most gerrymanders are republican legislators saying fuck the voters

these ones are the voters saying fuck republican legislators

New study suggests a way to rejuvenate the immune system MIT and Broad Institute researchers found a way to overcome age-related immune system decline by temporarily programming liver cells to take over the maturation of T cells. Using mRNA, the researchers...

Researchers at @mit.edu & Broad Institute used mRNA to temporarily program cells in the liver to improve T-cell function in mice.

“If we can restore something essential like the immune system, hopefully we can help people stay free of disease for a longer span of their life,” says Feng Zhang.

Then VA's state Supreme Court should be ignored exactly like Ohio's was.

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

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

Take their tactics from them and beat them over the head with them. Even if it doesn't make them stop doing it, you get the schadenfreude of seeing the repudiation.

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

just saw someone call Kash Patel “J Edgar Boozer” and need to lie down

Birthright Citizenship and Youth Crime - Marginal REVOLUTION This paper studies the impact of birthright citizenship on youth crime. We leverage a German reform which automatically granted birthright citizenship to eligible immigrant children born in Germany af...

Germany began automatically granting birthright citizenship to eligible immigrant children born after 1/1/00. Study finds that "immigrant youth who acquired citizenship at birth are substantially less likely to engage in criminal activity, with estimates indicating a 70% reduction in crime."

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.

Everyone knows what Sharia is. What's the word for the Christian equivalent?

Nope. But if he keeps this up he'll find out about a whole lot of other diseases around the world - wherever we keep sending troops - that are nearly as nasty. There's a good reason a lot of ID divisions have a travel vaccine clinic.

Tis true.

"Finding the smallpox to be spreading much and fearing that no precaution can prevent it from running thro’ the whole of our Army, I have determined that the Troops shall be inoculated." - General George Washington, 6 Feb 1777

The man who introduced obligatory vaccinations to the US Army was George Washington.

Hard to believe we've evolved from George Washington understanding the value of proactively keeping ones forces healthy to this numbnut who needs to have the infectious disease fairy visit him on the regular.

No one believes he'll sell them but that's not the issue. He never should have had them in the first place if he wanted this job.

No worries. It just looked a lot like one we grew.

is there a platform that's like a kickstarter for indie or self-published books? #BookSky

Is that a daikon? We have to grow them in the fall up here. Love them.

The Infowars news is funny, yes. But more importantly, it is an outright rebuke of Alex Jones' evil.

It's testament to the strength and resilience of the Sandy Hook families who survived this bullshit for more than a decade as well as the Onion, which didn't give up on this for the last 18 months.

A golden retriever has both paws up at a bank teller’s window.

“Are you the branch manager?”
“Yes I am, how can I help you?”
“I would like two branches, please.”
“How would you like that?”
“Two big sticks, four little sticks.”

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

Opinion | Measles Took My Daughter. This Is What I Want Everyone to Know.

“What I didn’t know was that measles can cause long-term complications. A child can seem fine while the virus slowly replicates in her brain… Because both Britain and the United States are confronting outbreaks, I am sharing my story. Parents should know just how dangerous this disease is.”

Why is the House not holding Bondi in contempt? Why is Oversight not holding Epstein hearings? Why is Oversight not doing more in this case?

Good Question! (1/3)

The Pierogi Tipping Point, as it were.

Hegseth Says Climate Change Is ‘Crap.’ The Military Is Still Bracing for It Climate is now a verboten topic in the Pentagon, but the battle against storms, fires, floods and rising seas hasn’t stopped.

Pete Hegseth said the Pentagon wouldn’t do any “climate change crap.” It’s still fortifying bases against rising seas and stronger storms.

Living in a blue city beats the alternative, but entrenched power is entrenched power, and in Columbus decades of business-backed Democratic rule has turned the party into a rubber stamp for corporatist interests, leading to these kinds of giveaways.
