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.

I might have actually found the wildest Mommunism take yet. What the helly

The strategy should always be about seizing levers of power away from them.

Fascists cant be shamed. They arent committed to rules & institutions. When they overturn them there is no cognitive dissonance. A political strategy aimed at calling them out wont stop them, because the problem is not that they're inconsistent.

So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out

US Representative Rashida Tlaib delivered a forceful public statement rejecting claims that a ceasefire is currently in effect in Lebanon, accusing fellow lawmakers of repeating what she described as inaccurate language.

Talking to a liberal about this a few weeks ago, he expressed disapproval that democrats wanted to redistrict. Even if to even the playing field, he opposed on principle. I was a bit flummoxed at the time (I dont talk to democrats much). But glad to see voters understood what it takes to seize power

Two things can be true:

Congress should pass uniform, national legislation reining in partisan gerrymandering; and

Until that happens, or every state adopts an independent redistricting commission, neither party is going to (or, frankly, should) unilaterally disarm.

Time and time again we hear govt ministers condemn Israel's flagrant breaches of international law but take no real action. This is simply not enough.

Ban settlement trade, stop all arms sales to and military cooperation with Israel, and pursue investigations into war crimes.

extension of the “ceasefire” is unilateral declaration by Trump w/no (AFAIK) official Iranian response.

Iran has prev made clear that it regards USA blockade as ceasefire killing violation (this is why we write things down & do process in diplomacy) & said it won’t negot w/blockade in place

Iran says it won’t negotiate or open the strait of hormuz with the USA blockade in place so…not much changes.

I don’t know what’s happening behind scenes and it seems like too much to hope that some degree of reality is setting in with trump & sycophants.

Like, that is not in top 3 options

Trump extends ceasefire with Iran, says blockade ​of Iranian ports will continue | CBC News U.S. President Donald Trump said he is extending the ceasefire with Iran to give its leadership time to "come up with a unified proposal."

The headlines are saying “Trump extends ceasefire,” but here’s a reality check: The U.S. military blew a hole in an Iranian tanker 2 days ago, with the ceasefire supposedly in effect. Trump follows the rules when he feels like it.

Ever seen a poll result that is basically telling the pollsters themselves to go touch grass?

Trump's "petro-imperialism" is pushing the US and Iran to the brink A botched bombing campaign, a naval blockade, and threats against civilian infrastructure have cornered Iran into a fight it can't back down from.

Donald Trump has threatened to commit war crimes against Iran again by decimating civilian infrastructure , so yeah. War is not going well!

By Orban they actually mean Putin.

The theory of the case -- that the SPLC defrauded donors by promising to "dismantle" hate groups while secretly paying informants inside said hate groups, a tactic that it has carried out for nearly half a century -- is completely absurd.

Because you always want to make sure your troops might be incapacitated with a preventable illness in the middle of a war…
