In 2021, states passed more laws regulating Black voters, Black history and Black protesters than guns, masks or police.

Replying to @ggreenwald
Glenn, the CDC made a mask mandate in April 2020, a month after the lockdowns. Lockdowns was the first measure, didn’t work. CDC went to mask mandate then Trump said “I don’t think I would wear one personally. It’s not for me.” And just like that it became a political issue.

Targeting and undermining communities of color is at the center of GOP's voter suppression bills. They will make you believe it's not, but it's our communities that are hurt by these efforts not theirs.
🚨 There are currently *253 voter-suppression bills* under consideration in 43 states across the country. This is a full-blown, highly coordinated attack on voting rights by Republican state legislators.

I'm sick of the two different justice systems in America. We should all be sick.
Terrill Thomas died in April 2016 after being denied water for seven days at Milwaukee County Jail. Jacob Chansley stormed the U.S. Capitol and was moved to a Virginia jail so corrections officials can provide him with organic food. There are two justice systems in America.
