am conflicted about the whole redistricting thing but republicans staring at the sowing/reaping meme is kind of hilarious tbh
BREAKING: Virginia voters approve a Democratic redistricting plan that could allow the party to pick up as many as four new seats in the midterm elections, NBC News projects.
I don't really approve of gerrymandering, but our wise and enlightened Supreme Court has said it was totally in accordance with the law and custom Constitution, and who am I argue with the Sainted John Roberts? 🥺🥺🥺

“There is a distinctive, deeply uncanny horror to the way Jimmy Fallon laughs. It is not a reaction (he sometimes won’t even wait for his guest to get to their carefully scripted punchline). Rather, it is a performance, a sudden, corporeal convulsion.”
The one thing that has taken a U.S. aircraft carrier offline in recent years was not enemy action. It was COVID.
Deciding now to put anti-science culture war signaling over military readiness is a bad idea.
The f*ck? What has Rubio done in the last two months besides lie low?
Al Gore:
“This is the most corrupt administration not only in American history, but more corrupt than I could ever have imagined a president would be able to get away with to the extent that he has. It’s shocking to me.”
Mississippi is on @runforsomething.net's Battle Up list for a reason -- we believe with sustained investment and smart plays, MS can be a long-term battleground. There's potential here 👀
Trump, who said in the 2024 campaign that Kamala Harris would start World War 3, compares his war against Iran to World War II
A crescent shape is above a dot, the star Aldebaran, and 5 small dots, the Pleiades star cluster. They are all above a starred dot, Venus, which is immediately above a wavy line, the horizon.
Today, as darkness falls, you’ll see the young #moon near #Venus. When true darkness falls, you'll see the bright star #Aldebaran and – if your sky is dark enough – the #Pleiades star cluster. Look for them before midnight! 🌒🌌

This is as good as everyone's saying it is. The anti-corruption message is a good one, imo

Ukraine, a country under full scale invasion for 4+ years, is signing deals to co-develop/produce weapons with other countries.
Saudi, UAE and Qatar are not only confident of but also banking on Ukraine being a functional nation state over the next decade.
Just remember this, Mr. Potter, that this rabble you're talking about, they do most of the working and paying and living and dying in this community. Well, is it too much to have them work and pay and live and die in a couple of decent rooms and a bath?

Congress has vast powers to reshape the federal judiciary. The proposal here is a good one: "establish judicial review by sortition. A Supreme Court empaneled with a random draw from the entire federal judiciary. A jury of judges." 1/2
The Maryland legislature recently passed a big energy omnibus bill that is effectively a huge bag of smaller policies. It's difficult to even summarize -- there's stuff on permitting, plug-in solar, data center, on & on. @jamiedemarco.bsky.social has pulled it all together into a master list:
The Palentir statement on its desired “Technological Republic” is one of the scariest things I have seen in a while. It is a call for a world dominated by an authoritarian U.S., generated by AI (both the statement and the world), run by tech-surveillance companies. Technofascism pure!
