btw while we’re all waiting for this to solidify, I just want anyone who worked the polls today to know that I think you’re a goddamn mensch. I don’t see electoral politics as the be all end all, but they’re an undeniably critical part of the political sphere, and simply do not work without y’all 🫡
Bluesky photos breaking shows another use case of ALT text.... If you have it I can still understand your post and if you don't your post is a big blank spot.
not going to jinx a goddamn thing, but you best believe I have a Virginia flag post queued up
It’s very funny that “counter-gerrymandering as a controlled burn” actually explains the situation very well.
Yes also winning Election Day in Loudoun with half precincts reporting
This doesn’t include mail ballots that will be very Yes
Very good sign for Yes
god I hope this works
I’ll be monitoring referendum outcomes here projects.statenavigate.com/25-26/states...

the extremists the govt alleges have been paid snitches for the SPLC for years are not named in the indictment but there is enough info to identify them if you have some knowledge of the organizations involved... a couple of racists are about to get a lot of angry phone calls from their friends
I cannot being to describe how much I just absolutely loathe and hate the TCC as an online subculture. The Internet has spawned many things but the TCC is truly an abominable creation.
MAGA has fantasized about criminalizing the SPLC for a decade—regardless of the org’s many flaws, the MAGA DOJ is corrupt and weaponized.

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.
yeah, that genuinely sucks. I wish I didn’t feel they’d left us no choice but to prioritize removing their control of at least one branch of government above all other electoral concerns; it is not without cost

lol imagine how far outta line you have to be to get this particular iteration of the FDA on your ass
it’s really such a great word, like top tier for evocativeness
rats? in MY fucking??? it’s more likely than you think!
oh so I can’t trust you with anything important. good to know
personally I encourage the small number of “wah wah we shouldn’t draw favorable maps” losers to keep posting through it, because it’s handy to know who still thinks this is a fucking game
If you're a kid in a game of monopoly and another kid is cheating, you can quit.
As an adult in an inescapable game of monopoly, if a political party cheats, you beat the shit out of them until they aren't able to do it anymore so everyone else can keep playing by the rules like decent adults.
this is fucked, obviously, but also gee I see the SPLC leadership’s plan of appeasing these assholes by throwing the most effective parts of their org under the bus over the past few years is playing out exactly like anyone who’s not an idiot nonprofit leadership type would have expected.
virginians, if you planned to vote in today’s election & have not already: don’t forget we have same day, in person registration AND if you’re 17 but will turn 18 before nov 3, you can register and vote today.
(post from the charlottesville office of voter registration & elections)
cool man well the ocean is right there, and stones aren’t generally hard to come by. get on with it already
ftr I understand why the politicians want to frame this as a fairness issue, and I guess it is in a sense—it’s more than fair that we’re finally getting around to ratfucking them right back. gonna have a proper shit-eating grin on my face all day long
First: hilarious.
Second: A core belief of Trump-brand conservativsm is there are and never have been difficult problems, only dumb leaders without the strength to be cruel enough to solve them.
It's why they always look so baffled when pushing the "more cruelty" button doesn't seem to work.
probably some humorous parallels to be drawn between this and serving on the bos
grand uniting power of “fuck those guys”
dear Virginia, don’t forget to vote yes today to fuck over the GOP, Trump, and all his corrupt and evil goons. they started shit, this is a big step towards us finishing it
