Thanks to the advocacy of Black Alabamians and organizations like @allontheline.bsky.social, Black voters in Alabama will continue voting in fair congressional districts that allow them to elect candidates of their choice. This is a win for Alabama, and proof that progress is possible.
Alabama intentionally discriminated against Black voters in Congressional redistricting, judges rule
The court-ordered map, used in the 2024 elections, resulted in Alabama electing two Black representatives to Congress for the first time in history.

Excellent. Back to the days of the Tuskegee syphilis trial. If they really wanted to do a non-vaccine arm all they need to do is enroll people who refuse vaccines. And then blind the researchers. No need to assign anyone to non-treatment.

Trump is threatening to revoke Harvard’s tax exempt status because the university refused to cave to his demands.
Why is he so hell-bent on attacking universities?
Because an educated and informed citizenry has always been the biggest threat to a dictator's power.

100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election.
70% of these donations went to Republicans.
Now, Trump and the GOP are gutting the FEC — which enforces campaign finance and anti-corruption laws.
See how this works?
