3 X a RATTLER 🐍 #BADSTmade #FAMUmade DOC B #Fall2025 @FAMU_1887

I am officially a published author 💫🎓✨

That’s a wrap on the 25/26 year…see you in the Fall for another round.

Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach. The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.

Florida is being asked to redraw congressional maps just a few years after they were put in place. No new census data. No court order. No traditional trigger. This isn’t how the process is supposed to work, and it raises serious concerns about where we’re headed.

Thank you @KidFury @ThisIsTheRead for speaking our beloved Nancy Metayer’s name. You purposeful pause to advocate is exactly what our girl stood for : podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas… #BeLikeNancy 🧡

Thank you Katherine Johnson #KatherineJohnson #NASA

Pretty wild, @GovRonDeSantis. You’ve been quick to remove elected state attorneys who said they wouldn’t enforce the law. Pretty quiet now that it’s your hand-picked Attorney General.

We are honoring her lifelong commitment to justice, equality, and resilience by establishing the Nancy Metayer Endowment, a permanent fund dedicated to uplifting her life and legacy. #BeLikeNancy gofund.me/51aab9cfe
