Of the case’s 6 #white plaintiffs, #Sotomayor said that “no one’s stopping them from participating in the voting process,” adding that “the state is stopping #Black voters from doing that in many districts, because it’s packing them into areas that whites overwhelm them.”

Beginning his remarks, the #Louisiana solicitor general opened with the suppositions of what he called a “stereotyping system” that assumes one #Black voter would vote like another.

What has transpired in 'Gaza Central' over the past 77 years & presently is tragic for the truly innocent.

Having said that, the 'West' has received an effective one sided rendition in the form of Hamas's Ministry of Social Media Propaganda.

As early as October 8th 2023, we first heard the cries of shortages of fuel, food, & water for Gazans.

The major media shortage, images of KIA Hamas fighters & their hoarding of essential foreign aid for themselves. No famine there.

@AlliFlowers I ask once again, can a future sane president rescind or revoke awards that debase the Presidential Medal of Freedom?

New in PN: The 1,287,923 defects in the Comey case ... so far

"Halligan is finding out that prosecuting a case is harder than it looks — particularly when that case has already been rejected by seasoned prosecutors as unwinnable. And her appointment may not even be legal, meaning that the indictment is a legal nullity … which may actually be the least embarrassing outcome here for the DOJ."

The Black Panther Party was founded #OnThisDay in 1966.

From a 2016 article commemorating its 50th anniversary:

"The work of the Black Panthers remains important for several reasons. First, they remind us that the problem of police brutality has long been with us [...]

Second, the BPP offers a good model of grassroots activism and ideology in practice."

NPR reported in 2024 that Trump’s circle allegedly urged Netanyahu not to finalize Biden’s ceasefire proposal— to wait so Trump could claim it after his election victory. Netanyahu, facing criminal prosecution at home and needing Trump’s political cover, agreed. The framework sat on the table gathering dust while the political calendar aligned for Trump’s preferred timing.

The cost of that delay: approximately 20,000 additional Palestinian deaths.

#Louisiana appealed to #SCOTUS but
eventually added a second majority Black district after the justices’ 5-4 ruling in 2023 that found a likely violation of the #VotingRightsAct in a similar case over Alabama’s congressional map.

#JohnRoberts & Justice Brett #Kavanaugh joined their 3 more liberal colleagues in the #Alabama outcome. Roberts rejected what he described as “Alabama’s attempt to remake our section 2 jurisprudence anew.”

BREAKING: Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva says Speaker Johnson is delaying her swearing-in — not because of procedure, but because she’d be the 218th vote to release the Epstein files.

“He’s silencing 800,000 Arizonans and stalling democracy just to keep those files sealed.” 👀

This is Juliane Gallina Gloss, Deputy Director of the CIA. Her 21 year old son was tragically killed fighting in the Ukraine-Russia War. He had volunteered to fight with the Russian forces.

I’m gonna repeat that:
