A court ruled Louisiana's old map likely violated the Voting Rights Act. So they drew a second majority-Black district.
Reminder: Tennessee's story is different.
The fight over who gets representation is happening state by state.
Here's what's at stake: bit.ly/4dsDP1S
A few days ago, the president voted by mail. Now, he wants to restrict that voting method for all Americans.
No, it's not an April Fools joke – but legal experts say it'll likely be laughed out of court.
“I’ve voted my whole life. Why is Mississippi making it harder now?”
That question keeps coming up across the South. And the answer is always the same: coordinated strategy.
Mississippi voters are pushing back.

This is bigger than North Carolina.
When SCOTUS chips away at the Voting Rights Act, it doesn’t just change legal theory — it opens the door for voter suppression laws across the country.
And we’re seeing it happen in real time.

URGENT: Georgia Republican lawmakers are moving to take over Black cities across our state.
Legislation is being pushed RIGHT NOW that could strip Black communities of their local political power.
📞 Call Speaker Jon Burns NOW: 404-656-5020
Tell him: STOP the takeover of Black cities.
A new leaked recording reveals Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) – the lead sponsor of the SAVE Act – acknowledging that his bill creates a documentation barrier for married women who changed their names.
Politicians are misleading you about the SAVE Act.
Important 2 min. breakdown of one of the bill’s major problems. ⬇️
Section 8(j)(2)(A), SAVE Act: Sen. Mike Lee says it ensures no American will be blocked from voting "if they can't find their documentation."
But Lee's statement relies on a sworn statement – the same type of sworn statement the SAVE Act says we can't trust.
Critical 2-min watch.
NEW: The Dept. of Homeland Security official overseeing election security helped advance efforts to seize voting machines after Trump’s 2020 loss.
Now he’s working with election deniers inside DHS.
@propublica.org is connecting alarming dots in Trump’s 2026 election takeover plot.
Not enough people are talking about the stupidity behind Trump's election "takeover" plot.
2020: Georgia GOP activist called 911 and chased trucks she said were illegally destroying ballots…they weren’t.
Trump's DOJ is using claims like this to 2020 seize ballots. ⬇️
The Voting Rights Act once stopped many of these attacks before they could advance.
Now many of those guardrails hang by a thread.
Let’s be clear about what that means.
Maps redrawn to silence communities.
Black representation erased.
And one party locking in political power long before voters ever get the final say.
Voting rights groups across the South aren’t waiting quietly for the ruling.
They’re organizing on campuses, in churches, and in communities to explain what’s at stake.
Because if the Court rules the wrong way, the consequences could reshape political power for decades.
That’s why thousands gathered in Selma this weekend.
Not just to remember the march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in 1965, but to warn about what’s happening right now.
As Rev. Al Sharpton said: This isn’t a commemoration. It’s preparation.
In Louisiana v. Callais, SCOTUS is considering whether to weaken the VRA and make it easier for states to redraw maps that dilute Black voting power.
If that happens, majority-Black districts across the South could disappear, and the balance of power could shift overnight.
For decades, the Voting Rights Act stopped some of the worst attacks on Black voters before they could take effect.
But over the last decade, the far-right Supreme Court has chipped away at those protections.
Now they’re considering further attacks. ⬇️
One thing about the draft “emergency powers” executive order Trump allies are circulating:
It’s not about fraud – it’s about stopping as many people from casting ballots as possible.
I joined @samosterhout.bsky.social at @lincolnsquare.media to break it down.
Big story that got buried last week.
As news focused on Iran, ProPublica revealed Trump officials met with election deniers pushing a “national emergency” plan to fuel's Trump's 2026 election takeover.
Same ones who tried to overturn his 2020 loss.
Critical 2-min watch. ⬇️
🚩 Red flags don’t wave themselves.
They show up when policies threaten access, transparency, and accountability in our elections.
First with Venezuela & now with Iran Trump has commingled allegations of election interference with illegal war
Could he use that as part of the pretext for an elections emergency executive order taking over the midterms?
As I explain @contrariannews.org, if he tries we will shut him down in court
Pay attention – Trump has called for:
– Rigged voting maps
– A mass voter suppression law
– Republicans to “take over” elections
Now he’s bombing Iran while allies circulate a draft "emergency" executive order to expand his power over voting.
@marcelias.bsky.social is connecting the dots. ⬇️
The next Big Lie is to taking shape right in front of us. Donald Trump will try to use this to assert illegal and unconstitutional powers over the 2026 elections.
See you all tonight!
You wouldn’t want to miss al of the gems that
@amandalitman.bsky.social and @mauricewfp.bsky.social are about to drop.
RSVP HERE: tinyurl.com/29ebt2n5
State of the Union speeches attempt to define reality.
If tonight reinforces the idea that elections are broken, ask yourself what policies changes could come next.
The groundwork for 2026 election interference is being laid.
Fulton County isn’t random.
It became the symbolic epicenter of Trump's "fraud" narrative.
Reopen that story – and you reopen the justification for changes to election rules and laws.
The pattern is consistent:
1) Repeat a debunked claim
2) Create public doubt or a fake crisis
3) Introduce changes to address the crisis
That suspicion becomes the justification for policy.
When you hear about “election integrity,” remember:
The SAVE Act, federal voter roll interventions, and ballot access changes are all framed as responses to a "fraud" crisis that never existed.
