this is the energy I want to see from elected Dems. salt the earth where the Republican Party once grew; it is the only way to save the Union

I would submit that a gerrymander by politicians saying fuck the voters and one by voters saying fuck the politicians are two wholly different animals

The meta story of the (imminent) Yes win in VA is the total inability of Trump to ever look down the game tree. He was apparently unable to comprehend that Democrats would respond to his push to redistrict in GOP-run states

This same pehenenon is also why we are losing a war to Iran.

I have the utmost respect for Senator Kaine and Senator Warner but we do not need “coaching” on redistricting coming from a cuck chair in the corner. How about you all stay focused on the fascist in the White House and let us handle redistricting in Virginia. 10-1

NEW — Virginia voters have approved a 10–1 congressional map, putting Democrats in a strong position to flip four seats from red to blue. The new map is now among the most aggressive gerrymanders in the country.

REDISTRICT EVERYTHING

Cf. the Bezos Post, "Republicans gerrymandering in Texas is fine, actually" b/w "Democrats gerrymandering in Virginia is a threat to democracy"

79% of Americans:

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

every conservative political complaint comes back to "those people shouldn't count because they disagree with me"

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.

Republicans have always believed it's cheating for Democrats to fight back in any capacity, not least because so many Democrats agree

WARREN: Name one aspect of President Trump's economic agenda with which you disagree

KEVIN WARSH: He said he thought I'm out of central casting. I think I'd look older, grayer, and maybe show up with a cigar

WARREN: Quite adorable

Scenes from a personalist regime: A nominee to an independent federal body refuses to acknowledge that the President ever lost an election.

More money, more problems, amirite? AM I R-

Oh, well, in that case—WAIT A MINUTE.

Sacrifice your job for the glorious AI future How tech CEOs use the threat of job loss to distract from how AI is really used against workers

Perplexity’s CEO is just the latest tech leader to tell the public their jobs will be sacrificed on the altar of the glorious AI future.

It’s a compelling narrative, but it distracts us from the real impact of AI: not to take the human out of the loop, but to take away their power and cut their pay

It's a must.

I feel like Sun Tzu really missed out on "Invent Pete Hegseth and give him to the enemy"

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.

this is horrifying

on this basis they could charge a GC holder with anything in absentia, arrest them on their return to the US, and deport them on the grounds they've been charged with something before ever seeing a courtroom

The Brits appear ready to shame the US news media into covering this, distracted as they are by gazing at their own navels ...
