Man, districts need to be automatically generated based on population from censuses, not some crazy game of fuck as many people over as we can Tetris.
That wouldn't serve the elite though
or even more directly: it would require the people CURRENTLY in power to sign a law that takes away THEIR power -
never going to happen. And my comment is generic enough for even "both sides" types
Animal farm!
Don't worry, then the census data itself becomes the target for fuckery. Which is basically what happened during Trump's presidency.
Shut up, Uncle ruckus
"Reportedly Justice Ruckus referred to Mr. Jackson as a 'lucky bastard' in reference to his vitiligo condition, which causes skin pigment to lighten"
No relation.
This guy is probably top 10 of the "I got mine, fuck you" GOATs.
I just assume he's actually the evil spirit of a white ultra-racist guy that managed to possess the body of some poor black dude.
You need to listen to some podcasts or read about him, the guy is wild. He thinks taking away all the ladders and assistance from black people are doing them a favor. He thinks other black people are lazy, and he only got to where he is in life on merit alone.
Dude fails to see all the support and even racial equity laws that helped get him the education and networks to where he is today.
I doubt even actual house slaves were this loyal to their masters.
House slaves didn't get free booze cruises and mansions.
Goddamn inflation smh my head
And i want him stripped of all power and held accountable for everything he’s done to strip away our rights and liberties, which has resulted in incalculable pain, suffering and death, but here we are.
And I want Justice Thomas to admit what he did to Anita Hill, and discloses the bribes he has accepted and which cases he compromised for them.
But we don’t always get what we want in this world, Clarence.
Clarence TOMass
FardyCakes wants the Supreme Court to stop hearing Clarence Thomas.
It’s funny because he never talks
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The high court’s 6-3 decision on Thursday effectively gives state lawmakers a roadmap for discriminating against Black voters when drafting congressional district boundaries, as long as they can say they were targeting their party affiliation, not their race.
In its monumental 1954 decision in Brown v Board of Education, the Supreme Court sought a “boundless view of equitable remedies” through “extravagant uses of judicial power” to end racist segregation, according to Justice Thomas.
“Drawing political districts is a task for politicians, not federal judges,” arguing that the court’s “insistence” on hearing cases involving racist voter suppression “led it to develop doctrines that indulge in race-based reasoning inimical to the Constitution.”
Last year, a federal court tossed out South Carolina’s map after finding that the state’s First Congressional District – currently represented by Republican US Rep Nancy Mace – violated the Constitution by using race as the determining factor when drawing its boundaries.
The case has magnified the difficulties for ensuring protections for Black voters particularly in states where one’s race and political affiliation are closely aligned, blurring the line between racial or partisan gerrymandering.
In Thursday’s decision written by Justice Samuel Alito , the Supreme Court’s conservative majority argued that the complaint from the South Carolina chapter of the NAACP relied on “circumstantial” evidence that Republican state lawmakers used race when they drafted its congressional map.
The original article contains 551 words, the summary contains 226 words. Saved 59%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
You know this is fucked up when a person who would be normally affected by redistricting doesn’t want to stop it from happening.
