So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out

Must watch tv !
With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.
We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.
Please stand by for more.
Excited that InfoWars has switched sides in the infowars
That’s right

Over just five days, the justices had decided the issue. Even as they debated the Obama plan’s possible burden on the power industry, in the entire chain of correspondence obtained by The Times, not a single justice, conservative or liberal, mentioned the dangers of a warming planet as one of the possible harms the court should consider.
Another data point in “originalism is a fraud.” So much for the law is the law we can’t think about the impact. They rail against “results oriented judging” in public but when their corporate clients make requests they know exactly what to do. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...
For the Pedro Vargas Llosa fans in the house, we have officially reached the Fiesta Del Chivo stage of US press freedom.
This is what happens at concentration camps
Una probadita de lo que significa la “libertad de prensa” en EEUU.

Nationally known expert and former FBI agent Mike German testified at today’s hearing: Unfortunately the policies that might protect Americans from this kind of intelligence abuse have yet to catch up.
It’s time for CA to meet the moment! 8/
SB 1095 will expose the truth about what’s happening behind fusion centers’ closed doors AND protect Californians from abuses. It will protect our sensitive personal information from being used for racial profiling or ICE abductions 6/
"Fusion Centers" have access to info from license plate readers, social media, DMV, and so many other sources. Who is the room? How is this used? If ICE gets this data into the claws of its massive surveillance machine, they’ll use it to carry out even more abductions. 5/
Fusion centers are also improperly laundering information to ICE. Emails released back in 2019 revealed “a years-long relationship between an ICE officer and a detective in a fusion center” in Orange County, CA. They may really be “data deportation centers” 4/ www.aclu.org/news/immigra...
What we know:
They’ve spied on people exercising free speech.
Targeted Black Lives Matter protesters and Pro-Choice advocates.
Often singled out American Muslims for unwarranted scrutiny. Distributed error-filled reports.

You’ve probably never heard of a “Fusion Center.” But a Fusion Center has probably heard of you 👀 They operate largely in secret and collect a terrifying amount of our private data: who we are, where we go, what we do, who we know. 2/

BREAKING: SB 1095, "Expose Data Deportation Centers," by @senatorsrp.bsky.social just PASSED out of the CA Senate's Privacy Committee!
We're proud to co-sponsor this bill, the first-EVER in CA to seek transparency and accountability from secretive, shadowy entities known as “Fusion Centers.” 1/
