This act was signed into law on August 6, 1965, by President Lyndon Johnson.It outlawed the discriminatory voting practices adopted in many southern states after the Civil War, including literacy tests as a prerequisite to voting.(if that’s true, there are millions voting that aren’t literate. They should have to take a test to be allowed to vote)

This “act to enforce the fifteenth amendment to the Constitution” was signed into law 95 years after the amendment was ratified.In those years, African Americans in the South faced tremendous obstacles to voting, including poll taxes, literacy tests, and other bureaucratic restrictions to deny them the right to vote. They also risked harassment, intimidation, economic reprisals, and physical violence when they tried to register or vote.As a result, African-American voter registration was limited, along with political power.

In 1964, numerous peaceful demonstrations were organized by Civil Rights leaders, and the considerable violence they were met with brought renewed attention to the issue of voting rights. The murder of voting-rights activists in Mississippi and the attack by white state troopers on peaceful marchers in Selma, Alabama, gained national attention and persuaded PresidentJohnson and Congress to initiate meaningful and effective national voting rights legislation. The combination of public revulsion to the violence andJohnson's political skills stimulated Congress to pass the voting rights bill on August 5, 1965.

The legislation, which President Johnson signed into law the next day,outlawed literacy tests and provided for the appointment of federal examiners (with the power to register qualified citizens to vote) in those jurisdictions that were "covered" according to a formula provided in the statute. In addition, Section 5 of the act required covered jurisdictions to obtain "preclearance" from either the District Court for the District of Columbia or the U.S. Attorney General for any new voting practices and procedures. Section 2, which closely followed the language of the 15th amendment,applied a nationwide prohibition of the denial or abridgment of the right to vote on account of race or color. The use of poll taxes in national elections had been abolished by the 24th amendment (1964) to the Constitution; the Voting Rights Act directed the Attorney General to challenge the use of poll taxes in state and local elections. In Harper v. Virginia State Board of Elections, 383 U.S. 663 (1966), the Supreme Court held Virginia's poll tax to be unconstitutional under the 14th amendment.

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was the most significant statutory change in the relationship between the federal and state governments in the area of voting since the Reconstruction period following the Civil War; and it was immediately challenged in the courts. Between 1965 and 1969, the Supreme Court issued several key decisions upholding the constitutionality of Section 5 and affirming the broad range of voting practices for which preclearance was required. [See South Carolina v. Katzenbach, 383 U.S. 301, 327-28 (1966) and Allen v. State Board of Elections, 393 U.S. 544 (1969)] In 2013, the Court struck down a key provision of the act involving federal oversight of voting rules in nine states.

The Voting Rights Act had an immediate impact. By the end of 1965, a quarter of a million new Black voters had been registered, one-third by federal examiners. By the end of 1966, only four out of 13 southern states had fewer than 50 percent of African Americans registered to vote. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was readopted and strengthened in 1970, 1975, and 1982.

(I can’t find what Abby said, this act was violated. She just says shit and lies to get dem outrage.)

NNSA Removes Highly Enriched Uranium from Venezuela, Reducing Risk to South America and the U.S. Homeland

The safe removal of all enriched uranium from Venezuela sends another signal to the world of a restored and renewed Venezuela. Thanks to President Trump’s decisive leadership, the teams finished in months what would have normally taken years.

Urgent Operation Demonstrated Unique Nonproliferation Capabilities and Close Cooperation with International Partners

WASHINGTON — In a win for America, Venezuela, and the world, the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration (DOE/NNSA), working with partners, completed the removal of all remaining enriched uranium from a legacy research reactor in Venezuela.

“The safe removal of all enriched uranium from Venezuela sends another signal to the world of a restored and renewed Venezuela,” said Brandon Williams, NNSA Administrator. “Thanks to President Trump’s decisive leadership, the dedicated teams on the ground completed in months what would have normally taken years.”

