Remember, Democrats have repeatedly advanced measures to ban partisan gerrymandering and Republicans have voted against them time after time.
This is the game Republicans wanted to play. OK, then.
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
Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.
White clock at 6:00 on dark green background, below bold white text urging voters there's one hour left to vote in Loudoun County, Virginia. Logo in bottom right corner.

We’re having the referendum here in #Virginia today to offset the Rs’ mid-decade redistricting in states like North Carolina that already swung three seats and is further designed to swing a fourth this fall.
Level the playing field with a Yes victory today.
Polls are open until 7 p.m. #valeg

How tragic that you could publish, then re-publish, then re-publish, then re-publish, then re-publish a cartoon like this over and over again...
Someday, with luck and hard work, she will have a name too.
imagine joining a religion and then five years later criticizing the leader of that religion, who has dedicated his whole life to that religion, and who that religion says is infallible, about said religion
What even is this headline PBS?? SMDH
NEW—I got an exclusive excerpt from a USAID whistleblower's new book that made me gasp multiple times. It details Trump's dismantling of the humanitarian aid agency & his team/DOGE's shocking ignorance to public health.
'Into the Wood Chipper' by Nicholas Enrich is out tomorrow. Read excerpt here:

The sunset clause is subject to change at the will of the General Assembly.
This year, a bipartisan majority of the Senate voted to change it.
I agree with Sen. Louise Lucas: a multi-trillion-dollar industry doesn't need a $1B+ tax break. Let's use that money to fix roads and feed kids. #valeg
Did you, like us, spend the day staring at the wall wondering if we were about to massacre every man, woman, and child in Iran at 8pm this evening?
☎️CALL your representatives
Especially if they are REPUBLICANS. They are not immune to public pressure. Impeach and remove

I've now seen several posts from Democratic US Senators and House Reps calling for Congress to return to DC, and my only reaction to seeing these is: Do it. Just get on a plane and go back to DC. The House is in Recess, not adjourned. There was a pro forma session today. Go. Lead by example.
just to be clear, everyone, when 8 pm EDT comes and goes, regardless of what does or does not happen, the president still threatened genocide and war crimes and we should still impeach, arrest, and try him
"a whole civilization will die tonight" is one of those things that no one could EVER say and it be ok. there is NO possible scenario in this world where that's a justified outcome, much less the stated goal! screaming into the abyss
You know, it's okay to bail on artists you love. You can bail on Louis CK. You can bail on Kanye. You don't have defend or justify or anything. You can just bail. There are other artists. Maybe some women comedians. Maybe some musicians who don't heil Hitler. It's not that difficult.
This is the truest truth of all the truths (and there aren't many).
Huge congratulations to the UMW team and all y’all in Fredericksburg! #Virginia
My aunt, the doctor,
told me a new joke.
She asked:
Did you hear
that the CDC
is pausing testing
for rabies, smallpox,
and monkeypox?
And when I asked
for the punchline
she just replied:
No, this is real
it’s not an April Fool’s joke.
And then neither of us laughed.
What a lovely rebuke to all the "Government Can Never Do a Better Job than Private Industry" clowns in the GOP, given all of Elon's embarrassing failures and expensive explosions.
Gentle reminder on this day: saying things like "we are all immigrants (except natives)" actually erases important amounts of American history.
There are a lot of people who are not native whose ancestors never immigrated to the US.
was just reminded that tomorrow is april fool’s day and especially this year can we just… not, please
Oh, man 😞 Dr Lorita Daniels is suspending her campaign for Senator against Mark Warner.
Please listen to the message she posted on FB. 🩷
Everyone pony the fuck fpr the librarian who just got sacked for refusing to remove LGBTQ books from the kids' section of the library.
Sandra Wong, the great granddaughter of Wong Kim Ark, is preparing to march at the #NoKings Rally in San Francisco. Today is the 128th Anniversary of the SCOTUS decision affirming birthright citizenship.
If you're talking about the beneficial aspects of dueling you're not having a good confirmation hearing
