5.8.2926 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Virginia Court Kills Redistricting Vote. NAACP Fights Tennessee Black District Attack The Virginia Supreme Court has overturned the Democrats' redistricting referendum in a 4-3 decision, stating that the Democrats did not follow the proper procedures. The NAACP has filed an emergency petition to block Tennessee's attempt to eliminate the state's only majority-Black congressional district, arguing that it violates the state constitution. Kristin Clarke will be joining us to discuss the lawsuit. In Alabama, chaos erupted in the State House as Republicans approved plans for new primary elections if courts allow GOP-drawn House districts to be used in the upcoming November midterm elections. Economist Morgan Harper will be here to analyze April's job report and the black unemployment statistics. Time is running out for a Black Tennessee death row inmate who may be executed for a crime he didn't commit. We'll speak with one of the individuals working to save his life.

EVERY BLACK PERSON SHOULD FILE A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST US GOVERNMENT FOR DENIAL OF LIFE, LIBERTY, JUSTICE FOR ALL, FOR TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION! TAKE THEIR MONEY THAT THEY KEEP STEALING FROM US IN LABOR, ARE TAXES, it’s no longer taxes but robbery upon the people. DO SOMETHING LORD! This evil is worse than NOAH DAYS.

What I believe is if the vote had gone in the other direction, it would have never been challenged or struck down. I live in Virginia, and I will vote a thousand times in whatever district they decide to put me in. The only way around this is if enough decent Republicans vote BLUE. We must get this corrupt regime out of office, or we will ALL suffer!
