"For all the effort that Supreme Court justices put into insisting they are not 'partisan hacks,' when the Court resolves awful democracy cases, elected Republicans have remarkably little trouble understanding what they are supposed to do, and how quickly they are supposed to act." ~ Jay Willis #SupremeCourt #Callais #VotingRights #democracy #EconomicElites #corruption #Republicans /1 https://ballsandstrikes.substack.com/p/the-republican-justices-want-to-help

"The all-out sprint to make the 2026 maps at once redder and whiter lays bare the real project of the Callais majority: The Republican justices are trying to help their fellow Republicans win more elections in more places. Every seat counts." #SupremeCourt #Callais #VotingRights #democracy #EconomicElites #corruption #Republicans /2

"Each tool was built to achieve through the legal loopholes what could no longer be done openly. Callais is the modern version. The parallels to the Gilded Age are unmistakable." ~ Nadine Smith #SupremeCourt #Callais #VotingRights #democracy #EconomicElites #corruption #Republicans /4 https://www.contrariannews.org/p/the-supreme-courts-racist-rerun

"When the Voting Rights Act was passed, White people in the South, and the party they adopted as theirs, the Republican Party, set out to do everything in their power to dilute and destroy the Voting Rights Act. The right of Black people to vote removed White people’s power to discriminate, so they struck back." ~ Lucian K. Truscott #SupremeCourt #Callais #VotingRights #democracy #EconomicElites #corruption #Republicans /5 https://luciantruscott.substack.com/p/go-sit-down-and-shut-up-and-do-as

"Ultimately, the decision in Callais leaves me with a question: Why are conservatives so afraid of democracy? Why are they afraid to let the voters decide elections?" ~ Joyce Vance #SupremeCourt #Callais #VotingRights #democracy #EconomicElites #corruption #Republicans /6 https://joycevance.substack.com/p/what-the-court-did-in-callaisand

"The Voting Right Act of 1965, which removed the ability of governments to put in place facially neutral but clearly discriminatory practices, and in doing so ratcheted up Black registration in Louisiana until it matched White voters. This effect was immediate and enduring across the South. The VRA increased Black political representation." ~ Don Moynihan #SupremeCourt #Callais #VotingRights #democracy #EconomicElites #corruption #Republicans /7 https://donmoynihan.substack.com/p/power-democracy-and-clarity

"…which in turn increased Black economic power by opening up previously barred avenues, like public employment. ... What has been the impact of the Roberts Court on democracy? Wealthy people have more political power than everyone else. Partisan actors have more power to reduce voter choice." #SupremeCourt #Callais #VotingRights #democracy #EconomicElites #corruption #Republicans /8

"Black people and other minority groups are offered fewer protections and less visible political representation. ... We are living in an era of unprecedented concentration of wealth and power, an era of extraordinary democratic backsliding." #SupremeCourt #Callais #VotingRights #democracy #EconomicElites #corruption #Republicans /9

"The millions of pages of documents the Department of Justice has released – more than a month late – are not about who was on the private jet, or who was invited to dinner or when they sent emails or what was in the emails and texts. One way or another, the pages are about raping children. A powerful man wanted to 'invest' money with Epstein?" ~ Lucian K.

"It’s not about the money. It’s about what that money ultimately was used for: raping children. ... Elon Musk was busy on his X account yesterday doing what the New York Times is now calling 'distancing' himself from Epstein. Why would he bother posting what I guess we could now call a distancing denial?" #Epstein #Trump #pedophiles #EconomicElites #rape #children #ElonMusk /5

"The Epstein Class is laughing all the way to the bank, drinking our tears as sugar for their expensive coffee. ... As we die and suffer, they laugh and make money off of AI, Crypto, and war." ~ Wajahat Ali W. Ali points to recent statements of Palantir CEO (and Peter Thiel best bud) featured in the image below. #Trump #Iran #war #EconomicElites #EpsteinClass #billionaires #TechBros #broligarchy #Palantir #PeterThiel #AlexKarp #crypto #AI /14 https://thelefthook.substack.com/p/the-epstein-class-is-creating-world

"Trump is surrounded by people who are making money from the war; each day of war strengthens a warmongering lobby with personal access to the president. As the war lengthens, the chance that it will be exploited for a coup attempt increases." #Hegseth #Trump #Iran #war #incompetence #WhiteChristianNationalism #PerformativeMasculinity #EconomicElites #oil #gas #profiteering /4

"When a feebleminded lunatic runs the world's most well-funded war machine, it's best to worry and risk being accused of overreaction. The problem is that a significant swath of Americans aren't alarmed enough. ... I am speaking of the 'Trump Always Chickens Out' maxim that has taken root since the beginning of Trump's second term." ~ Jason Linkins #Trump #TACO #WallStreet #EconomicElites #morality #InsiderTrading #StockMarket /1 https://newsletter.tnr.com/index.php?action=social&chash=4c2e5eaae9152079b9e95845750bb9ab.3020&s=cdd6377d8462caad2b4695418c877aea

“'I had very little correspondence with Epstein and declined repeated invitations to go to his island or fly on his "Lolita Express",' Musk wrote. Elsewhere, we learn that Musk’s 'very little correspondence' with Epstein amounted to 14 emails." #Epstein #Trump #pedophiles #EconomicElites #rape #children #ElonMusk /6

How much money has Trump profiteered from his presidential office in the past year, you ask?

“A'll he wants is a ballroom, stadiums named after him, the Arc de Trump, to party with his rich friends, and for billionaires to kiss his ass.'
