The chief justice wrote that there were legitimate concerns that the law “may impermissibly elevate #race in the allocation of #PoliticalPower within the states.”

The Pirate Times: Uniting Pirates and Their Political Voice
Pirates have been a part of the world's history for centuries, known for their seafaring adventures and pillaging. However, in modern times, piracy has taken on a different form - one that is more focused on the digital world.

Like San Mateo stealing the power of mayor Amourence Lee to appoint a replacement council person: This effort—to remove powers from #elected representatives who are #Democrats—has become the new method of #disenfranchising #voters and maintaining perpetual Republican #PoliticalPower. And it is being undertaken with alarming frequency and speed across the country.

Can't print w/o ads & subscriptions. How to compete with e-news?
Every couple of weeks you can read about another #newspaper shutting its doors, or moving from daily to weekly, or hollowing out its #newsroom until it’s little more than a skeleton staff bulked up with #j-school students.
#Localnews is the oxygen of #democracy, the most trusted source...The very places where local news is disappearing are often the same places that wield disproportionate #politicalpower.

My work overlaps with #politicaltheory, philosophy of #information, and #mediastudies. I'm concerned about #power (#politicalpower), #informationflows, and #socialnetworks. My politics are #Left (but not far left), and I worry about #democracy and its fragility. Talking to those I disagree with is hard but important. + #cooking, #baking, #Shabbat, #Jewish stuff, #singing, folk #dance, #kindness.

' Twitter has enabled people with absolutely no traditional access to power to speak to powerful elites directly, criticize them in the public square. How valuable this has been is evidenced by the fact that many of those elites are so consistently bemoaning “persecution.” '
