One thing you will never think after reading a great book or listening to a great album or seeing a great piece of art is, “I’m really glad this person remained cautious while they were making this and guarded against being perceived as weird.”

This looks like a lotta fun.

“Voters went along with it” is a hell of a way to describe democracy functioning correctly
DC statehood yesterday
A painting of a bird beside the text "exactly what kind of dipshit do you think i am?"
republicans will yowl and piss and moan and that to my mind is all the reason to do it
SCOOP: Two weeks ago, the head of the CDC delayed publication of a report showing covid vaccine cut likelihood of ER visits and hospitalizations by half. Now that report is no longer allowed to be published in CDC’s flagship scientific journal. My latest. 1/2

the conservative reaction to the virginia results remind me quite a bit of their reaction to the 2012 presidential election, where they were offended that democrats ran to win
i think it is cool that the president of the united states routinely slurs black people as biological inferior
Oh no majority rule WON, that’s unconstitutional
People who were openly rooting for a president-for-life a year ago mad about gerrymandering sounds like you’re just losers who don’t like losing
May Day has been declared a day of civic action in Chicago schools, which means buses will be provided for students and educators to join the rally in Union Park.
They think you're stupid.
Washington Post Editorial Board headline: “The Texas gerrymander freak out. What’s happening in Texas is not a threat to democracy.”
Washington Post Editorial Board headline: “Virginia plunges America deeper into the gerrymandering abyss. The redistricting scheme was always a power grab by Democrats. Voters went along with it.”
The Washington Post Editorial Board was fine with Republicans gerrymandering in Texas.
But when Democrats responded in Virginia, it’s a “power grab” that “plunges America deeper into the gerrymandering abyss.”

Spoilers: there are no good reasons to segregate
He's a liar and a killer. I don't know what else to tell people, he's a rich eugenicist, he wants as many poor people as possible to die in the name of 'health.' He's a genuinely and uniquely malign figure in American life and his appointment was an act of violence
The Washington Post opinion headline from the editorial board. Headline "Virginia plunges America deeper into the gerrymandering abyss" Subhead: "The redistricting scheme was always a power grab by Democrats. Voters went along with it."
Hilarious posturing. Oh did the Democrats finally turn up to the gun fight with a knife? Mercy mercy, when did this all get so violent, lands lands.
somewhere along the line repub conservatism became a gag, then it became a grift, & then it roped the progressive dems in, & all hell has broken loose ever since. we cant survive w/ 2 parties sharing a common platform: if one thinks small, the other HAS TO think big by default to protect the people.
You guys call leftists purity testers and all this other shit. You call us pinkos and denigrate us and extremists and all this.
We want your fucking kids to go to school and eat healthy meals and grow up and be safe and have jobs and not be institutionally murdered by the state.
Humble yourselves.
Let's call this policy what this is.
It's socialism. It's Leftism. And it's curing actual ills. Righting institutional wrongs.
It's not coming from someone who is infallible, or someone who is always correct.
It's coming from someone who promised to help and is trying to keep those promises.
“To say that President Trump is corrupt is to somehow understate the size, scope and magnitude of his corruption.
It is as if you were to describe a modern thermonuclear device as a ‘bomb.’ That is true enough, but it is not quite the truth. It does not capture the nature of the thing in full.”
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
The number of Republicans crashing out about getting nakedly gerrymandered is, unironically, a sign that we need to do more of it. You guys are correct! This shit sucks! Welcome to the party, pals! We can all stop doing it any time you like!
GOP - *gerrymanders*
DEMS - hey stop that no fair
GOP - *gerrymanders even more*
DEMS - we mean it we’re gonna sue
SCOTUS - *legalizes gerrymandering completely*
DEMS - *start gerrymandering*
GOP - HEY STOP THAT NO FAIR!!!! 😭
Trump thought he could steal the midterms by making MAGA minions rig the House maps.
They thought blue states would sit back and do nothing.
We proved them wrong. Thank you to VA Indivisibles and organizers across the commonwealth for this huge win and your commitment to protecting our democracy.
