Mississippi had to increase Black representation thru redistricting but then turned around and made it harder to vote with new restrictions on mail-in ballots. Voter suppression will be on the rise as we move into mid-terms and SCOTUS will approve.

Amazed at some of the discourse among Black New Yorkers (people I grew up with) about how Mamdani’s socialist ideas will destroy NY and they will never get done. These are working class people thinking the status quo of a city where only the rich thrive is better than an economy for all?

Hey @columbiauniversity.bsky.social ICYMI, fighting back is worth it.
A federal judge in Boston said she found it "difficult to conclude anything other than that [the Trump administration] used antisemitism as a smokescreen for a targeted, ideologically-motivated assault on this country's premier universities, and did so in a way that runs afoul of [federal law]."

The ruling is a legal victory for Harvard but the White House says it will appeal the decision.
