Virginia’s redistricting victory has L. Louise Lucas’ fingerprints all over it.
Read @lauren-egan.bsky.social's profile on the 82-year-old shitposting powerhouse who helped drag Democrats into the battle:
Texas redistricts without a vote, Republicans cheer.
Dems in Virginia respond by putting it UP FOR A VOTE OF THE PEOPLE, it passes, Republican cry foul.
Oh well. Good job Virginia!!
We won. 💪
Virginia voters showed up and shut down Trump’s power grab loud and clear. They tried to rig the rules. We used our votes to take the power right back and protect fair maps. This is what it looks like when we fight back — and win.
Don’t go to Coachella. Instead, fight for fair wages for farm workers in the Coachella valley
HEDY LAMARR escaped from her Nazi husband by disguising herself as her own maid, became a Hollywood star, then co-developed a radio guidance system for Allied torpedoes - the principles of which are incorporated into today’s Bluetooth and GPS technology.
Hell of a lady.
That’s nobody’s business but the Tuuuurks!
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Barack Obama: “Virginia, if you haven't done it already, make a plan to vote YES on the redistricting referendum. You can vote early by April 18 or on Election Day, April 21.”

900lb crates full of onions in a field
The Coachella music festival is in the news with the minimum price of sold out 3-day ticket costing $549. Contrast that with "Nicolas" who is currently harvesting onions in the Coachella area and getting paid $22 for a $900lb crate. #WeFeedYou #coachella2026

So it turns out paying people a living wage doesn’t collapse the economy; it’s almost like the rich have been lying to us to maintain their power over our lives.
Kathleen Parker in @wasingtonpost.bsky.social is so wrong. Vicarious liability for a parent who gives their troubled child is troubled the means of deadly action without even a gun locker and a “we’ll only use this at the gun range, when I’m with you to supervise” is an accessory. wapo.st/4swhKDf

Turns out, Iran is surprisingly good at trolling the Orange Atrocity.

And, we'd never have got to the moon in the first place without the genius of Black women: mathematicians Mary Jackson, Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, and Christine Darden
Start with affordability.
Parents are being asked to do more for their children while getting less help.
The administration ignores these concerns and makes them worse by cutting programs to pay for Trump's war with Iran.

Tapped into not only "stupid" but white grievance and "victimhood"
Tax Day is next week.
Remember this:
They didn't cut $1 trillion from healthcare and rip food assistance away from hungry kids to make your life more affordable.
They did it to give the Elon Musks and Amazons of the world BILLIONS in tax breaks.
Vote now!
This isn’t about politics as usual. It’s about stopping a power grab already happening in Texas, Florida ＆ North Carolina. The April 21 amendment is Virginia’s legal, democratic answer. Early voting is open. Make your voice count.

"Filing taxes should be really easy and completely free. It is in most other developed countries. In 2024, the Biden administration debuted a program called Direct File to make tax filing easy and free for most American taxpayers, too.
President Trump killed it."

Any government that takes custody of a child has a sacred duty to keep that child safe but too often fail. This is particularly egregious because they are not even trying to keep these children safe.
WTAF!
What has Janet Mills done for Maine? Well, here's a very diggable thread.👇🏽
Surprised Iran hasn’t figured out they could end this with some made up very prestigious award.
The anti-voter SAVE Act would require voters to show a passport or birth certificate to register to vote, but 21 million American citizens don’t have those documents readily available. Call your senators and tell them to reject this attack on the freedom to vote: bit.ly/4srDVLB
