sucks that it’s come to this, but if congressional Republicans wanted to put up a national gerrymandering ban or multi member districts etc, it would pass *for sure*. until then fight fire with fire
It really doesn't matter. The Republicans gerrymandered first. The Dems should have done it, whether or not voters approve of it.
Does anyone know what happened to Dakota?
Ok
Why are Bluesky's servers so bad? I can't see any images :/
2026 Twitter is the only place in the world where you can get Tumblr-style essay posts made by right-wingers who pretend to be an authority on why passing laws that torture homeless people is good, actually.
Is Jack Reed stupid? Avoiding answering questions is probably the most important job of the Chairman of the Fed.
Just tried affogato. I can't believe the Italians were eating this while we were rationing and the Americans were putting meat in jell-o.
This is kind of a meaningless statement without knowing how many job shifted from overseas to America. Which is zero. The tariffs weren't consistent enough or in place long enough to achieve anything except for disrupting America's economy.
Is it really over? I don't believe it until the Strait reopens
Are Americans aware of their own economic-military decline?
Trump can't invade Iran because Iran can wipe out most Gulf state desalination plants. Expect more bombings tonight and a nuclear-armed Iran by June.
VT and chill ;)
What if we split it sideways?
I miss Senator Burr. What happened to that guy?
I'm pretty sure any treaty signed with America just means that the next US president will have to tweet "force majeure" before invading Iran again
Trump has to be the stupidest president ever 🤦♀️
Industrialization was the only intelligent thing done in 200 years by any European and even that didn't happen consistently in Austria, Russia, Britain, or France. The British started off great! Then they financialized their economy!
Reading about European history from the 1820s onward is just watching an endless chain of politicians making the stupidest choices possible to preserve their own holds on power at the cost of sending Europe into terminal decline
Pretty funny just how badly free trade harmed the British economy leading up to WWII. There was basically zero economic growth for decades and British investors ended up investing in German and American industry instead. Sounds kind of like America today.
Having a small population doesn't help either
We should split NYC into 5 states
Caffeine detoxes take around a week, max. But honestly, the FDA max for caffeine is ridiculously low. I hit a daily peak of 1.5g for months without any issues. I'd say 800mg-1g is the safe dose for people with a caffeine tolerance already built up, depending on weight, age, and sex.
Hell ueah
Trump keeps promising that the Strait is about to reopen or is already open. And oil markets have strong positive feedback loops that normally take a few hours to be overcome.
Why are you long?
What a bad day for 🇺🇦🇵🇸 girlies
