While a step in the right direction, these proposals are inadequate. To create a system where every vote counts equally, the Constitution must be amended. To do this, Congress should pass legislation reducing the size of Washington, D.C., to an area encompassing only a few core federal buildings and then admit the rest of the District’s 127 neighborhoods15 as states. These states — which could be added with a simple congressional majority — would add enough votes in Congress to ratify four amendments: (1) a transfer of the Senate’s power to a body that represents citizens equally; (2) an expansion of the House so that all citizens are represented in equal-sized districts; (3) a replacement of the Electoral College with a popular vote; and (4) a modification of the Constitution’s amendment process that would ensure future amendments are ratified by states representing most Americans.

Seeing as how the Democrats will soon control both chambers of Congress, allow me to introduce you to the most based idea ever suggested in the Harvard Law Review:

"Congress should admit each Washington D.C. neighborhood as its own state."

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

Factory reset is pat-pat, offbeat, pat-pat on the back of the unit, mimicking a heartbeat, while humming in time.

”How is this legal” is a really funny thing for a republican to say in 2026

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

Voted Yes in Virginia today.

I would be surprised if the vote succeeds, but if it does, boy is that a bad sign for the GOP's chances in the fall.

It's a Nazi bar, now.

I am sure I'll hit a wall before long, but so far setting up Proxmox, clustering the mini pcs, and installing tailscale has been pretty damn smooth.

Would be pretty cool to get it all working!

the president of the united states is personally looting the treasury to the tune of literally billions of dollars and that he is not being immediately removed from office and tried for high crimes against this country is a devastating indictment of every part of our political system

I am also doing my part 🫡

Seems like it would have been a third rail for the italians even back then
