To me, we're picking between two problems: Individual pressure to validate invoking a right of access vs collective impact of masking access when trying to understand and navigate biased systems. Ultimately I am more concerned with the latter because the former can be addressed via cultural shifts.

I see a lot of folks who don't live here trying to excuse the people responsible for what happened.

They didn't do what they could. If they had done what they could, they would have corrected all of the vulnerabilities brought up in 2018 and over a thousand people wouldn't be "missing".

I’ll be making some recommended reading for Black August. I’ll be choosing creative work as well as more academic titles. My first is one I’ve referenced here before I finished recently, Gerald Horne’s REVOLTING CAPITAL. Mine’s signed because we contribute to the same radio show.

It's already tremendously difficult to regain your voting rights in Tennessee: 500,000 people are currently barred. And it just got worse... you'll also have to *pay* just to apply for a special court order.

In Nashville, that application alone (which can be denied!) costs $159.50.
Tennessee Puts Voting Rights at the Whims of State Officials
The state made an infamously difficult process of restoring voting rights for people leaving prison even harder, now requiring that they plead for approval from a governor or judge.
