Light green text: "60 years ago today the Voting Rights Act was signed into law. Defending the right to vote has never been more important." Below it, a tinted yellow photo of a group of people marching, with some of them holding American flags. ACLU logo. Dark green background.

The Voting Rights Act was signed thanks to the Civil Rights Movement’s work to give voters of color, especially Black voters, the political power we deserve.

The Constitution promises us a government by and for the people — the Voting Rights Act brought us closer to this ideal.

NEWS: Constitution Sections on Due Process and Foreign Gifts Quietly Removed From Government Website This is a major story that more media sites need to cover.

They can take down websites, use manipulation to reinterpret it, and trample over the Constitution, but they can't disappear the document. They cannot erase due process or clauses about foreign gifts. They are liars and traitors.

One of the ways to support these brave leaders is to help donate to the funds to pay the daily fines.

The Texas House Democratic Campaign Committee is using funding to assist, but if anyone knows any other donations that go entirely to supporting drop it below.

Border Patrol at a Home Depot in Los Angeles days after the 9th circuit affirmed a court order that purports to block this exact behavior. They don't even know who they're chasing! This is insane. Send them all to jail.

60 years later, Voting Rights Act protections for minority voters face new threats Sixty years after the Voting Rights Act became a landmark law against racial discrimination, legal challenges heading to the Supreme Court could curtail its remaining protections for minority voters.

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 became law 60 years ago today.

People struggled for it. Were beaten for it. Murdered for it.

The Supreme Court brutalized it. MAGA aims to murder it.

Don’t just get mad. Do something. The movement to protect democracy needs you.

See you in just under an hour at CiCo Park to welcome Doc Marshall! We're meeting on Wreath Ave just north of Dickens, facing the technical college. But we expect the group will move to find the best vantage point to say our friendly hellos.

A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration's efforts to reallocate more than $4 billion in federal funding geared toward natural disaster mitigation projects, arguing the transfer could lead to "irreparable harm" to flood-prone areas

HHS slashes funding for mRNA vaccine development | CNN US Health and Human Services is “winding down” its mRNA vaccine development and will instead fund other vaccine platforms through the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, the agency...

WTH?!?! so much for sleep… Science is under attack by this administration & RFK Jr all the time.

HHS has stopped about $500M in grants & contracts for developing mRNA vaccines.

The same type of vaccine that saved lives during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Call your representatives, RFK Jr has got to go!

This is why so many in Gen Z don’t believe homeownership is part of their American Dream. They saw their parents lose homes in record numbers during the Great Recession.

Gold standard or appalling? HHS’s $500 million vaccine bet on inactivated viruses puzzles field Department selected universal flu vaccine work by NIH leaders without “transparency,” some scientists say

I guess we now officially know where RFK Jr. got the $500 million he handed over to a buddy in May for a single vaccine platform that experts say is outdated and may well fail.

He did it by ending research on proven mRNA vaccine technology—the tech that saved 3.2 million lives in the U.S.

A brown graphic with tan text that reads: “When ICE agents come into our communities, we need to know who is behind the mask.” Below this text is a smaller graphic containing two images: on the left, an image of a person holding a sign that reads “immigrants are welcome here” with a blue overlay, and on the right, an image of an ICE officer wearing a mask and helmet with a tan overlay. The ACLU logo is featured in tan in the bottom left corner.

The VISIBLE Act would require federal agents to wear visible ID and ban their use of ski masks and other non-medical face coverings.

I introduced a motion to subpoena the Epstein files. We got the votes.

Today, we got the subpoena.

The DOJ has 2 weeks to release the Epstein files to the Oversight Committee. Justice must apply to everyone, no matter how rich, powerful, or well-connected they are.

YouTube video by Rep. Jasmine Crockett Temu Hitler thinks he can bargain-bin our democracy. Not on our watch. #jasminecrockett #trump #tx

We stand with the Dems of Texas and all who follow their lead!

The Oversight Committee subpoenaed the DOJ for the Epstein files. They now have 2 weeks to release the files to the committee.

It’s time to find out who’s been protected, who thought they were above the law, and who’s been hiding behind power.

Trump administration violated impoundment law by canceling NIH grants, slowing new awards, GAO finds The Government Accountability Office found that the Trump administration, by abruptly canceling NIH grants, had violated a 1974 federal law

GAO just affirmed what we all knew: President Trump cannot simply turn off congressionally-approved funding on a whim. Blocking $15B in NIH research was illegal—and dangerous.
 
It’s time for the Trump administration to follow the law.

Some of my colleagues who are currently crying online about TX Democrats leaving the state are the same ones who left D.C. early so they wouldn’t have to vote on releasing the Epstein Files.

Kind of interesting how that works, huh?

“RFK Jr.’s anti-vax disinformation campaign is wildly successful”.

Patriots: "Its services will be free to those looking to push back on Trump’s use of executive power... Zelinsky told CNN in a phone call that their group stand[s] out because of the number of people who have come out of retirement to work for the firm."

Celebrate the wins, folks!

Yes, I was referring to the Fascists having to redraw to win. Texas, NC, and others are purple, not red. The reason they stay red is due to the gerrymandering and if they want to be out and loud with it, then blue states need to add the seats to knock it down.
