Aaron's activity on May 4 centered heavily on the Supreme Court's intervention in Louisiana's congressional redistricting, a story with significant implications for voting rights and racial representation. He reposted commentary from The Downballot highlighting the striking double standard in SCOTUS's behavior: the Court has historically blocked lower court rulings that would alter maps close to an election, yet here it rushed to allow Louisiana Republicans to redraw a map while an election was already in progress. He also amplified analysis from Balls and Strikes arguing that in rewriting the Voting Rights Act, the Republican justices effectively had to rewrite the Constitution itself — specifically the Fifteenth Amendment — making the ruling a threat to any future congressional effort to build a multiracial democracy. That piece focused on Alito's concurring opinion joined by Thomas and Gorsuch.
Aaron also reposted commentary pointing out that Louisiana Republicans appeared to be leaning toward eliminating the New Orleans-anchored majority-Black district in their remapped plan, and that this kind of Republican state preemption of majority-minority urban representation receives far less national media attention than stories about Republican voters feeling overlooked in blue states. Two brief posts — one expressing enthusiasm for an unnamed TV series and one questioning whether something was intended as sarcasm — rounded out a lighter day otherwise dominated by the Louisiana redistricting story.
