A Small Sign of Sanity

I'm assuming you've heard the many terrible news stories of recent days involving killings of Black men and women by police or former police, or white women calling the police on Black men for no reason. So I'm not going to write about any of those stories.

Instead, one piece of good news: A couple of days ago, a federal judge ruled in the Jones v. DeSantis case that Florida Republicans' pay-to-vote scheme is unconstitutional. If someone can't afford to pay court fines or restitution, they can't be banned from voting. (Duh.)

The Southern Poverty Law Center posted the full court decision here.