President Trump and Secretary of State Rubio’s three-phase plan for Venezuela fast-tracked the retirement of this nuclear risk, marking another historic milestone for DOE. Following DOE Secretary Wright’s visit to Venezuela in February, in a matter of weeks, NNSA’s Office of Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation (DNN) worked with Department of State personnel in Washington and Caracas alongside experts from the United Kingdom, the Venezuelan Ministry of Science and Technology, and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to prepare for a site assessment to inform removal planning.

For decades, the RV-1 reactor supported physics and nuclear research. Once that work finished in 1991, its uranium, enriched above the crucial 20 percent threshold, became surplus material.

To secure this surplus material, the DNN team and technical experts from the Venezuelan Institute for Scientific Research safely removed 13.5 kilograms (about 30 pounds) of uranium from the RV-1 reactor less than six weeks after their initial site visit. Working in close cooperation with the IAEA throughout, the team securely packaged the uranium into a spent fuel cask.

The group then escorted the material 100 miles overland to a Venezuelan port. There, they transferred the cargo to a specialized carrier supplied by the U.K.’s Nuclear Transport Solutions. The vessel carried the material to the United States arriving on U.S. shores in early May. Upon arrival, U.S. teams unloaded the casks and transported them to the Savannah River Site (SRS) for processing and reuse.

Dr. Matt Napoli, DNN’s Deputy Administrator, traveled to Venezuela to oversee the operation.

“I couldn’t be prouder of the men and women who carried out this vital mission,” Dr. Napoli said. “NNSA’s long history in removing nuclear material and the team’s extensive know-how were key to this success. I would also like to extend my appreciation to our Venezuelan partners for finalizing this material removal and establishing the foundation for future cooperation.”

A deadly bacterium is creeping up the US east coast. How worried should we be?

Warming ocean waters are priming beaches and raw shellfish for Vibrio even as scientists are trying to stay one step ahead

Bailey Magers and Sunil Kumar cut strange figures on Pensacola Beach. Bags of disinfectant solution surrounded them on the white sand; their gloved hands juggled test tubes while layers of rubber and plastic shielded their skin from the elements. As the two organized their seawater samples on the popular Florida shoreline last August, an older woman wearing a swimsuit walked over to ask what they were doing.

“We’re just actively monitoring water quality,” they told her, but she pressed on.

“Are you looking for that flesh-eating bacteria?”

“We’re looking into it,” they replied, hoping not to frighten her. The woman turned back toward the ocean, her curiosity satisfied. As she walked away, Kumar noticed that she had scrapes and bruises on her body. A few minutes later, he watched her step into the waves. He shook off a chill and returned to the task at hand.

Magers and Kumar study a bacterium called Vibrio, part of a lineage of ancient marine species that likely emerged sometime around the Paleozoic era. Researchers think there are more than 70 Vibrio species in the environment today, hundreds of millions of years later. The organisms float in warm, brackish water, attaching themselves to plankton and algae and accumulating in prolific water-filtering species such as clams and oysters.

A small number of Vibrio species can sicken and even kill. In worst-case scenarios, a person who has been exposed to the most dangerous of them – by swimming in brackish water with an open wound or ingesting a piece of raw shellfish that is contaminated with the toxin – may find themselves with only hours before the flesh on one or more extremities starts to bruise, swell and decay. Without the quick aid of powerful antibiotics, septic shock can set in and lead to death. Anyone can get infected, though it is much more likely in people who have liver disease or are immunocompromised, elderly people or people who are diabetic.

Netanyahu says Iran war is ‘not over’ as Trump rejects latest Iranian offer(he’s been told to shut up, he always needs the spotlight)

SUN, MAY 10 20264:28 PM EDT

KEY POINTS

• Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the war with Iran is “not over,” as the U.S. and Israel still aim to end Tehran’s nuclear ambitions.

• Netanyahu’s comments come ahead of President Donald Trump’s travel to China later this week, where he’s expected to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

• The Wall Street Journal reported details of Iran’s response to the latest U.S. proposal to end the war.

