🚨BREAKING: Hours after Texas passed its new map, my law firm has challenged it in federal court. In addition to violating the VRA, HB 4 violates the 14th Amendment because it unjustifiably considers race and partisanship as part of a voluntary, mid-cycle redistricting. @redistrictfdn.bsky.social

This is such a great episode to learn and think outside our communities. I really appreciate Julie & Simon calling out the water crisis and how Flint got attention but what the indigenous communities go through is eye opening and ignored.
It’s Episode 1097 on John Fugelsang podcast.
