DC deserves statehood. Puerto Rico deserves a vote on its own status. Both are long overdue.

#DCStatehood #BlackVotersMatter

With upwards of 670,000 residents, Washington, D.C. has a larger population than either Vermont or Wyoming. If admitted as a state, the district would have the highest proportion of Black residents of any state.

DC deserves to be a state.

The Department of Justice has finally taken on ‘True the Vote’, the right-wing group behind the wrongful challenge of hundreds of thousands of legal Georgia voters. True the Vote challenges were the central subject of the film Vigilante: Georgia’s Vote Suppression Hitman created by the Palast Investigative Fund team.

"Georgia’s system was created in 1964 after the urging of Denmark Groover, who blamed Black voters for a reelection loss and proposed runoffs. Groover later acknowledged the runoff system was intended to suppress Black political representation."

The Washington Post: Georgia's runoff system was created to dilute Black voting power

You only see these long lines in Blacklanta, where state law eliminated most dropboxes.

The official wait times in white rural counties and suburbs was 10 minutes or at most half an hour.

You only see these long lines in Blacklanta, where state law eliminated most dropboxes. The official wait times in white rural counties and suburbs was 10 minutes or at most half an hour. The people we spoke to in #Atlanta told us that the lines have tripled, not because of higher voting but because it was a practical impossibility under the new law to mail in your ballot.

BREAKING: Cheryl Moses, editor of BlackGwinnett Magazine, teamed with the Palast Investigative Fund to file a formal complaint with the US Dept of Justice Civil Rights Division. The legal action demands the reversal of severe restrictions on dropboxes in Georgia.

On #GivingTuesday, I donated to #BlackVotersMatter, a group doing amazing work to undo the structures that historically disenfranchised black voters, particularly those in rural areas and the deep south.
