9 to 0. To get SCOTUS to rule 9-0 against Trump is a sign of the Apocalypse, I’m pretty sure. Or unfathomable unconstitutionality. Both?
BREAKING: A 9-0 Supreme Court UPHOLDS a court order requiring the Trump administration to bring a Maryland man, Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, back to the U.S. after mistakenly deporting him to El Salvador. Deadline TBD. #SCOTUS

Yes. But we’re not staying here.
In case you were wondering - you are here:
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”

Today, the statewide recount in our race confirmed that I’ve won my election to keep my seat on the NC Supreme Court.
Our win margin in the recount was identical to the original vote count–we won by 734 votes out of over 5.5 million cast.
Nails it. Enough @POTUS. This is about us, not you. thebulwark.com/p/enough-with…

Absolutely bald-faced voter discrimination. Beyond the pale. When justice wins in Texas, it will be so great.

Yep. Midnight in NC. It’s going to feel so good when we win the Gov and Prez there in 2024 and do better than expected in the state leg.
It may be dawn for democracy in Wisconsin but it’s midnight in North Carolina. The authorization of gerrymandering, the disenfranchisement of ex-felons and people without photo IDs — has a court ever done so much democratic damage in a single day?

The number of states where democracy is under attack is insane.
🚨BREAKING: The North Carolina Supreme Court has reversed its earlier rulings finding that partisan gerrymandering violates the state constitution. appellate.nccourts.org/opini…
The cruelty is the point. There is no reason to do this. This is an act of voting AND racial injustice.
A huge voting rights rollback just took place in Virginia.
Governor Glenn Youngkin announced he was no longer automatically restoring people's voting rights.
What this means is quite exceptionally harsh: lifetime disenfranchisement is back in Virginia.

Who can handle the truth?
I'm headed to Florida @FlaglerCollege to discuss my book, Lynching and Leisure, as well as modern lynchings. We only grow when we embrace truth.

Beautiful.
NEW: After agreeing on amendments, the New Mexico Legislature sends the New Mexico Voting Rights Act to Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D) for signing. The bill will establish automatic voter registration, enact the Native American Voting Rights Act and more. democracydocket.com/news-ale…
