democracy protest photos.

    I have been to many of these places and I wish I were at any of them right now.

  2. The Sargent-at-Arms blocks Tennessee State Representative Justin Pearson of Memphis from entering a legislative committee meeting about redrawing that state's electoral map — specifically for *the district he represents*. The measure to approve the effective elimination of the state's only majority Black voting district — replacing it with five new majority White Republican districts — follows last week's Roberts-Alito Court ruling abolishing the remaining provisions of the Voting Rights Act.

  3. “SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!” The people of Tennessee not taking the stripping of the voice of majority Black MEMPHIS (to protect a corrupt president) quietly #NewJimCrow @GovBillLee. @MarshaBlackburn

  4. HAPPENING NOW… marching on the Capitol…. #NewJimCrow @GovBillLee

  5. Today in NASHVILLE… #NewJimCrow @MarshaBlackburn @GovBillLee

  6. “HANDS OFF MEMPHIS! HANDS OFF MEMPHIS!” #NewJimCrow @GovBillLee

  7. 🔥 @[email protected]: “There is a complete assault on the city of MEMPHIS right now (by @govbilllee and state Republicans)… we have an occupation happening… our school board is being taken over… now they’re attempting to remove our representation.” #TN9 #NewJimCrow

  8. While they tell you the real racism is to make sure Black folks in the South have representation, this is what they’re actually doing. #NewJimCrow (From @TheKingCenter @[email protected] ) www.instagram.com/p/DXxi8QAiCn...

  9. Oh look! All the major networks and cable news outlets are purging solo women anchors and solo people of color anchors in the big chairs. Gee, I wonder why that is! #NewJimCrow #Donotobeyinadvance #evil #racist #misogynist #creepycreeps

  10. Adam Serwer writing in *The Atlantic* on the recent 8th circuit appeals decision gutting the Voting Right Act. The decision prevents citizens and groups from filing lawsuits seeking relief under the act, limiting it to the Justice Department. A government action. Which, as Sewer notes, is at odds with the intent of congress and longstanding application.

  11. @gratefuldread They also didn't block individual AP culture classes for #AsianAmerican studies or for cultural studies classes for a wide variety of #European countries.

    Screw #AfricanAmerican students. After all, Ron Deathsentence told us in so many words that #woke in #Florida means #Black and mixed people, and he said Florida is where the woke go to die. I take that statement LITERALLY. I must.

  12. @TonyStark Why should Republicans start complaining about white supremacists when white supremacy is the whole subtext of the Reagan Revolution, which still going today. Just like Jim Crow was a backlash to reconstruction, Reagan Revolution was a backlash to the Civil Rights era. The backlash periods last 10x longer than the instigating events, apparently.
