Rep. Raskin: 'The Supreme Court has imposed an outrageous racial double standard.'

Acyn @Acyn 6h
Raskin: The Supreme Court has imposed an outrageous racial double standard. In the name of partisan gerrymandering, you can deliberately abolish every majority-African American district in the South. If you want to deliberately create majority-African American districts, it’s presumptively unconstitutional. So we have a racial double standard that’s being advanced by the MAGA Roberts Court.

Stone cold racism on a scale I have NEVER seen in my lifetime is happening in real time.

Louisiana Governor Landry suspended a primary election — where tens of thousands of people had ALREADY VOTED — to redistrict and eliminate Black representation.

Our country is supposed to be about the expansion of liberty and freedom. We're seeing the exact opposite.

The SC appears to be just getting started on legalizing their Christian Nationalist agenda. I know they're not going to allow a legal election to take away their power.
