In a 5-4 decision, SCOTUS agreed that Alabama restricted voting access in its gerrymandered electoral map, which centralized Black Americans into a single district. The court said the state violated the Voting Rights Act because the map was racially polarized — especially since more than a quarter of the state's population is Black. The justices also found that Alabama's Black population is large enough to create a second district. Now, the court is demanding that Alabama redraw the electoral maps for 2024. Redistricting is not only an issue in Alabama. States like New York and Louisiana could also see their district lines change before 2024. And Also...This Where there could be new parental controls... Louisiana. Earlier this week, the state's lawmakers unanimously passed a bill requiring anyone under 18 to get parental consent before creating social media and online gaming accounts. The measure would also allow parents or guardians to nix agreements kids may have signed to access platforms like TikTok or Instagram. Now, the bill heads to Gov. John Bel Edwards (D-LA), who hasn't yet said if he'll sign it. If he does, then the measure would go into effect in August 2024. It comes as other states like Utah and Arkansas have passed similar bills. What's raising concerns… Forever chemicals. Earlier this week, a new study revealed that children whose mothers were exposed to PFAS during pregnancy are more likely to have a low birth weight and become obese later in life.
