Fair Fight Actionโs Chief Legal Counsel joined @wabe.org to break it down.
Voter suppression isnโt just history โ itโs happening now.
- Mass voter purges
- Attacks on the Voting Rights Act
โ Census manipulation
Weโre living through an anti-voter storm engulfing our democracy.
@staceyabrams.com breaks down whatโs behind it + how we fight back.
Donโt get purged.
Deadline to act: August 20, 2025!
Respond to any mail from the Secretary of State and call your county elections office now.
In Georgia and across America, the Voting Rights Act changed everything.
It stopped some states and local governments from creating rules to block Black voters.
It made sure federal eyes were watching.
Itโs still protecting your right to be heard, letโs push for a restored Voting Rights Act!
Bove confirmed. A total travesty. More to add to the Republicans ledger of damage to the country.

Harmeet Dhillon tweeting "Is there a way to set this to music and have it lull me to sleep at night? Is there an app for this?" in quote tweeting a screenshot of the NY Times article about how Media Matters is struggling to stay afloat due to Elon Musk's scorched earth SLAPP suits against the non-profit.
Seems bad that the head of the DOJ's "civil rights division" is cheering on Elon Musk using SLAPP suits to silence non-profit media orgs. But what do I know?
But tell me again how MAGA is the "free speech" party.
But access to justice IS being stifled by political extortion, and institutions are failing us and falling for it.

Max Flugrath reports on the coordinated push to rig the rules and lock in Republican power before 2026.
NEW: Their agenda is so unpopular, theyโre rigging the midterms in plain sight.
Trump and Republicans want to steal 5 House seats โ not by earning votes, by redrawing maps.
Check out my piece in @contrariannews.org on this and why Democrats must use their power ruthlessly to fight back.
Five years ago, we lost John Lewis.
Now MAGA extremists are pushing the SAVE Act โ a new version of old Jim Crow tactics. False claims. Weaponized bureaucracy. Voter suppression.
We have to stop it. For John. For our democracy.
John Roberts & SCOTUS conservative justices squarely to blame for enabling Trumpโs massive power grab in Texas. His scheme to โpick up five seatsโ through mid-decade redistricting can only succeed because the court greenlit extreme partisan gerrymandering www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The goal? Stop voters from throwing them out and lock in GOP control โ and itโs all possible thanks to Chief Justice John Roberts.
Must-read from @ariberman.bsky.social.
478,000 voters โ about 6% of Georgia's registered voters โ are being removed from the rolls.
Georgiaโs Republican Secretary of State just launched one of the largest voter purges in U.S. history.
Voters have just 40 days to act: rightsandinsights.substack.com/p/georgia-is-removing-half-a-million
The Tea Party Patriots helped fund the rally that led to the January 6th insurrection.
Now theyโre pressuring Senators to force passage of the SAVE Act โ a bill that would block millions of eligible Americans from voting.
Call your Senators, demand they NO: (202) 224-3121.
Here they go again - Republicans are rigging the rules to block Americans from having our voices heard in the midterms.

This case is a referendum: will federal law still protect voters under Trump?
Stay tuned. Share widely.
It's MAGA voter suppression playbook:
โ Gut the VRA
โ Let states w/ Jim Crow histories police themselves
โ Shrink Black voter power
โ Lock in GOP control
If DOJ is successful it could embolden states to pass new laws + maps that discriminate against voters.
Enter Trumpโs DOJ who are opposing preclearance in the case.
They're saying the federal government can't protect Americans from state election laws + political maps that discriminate against them.
Their reason? That would infringe on states' right to manage their own elections.
