The Colony of Washington, D.C.

Statistically, the state with the highest black population by percentage in America is Mississippi; or is it? I came of age in Washington, D.C. in the 1970s and at the time D.C. had a predominantly black population, as it does now. The number of black residents has dwindled significantly. At...

Well, That Solves the Problem…?

Much like with the election of Barack Obama, after the Derek Chauvin conviction, America was quick to congratulate itself. The fallacy of a post-racial America turned out to be as foolish as the idea of a post-racial justice system. I can still see the self-congratulatory smiles from my white colleagues...

When you don’t get the Colored Gal, you Expected

Sen. John Kennedy Tries (And Fails) To Stump Stacey Abrams | The 11th Hour | MSNBC

Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) was born in the heart of the old Democratic south. He is a devout southerner, born in Mississippi, and attended college at both the University of Virginia and Vanderbilt in Tennessee. At age sixty-nine, I believe it is safe to say that the one-time southern Democrat,...

Republican congressman claims corporations standing up for voting rights is 'fascism'

Wait, I’m confused. I thought we lived in a free-market democracy in which corporations are “people” with sacrosanct “opinions” (which, for some reason, usually come in the form of gobs and gobs of campaign cash). So when corporations literally write their own legislation, it’s A-okay. That’s just what the Founding Fathers...

Mississippi official frets that greater ballot access will allow 'woke' college students to vote

There are a lot of people I’d like to keep home on Election Day—about 74 million, by last count. But they have every right to tick a sad little box for a bloviating mound of venal earwax, no matter what I think about it. I’ve also known my share of ignorant college...

Hank Aaron's grandson to Kelly Loeffler: 'Keep my grandfather's name out of your mouth'

Hank Aaron was a giant of a man, not just a legendary baseball player. Not only did he break Babe Ruth’s “unbreakable” home run record, he was also a civil rights hero who never missed a chance to fight for equality. Eventually his efforts led to a Presidential Medal of Freedom...

Take a Knee

It is a cruel irony that before the start of the trial of former officer Derek Chauvin the state of Minnesota is one of many placing the knee of racism on the neck of black American voters. It is also not lost on me that Colin Kaepernick was denied his...

Kemp Snagged by GOP Vote Suppression

In 2018, Brian Kemp, then Georgia Secretary of State and in charge of elections, used that office to help get himself elected governor by playing all kinds of voter suppression games. The GOP expanded that suppression nationwide in 2020, including restricting the time for processing mail-in ballots and when they...

How to Win Texas in Spite of GOP Scams

This morning the Supreme Court refused to expedite a case brought by the Texas Democratic Party suing to remove absentee ballot restrictions. Right now, in Texas, you can request an absentee ballot without giving a reason if you are 65 or over, but younger folks have to meet one of...

A white Mississippi elections official is 'concerned' with 'the blacks' and their voter drives

Jones County Election Commissioner Gail Harrison Welch posted this nugget on her Facebook. Her defense is that she thought it was a private message.  I’m a Election Commissioner in Jones County. I’m concerned about voter registration in Mississippi. The blacks are having lots events for voter registration. People in Mississippi have to...

Fox poll shows Americans overwhelmingly support mail-in voting

We already know why Donald Trump hates the idea of mail-in voting. If citizens can easily exercise their right to vote, Republicans won’t do so well. That’s why the GOP is the voter-suppression party. Voter ID is one method they’ve used to tamp down participation. Another recent (failed) tactic was forcing...

First it was Brenda Snipes, the Broward Co. elections chief who was suspended by Rick Scott and replaced with his top lawyer, Pete Antonacci, a shady rightwing Republican.

Meanwhile, 2400 Texas voter registrations rejected right before deadline—all from Dem counties

Before I say anything else: If you are from Texas, check your voter registration right now. Especially if you used Vote.org to register to vote. Why? With the Kavanaugh distraction, right-wing officials at the Secretary of State identified a great time to do this: More than 2,000 potential voters in Texas had their voters’...

No, Washington Post, President Obama did NOT “suggest requiring everyone to vote”

Originally posted at Eclectablog. Ya gotta admit, it's terrific clickbait, though, right? Yesterday, the Washington Post ran a piece titled “Obama suggests requiring everyone to vote”. It was total clickbait that went nuts on Facebook. Other media outlets followed suit but it was the WashPo piece that went viral. And...
