Note that the MSM was quick to point out the drop in Black turnout relative to 08 & 12 without also mentioning that SCOTUS dismantled the VRA for the GOP in 2013 precisely *because* Black folk voted in record numbers for Obama. High Black turnout was Jim Crow 2.0’s justification.
Receipts:
In other words, the “conservative” SCOTUS justices who voted to destroy the VRA did so by selfishly interpreting historic Black turnout for Obama as the end of racism just so they could have a reason/free pass to turnaround and make racism great again. thenation.com/article/what-s…
They didn’t just fuck up the Voting Rights Act for shits & giggles. They did it to suppress the Black vote and it worked as planned in both ‘16 and ‘18. They will gladly use the out they provided themselves, especially if most of America keeps pretending the shit isn’t happening.

Larger issue is pervasive denial/ignorance about the fact that the vast majority of Americans receiving government assistance like SNAP are White. The mythology of White supremacy won’t allow acknowledgement of the sheer magnitude of White poverty or any efforts at remedying it.
@CharisseEPeople Receipts on that:
@CharisseEPeople Trump’s most recent SNAP cuts put his rural/WWC base directly in the crosshairs but they’re more intent on pretending they don’t need a “handout” than self preservation.

All this poutrage about @RashidaTlaib saying the word “motherfucker” but I have yet to see anyone arguing that Trump isn’t indeed an actual motherfucker. He’s a pussy grabber too in case y’all forgot...
Miss us with your impassioned defense of the sociopath sexual predator’s fake ass “honor”, folk like Trump are why the word motherfucker was even invented.
He’s literally stealing children from their mothers and locking them in cages w/no hope of reunification plus the prospect of abuse, neglect & death at the hands of the US Govt. That’s the epitome of MOTHERFUCKER and if folk can’t handle hearing it they should stop enabling him.

Don’t cry for me Twitter, the truth is I still don’t GAF. 🤪
I’m not #onhere for the purpose of being listed or blue check marked and will proudly be a Susan Lucci of Twitter for the duration without skipping a damn beat. The receipts speak for themselves and I have plenty of them, plus I feel y’all’s love and support every single day. 🔥
But since we’re on the subject, I have some thoughts...

Judge Brett Kavanaugh has arrived for the second part of today’s hearing.
Kavanaugh: "You have replaced 'advice and consent' with 'search and destroy.'" This is not the same statement Kavanaugh submitted. buzzfeednews.com/article/blakem…
Kavanaugh, as part of his fiery speech, says this all is, in part, "revenge on behalf of the Clintons."

1) My thoughts on why our #MSM being called a #FreePress is...

Complete bullshit.

(THREAD)
2) Our #FreePress never challenges Democrats on their talking points. Only Republicans get this 'privilege'.

@AdamSchiffCA is on TV all day talking about how their is proof of #Collusion, but we've yet to see ANY.

Anchors just sit back and listen to the narrative of the day.
3) Anyone anti-Trump gets to make the rounds everywhere spouting nonsense against @POTUS.

You'd think a #FreePress would of learned after Wolfe's book backfired, but instead...

Here's comes @OMAROSA who gets more insane with each interview.

Republicans announced #SCOTUS hearings will begin on Sept 4th. Let’s recap how the Senate GOP’s blatant and historic obstruction of Judge Kavanaugh's record is denying both the Senate & the American people access to critical information about a potential Supreme Court justice.
The GOP is deliberately withholding the entire record of Judge Kavanaugh’s 3 years as Staff Secretary– the most senior position he held in the Bush Admin & a job Kavanaugh himself said was “formative” & “instructive” as preparation for being a judge
Meanwhile, the small % of docs the Judiciary Committee will get to see are being pre-screened by a GOP political operative who worked for Kavanaugh in the Bush admin and currently represents Steve Bannon, Reince Priebus and Don McGahn.

If this seems shady, it’s because it is.

It's likely that #45 names his nomination to replace Kennedy on the SCOTUS tomorrow. Amongst the Democratic leadership & grassroots activists there is agonizing about what is to be done: put up a fight and recognize @SenateDems have no direct means to stop it OR > 1/ #SCOTUS
…fight tooth & nail to postpone until after the election by dragging enough GOP votes to block this. I want to be clear: I believe this appointment is a pivotal one in US and World history, so I come down squarely on the side of fighting it. 2/ #SCOTUS
Before I explain, let me acknowledge & give respect to some excellent arguments put forward to fight a good fight but acknowledge the inevitable, ... /3 #SCOTUS

1/ This is an appalling and dangerous ruling. As Roberts wrote, the ruling is neutral on its face--but surely the court isn’t holding that facial neutrality is enough to render a policy constitutional!
2/ And it isn’t even the history (call it the legislative history) of the ban that the court ignored. It also ignored the fact that the ban makes no sense. #scotus

#SCOTUS, 5-4, has rejected challenges to President Trump's revised travel ban.
supremecourt.gov/opinions/17pdf…
Along the way, #SCOTUS appears to overrule Korematsu, the decision that upheld the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II. "Korematsu was gravely wrong the day it was decided."
Justice Kennedy writes separately: "An anxious world must know that our Government remains committed always to the liberties the Constitution seeks to preserve and protect, so that freedom extends outward, and lasts."
