Yeah, don't take the foot off the pedal. If you support "Yes" in Virginia, keep at it.
2025 Politico headline: Trump on Texas redistricting: ‘We are entitled to 5 more seats’
John Gramlich skeet quoting Trump in NYT today: Trump: “I don’t know if you know what gerrymandering is, but it’s not good.”
A sowing/reaping for the ages
Lol. That's not why.
Very cool: Rivian sends old batteries to Redwood, who hooks them all up via its special sauce, and now the batteries are helping power a Rivian manufacturing plant!
Closed loop starting to come into sight ...
Actually, I’ve explained this MANY TIMES
This generation of Black ppl vote MORE than any generation since we got the right to vote
But after the 1st Black was elected, WHITE PPL began turning out in historic numbers to vote for Trump. As this graph CLEARLY shows…
The “crisis” is white people.
As morbid as it sounds, the stories of domestic violence and murder shouldn’t stop with the crime itself.
What happens to the woman’s property / assets when her husband kills her? Do they go to him?
Should women start making secret wills / directives if they are in abusive relationships ?
My latest.
I’ve been watching the media coverage of the murders of Dr. Cerina Fairfax and Vice Mayor Nancy Metayer.
One way media can fight back against male violence:
If you kill your wife, you don’t get to be called a “husband” any more.
You’re her killer.

We all celebrate Superman Day differently, Krypto's eating treats, Supergirl is off on an adventure, and Superman is...hanging out with Lex?

I’m going to be annoyed for life by the way people convinced themselves that opposing things like racism and transphobia meant you’d been “duped” by elites.
A photo of a tray with three sections empty. One has chopped carrot in it. The other has what can only be described as a posit of brown dog vomit and an insole liner of a sneaker (or a used panty liner from the mid 1700s). The kind of meal that would have you happily tossing yourself overboard.
NEW: Growing fears of food shortages on USS Tripoli & other US ships in the Middle East.
This photo is the kind of meals now being served. It was sent by a sailor to her family.
Families are now trying to send food parcels to the ships.

I would say that #2 needs to be not "have to be ready" but "have to demand" because if there are no consequences and people just reap multiple billions of dollars in personal profit this will happen again.
I had seen this before, but just to clarify RFK jr. just lied in front of congress.
RFK Jr. denies saying Black kids on SSRIs "are going to have a chance to go somewhere and get reparented to live in a community where there'll be no cell phones."
Says: "I don't even know what that means"
The Illinois State House just passed HB 5511, a bill that will require EVERY WEBSITE and EVERY APP to implement an age verification check.
@govpritzker.illinois.gov has pushed this hard and it’s Meta’s preferred solution to avoid liability.
Votes here. CALL YOUR REPS!

Just a filthy civic degenerate
‘He Just Lied to America’: Russ Vought Denies Violating Impoundment Laws, Prompting Sharp Response talkingpointsmemo.com/news/he-just...
This might be one of those clear moments when the depths of the absurdity we have reached is laid bare.
what’s funny about this is that tarantino wrote this “ezekiel 25:17“ for the film. it isn‘t actually in the bible. publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/hegseth-bo...
Fake christian, using a fake scripture seems about right for this administration.
Sales head David Gabriel out at Marvel
David Gabriel, Marvel's lorn term SVP of sales and marketing, was part of Disney's layoffs yesterday, leaving many questions
It is like they aren't willing to engage with the prospect, that is *competitive* authoritarianism. We don't know what, if any, democracy repairing steps will occur or if they will stick?
Also excellent list. Because undoing the embedded part is going to be what those pundits are loudest about.
You try to explain to folks, that most of the non-college towns in (east) central Illinois were sundown towns in the recent past and they disbelieve you. Natives *know* that history and the thin veneer covering it today. Like you said, same song, just a different year.
NEW: A new pre-print study offers the first causal evidence that outsourcing reasoning tasks to AI can rapidly erode users' independent performance AND their will to persist despite difficulty.
"People’s persistence drops... they’re also not willing to try without AI.”

Swalwell should be serving time.
Listen to Lonna Drewes testimony and my take on how easy it is to be a #resistance democrat who does active harm.
By dismantling the lie that vulnerability is weakness. Black men need space-mentorship, therapy, where they can express, heal, & unlearn. Safe spaces: dismantle toxic masculinity & embrace vulnerability. Therapy & community. Honest dialogue, no judgment. Introspection & empathy: Real men heal.
Imagine a study that found kids with ADHD have more visits to doctors than kids without ADHD — and used that finding to suggest ADHD treatment doesn't work. That's the standard of evidence the anti-trans braintrust is willing to accept.
As people are in the process of robbing the bank no less!
