The Grand Old Party is no longer hiding its efforts to do away with the voting Rights for non-republican people, PoC, students, ..pretty much anyone with the good sense not to vote for republican politicians.
Trump with Kris Kobach have their fraudulent voter suppression commission to purge people of their Right To Vote, but it doesn’t end there. Civil Rights are also under assault.
And then there is this report to add to the GOP Jim Crow agenda
Joy-Ann Reid discusses with voting rights expert Ari Berman, the current condition of Voting Rights in the land

Trump judge nominee Thomas Farr defended voter ID law
Donald Trump’s federal judge nominee Thomas Farr defended the defeated, controversial North Carolina voter ID law, but Ari Berman of The Nation tells Joy Reid he may soon hear similar cases if confirmed.
an after thought that — imo - needs more thinking on right now. Today.
To get right down to it, the GOP are reestablishing Jim Crow, and lying by calling it “voter integrity" Kris Kobach's "commission". Civil Rights are being curtailed all over the country by the GOP agenda.
Making America great again = the GOP’s Jim Crow redux. This time the GOP is”broadening it's base".,..
..that so-called party with a “big tent” to include All Persons of color are in their latest version of the GOP’s Jim Crow agenda — anyone who isn’t white iow’s
Those are my words and my accusation, not Joy-Ann Reid’s or Ari Berman’s, but my own.
This:
...the remaining Jim Crow laws were overruled by the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, but years of action and court challenges have been needed to unravel the many means of institutional discrimination.
note: a pinched nerve in my back has made it all but impossible to sit long enough to write a transcript of this excellent warning segment, and the facts presented from Joy-Ann Reid & Ari Berman...
I’m sorry about that, but massive discrimination is on a steep rise in this country and It really is worth watching, thinking about, and to help each of us in formulating plans to fight back against this assault on voting rights and democracy and justice and Civil liberties in so many important ways
