One week after Alexei Navalny’s death, Oleg Orlov, a 70-year-old human rights advocate and co-chairman of the Nobel Prize winning human rights group Memorial, was sentenced to 2 years, 11 months in a penal colony.

Alexei Navalny’s death requires me to remind Putin apologists that the ultimate form of vote suppression is assassinating your opponents. Navalny's sacrifice follows in the footsteps of Boris Nemtsov whom Putin assassinated in 2015 after he called for a protest against the first invasion of Ukraine.

In a recent court filing, 2000 Mules gangsters, True the Vote, admitted that they didn’t have any back up whatsoever for their claims that Black people got $10 per ballot to vote several times and stuffed them in dropboxes.

We need to return to the swing state of Georgia where they've removed 75% of the ballot dropboxes in the Black-majority counties, while increasing the number of dropboxes in white counties.

I can’t make this up.

But I can expose it. With your help.

This year, the state of Georgia has just purged 189,000 voters from the voter rolls. Overwhelmingly — no points for guessing — voters of color. How do they do it? Read our FREE comic...

Indiana has not had A SINGLE CASE OF VOTER IMPERSONATION FRAUD IN 100 YEARS OF RECORD-KEEPING. This is a law not to prevent a crime — which doesn’t exist — but to prevent voting by people whom the GOP guardians of the ballot box would keep away….

Even the right wing Daily Mail is reporting on Florida’s recent purge: "Mystery grows as 1 million voters have been purged from Florida's rolls as number of registered Democrats drops by nearly 10% while Republicans only lose 3% of registered voters.”

In a world which celebrates righteous violence, we so easily dismiss the difficult wisdom of the man Martin Luther King called his “guiding light,” Mohandas Gandhi, that freedom won by the blood of others is freedom not worth having. And it is not freedom. #MLKDay2024

A federal court in Georgia ruled that a challenge to 360,000 Georgians’ right to vote—suspiciously targeting Black voters—does not violate the Voting Rights Act. The judge cited “lack of evidentiary support”—but he refused to hear the evidence featured in our film Vigilante.

Set your hair on fire right now, because a recent ruling by the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals virtually repeals the last living section of the Voting Rights Act.

Last week, Trump-appointed judges permanently barred the NAACP and other private litigants from suing government voting rights violators. Only the government itself may to sue to stop itself from committing gross racial vote suppression — no kidding!!!

Osage Principal Chief Geoffrey Standing Bear—one of Oklahoma’s top trial lawyers—is officially designated “incompetent” by the US govt’s Bureau of Indian Affairs. Here, he shows me the official book that lists him as “incompetent” — along with other Osage who graduated from Stanford and Oxford.

This is truly the end of the Voting Rights Act: A federal court has ruled that citizens may not sue governments that commit crimes against voting by Americans of color — and that only the government, that is, those who commit the voting crimes, may sue.
