Remember, Democrats have repeatedly advanced measures to ban partisan gerrymandering and Republicans have voted against them time after time.

This is the game Republicans wanted to play. OK, then.

You ever try to code switch at work and fail? 😂

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

A reminder that the number one domestic terror threat in America remains white supremacist and right-wing terrorism.

How many times has the Trump Administration talked about this threat? What have they done to stop it?

Oh yeah, they're part of MAGA. Nevermind.

Let's go after SPLC instead!

Maybe it's just me but I don't think Jeffrey Epstein's clients should be the ones to decide if Jeffrey Epstein's clients should be prosecuted.

Nobody is safe as long as this man is in office. Impeach now.

A lot of federal govt workers in Virginia. Trump and co hurt them worse than a recession.

We finally have what you've all been waiting for: the final result of Loudoun County.

(Anyone who followed the 2024 count remembers Loudoun.)

The YES won by 21%, with 144K ballots counted.

A very strong result (as we're seeing throughout NoVa): Spanberger won here by 29%, and Jones by only 19%.

🚨🚨BREAKING: In a huge victory for Democrats that will greatly increase their odds of winning back the House in November, Virginia voters have APPROVED the redistricting referendum.

Q: What do Megyn Kelly, Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Alex Jones, and Marjorie Taylor Greene all have in common?

A: They have all turned against Donald Trump for reasons other than him raping children.

It’s kind of astonishing how many news outlets have published versions of a “Tucker Carlson apologized for telling people to support Trump” story by writers who very clearly did not listen to the podcast.

Oh that's great, I'm sure the staff will enjoy that.
How about the cost of nursing homes? The average is $10K a month, does that seem right? I don't know many families that can afford that.

Southern Poverty Law Center indicted on federal fraud charges by Alabama grand jury Justice department’s inquiry focused on the civil rights organization’s prior use of paid informants to monitor hate groups, the CEO said

The Trump regime doesn’t like the Southern Poverty Law Center labeling hate groups as hate groups, so it’s weaponizing the Justice Department to try to destroy the SPLC. This is DOJ taking the side of the Klan.

Look at this chart.

Tax cuts for the rich are a policy choice. Cutting the social safety net in exchange for them is a policy choice.

States like New York have an opportunity to help undo this trickle down nonsense by raising taxes on the rich (who will still be rich).

I hope Gov. Hochul does.

IF YOU’RE IN LINE TO GET CONTROL OF THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ, STAY IN LINE

Trump fought to keep the ballroom fundraising contract secret. Here’s what’s in it. The agreement governing hundreds of millions in private donations was kept secret until a watchdog group sued and a judge ordered it disclosed.

just saw someone call Kash Patel “J Edgar Boozer” and need to lie down

Aside from who started it, states like CA and VA putting a counter-gerrymander up to a referendum, where people are told and can make a decision on the context for why it's being done, has vastly more democratic legitimacy than state legislators rushing it through because they got bullied by POTUS.

one of the ways the mid to late 20th century political world has distorted the historical memories of even sophisticated observers is in the idea that you can achieve major transformations of american political life through something like bipartisan consensus

the shift to a winner-take-all distribution of electoral votes? a partisan project. the development of the mass political party? a partisan project. antislavery and reconstruction? a partisan project. even direct election of senators comes out of populist agitation in the late 19th century.

Testing finds toxic metals where Tesla discharges wastewater The drainage district that commissioned the testing has sent a cease-and-desist letter to the company, which says it is in compliance with all requirements for its state wastewater discharge permit.

I’m shocked. www.texastribune.org/2026/04/21/t...

what's more likely, Iran is attacking bluesky, or they're just watching bluesky shit itself and going 'hey might as well claim credit lmao'

Strange how software everywhere is boinked this year🤖

And that is why I have enough silverware for a wedding reception. I just gave up at some point. Now scissors, scissors teleport somewhere, I am having to buy new scissors multiple times a year.

me : there are never any fucking spoons in this house

also me : quietly taking 5 spoons down from my desk and putting them in the dishwasher without telling anyone

Seventeen years after first meeting Dr @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social as a medical student, I had the privilege of reconnecting in Seattle.

Endless gratitude and the deepest respect for his lifelong commitment to medicine and mentorship—he’s helped pave the path for me and so many of us.

Here’s the 5th Circuit’s opinion openly and directly defying an on-point Supreme Court precedent that prohibits the display of the 10 Commandments in public school classrooms.

Shameless defiance of SCOTUS, but we’ll see if the supermajority cares. txvalues.org/wp-content/u...

I guess they plan on AI customers buying their services and products.
The other consequence will be a surge in the popularity of socialism after people see what capitalism brought them.

pondering what these business savants predicting employment apocalypse think will happen if a third of the population is unemployed in a country with no safety net, rotating this massive, faceted jewel of pure stupidity in my mind

This pharma giant just announced hundreds more layoffs in N.J. The job cuts are part of an effort to slash $2 billion in costs by 2027.

Bristol Myers Squibb, the global pharmaceutical giant, has announced another round of job cuts in New Jersey.
