Here is the article @taniel.bsky.social refers to. It is exactly the type of reporting and analysis we need, clarifying the stakes and how the struggle for Black political representation is not just about Congress, but affects the lives of people in very concrete ways on the local level:

The Supreme Court may further erode the Voting Rights Act in an upcoming decision. Beyond affecting Congress, that would reverberate across local governments nationwide.
I really appreciate how @thomaszimmer.bsky.social kindly mentions & discusses Bolts' reporting on racism & voting rights in West Tennessee: thomaszimmer.substack.com/p/america-is...
Especially since this is the same article that the NYT decided to lift & rewrite with no acknowledgment or citation.
