Lmfao 🤦‍♀️

Unfortunately its “our leaders” who are trying to take our voting rights.

The Senate as currently composed will not pass any voting rights legislation. It’s fine to reintroduce it. If that makes you feel better. It matters that we continue to show there are other options ready for when this all ends. Best to lay it all out and be ready. This all will be ending soon.

If old @schumer.senate.gov had been an effective leader, this would have passed when we had the senate and the house. But he was scared of sinema and manchin and so here we are

I am skeptical. Very sad.

Kudos. Let’s get this done!

You don’t need a passport to vote. There is no fee to update your Social Security card. In the 9 states that require picture ID you can use a driver’s license, state issued non driver ID, firearm ID, or a whole host of other options that cost nothing if you have no money.

The GOP won't support that. They all need voted out (if we even get to have midterms)

@papst-ny.bsky.social

No. Warnock and Durbin, i.e. the Dems, reintroduced the Act. The SENATE will kill it. FACT: The KKKristofascists have ZERO intention of allowing free and fair elections going forward or of ever letting power change hands again unless violence forces it upon them.

The Senate can piss off.

Look for this to crash harder than the epstein tape at 11:58:58

Yeah, in the last four years when it had a snowball's chance in FUCK of passing. That would have been great. This is bread and circuses now.

Republicans have been blocking that bill since the Court of Koch gutted the voting rights act years ago. It will never get through the House or the Senate.

And let's get past the status quo...we must make voting a constitutionally-protected right! Voter registration should be automatic; election day should be a holiday; and let's end that relic of our slave-holding origin—the electoral college. Plus, how about campaign funding limits?! We need vision!

I'm curious: could a voting rights act effectively ban gerrymandering? I'm thinking so, but IANAL.

Also, note the complete lack of executive orders by Joe Biden to protect the vote after Senators failed to move their voting rights legislation.

Good trouble.

Gerrymandering must be illegal

I agree. But there is not a single GOP that will vote for it. Just as ,not a single democrat voted for Bove . Yet, here we are voting rights no, corrupt and absolutely vile newly appointed federal judge of the third district is a yes! It’s horrifying!

The Problem Is That John Roberts And His Evil Cohorts Don't Want Elections To Be Free And Fair. In His Rulings, It's Clear That He Believes That The Wealthy Should Be Able To Buy Elections....That's The Thrust Of The "Citizens United" Decision....

My sign at the John Lewis protest day this month in Great Barrington, MA!

I'm afraid that the John Lewis Voting Right Advancement Act has a snowball's chance in hell of passing.

Making our vote inconsequential is making our freedoms inconsequential. cbwrong.blogspot.com/2025/07/toda...

Should of done this before he passed

John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act should have been Biden’s objective on DAY ONE.

who? which senator did this reintroduction? you are woefully short on critical information

They ain’t gonna.

Or, we fight like they do and steal the vote. Clearly the law system is broken in this country. Time to play by their rules.

Laugh past a graveyard, putz.

OK let's go

If only any of the GOP had any ethics or backbone…. It might go somewhere.

Yes, let's watch how the MAGATS in congress vote.

Add it to the 2028 list.

While the cats away the chickens will play.

Spoiler; The cult Republicans has zero interest in expanding the light of Liberty to others.

Thank you but I truly wish it mattered. The goons in charge of Project 2025 will ignore whatever is inconvenient to them and keep us locked in court battles till the damage is irrevocably done (just about there already). But sincerely, thank you for trying.

Absolutely!!

Pass this now!

Nice thought.

Which, sadly I'm sure tRump will veto, because he's that kind of asshole.

It was *House Speaker* Mike Johnson, skippy. The Senate hasn't yet taken their summer recess.

PFFFFT they wont

I’m old enough to remember Democrats not successfully delivering the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act because Senate decorum was more important than impactful legislation. So now we suffer & fight to save our Democracy. Ah the Filibuster - 11/3/21 & 1/19/22. I remember our failure well.

It might be wiser for Blue and Red states to consider a divorce. Blue states have probably had enough abuse by those 'Red Commies' called Republicans.

More PERFORMANCES we know goddamn well won't get anywhere Instead they could use their energy to stop selling us the fuck out and fight that scam from last fall

Big buttfull voting act.

Don't give the GOP members of Congress a minute of peace. You have a right to call anyone in Congress. Here's the senator phone list. There are 53 Republican Senators Call every day. Ok to call off hours and blow up their VM. 202.224.#### Be vocal. Be visible. Be disruptive. Make the calls

Dems should have gotten this done under Biden. Prioritizing Chips & Science over We the People has cost us an awful lot.

The courts JUST RULED that we can't afford disabled CITIZENS ASSISTANCE IN VOTING. This is way past due. WAY past due. Remember the "Voting Rights Act" that Roberts decimated 16 years ago? It allowed GERRYMANDERING. GOP took advantage of that to keep the House, hello Texas! WHY DID THEY WAIT?

Did SOMEBODY say John Lewis ???

We have no leaders apparently.

Which has zero chance of passing, and if it did, would be vetoed by Trump. The focus needs to be on blue states playing by Republican rules and gerrymandering the crap out of their districts so we can win the house and slow the end of democracy in America.

Legally, y'all are actually expected to vote in elections under Australian law. Even so, the fact you're being pushed to engage in electorialism at all is proof you lot over there have no actual democracy. Because democracy, actual democracy, is entirely voluntary and not done under coercion.

We could have passed a voting rights law back when Dems had the majority, but Senators Manchin & Sinema wouldn't have it. They really hurt Democrats. Fck them both now.

And we can expect the evil republican regime to vote for the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, and Trump to sign it into law, and the supreme court to refuse any effort to attack it once it is in place. Because America hasn't changed into a completely fascist regime at all.

Just in time. Now Congress should hold a hearing on voting verification youtu.be/sRa4tY7vJdc

And the point of this absolutely futile legislative action by the Dems is what…? It’s dead in the water. No GQPer will support it. What a waste of time.
