Charles Douglas and I broke down how southern states moved immediately to eliminate Black-majority districts after the SCOTUS ruling and mapped out the pro-democracy long-game strategy to fight back.
I would love to see the list of independent journalists!! I love the playfulness of your engagement with Charles!! You too are bringing a lightness to these hard times...very important....I still got you Ahmed!! wish I could have listened to the whole thing during the live show!! Replay has me laughing as well!! and the work continues...I do think its important to pay attention to mainstream..as many voters don't dive deep, that is the challenge with these elections...engaging those whose don't want to really think of the impact of government in our daily life!! I have family that are in that camp...love you both thanks for your presence in my life!!
Thank you, Charles, I just googled Alex Perlman‘s rant and felt cathartic release helping me to fight on! As always, thank you, Ahmed, for your awesome podcasts!
A white man has represented the black folks of my hometown since 2010. Now the likely winner of TN-9th will be a black republican woman. All the SCOTUS ruling says is that states cannot redistrict by skin color.

I just learned that the VA Supreme Court overturned the VA redistricting VOTE! This just SUCKS! I can't believe this is America!
And it's not just blacks (of course that's their excuse) it's trying to eliminate all Democrats too!
Damn Republicans can only win if they cheat and obviously they know it!
This is an extremely crackbrained take.

I’m furious that I took the time to vote YES and volunteered my time only to have it not count.
How does this ever get undone? Will the democrats be able to overturn this ruling or rewrite an even better solution to gerrymandering?
