In addition to adding an additional minority opportunity district in Alabama, this will also add one in Louisiana (a case from there was held pending this decision). It will also result in least one more in GA and likely several in Texas. https://t.co/DLlwVvaVAn

Eliminating blocking would render the site unusable for anyone except bots, trolls, harassers, propagandists, and extremists.

Thoughts on Christofascist Pat Robertson's demise --
He blamed gay people for 9/11 and hurricanes. He said the devastating earthquake in Haiti was payback for a "pact to the devil." Pat Robertson was a piece of shit. https://t.co/xxP5vU4RvD
