A little background on who the Southern Poverty Law Center is and what kind of work they’ve been doing for decades makes it clear that DOJ’s indictment (which is of the center, not of any individuals) is vindictive & malicious, an attack on civil rights work itself. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
Here’s the very simple truth. We should ban all Gerrymandering.
Until then, to unilaterally disarm is political suicide and malpractice.
Texas republicans illegally gerrymandered their maps and never once asked voters how they feel about it.
California and Virginia let voters decide.
That’s the difference. They started this fight and Democrats are going to fucking finish it.
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.
You ever try to code switch at work and fail? 😂
I just finished writing my reflections on tonight's big win in Virginia. I've been fighting this fight for ten years, including three cases in SCOTUS. Tonight we won a big one at the ballot box.

Shame away... Please. 🙌🏾🙌🏾
The Brits appear ready to shame the US news media into covering this, distracted as they are by gazing at their own navels ...
We got shafted here in Texas. Republicans are pulling out everything to suppress voters and gerrymander the state.
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
We’re exhausted. Watching this administration push through preventable harm like it’s policy.
It’s anti-science, anti–public health, and people pay the price.
It will take years to repair this.
Good night.😴⚠️
Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.
In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces.
249 years later, we have this idiot.
The next administration must make clear that any immigrant, refugee, or asylum seeker wrongly deported, exiled, or otherwise mistreated by this administration will be readmitted with an expedited path to citizenship. Send a plane to get them.
We can't undo the damage. But we can do something.
She says it, fox allows it, Republicans believe it.
They do share the same reality as we do.
In 2019, Hegseth proudly told his Fox News co-hosts that he had not washed his hands in 10 years because "germs are not a real thing. I can't see them, therefore they are not real."
If he can’t see the flu virus, why bother getting vaccinated?🙄
I asked X, Paramount, ABC, and Meta where their donations to Trump's Presidential Library went. None of them could give a clear answer.
Tens of MILLIONS of dollars are missing.
Why should Americans trust that this money isn’t going straight into Donald Trump’s pockets?
A reminder:
Excited to share some good news for Illinois families — we’ve reached over 100,000 children in our state receiving books from Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library.
Let’s keep reading.
Do not stop talking about the Epstein files!
This timeline is unreal. I hate that there is a generation of young people growing up with the belief that the stupidity coming out of Trumps mouth, is typical behavior for a sitting American President. #TrumpIsCorrupt and an #Idiot
For the record, for anyone who’s forgotten, it’s sheer madness for a president to contradict himself nearly every day. It’s profoundly wrong that we can’t trust the veracity of a single thing that he says.
House Judiciary Democrats are teasing an investigation into FBI Director Kash Patel and The Atlantic's reporting on his alleged intoxication.
As Trump’s lies get more egregious (and repetitive) I have at least noticed fewer mouth-breathing bootlickers willing to defend him in my comments.
And the administration is leaking about how he’s hurting negotiations and how they’re keeping him on the sidelines.
I’ll call that progress.
I hope the takeover of InfoWars by @theonion.com and @timheidecker.bsky.social that resulted from the bankruptcy brought on by Alex Jones’ evil attacks on the victims of Sandy Hook brings you as much joy as it does me.
I'm excited to share that we've made a collection of historic Supreme Court Records and Briefs available via

I've written a blog post where I go into detail about the importance of this collection.

SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “The faithless president depicts himself as Christ while he plunges the nation into wars of choice… Remember — While you pay more for everything, the First Family’s wealth is growing by billions. Because they’re crooks, and everybody knows it.”
Wait, so he's using the timetable of other wars, in reference to Iran. So it's a war again? He's conceded we are in the middle of a war with Iran? I can't keep up with the flip-flopping of this administration.
Khanna to Maria Bartiromo: "Barack Obama was a great statesman who left America much safer. I wouldn't put Donald Trump in the same paragraph. Obama actually did his homework ... all Donald Trump did is listen to Netanyahu. That's his entire foreign policy."
