Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the stateâs racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end.

Lived in Tennessee for over 20 years. Beautiful country. Ugly, ugly politics with a Christian veneer to hide the raw hate and ignorance.
Kudos to this man for speaking the truth.
