THIS is why I’m angry, not who won or lost. Say what you will about Twitter, but I’m sure #BlackVotesMatter has trended at least once today. But on bluer, “better” BlueSky: Crickets.
Republicans are 🗑️.
This "MEGA" bill is worse than the insane SAVE America Act.
Pay attention, people.
If your vote didn't matter, they wouldn't be going through the trouble of drafting legislation to make it harder.

After 104 years of denial, Tulsa has created a $105 million reparations plan for the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. Tulsa’s first elected Black mayor kept his promise. Mayor Monroe Nichols put forward a plan rooted in justice. ✊🏾

The Legislature’s conduct and that concession thrust this case into an unusual posture: we are not aware of any other case in which a state legislature — faced with a federal court order declaring that its electoral plan unlawfully dilutes minority votes and requiring a remedial plan that provides an additional opportunity district — responded with a plan that the state concedes does not provide that district.
As we explain below, despite our searching review of all the evidence before us — much of it directly from the Legislators and Legislature, none of it in dispute — try as we might, we cannot understand the 2023 Plan as anything other than an intentional effort to dilute Black Alabamians' voting strength and evade the unambiguous requirements of court orders standing in the way. After we and the Supreme Court ruled that the 2021 Plan, with only one majority-Black district, likely had the unlawful discriminatory effect of diluting Black Alabamians' votes, the Legislature deliberately enacted another Plan that it concedes lacks the second Black-opportunity district we said was required. This amounted to intentional racial discrimination in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment's Equal Protection guarantee.
The other intensely local information that we have considered tells us that the statistical disparities in Alabama (and their causes and effects) are not like everywhere else, even if some of Alabama's statistics might be similar in some ways to statistics from other places. As just a few examples: the conditions in Alabama's Black Belt are sufficiently unique to startle seasoned, leading national scholars; school desegregation cases are still pending in federal courts in Alabama; and Alabama is the only state to have multiple jurisdictions bailed back into federal preclearance in the last ten years. To repeat what we have already said in another context (about crossover districts): things are different here.
