A reminder while Republicans bitch about Dems finishing the redistricting fight they started: they have full control of gov’t— they can pass a law banning gerrymandering any time they want. They won’t. Republicans aren’t mad gerrymandering exists; they’re mad that they’re not the only ones using it.
It is, yes! I propose we force them to give it up by gerrymandering so damn hard that a supermajority of Democrats in Congress can make gerrymandering illegal.
The apparent theory here--SPLC was defrauding donors by paying right-wing extremist org informants, and also took completely legal steps for obscuring the money trail for very obvious reasons on this totally legal thing to do--is ludicrous even by the notoriously malleable standard for wire fraud.
hah!
This seems pretty unenforceable / un-useful in practice, no?
If I'm @lol_koolguy98 on a private insta account, how would they even know?
Conversely why not just create @superpatriotMURCAluv4547 full of fawning posts and submit that?
Because we get asked a lot.
Palantir delenda est.
This is not what Prince would've wanted.
If you want generation, here you go.
And I'd somewhat flippantly argue that snow is a problem only insofar as electricity is generally so cheap that it's not cost effective to pay somebody to go brush off the damned panels.

Solar is so cheap now it can be dispatchable in the sense that you can turn some of it off most of the time, just so you can turn it on when needed, and be profitable!
Nuclear power is so washed at this point lol. It's only marginal if you could turn new reactors on tomorrow, but absolutely washed when considering realistic timelines. Solar and storage has totally undermined its niche
We (or those with the levers of real power) had a week+ do do something about the madman and chose to do nothing; now we're all anxiously awaiting Armageddon again. Good times, good times.
People are urging participants in the White House Correspondents’ Dinner to wear pro-1st Amendment pocket squares or take a bathroom break when “guest of honor” Trump speaks.
I have a better idea: Cancel the damn dinner.
Trump broke the US economy and ruined our fiscal situation and it's not going to be a pleasant path back.
So you have to make sure someone pays dearly for it. Preferably ppl who participated in the abuses and theft.
It's also going to be the only message that can ease the political costs of the austerity Dems will have no choice but to inflict in order to avoid a sovereign debt crisis or hyperinflation.
"These specific people stole your future and we're going to take everything from them."
The only way we unfuck our country is through a puritanical anti-corruption drive. We need to rip out a vast substrate of corrupt elites and marginalize an even larger contingent of mere incompetents and cowards.
Ppl need to be terrified of the white-collar criminal laws of the United States again.
it's remarkable how crazy this video is, especially in light of what we just learned in that Atlantic article
Thank you for coming to my grumpy Ted Talk.
Why does Garmin have like 200+ watch variants?
It must be a marketing, manufacturing and stocking nightmare.
And the differences between close models are like "oh this one has 'Night Advisor(tm)'" ... ok?
As someone who actually /wants/ a Garmin watch I'm baffled when it comes to the choices.
Hey, Beshear, Lis Smith, & associated Majority Dem-types:
If you want to kill group-speak, how about we start with “officer-involved shooting,” “ice agent involved-shooting,” “weaponized vehicle” & other mealy-mouthed obfuscations of state-sanctioned murder?
Random maga lady talking my ear off at a hotel in CA explaining how bad all the liberal polices are and also feeling “blessed” that her 20-something son was still on their health insurance after his terrible accident 🫠
KASUBHAI, United States District Judge: Unserious leaders are unsafe. There is nothing more serious than our leaders' dedication to the rule of law so that we might maintain the integrity of our constitutional democracy. This case highlights a leader's unserious regard for the rule of law. This case demonstrates how disregard for the rule of law does not merely result in an abstract infraction. Rather, and tragically, this case is one of a long list of examples of how a leader's wanton disregard for the rule of law causes very real harm to very real people.
“Unserious leaders are unsafe” is a fucking banger though
86yo? Doubt.
Quaint.
All. Three.
Be sure to read the whole thing.
This is crazy. Just open-air larceny.
"Those taxes you just paid? The money is going straight into Trump's pocket" would be good messaging
Jesus loves me
