"World" for everyone else is odd to me, North America/Oceana is odd to me considering how commonwealth countries in the Oceana region are under the U.K monarchy. So why is it not grouped with Europe which it is about as far from geographically as the northern american continent anyway. What about the geographic region of micronesia through polynesia? Are they in the same economic category as the north americas? Making a bigger graph with more specific categories would actually be more informative of economic disparity here. Kind of weird categorising going on

CeCe Rogers on Facebook writes: "Two Black Tennessee lawmakers were physically escorted out of chambers this week while Republicans quietly held a hearing to approve gerrymandered maps that would eliminate the state's only majority-Black congressional district.

No referendum. No special election. No public vote.

Because they know what happens when voters actually get a say — just look at Virginia, where the people spoke so loudly that Republicans had to drag the courts in to override them.

This isn't new. During Reconstruction, Black Americans held more congressional seats than at any point in the prior 90 years of American history. And white supremacists spent the next several decades tearing that down, through gerrymandering, poll taxes, and voter intimidation.

150 years later, the same tools. Different suits.

The audacity of escorting Black lawmakers out of their own chambers while dismantling Black political representation, and then telling us the courts aren't political, is breathtaking. These are the same courts they're counting on to make it stick.
