It is happening, though. And unfortunately not just young Black men. Firmly grown and middle aged ones, too. It’s the same type of dissonance that makes white women cling to whiteness over womanhood. When the rubber meets the road, people lean to their perceived advantages.
Saying young black men and boys are being influenced by the red pill space when that is one of the most racists side of the internet is such a lazy thought. If you ask the average young black man about some of the biggest names in that space, they will turn a blank.

And this unceremonious reversal goes unexplained. It would be more intellectually honest for Roberts and Kavanaugh to explain their switch up from Milligan, but such is not the way of the shadow docket. This is an act of power (“b/c we can”), not of law (“b/c we must”).
In 2023, chief justice John Roberts & SCOTUS majority said Alabama's argument for a "community of interest" along the gulf coast was BS. Tonight, SCOTUS takes a reversal and says that a court-ordered map was not legal because it failed to keep Gulf coast comunity together

Jared Polis, the Democratic Governor of Colorado, is everything wrong with the Democratic Party. Caving to Trump to free Tina Peters, an anti-America thug, whose hatred for our country led her to try (and fail) to overturn an election, is a level of weakness that we need to root out of our party. I have no remorse for imprisoning enemies of America because the message to these animals needs to be crystal clear: you try to overthrow our country, your grandchildren will see you in jumpsuits eating meatloaf Monday behind bars. We must have more respect for our nation than surrendering our values because a nut job sheds some tears and says she “made a mistake.” How pathetic. I’m glad this chump’s term ends in November. Get lost.

so you can only bring a case now if the person drawing the map basically goes “i am a racist and i am drawing this map for racist purposes to dilute the black vote in direct defiance of the 2026 supreme court decision titled louisiana v callais” on a hot mic
Replying to @baseballot
The decision does not throw out the Voting Rights Act entirely, but it appears to raise the bar for enforcing it. You now need to prove that the map *intentionally* prevents minorities from electing their preferred candidates.

Socrates in 460 BC: “The unexamined life is not worth living.” Marcus Aurelius in 150 CE: “You have power over your mind—not outside events.” Augustine of Hippo in 400 CE: “Do not go outside; return into yourself. In the inward man dwells the truth.” Marc Andreessen in 2026:
Billionaire Marc Andreessen says he has "zero" introspection, and that the idea itself is a modern invention.

“You can bet that at some point the communities consistently told they’re not viable for a seat at the table will stop showing up to do the grassroots work that could deliver the very swing districts these debates center around.” My take on “electability.”thedailybeast.com/james-tala…

I do not think any politician is above criticism, but to pretend race does not factor into how y’all come down on some politicians is nuts. This is where y’all lose me every time, downplaying racism

Don’t sell this is as a win when it is not, that shit is insulting to our intelligence. Saying we can no longer allow people to suffer from this admin would have been a better message than playing in our face about a meaningless vote that will fail. FOH!

cool cool the Supreme Court says “Papers, please” is fine if the person is poor and brown
BREAKING: The Supreme Court — over the objection of Justices Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson — allows the Trump administration’s racial profiling of people working certain types of jobs in its immigration raids during litigation.

Difficult to describe how dark this period in American politics must be for even Rand Paul, who singlehandedly blocked federal anti-lynching legislation for years, to have to get on this app and incredulously ask the Vice President whether he ever read To Kill a Mockingbird.
JD “I don’t give a shit” Vance says killing people he accuses of a crime is the “highest and best use of the military.” Did he ever read To Kill a Mockingbird? Did he ever wonder what might happen if the accused were immediately executed without trial or representation?? What a despicable and thoughtless sentiment it is to glorify killing someone without a trial.
