Selena Gomez‘s new album, Stars Dance, is out TODAY — and her Walmart Soundcheck just went live!The 21-year-old actress/singer chatted about her music, naming her album, and growing up. Check it:On naming the album: “The reason why I named the album ‘Stars Dance’ is because it was one of my favorite tracks on the album… when I recorded the song I knew that it was really special and it was going to be a great moment on tour and I just believe in that song.”On finding a balance: “I want to exude confidence in everything that I do. I’m messing up everyday, I don’t know what I’m doing and I just want to make sure I can be the best that I can be at whatever it is I’m doing – that day even… I want to take things and grab on it and full force just take on all these adventures and journeys.”On taking a break from music: “Being able to take a break from music was really fun for me. I was able to do other things that I really wanted to do. My series had ended that I was doing for four years and I just kind of wanted to take a moment to reflect on all the things that I got to experience, and it is actually something I’ve been wanting to do but just wanting to make sure I had the time to do it.”Watch her full performance at Walmart.com/Soundcheck!

Today's decision in Shelby v. Holder certainly ends the era which inspired me in my youth: the lunch counter sit-ins, ending the segregated southern school systems in the south, Misssippi Freedom summer to enforce voting rights. Today the conservative majority on the Supreme Court claims the Voting Rights Act forces the southern states to prove they don't discriminate - when they think it is clear that bygones should be bygones. We know that force isn't necessary to persuade them that a civil rights measure is unlawful - Seattle's voluntary school integration plan was stricken in another Roberts-led majority opinion. I don't know what motivates John Roberts or the other conservatives on the court - aside from a gut resistance to any public action to eliminate the effects of our legacy of slavery, segregation, and racism. As usual Andrew Koppleman has a perspective close to mine. - GWCThe Supreme Court's Voting Rights Blunderby Andrew Koppleman, Northwestern Law School "Roberts writes: “There is no denying ... that the conditions that originally justified these measures no longer characterize voting in the covered jurisdictions.” There is a sense in which this is trivially true, the way it’s true that you can never step into the same river twice. The real question is whether racism is still powerful enough in these places to justify federal intervention. Congress thinks it is. But Roberts is sure that he knows better. The other notorious fact is a wave of voter I.D. laws that are being enacted across the United States. These laws are being justified with the rationale that they are necessary to prevent voter fraud. But that’s a transparent lie. The evidence of such fraud actually occurring is nil. The real reason for such laws is that they reduce the voting rates of blacks and Hispanics, and therefore advantage Republican candidates. Racially motivated voter suppression is still with us. The Supreme Court has just made it easier."'via Blog this'
