WELCOME! Good to have you here.


You have power. Use it wisely. Make it matter.

At Lucy Left you're encouraged to leave comments, keeping this request in mind: Say what you mean and mean what you say, just don't say it mean. Lucy's not a fan of vitriol. This is a place to find information and opinion, a place to have a laugh now and then and to feel less alone in the political madness.

Be well, speak up for what is right and true (even if your voice shakes), and come back soon!

"Day in Court" for the Voting Rights Act


Today, the US Supreme Court begins hearing Shelby County v. Holder--a challenge to Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act (VRA). Section 5 requires certain states and jurisdictions to seek approval from the U.S. Department of Justice before they change laws around voting. Show your support for VRA by sharing this graphic today as we rally on the steps of the Supreme Court of the United States. —

Thanks to the NAACP for posting this on Facebook.   Still nervous about what the Court will decide; hearing a variety of speculation, but it sounds like the argument for continuing this provision went well.