(Bibi would make the U.S. stay forever. He’s pissed Trump got all the media and not him. He had to know before the announcement by the U.S., so he shits on Trump by doing this.)

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday that the war with Iran is “not over,” as the U.S. and Israel still aim to bring an end to Tehran’s nuclear ambitions.

“There’s still nuclear material, enriched uranium that has to be taken out of Iran,” he said in a taped interview on CBS’s “60 Minutes” that is set to air Sunday night. “There is still enrichment sites that have to be dismantled, there’s still proxies that Iran supports, there are ballistic missiles that they still want to produce … there’s work to be done.”

Pressed for how the U.S. and Israel would remove the nuclear material, Netanyahu said: “You go in, and you take it out.”

Netanyahu’s comments come ahead of President Donald Trump’s expected trip to China later this week, where he’s expected to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping. The war and the subsequent closure of the Strait of Hormuz by Iran have spiked global energy costs and sharply raised gas prices in the U.S.

Washington and Tehran are trying to negotiate a peace deal through mediators in Pakistan, but the pact remains elusive.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday rejected an Iranian counteroffer to a U.S. proposal to end the war, calling it “TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!” in a post on Truth Social.

The Wall Street Journal on Sunday reported details of Iran’s latest response.

ANALYSIS

Iran runs dry as Islamic Republic funds ideology and foreign proxies

Families of protesting farmers sit on the dry bed of the Zayandeh Rud River in Iran’s Isfahan during a protest gathering in November 2021.

Iran’s water crisis is not only about scarcity or drought. It is also about where the Islamic Republic chooses to spend the country’s money, and what it leaves unfunded at home.

In a system wherepolitical and ideological objectives consistently outweigh environmental sustainability and public welfare, even severe and widely recognized crises fail to trigger meaningful correction.

In this sense, Iran’s water crisis is not a failure of resources, it is a consequence of deliberate choices. The impact of decades of misguided water engineering and policy decisions is already visible across Iran’s water systems.

Major lakes and wetlands such as Urmia Lake have shrunk. Groundwater has been depleted across more than half of the country’s plains, land subsidence is accelerating, and per capita water availability has fallen to near or below 1,000 cubic meters.

At the same time, access to reliable drinking water has become increasingly uncertain. Water quality is declining because of inadequate wastewater treatment and aging infrastructure, while policy still emphasizes large-scale agricultural self-sufficiency despite mounting environmental constraints.

It would be easy to assume that these failures could stem partially from financial limitations. But this is not a story of absolute constraint. Even under sanctions, Iran has continued to generate substantial revenues, particularly from oil exports, over the past decade.

The water crisis is not necessarily due to a lack of resources, but how those resources are allocated. Based on Iran’s FY1404 (2025-2026) public budget, significant funding is still directed toward religious and ideological institutions, amounting to roughly $750 to $860 million annually, depending on exchange rates.

At the same time, Iran’s regional activities, including support for groups such as Hezbollah, Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the Houthis, and allied militias, are widely estimated, based on publicly reported figures, to cost an additional $1.1 to $1.5 billion each year.

These estimates reflect direct financial transfers and likely understate total support, which also includes substantial non-cash assistance such as weapons, equipment, and logistical backing.

In total, nearly $1.8 to $2.4 billion per year is allocated to priorities that do little to address Iran’s most urgent domestic challenges. Even redirecting a portion of these resources toward water management and infrastructure could support large-scale, practical solutions. Over a five-year period, such a shift would mobilize roughly $10 billion, enough to move beyond short-term fixes and begin addressing some of the structural drivers of Iran’s water crisis.

Former DNC Chair Donna Brazile OBLITERATED her own far-left narrative that blacks need illegally racially drawn congressional maps in the South.

“Look, we have black representatives… who represent largely [white districts].”

“Utah has had two blacks… they’re Republicans.”

“We got a black Democrat out in Rhode Island. We got a black Democrat in Washington State.”

Why is Brazil’e is even around there. She’s going down!
