During this tumultuous time for democracy in our country, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) is putting his faith in the American people. “Whose constitution is it? It doesn’t belong to the Supreme Court. It doesn’t belong to the federal judiciary. It belongs to us.”

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.
“The Callais decision was the worst decision of my lifetime,” Marc Elias said. Marc explains how Republicans will try to use the Supreme Court decision gutting the Voting Rights Act to delegitimize any community of Black voters electing their candidate of choice.
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 👇

We need more voices speaking up to fight against the demolition of democracy in our country, Marc Elias says. “This is rolling back the foundation of what made America possibly a democracy, beginning in the 1960s. And yet, in most corners, there’s silence.”
Efforts to erase Black voting power in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision to gut the Voting Rights Act are immoral. How do we fight against it? “We are going to stand up and call out every miscitation, every abuse of this case for other purposes,” Marc Elias said.
Democracy has always been under attack in our country, @marcelias.bsky.social says. Now is not the time to back down. Now is the time to fight back. “If we give up now, if we just lose hope, then we are doing Donald Trump’s bidding.”
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.”
Chad Bianco, a GOP county sheriff who is running for governor of California, seized 650k ballots cast in last year’s redistricting special election. During a televised debate, the leading Democratic candidate in that race has accused Bianco of breaking the law. https://bit.ly/4tVtDUV
Hakeem Jeffries had a simple message after Trump falsely implied Jeffries’ rhetoric had caused the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner: “Every time Donald Trump wakes up or posts in the middle of the night attacking me, it’s clear we’re getting to him ..." Jeffries told Marc Elias.
The reckless call for holy battles by political figures like Raghuraj Pratap Singh directly poisons our secular fabric. Using divisive rhetoric to mobilize the masses under the guise of protection is a blatant attempt to incite violence and destroy national harmony.
