“But the GOP insists it ignored race and only considered partisanship when it drew a district that was more favorable to Republican candidates.”

That’s not better but I doubt it.

Thanks for nothing, #SCOTUS. It sure would have been better not to let a court led by John Roberts be a thing.

What happens when you elect Democrats and give them proper majorities:

“In anticipation of that move, lawmakers in Maryland expanded who could perform abortions and budgeted funds for training over the objections of then-Gov. Larry Hogan, a Republican. Gov. Wes Moore, a Democrat, released the initial funding last year that had been held up by Hogan.”

“The decision comes after U.S. District Judge Jeffrey V. Brown found that the county’s precinct map “denies Black and Latino voters the equal opportunity to participate in the political process and the opportunity to elect a representative of their choice to the commissioners court,” in October.”

How odd. How very, very odd.

If someone has positive things to say about Donald Trump, in comparison to anything anywhere, that person is a Trump supporter. It’s not questionable.

The sooner, the better.

To be clear, the justice system should not be blamed if the court proceedings are concurrent and cumbersome.

Those indicted made decisions that put themselves here. If anyone is facing multiple indictments, it is of their own doing.

I guess he desperately wants to Make America White Again (which it never really was). The “Great” was just another Trump racist smokescreen.

There isn’t racism against white people. It stupid to even consider voting for Trump. Or a third party.

A lot of the articles on Affirmative Action miss one major point. I will repeat it over and over: Not all schools are equal. Minority students often times do not have rigorous courses, college prep courses, coaching, or private tutoring as so many of the schools in white districts. If you want to do away with affirmative action, you better start at the lower grades. But Republicans don't like to fund education so there you are....inequality. #VoteBlue

The descendants of the Tulsa massacre should be compensated. Their community was destroyed and people were killed by a racist white mob. White people in Tulsa who are descendants of those racist white folk have profited at the expense of the black people whose successful and prosperous community was erased.

It’s infrastructure. Which is jobs. Republicans just don’t get it.

“A new Transportation Department grant program created under the infrastructure law is aiming to improve safety at the nation’s rail crossings, sending $570 million this year to 32 states to upgrade more than 400 locations. The projects will construct overpasses and pay for track relocations and pedestrian and vehicular improvements where train tracks and roads intersect.”

College tuition is so high that our young people have to take out student loans that will financially crush them over the course of their life if they want to get an education. But colleges have a spare $75 laying around to buyout losing football coaches. I think we are angry at the wrong people in this country when Americans are hating on students with massive student loan debt.

Biden defeated Trump in Michigan four years ago by 154,188 votes.

Obama had an “uncommitted” protest vote here in 2012, too, of 10.69%, but I never got to ask all of them what they didn’t like about Obama. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Anyway, hope everyone can unite by November because we need it.

He and Kushner would plow over the Gaza Strip and profit off development plus do everything Netanyahu wants. Maybe time for a new slogan though if the right can easily co-opt yours.

Just like Russia did and does to Bill Browder. Hunter Biden may be a less sympathetic character but still deserves the fair shake any US citizen does, especially where Russian intel is concerned.

The GOP thrives on chaos, conspiracies and vengeance. They have no plan or interest in improving the lives of working people. And everything they do leads back to Putin.
