I would submit that a gerrymander by politicians saying fuck the voters and one by voters saying fuck the politicians are two wholly different animals

Amazing how this just keeps happening

American combat deaths in World War I: 54,000.
American soldiers killed by flu in World War I: 45,000.
They would have given anything for a flu vaccine.

Ossoff: "You were talking earlier about Jared Kushner. The guy leading our diplomacy in the Middle East is bringing in billions from Middle Eastern princes and sheiks and going around the region asking for billions more while he conducts nuclear diplomacy on behalf of the country. It's obscene."

Jesus wasn’t even married you dumbass

A Christian economy?

Universal healthcare
A livable wage
Debt forgiveness
Care for the orphan widow and stranger

future generations will need a series of textbooks just to explainhow this dumb question became a litmus test because these fascists were so stupid and their leader so far up his own arsehole that they couldnt even just lie about what they thought to get into power

ICE detained more than 70 Minnesota children, data reveals Immigration officials detained more than 70 Minnesota children between Dec. 1 and March 10, a Sahan analysis of court records and federal deportation data shows.

“This is a systemic violent act, to be detaining children, that has long-term consequences,” Kelley said. “It’s massively detrimental to the well-being of these families and our whole communities.”

Democrats Once Loathed Gerrymandering. Now They’re Pushing for It.

The words "North Carolina," and "Missouri" do not appear in this piece of shit article.

Neither does the word "decade."

"Florida" and "Texas" appear in subordinate clauses, after words like "After Virginia ..." and "Gov. Gavin Newsom of California framed ..."

Democrats getting more backlash for attempting redistricting in Virginia in response to completely unprecedented GOP powergrabs than Republicans have gotten for gerrymandering for decades is extremely grim shit ngl.

unless and until republicans agree to a ceasefire in the form of strict anti-gerrymandering provisions: fuck them to hell, squeeze every last drop of blood from the stone, lock them out of every seat you can

The Mask is Off: Major Anti-Abortion Group Calls for Arrest of Abortion Patients Students for Life says it should be "an easy vote"

Me, who lived in a gerrymandered to fuck NC district for 10 years, to my SIL, a nice liberal Virginian who thinks gerrymandering is bad: “LISTEN to me. The GOP targeted black voters with “surgical precision” bec they LIT.ER.AL.LY do not want black people to VOTE you have to do this to FUCK THEM UP”

Have you…lived with rural white people? Because I have and “economic and racial justice” is not really their thing

I think it great to have psychedelics for therapy (and fun), but it is so weird to have a federal government that is actively trying to end vaccines and no mRNA therapies while going Wild West on these. I think the best framework for RFKjr is “new age kook”

Joe Biden geared a tremendous amount of the ample economic and industrial legislation he got passed at red/rural areas in particular. Their thanks for that was to vote in even higher numbers for the guy that promised to nuke all that fresh investment that was sent their way.

SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “The faithless president depicts himself as Christ while he plunges the nation into wars of choice… Remember — While you pay more for everything, the First Family’s wealth is growing by billions. Because they’re crooks, and everybody knows it.”

Beginning to think that the Trump presidential library, like TrumpCoin, or in an earlier era, his hotels, is just a useful front for processing bribes to the President.

This is an embarrassing but not shocking indictment of legacy news media in the U.S.

All federal wind power R&D at the Department of Energy is $0.137 billion. So the government is paying 7x the amount it spends on all wind power R&D just for a fee to kill one wind project. Seems bad.

can this be a solution?

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

i really wish "children are people and people are not property" was not a radical opinion but unfortunately it's the central question up for debate with much of politics

Aerial view of large scale devastation inflicted on the southern Lebanese town of Bint Jbeil, with an Israeli tank parked in the center of the photo.

This is what Israel has done to Bint Jbeil, my hometown in southern Lebanon

the modern miracles of compound interest and capital gains have allowed our wealthiest to accumulate more wealth at a faster pace than at any point in human history, and at a time where they have no enforced corresponding social obligations. that's an entirely new problem

Arguing that if only we’d chosen someone better (however that’s defined) than Clinton or Harris or Mills people wouldn’t have chosen to vote for the worst person alive or a nobody with a Nazi tattoo grants too much and absolves ppl of their terrible choices

💯

I really wish more people had paid attention when several observers tried to warn about the technofascist and eugenicist tendencies of thiel and karp and that group, for rolling up on two decades, now.

And i *Really* wish the media & political actors would take the threat of them seriously, today 😕

hope is that over the next twenty years we shift the opinion around the ivy league. it’s not the best and brightest. it’s a daycare camp for the richest and most dysfunctional children in america.

real scholars go to michigan. they go to ucla and north carolina. they go georgia tech.
