After France, Denmark is moving too: its Digitalisation Ministry plans to phase out Microsoft, switching to Linux and LibreOffice in the coming months. The goal is clear—reduce dependence on a handful of global tech giants and strengthen digital sovereignty.
Republicans in Congress & on SCOTUS blocked Dems from ending gerrymandering nationwide multiple times since 2019.
Dems redrawing maps in response to GOP gerrymanders is the only way to make a pro-reform House majority possible or convince the GOP that gerrymandering no longer serves their interests
Image of a Virginia Democrats' proposed congressional map that is drawn to elect a ten-to-one Democratic majority and flip four Republican seats in 2026. The district lines are displayed over top of a basemap with major roads and cities labeled. The districts are colored by the 2024 presidential winner's margin of victory, with Kamala Harris districts in blue and Donald Trump districts in red. Darker shades represent larger margins of victory. An embedded chart shows the 2024 presidential election results and the adult population racial demographics in each district. Harris won 10 of the 11 districts, with Trump winning just a single district in western Virginia. Black voters would retain their ability to elect their preferred candidates in Districts 3 and 4, which remain safely Democratic.
Breaking (🧵): Virginia has PASSED a referendum that would let Dems redraw the congressional map for 2026 in response to new GOP gerrymanders in other states (pending VA Supreme Court review).
It targets 4 Rs to elect a 10-1 Dem majority.

1. The central claim in the indictment of SPLC is a lie.
The DOJ/FBI accuse SPLC of lying to donors about seeking to “dismantle” extremist groups while secretly funding them. But the funds were used to infiltrate & help law enforcement dismantle these groups. Kash Patel knows this is the truth…
The Supreme Court found that a school acknowledging the existence of LGBTQ people was such a violation of freedom of religion that they had to allow opt outs but now the 5th circuit says kids being exposed to the ten commandments isn't. The law is such a joke.
In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces.
249 years later, we have this idiot.
Indictment of @splcenter.org is based on clear false narrative.
False: DOJ and Kash Patel's claim that SPLC supported white supremacist groups via paying informants.
Reality:
“We frequently shared what we learned from informants with local and federal law enforcement, including the FBI."
BREAKING: Texas can require public schools to display the Ten Commandments in classrooms, a U.S. appeals court rules.

Let's be clear: The Trump Admin's vendetta against the SPLC is a sign of how impactful their work is.
The SPLC has been at the forefront of exposing some of America's most notorious hate groups, like the KKK. The fact that the Trump Admin feels threatened by that speaks volumes.
This is so heinous, I do not know what to say. This shit devastates me.

(10)(12) "Nudity," "nude," or "state of nudity" means the showing of the human male or female genitals, pubic area, vulva, anus, anal cleft, or cleavage with less than a fully opaque covering; or the showing of the female breasts with less than a fully opaque covering of any part of the nipple.
(12)(14) "Seminude" or "state of seminudity" means a state of dress in which opaque clothing covers not more than the genitals, pubic region, and nipple of the female breast, as well as portions of the body covered by supporting straps or devices.
In addition to the made-up category of "seminudity," HB 249 also expands the definition of "nudity" to include "cleavage" and uncovered "anal cleft"
I dunno. Maybe the journalist could have quoted the bill rather than bothsidesing it.

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.
