🚨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

When people ask me what gives me hope, my answer is simple: you do. Every person who refuses to look away. Every lawyer who files a brief. Every protester who shows up. Every voter who refuses to surrender their rights. You give me hope—not because victory is certain but precisely because it is not.

Purges of FBI and IC, gutting of DOJ, prosecutions of political opponents, assaults on independent institutions, massive expansion of ICE with fascist-adjacent recruiting messages, firing of general officers—but nothing much to see here. Let’s not be alarmist. Also what about Hunter’s laptop.
