Supreme court approves Alabama map that erases majority-Black district

Great interview with our friends at More Equitable Democracy about election reform. "Too many times we have seen top-down campaigns. Some politically savvy organization says, 'This is the right solution. How do we get people of color on board? Let's hire an outreach person!' People of color are not stupid, and they want to be part of the decisions being made. "

Alabama’s new congressional maps do the one thing the Supreme Court still forbids

Dear Senator / Representative:
The bipartisan and independent Election Assistance Commission, created in 2002, owns the website vote.gov.
I recently learned that the National Design Studio (NDS), a three-year temporary agency created by an August 2025 executive order and housed in the White House, has a staging server with a working preview of a new vote.gov.
I also learned that the NDS-designed website would replace the current vote.gov should the White House succeed in setting up a national voter database.
The states are responsible for elections. The federal government’s attempt to insert itself in the process of validating voters is unconstitutional.
Their effort to create a national database of voters and involve the Post Office in deciding who can get a mail-in ballot is likewise unconstitutional.
I want you to ask hard questions of Joe Gebbia. The DOGE alumnus and cofounder of Airbnb has a temporary appointment to run NDS. As you know, DOGE is the subject of numerous federal lawsuits related to their controversial access to Social Security data. Given DOGE’s documented record on data access, his appointment warrants close scrutiny.
These backdoor shenanigans need the disinfectant of sunshine. Provide some, please, by holding hearings on these issues.

So, the age old debate and my take on it.
Those who don't vote, won't vote.
Those who vote conservative, vote conservative whether it's a conservative republican or democrat.
Those who vote progressive, often feel that they are forced to vote for conservatives (see above), which is accurate.
Those who vote progressive also often feel like their vote doesn't matter or that elections don't solve anything.
But elections are not supposed to be the only tool we possess to enact change. Elections and voting are one of several tools, and it will take us using every tool available just to be able to start to fix the damage being done.
Replacing our current democratic representatives with progressives means they will likely be ready to make changes that moderates would fear to take on or even talk about. Changes that pragmatists would attack for being unrealistic.

Callais undermines the Voting Rights Act, threatening political representation for communities of color. This decision paves the way for redistricting that favors Republican control, impacting minority-majority districts. #VotingRights Socialists emphasize that the struggle for Black liberation is key to expanding democracy and working-class power. The DSA remains committed to dismantling white supremacist capitalism through active engagement in elections, workplaces, and protests. "All power to the people." Comment LINK (on instagram) and we will DM you the link to @demsocialists https://www.instagram.com/reel/DY4y8uQhcrA/ -- The Supreme Court’s ruling on Louisiana v. Callais strips communities of color of the right to political representation, opening the door for further racist disenfranchisement. Socialists have a long history of fighting to build and defend Black political power, recognizing that the struggle for Black liberation is central to any real expansion of democracy and working-class power. DSA is committed to this fight to dismantle white supremacist capitalism — taking it head-on at the ballot box, in our workplaces, and in the streets. Host: Alex P.

From who gets to vote to how people travel and where taxpayer dollars are funneled, politicians and urban planners wield maps to control public imagination.
