if you also didn't know about this, spend a few minutes with the story to learn about what is likely coming due to SCOTUS — being informed is very important to face what's next.
I, for one, have only really thought about the VRA through the prism of federal elections, not local elections.

But this well-reported piece reminds us that ending the VRA will have an impact on ALL levels of representative government.

The Supreme Court may further erode the Voting Rights Act in an upcoming decision. Beyond affecting Congress, that would reverberate across local governments nationwide.

🤔 This is extra silly, because being an American literally is a right. 87% of people living in the US were born here, entitling them to birthright citizenship.

Birth*RIGHT*. It says it right in the name.

VACCINES DO NOT CAUSE AUTISM!
However
Measles can cause encephalitis and brain damage.
Chickenpox can lead to permanent scars.
Meningitis has long term consequences like seizures and motor function disorders.
Polio can cause respiratory paralysis.

Vaccines are SAFE and prevent life long misery.
No, Vaccines Don’t Cause Autism—Here’s the Proof Parents Need to See
Countless studies have shown no link between vaccines and an increased risk of autism spectrum disorder. But some parents still hold onto that belief.

The actions of Witkoff, Rubio and Trump in this matter are an absolute disgrace. This means that the U.S. cannot be seen as an honest broker in any international conflict.
Trump’s controversial plan given to Ukraine as a take-it-or-leave it proposition was the result of weeks of negotiations behind the scenes between Steve Witkoff and his Russian counterpart Kirill Dmitriev that excluded Ukraine, its allies and key US officials.

Too late. Marco Rubio already spilled the truth. The so called peace plan was Russia’s wish list, not something the US drafted. He’s trying to walk it back but the damage is done.

He’s scrambling.

Mary Ziegler points out that no Republicans voted against the failed South Carolina bill that would have jailed women for up to 30 years for abortion. But the point of such bills is that they incrementally mainstream the most extreme anti-abortion positions.

This is not a “peace deal”. It’s a 28-point surrender plan drafted and leaked to US media by Russia, and Trump treated it like it was his own. Rubio admitted as much to senators.

This is shaping up to be a train wreck.

🚨 "Why Trump’s ‘quiet, piggy’ comment should be seen as a warning"

"But there’s a bigger, bolder kind of misogyny taking center stage in shockingly casual ways. A gendered slur such as 'piggy' is meant to disparage, belittle and most of all put a woman in her place."

Why Trump’s ‘quiet, piggy’ comment should be seen as a warning
The president's vicious and casual comment represents the normalization of misogyny in U.S. political culture — and is a potential threat to democracy.
