This pisses me off so much because do you know what we didnt get to do in Texas? vote for the new gerrymandered maps. That shit was so unpopular they had to push that *congressional* vote thru at like 2am on a saturday (piggybacking on the special session called in after kids died in a bad flood)

Amidst all the GOP whining tonight, a reminder that the Democrats would currently control the House were it not for the late, illegal GOP gerrymandering in GA & NC in 2024.
the fascists have been lying, cheating and changing the rules to their benefit for years. turnabout isn't just fair play, it's the only way to maintain some semblance of a civil society.

Ahahahahaha what do you mean the TECHNICAL ADVISOR to Bluesky just blocked over 300k users by following an ANTI-AI, AI HATERS blocklist.
Embarassing.
why saying that AI is incredible followed by a series of non-loading comments because the vibe-coded site is fucking broken
I don't think I could make a joke better than this
Ahahahahaha pool phone man blocked me too cause I’m on the anti-AI list. I’m in good company!
They think you're stupid.
Jenn’s point is actually a good one to show how states end up getting really uncompetitive once one side gets beaten enough. Of course, demoralizing Republicans like her was the point.
”How is this legal” is a really funny thing for a republican to say in 2026
If AI was the wave of the future, sites wouldn't put the icon for it where you're most likely to accidentally click on it without meaning to.
most gerrymanders are republican legislators saying fuck the voters
these ones are the voters saying fuck republican legislators
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
this is entirely correct
Republicans currently control the entire US government. They could pass a law banning gerrymandering tomorrow if they actually thought it was bad. They clearly don’t, and the entire media discourse is about pretending to not understand this.
Not a major revelation or anything, but tonight is just a emphatic reflection on how much of our politics is simply our media and elected officials delighting in finding cutesy, clever ways to avoid just saying they think Republicans should get to win and Democrats shouldn’t.
very funny that the zombie Post is going all in on All Hail Glorious Leader as his approval ratings crater into the low 30s and his party faces annihilation in the fall
"should we really resort to playing dirty to defeat the nazis i–"

What is the antifa "energy policy"? 🤌

they like Trump and want to help him rule us like a king
it’s the same exact thinking you see from these nitwits with the Iran war.
they think they hold all the cards and cannot even conceive of their enemy retaliating, whether it’s by closing the strait of Hormuz or the CA/VA redistricting ballot measures
Matt Damon playing a 14th century French knight that looks like a third baseman for the Phillies. Mullet. Beard. Smells like horse shit, pine tar, and cigarette smoke.
Matt Damon while playing Odysseus who also looks like a third baseman for the Phillies. Long, skinny beard. Smells like horseshit, pine tar, and perhaps Mediterranean herbs.
Matt Damon playing a 19th century cowboy that looks like a third baseman for the Phillies. Mustache. Shaggy hair. Smells like horse shit, pine tar, and definitely chewing tobacco.
Every time Matt Damon takes on a period role he ends up looking like a third baseman for the Phillies.
Tonight, Virginians refused to let Trump play games with Americans’ right to fair representation. Thanks to Virginia voters, Governor Spanberger, and Democrats in the VA state legislature, Republicans can’t cheat their way out of accountability in 2026.
Virginia voters won, voters all across the country won, Donald Trump and Peter Thiel lost (when bluesky's pic issue is fixed, I'll post pics of his racist-ass mailers here for y'all to zoom in on)
This is the kind of betrayal a nation carries out when its leaders don't believe in the concept of allies and that views promises as something for suckers.
It also makes our armed forces less safe. No nation will ever trust us again. Why should they? We stab our friends in the back.
Fun fact, I did not vote for Donald Trump but Cory Booker DID confirm many of Trump's cabinet members, several of whom are guilty of war crimes!
Thirteen U.S. troops died trying to get these people to safety — Afghan interpreters, soldiers, and the families of our service members. Veterans spent sleepless nights during the chaotic withdrawal fighting to keep them alive. Now our own government is going to abandon them.
Nothing?
