Louisiana resident speaks up.
Your party is in a death spiral. That's why you have to redistrict.
...
The MAGA party is the last breath of the confederacy.
.
The suffering that he caused to everybody in this Country and Worldwide.
Bluesky post.
Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end.
Speak your truth, fight and believe.
