The GOP could, of course, propose a national gerrymandering ban in the House tomorrow and it would pass with veto-proof majorities.
So, you know, if they don't like it, there's a solution.
NBC News has called the race for the YES.
And now for what you've been waiting for — the reaction of Senator Louise Lucas, one of the main instigators of the 10-1 map. She does not post on here, so linking to her post on X: x.com/SenLouiseLuc...
This is monstrous. Just profoundly shameful behavior by our government.

Media needs to stop with "critics say" and just quote the actual language of the bill.
HB 249 creates a new category of "seminudity" which can be used to arrest women who aren't nude, but are wearing clothing — leggings, t-shirts without bras — that religious groups feel is too provocative.
Yet again, the thought: how is this not embarrassing to him, to his followers, to everyone? How is this revelation alone not enough to end his career, to make him a universal figure of mockery? How can anyone support, or respect, or fear someone so viscerally *pathetic*?
Meatloaf is cruel and unusual punishment.

A screenshot of a post on X (formerly Twitter) by Magyar Péter (Ne féljetek), with the handle @magyarpeterMP. The post reads: "Until 31 May, the Orbán puppets may voluntarily step down from their positions. This applies to the President of Hungary, the President of the Curia, the President of the National Office for the Judiciary, the President of the Constitutional Court, and the Prosecutor General. On 12 April, the Hungarian people voted for a complete political transformation. If these officials do not step down voluntarily by 31 May, then — on the basis of the mandate received from millions of Hungarians — we will remove them from office." At the bottom, the timestamp reads "3:04 AM • Apr 21, 2026" alongside "19.9K Views".
Peter Magyar is not playing around at all. He's going to purge every single remnant of corrupt Orbanism. This is exactly how Dems need to be when they retake power.
Never been more convinced that House Alito was behind the Dobbs leak. Getting it out there locked in Kavanaugh's vote amid Roberts and Breyer efforts to flip him, then Alito argued that the dissenters needed to hurry up because of security threats. How incredibly convenient
the thing about our current moment is that yes, the anti-AI and anti-big tech people are getting very reactive nowadays - but have you seen what they’re *reacting* to?
let's make a cultural value judgment: palantir are a bunch of execrable fascist shitheads and their ideas go against the basis of every civilized country on earth, from which they should be extirpated like the intellectual cancer they are

I must listen to the birds.
And in order to hear the birds,
the warplanes must be silent”

How is this not an outtake from Idiocracy
folding up a little note that says "I support feminism" and tucking it in my pocket as I eagerly buy tickets to the He-Man Woman Haters Gala
We live in a country where the two most dynamic, charismatic, eloquent politicians of this century have the first names Barack and Zohran. This is what bothers the white supremacists so much.
A VCR never sold my private info to a nazi
"Israni told this news organization that between 2022 and 2025 she was registered as 'No Party Preference,' despite re-registering as a Democrat last year. She is currently campaigning as a lifelong Democrat."
That's not what "lifelong" means. It is just absurd she tells you up front she's lying.
the president of the united states is personally looting the treasury to the tune of literally billions of dollars and that he is not being immediately removed from office and tried for high crimes against this country is a devastating indictment of every part of our political system
Buy one, get one free.
This is what happens when we stay silent until fascism affects us.
to hesitate on this while trailing by 20+ in a Democratic primary
The defense secretary is derisively comparing the media to a maligned group of rabbinic Jews, the FBI director is denying reports of drunkenness on the job, the vice president is in a two-front theological war with the pope and Erika Kirk, Donald Trump is still president, and gas is $4. Happy Friday
I do not want to create an account or open a subscription I just want to buy a thing and never hear from you again why is this so hard.
It shocks me how many businesses still don’t seem to get that Trump’s cultural revolution did not actually happen
These fuckin chuds
Naming your biology LLM after Rosalind Franklin is… hell is not hot enough
I like to imagine that Zohran Mamdani, Socialist African-born Muslim, was literally willed into existence by the collective psychosis of the Tea Party GOP over Obama, like the ectoplasm under NYC in Ghostbusters II
this is why you're not supposed to cross those databases, idiots
It's hard to articulate the level of anger & rage I have about watching this happen. I first saw weev doxx people I love *TWENTY* years ago. I spoke to founders of multiple social networks about the risk of these people over 15 years ago. I wrote about it all a dozen+ years ago. They let it happen.
All I’m saying is that U.S. Catholic leaders have told Dems FOR DECADES that they may not call themselves “Catholic” if they’re a public figure who disagrees with church on key teachings.
The idea being that if you’re prominent & Catholic, you have a special responsibility to represent. 🧵
