I am so disgusted

Texas (a confederate state) and 17 other states (half of which were also confederates) are suing 4 States claiming that their citizens’ 14th amendment rights were violated. Ironically, that amendment is one of the reconstruction amendments that was put into the constitution because of the confederacy. Now those states have the nerve to sue states and disenfranchise a lot of African American voters.

We've been laughed at the world over for the past 4 years over trump's antics. Now the world is laughing because a third of this country are arrogant morons who revel in their stupidity.

plus the AG of S Dakota recently involved in a fatal car crash. Kissing their king's a** for a pardon. This case will go nowhere but it is still an assault on our democracy.

Voter suppression has been going on for generations in the South..and other places. We gotta get a different strategy to inform the voters..how to outsmart the hurdles and not just give up. This comes with conversation with those are impacted.. seriously talk with them n see how their system works. That saying about buttering each side of the bread.. those with the most butter win.. beat them at their own game. Neighbors know how to organize..they’ve been doing in for generations. Knowledge is power.
