A reminder while Republicans bitch about Dems finishing the redistricting fight they started: they have full control of gov’t— they can pass a law banning gerrymandering any time they want. They won’t. Republicans aren’t mad gerrymandering exists; they’re mad that they’re not the only ones using it.
It is objectively bad for democracy that both blue and red states are doing extreme gerrymanders.
But the only feasible solution — a national ban on partisan gerrymandering — has only been endorsed by one party. And it's not the one complaining about Virginia right now.
I had no idea. This is mind blowing.
And there it is
You can't even get a single conservative to admit Republicans brought this onto themselves huh? Just a completely intellectually bankrupt movement. Top to bottom from the highest elected official to the random talking head to the rando anon person on social media its all trash.
In a nutshell. 😊
Absolutely incredible.
NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone.
Watch with sound on.
Amazing to think that iPhone has more computing power than the first spacecraft.
They got rid of pennies before they got rid of racism. It’s crazy.
So many people need to come to grips that Americans like progressive stuff. They just don't like it for "those" people.
"Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial: Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later."
It’s so small! No need to be crusty!
my conspiracy theory is wall street is doing everything it can to keep everything from collapsing until dems take the house and senate so they can blame the implosion on them
Racism is one helluva lethal drug, tho:
It’s profoundly ignorant to suggest that the Pope should be fighting crime on behalf of the Catholic Church. Anyone who was remotely familiar with Roman Catholicism would know that that’s what Daredevil is for
Glass is nice but so heavy. I tried it a while back and ended up sending it all to Goodwill. We’ve got some Rubbermaid containers and a handful of well-made takeout plastic containers.
They don’t know how war works and they don’t know how negotiations work—but they do know how grift works. Our oligarchs will make money, Putin will make money, and that’s the only "victory" they care about. As a war this is obviously a defeat for the US—had the US won it would be dictating terms.
JD is such a loser, same as his regime leader. He spent one day trying to stop a ridiculous war his guy started and then just gives up and goes home with a pout. This is the weakest, most pathetic group of people.
Make Teen Pregnancy Great Again!
Every single one of the astronauts who went to the moon and back on Artemis II was educated at a public school.
Thinking of the teachers who poured into Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen tonight. You helped send a kid to the moon!

Weird to me that this is the thing everyone cites, because there's so much that's so much worse. In 1974 the first laws against marital rape were passed, but all 50 states did not classify it as a crime/remove the exemption until 1993.
Science is good. We should fund it.

I hold my breath and then tear up every time.
I lived in CA for years and always felt like there was something creepy about this guy. This is horrifying but doesn’t surprise me at all.
💯 I played this early in the pandemic too and it was so soothing and reassuring. I could get completely immersed in Hyrule and forget about the real world for a bit.
Artemis II Return NASA's Orion spacecraft carrying Artemis II Commander Reid Wiseman, Pilot Victor Glover, and Mission Specialist Christina Koch from NASA, along with Mission Specialist Jeremy Hansen from the CSA (Canadian Space Agency), splashes down in the Pacific Ocean near San Diego, California, at 5:07 p.m. PDT, (8:07 p.m. EDT) on Friday, April 10, 2026. The Artemis II test flight launched on Wednesday, April 1, from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida to begin its 10-day journey around the Moon for scientific discovery, economic benefits, and to build on our foundation for the first crewed missions to Mars.

What a great photo just added on the NASA Johnson Flickr page www.flickr.com/photos/nasa2...
That’s awesome! Congratulations!! 🎉
A post from a journalist reading "Democrats could, right now, be dragging the chief judge of the BIA into hearings and grilling USCIS and supporting legislation to protect asylum access. Instead, they are completely fine with this and many are even happy about it."

A big reason that things are the way they are is that people whose whole job it is to inform the public either 1) have no idea what they're talking about or 2) aren't honest about the things they talk about.
