THREAD 🧵 The Louisiana Legislature is in direct defiance of a federal court order by ending the special redistricting session without adopting a congressional map with two majority-minority districts. #LaLege #LaGov (1/5) 
Unfortunately, this comes as no surprise because it was clear there was no real intent to comply with the Judge's order. Today continues a sad and awful legacy whereby justice for Black people must come only as a result of federal intervention. (2/5)
On the verge of Juneteenth, we had the opportunity and the responsibility to do better; but the majority of our State’s legislators have once again chosen to be on the wrong side of the law, and the wrong side of history. (3/5)
I’m especially appalled that cameras were turned off when the Louisiana Legislative Black Caucus spoke before sine die. Black Louisianans deserve to hear their representation in the state legislature, and have their own voices represented in Congress. (4/5)
Like our forefathers, the Louisiana Legislative Black Caucus and our allies will keep fighting. True freedom comes when no one is left behind. (5/5)
