It is actually fascinating to watch the Washington Post try out this combination of USA Today editorial content and a WSJ opinion page. It's "laundry tips!" plus "We must slash capital gains taxes." Unfortunately for Jeff Bezos, the number of living human readers seeking this combination is zero.
at this point last year the republican party was the most punch-drunk movement in modern times, untethered from political reality, smashing everything in site. that's the environment in which Texas redistricting came to be. now it's a hungover mess blaming everyone else for its problems.
the scene at the northern virginia democrats' redistricting party is wild. as balloons and streamers fall, party members are rolling their eyes back in their heads and levitating in a circle as chants of "blood. blood. blood" echo through the auditorium. it's exciting to see the base this fired up
This was lightly tongue-in-cheek but something that I do struggle with is that I am told over and over again to prioritize the white working class while that block has voted to make my life and the lives of the people I love worse. Why shouldn’t I advocate for me instead?
The implicit media consensus is that urban voters should not be able to overrule rural voters, but that rural voters should be able to overrule urban voters, an assumption so axiomatic and unquestionable that nobody even understands they're making it.
"should we really resort to playing dirty to defeat the nazis i–"
yes. kick em in the fucking balls. what kind of question is that. grow the fuck up
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
Washington Post Editorial Board headline: “The Texas gerrymander freak out. What’s happening in Texas is not a threat to democracy.”
Washington Post Editorial Board headline: “Virginia plunges America deeper into the gerrymandering abyss. The redistricting scheme was always a power grab by Democrats. Voters went along with it.”
The Washington Post Editorial Board was fine with Republicans gerrymandering in Texas.
But when Democrats responded in Virginia, it’s a “power grab” that “plunges America deeper into the gerrymandering abyss.”
most gerrymanders are republican legislators saying fuck the voters
these ones are the voters saying fuck republican legislators
NBC News has called the race for the YES.
And now for what you've been waiting for — the reaction of Senator Louise Lucas, one of the main instigators of the 10-1 map. She does not post on here, so linking to her post on X: x.com/SenLouiseLuc...
as it becomes clear that Yes has won in VA and gerrymandering will pass, a message to Republican voters:
you brought this on yourselves
you convinced the most fairness-obsessed, That Wouldn’t Be Fair-minded voters in the country to affirmatively vote to put you in the dumpster
you earned this
one of the single most important bursts of legislative activity in the nation's history happened because the governing party did not hesitate to remove their opponents from congress itself when they had the opportunity. 🤷🏿♂️
one of the ways the mid to late 20th century political world has distorted the historical memories of even sophisticated observers is in the idea that you can achieve major transformations of american political life through something like bipartisan consensus
All of the Hasan discourse on all sides should have to stare at this poll until they understand they are terminally online freaks who are frothing over shit that has no impact materially. Please just fight republicans and donate to dems.
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.
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.
its absolutely incredible watching people not realize the stakes watching DOJ being weaponized against SPLC and not realizing that its basically an existential fight for the republic now
No we should definitely tilt the playing field against the fascist party. There's a pretty strong case that we should de facto ban the Republican Party.
Alright, I’m home now so here’s the Norm update. Yesterday at 4pm, I got a text from a family I’ve been helping who had a loved one abducted a couple of days after Renée Good’s murder. This was the family that Norm Nation kept from being evicted (and you delivered). ICE had released their loved one.
All-time NWSL Salary Cap chart. Maximum Cap Spend since 2013: $208,318,500. NWSL Columbus Expansion Fee: $205,000,000. Note: Max spend not mandated. 2025 and 2026 includes mandated revenue-sharing supplements. Does not include future HIP rule payments.
Columbus' NWSL Expansion Fee pays for every NWSL player's salary every year since the beginning of NWSL.
genuinely disgusting the expansion fees are that high and owners are quibbling over a $1m player salary cap raise

Say what you will about the worst members of the Roberts Court, but they all make sure their wives are in on the grift.
Jane Roberts, Martha Alito and Ginni Thomas are equal partners with their husbands in the grand project of destroying the United States and enriching themselves in the process.
