Two things can be true:
Congress should pass uniform, national legislation reining in partisan gerrymandering; and
Until that happens, or every state adopts an independent redistricting commission, neither party is going to (or, frankly, should) unilaterally disarm.

New, from me: Take the Palantir manifesto seriously, if not literally.
It reveals that our tech philosopher kings want public money, but without public accountability. This creates a dilemma for governments unaligned with its techno-fascist vision. 🧵

We won.
Tesla Chicago is closed.
Their new location is in a ghost town. They sacrificed visibility to thousands/day--& proximity to the other luxury car dealerships--to get away from us, because we'd turned their brand ambassador location into a liability.
Organizing works.

i was just saying to a friend a few days ago that trump's public opinion collapse opens up the field of possibilities in ways that are truly unpredictable. it is one thing for a president to be this popular at the *end* of their turn, but not even two years in?
Trump Blocks Voting Machine Standards Committee Appointments
Trump is blocking qualified experts to a federal standards committee for U.S. election voting equipment.
Endangering certification of defective voting machines.

Not a shocker: ICE rushed hiring spree swept in a bunch of undesirable dregs of society.
"[ICE's rapid-fire recruitment & hiring has] led to new employees with questionable qualifications"
Keep reminding your MoCs, this is who they're paying to terrorize the country.

Someday, with luck and hard work, she will have a name too.
Gonna spend the next two years spamming every elected Dem about the concept of "damnatio memoriae." Chisel his name off every inscription. Build over the various Trump Towers like they're Nero's Golden House. Remove him from physical memory, not to forget but as a sign of disrespect to the man.
Any candidate that takes money from Palantir should not receive your vote.
Co-founder Joe Lonsdale is pouring millions into a PAC to buy off Democrats, especially in California.

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.
The thing about the photo of the IDF soldier beheading a statue of Jesus in south Lebanon is that the Israeli military has an effectively near 0% conviction rate for its soldiers and so this will just keep happening over and over and over and over. This is simply what unlimited impunity breeds.
Yeah, I’m back. 😉
Searing opinion from a federal judge on Long Island, who describes "police state"-like tactics by ICE to arrest peopleand draw up after-the-fact warrants.
He says DOJ is damaging its credibility with the courts by trying to shield ICE from scrutiny. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
The U.S. Navy has confirmed the loss of a $238 million MQ-4C Triton reconnaissance drone over the Persian Gulf, adding to more than a dozen unmanned aircraft reportedly lost during the ongoing war in Iran.
Extremely normal and fine for a company to put this in a public statement
So this is what prompted Melania to make that bizarre speech.
What’s incredible is that Ungaro’s tweets didn’t mention Epstein or claim Melania met Trump through Epstein, just that she had damaging info. So why did Melania leap to that the next day?

NYT INVESTIGATION: As the Trump administration & Congress last year moved to repeal sanctions on Syria, the Qatar-based family that most stood to benefit was privately negotiating a real-estate partnership with Jared Kushner and proposing a Trump golf course in Syria www.nytimes.com/2026/04/19/u...
One reason that we cannot have professional diplomats representing the interests of the United States is that it would disrupt a pattern of personal enrichment for the Presidents allies and families.
These are my favorite pictures from today.

There’s 199 days until the midterms and a lot of work to do.
We are looking to elect leaders ready to investigate corruption and hold bad actors accountable.
