Tampa protests mid-decade GOP gerrymandering in solidarity with big Montgomery, Alabama protest

The 16th of May was a day of action for voting rights and againt Jim Crow, gerrymandered maps, and disenfranchisement throughout the South.

The flagship protest was in Montgomery, Alabama but protests took place in many places throughout the South. One of these was in Tampa, FL. In Florida, there were not only the local protests in cities but also busloads of protesters went to Alabama after a stop in Tallahassee to protest Florida's own extreme gerrymandering. FL like many other Southern states has passed a set of "white power/MAGA" maps to give additional seats in the US Congress to Trump's GOP goons, as they cannot win them by a vote in any fair election at this time.

The previous day, FL state rep Angie Nixon and several others were arrested in DeSantis's office in Tallahasse during a protest of the new gerrymandered district maps.

All this comes on the heels of the demand in Alabama from Al state rep Nathan Ledbetter for SCOTUS to overturn the 14th Amendment. SCOTUS is NOT supposed to even be able to do that, but that no longer seems to matter in the US. White racists have been trying to bring back slavery since the end of the First Civil War.

I honestly believe nothing short of a MASSIVE #BlueTsunami that even rampant #Gerrymandering and #VoterSupression #Disenfranchisement can't overcome will put a stop to the spread of this #Trumpism Disease and show the world the #racists & #grifting political #ConMen aren't winning, relegating them to the dustbin of history.
Is justice truly blind when it comes to voting maps? Joy-Ann Reid reveals a Supreme Court majority, dubbed the "John Crow Roberts court," allegedly collaborating with Republicans to manipulate midterm maps. Reid argues the court permits GOP gerrymandering while rejecting Democratic attempts, suggesting fairness is only a one-party principle. Dive deeper into Reid's analysis to understand the implications for our democracy. https://www.joyannreid.com/p/the-john-crow-roberts-court-majority #Gerrymandering #SupremeCourt #VotingRights
The John Crow Roberts Court majority is colluding with Republicans to steal the midterms ... and they're not even hiding hiding it

They've told you who they are. Believe them.

Welcome to Joy's House!
Can Democrats overcome rigged maps in 2026? Paul Krugman and G. Elliott Morris explore how gerrymandering and the gutting of voting rights provide Republicans a structural advantage. Despite this, a massive anti-President Trump wave fueled by his low approval on prices could still prevail.
