"Donald Trump’s administration has ignored the economic concerns (of Black people) while kicking them out of government positions and systematically dismantling programs that invest in Black communities. And, perhaps most significantly, Trump’s handpicked Supreme Court justices have undone protections of the #VotingRightsAct in the greatest threat to Black political representation since Jim Crow":

"To discuss what the decision in #LouisianaVCallais means for future #USelections and the long erosion of #votingRights protections, from the limitations of the 15th amendment to the evisceration of the 1965 #VotingRightsAct, Adam Shatz is joined by Mara Gay, a staff writer at the New York Times, and Randall Kennedy, a professor of law at Harvard."

Today the Roberts Court spits on graves of hundreds of thousands who died for the idea that black people are people.
The Civil War really was a thing.
But Uncle #ClarenceThomas won't be happy until he can't vote.

This entire SAVE con is a Poll Tax. Poll Taxes were abolished by the 24th amendment.
However, in order to be able to vote if the SAVE act passes, you will need to spend hundreds of dollars and possibly months of time.
The Republicans are working to instate an illegal election policy change, in the same year as an election, as close to the election as possible. The change targets voters who don’t vote for Trump. Yes it will be overturned eventually by the Supremes, but not in time for 2026 elections
