1. 🧵"If you are taking seats from Black people...then you are a thief." Baton Rouge civil rights activist Gary Chambers said the quiet part out loud Friday as GOP lawmakers push to wipe out Louisiana’s majority-Black districts. See the heated exchange👇

In both Virginia and Alabama, the people have voted in special and primary elections. But the courts are deciding whether it counted. Democracy Docket Legal Content Editor Ashley Cleaves explains how the redistricting fights in these states are strikingly similar.

South Carolina’s failure to redraw its congressional map to dismantle the state’s lone majority-Black district is no small victory, @marcelias.bsky.social said. “At least in that one state, for this one election, Black voters will continue to be able to elect their candidate of choice.”

The Supreme Court decision gutting the Voting Rights Act is compounded by the cultural effects that the ruling is already having. “[The decision] gave a permission structure to those people who want to destroy democratic norms,” Marc Elias said.

Marc Elias has repeatedly said one thing since Trump took office: “It’s going to get worse.” What can we do to fight back? Marc explains 👇

If you’re angry about the gutting of the Voting Rights Act and the state of free and fair elections, you are not alone. @marcelias.bsky.social shares your ire. “Have people not learned that when you do this to Black voters, it turns out bad for democracy for everybody?”

Louisiana's governor suspending an election goes far beyond redrawing maps. “If you think this is going to end with redistricting...you are not paying attention to what Donald Trump and the Republicans are getting us ready for come this fall,” says @marcelias.bsky.social. Here's what we can do 👇

BIG PICTURE: Louisiana's governor has declared a state of emergency to halt the ongoing congressional primaries. “I wonder…when we get to the general election,” says @marcelias.bsky.social, “whether or not we will have, for example, a president of the United States who will think he can do this.”

There are no property ownership requirements to vote in this country. Yet, the Election Integrity Network does not want homeless people to be able to vote, Marc Elias said. “They are U.S. citizens, and they are as entitled to vote as anyone else,” Marc said.

How do we fight back against partisan gerrymandering and pass meaningful reform in the United States? Voting blue, @marcelias.bsky.social says. “We need to gain power to use that power to restore democracy.”
