1. 🧵"If you are taking seats from Black people...then you are a thief." Baton Rouge civil rights activist Gary Chambers said the quiet part out loud Friday as GOP lawmakers push to wipe out Louisiana’s majority-Black districts. See the heated exchange👇

4. Chambers: "If that triggered you, senator, then you should go to bed tonight. And when you go to bed tonight, talk to your God and ask your God to change your heart."

5. Chambers isn't alone. Civil rights groups are mobilizing. Public testimony has run overwhelmingly against the GOP redraw.

“We have to acknowledge that the reaction to the Supreme Court’s decision was anticipated”, especially by the Court, the Republican Congress, and Trump’s regime members who are actually running the Govn’t. This is a blatant act of contempt for the people, democracy & the free & fair access to vote.

The word "thief" is too loud for the Senator? How about a euphemism: "unauthorized resource reallocation specialist." 🗽

I propose white Republican strongholds in CA be redistricted with majority Dem populations. It's just party, right? That upper class white Republican towns suddenly are represented by inner city Oakland or South Central LA or Latino Santa Ana is MERELY a coincidence, right?
