the DOJ is working for the fascists now

DEMS - we mean it we’re gonna sue

SCOTUS - *legalizes gerrymandering completely*

DEMS - *start gerrymandering*

GOP - HEY STOP THAT NO FAIR!!!! 😭

A Fire To Stop The Fire There are ways to preserve American democracy. None of them are ideal.

It always comes back to the question of what Trump's opponents are willing to do to preserve whatever is left of representative democracy. I'm glad VA and CA were willing to do gerrymanders.

He's gone. 💔

most gerrymanders are republican legislators saying fuck the voters

these ones are the voters saying fuck republican legislators

key thing we learned from Virginia campaign

Republicans are freaked the fuck out about accountability

Not just Trump, all of them - including their billionaires, like Thiel

They fear what's coming when Dems win - and Dems need to be ruthless about it

The YES has won in Virginia; voters approved the constitutional amendment to adopt Dems' congressional gerrymander.

This is likely to deliver a 10-1 (Dem) congressional delegation in November, compared to 6-5 (Dem) now.

The remaining obstacle: State supreme court will be weighing in still.

When Trump began pressuring Texas and other red states to re-gerrymander their maps, the immediate consensus was that Democratic-led states could do little or nothing to counter it. But it turned out that Democrats were anything but helpless.

And in fact Republican states like Utah and Ohio have retained their gerrymanders in open defiance of successful referendums demanding non-partisan redistricting

Reports indicate Elon Musk controls a secretive network of over 90 companies and entities so he can hide how he spends his money.

No wonder he wanted the Trump admin to “look into” the Corporate Transparency Act, which would have regulated those companies.

Charlotte council member pushes for water, power regulations for future data center developments CHARLOTTE, N.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — With more data center applications going in front of the Charlotte City Council, two resources are at a premium: electricity and water. “No growth should c…

A year ago, this conversation was on no one's docket. Now here we are. Glad to see it.

"Charlotte council member pushes for water, power regulations for future data center developments"

Little to disagree with on most of this of course, but to note the one point of disagreement, I'll re-up on why the whole 25th Amendment commission stuff is bad on the policy merits, non-viable as a strategy, and rhetorically a mistake.

Mayor Mamdani and a group of children hold hands while running through red tape in a hallway.

For too long, bureaucracy kept 7 child care centers across our city empty — spaces that should have been alive with laughter instead collected dust.

We've run through that red tape. This fall, all 7 will open their doors, bringing an additional 240 free 3-K seats & real relief to working families.

This is such an inside baseball thing that literally zero voters truly give a shit about. Media obsesses over it because it is low hanging fruit.

I never heard of him until someone said he was shocking his dog on his livestream.

Which turned out to be bullshit, what he did was yell at his dog for being a dog on his livestream, which is not as bad but bad enough that I thought "Fuck that guy".

And I have since yet to be convinced otherwise.

They have chosen an associate and will skip The Lottery this year.

The lies
The illegal wars
The abuse by ICE
The grifting
The inflation
The destruction of the White House
The political prosecutions
The delusional behavior
The bizarre social media posts
The threats of genocide against Iran

We can end it all
And it begins with Virginia

OK this only looks cool now out of a mix of novelty and nostalgia. This is not objectively cool and was not at the time.

So, to keep prudish asshole members of a cult from having the vapors, Ohio is making it illegal for women to wear a sports bra or tights in public.

This standard will *never* be applied to men. It's only used to control women.

Government bounties on Christian prudes need to exist.

Remember the radicalized right wing Republicans screaming death panels about Obamacare??

It’s always projecting with these heinous people.

States must stop predatory, anti-rights order taking hold Amnesty International calls for resistance in this pivotal moment for humanity.

Annual human rights report from @amnesty.org calls Trump, Putin and Netanyahu "predators" who "carried out
their conquests for economic and political domination through
destruction, suppression and violence on a massive scale."

In public, the chief justice loves talking about how the Supreme Court’s work is not political. Memos published by The New York Times show just how political the Supreme Court’s work actually is.

Make sure to listen to the very end, when the Pastor responds to the ass whooping he just received.
Perfect reaction from the other three.
