Anyone else notice this?
Well, anyone else besides those of us who care about things like equal rights and fairness and equality, anyway?
Anyone notice how shameful and ironic and hypocritical, all, that, at the same time, the Right Wing and Republicans are pushing voter ID laws to cull and shorten the voting lists across Missouri, Kansas, other states and, indeed, the nation, the US Supreme Court is also considering whether we need the 1964 Voting Rights Act still?
All at the same time.
As if racism somehow magically went away. Far from it. We know better. We know far better.
The now more hidden, more nuanced, subversive racism of today is far more sinister, too.
And the wonderful thing about pushing for these voter ID laws, along with the racism, is that it helps shorten the voter lists for the handicapped and elderly and minorities, usually, frequently, as the Republicans so well know.
That they can do this in broad daylight, too, is stunning.
Shameful and disgusting but stunning, certainly.
If you can, if you would, please go here to contact your legislator and tell them we don't want "Jim Crow" laws back in Missouri:
