"Democratic governors and state legislators need to realize that this is no longer about fairness; it’s about fighting back so that they are not engineered out of the House forever. And I get that Dems don’t have the stomach for this kind of warfare--- find it."

Thoughts: 😆 😅 😁 😂 🤣 🤣 🤣 #ItsFunToPretend 👍

One sentence to destroy them all.

A reminder while Republicans bitch about Dems finishing the redistricting fight they started: they have full control of gov’t— they can pass a law banning gerrymandering any time they want. They won’t. Republicans aren’t mad gerrymandering exists; they’re mad that they’re not the only ones using it.

"This is an important thing to think about."

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.

Trump just issued a last-minute warning to Virginians that if they vote YES on the redistricting referendum tomorrow, he will lose power: “If the Democrats get additional seats, they’re going to be making changes at the federal level.”

He only cared about ONE thing...how it looked on TV. Enough has been said regarding the impossible healing job...not enough said about the depravity it takes to kill your followers to make good television.

NATIONAL LIBRARY WEEK Believing a 12-year-old is mature enough to give birth to her rapist's baby, but needs parental approval to check out a book, is peak Republican. Tomorrow, I’ll post a reminder to the GOP about book bans and censorship :-)}

Sometimes the preface to the question actually answers the question...🤷‍♂️

A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000 miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

THIS.

Massie on Howard Lutnick: "He should just resign. Three people in Great Britain resigned for less than what we've seen Howard Lutnick lie about. He clearly went to the island, if we believe what's in these files. He was in business with Jeffrey Epstein."

NEW: A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.

Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."

So about 5 ounces per person? Life-changing results, Dr. Oz!

America under felon Trump

Name them shame them

In other words, appeal to hatred. It's something being tried in Canada, too. But I think our multi-party Westminister parliamentary system is more robust to it. As well, we are not subject to: (a) years-long election campaigns (b) unlimited political donations (c) rampant gerrymandering

I Really Don't Care- Do U?

I don't care if it's not true, this man is the hero we need.

"I was only following orders" wasn't an acceptable excuse at the Nuremberg trials & won't work now. #AccountabilityIsComing

A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot. "They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets." "They had the professional demeanor of criminals." ht: @paulgraham.bsky.social

The federal government is executing American citizens in the middle of the street for exercising their constitutional right to freedom of speech. This is tyranny. No free people can accept this kind of government. We need to bring an end to the Trump regime.

How could half the country not see this coming? www.outdoorlife.com/conservation...

ICE agent asked why he's taking pictures of a legal observer's car, replies: "Cuz we have a nice little database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that."

It’s -9 degrees. Downtown Minneapolis is packed for the anti-ICE rally and the crowd keeps growing

Smith: Again, and I think all of us, if we're reasonable, know that there's going to be more crimes committed by these people in the future. I do not understand why you would mass pardon people who assaulted police officers. I don't get it. I never will.

The money that used to help Americans get healthcare is now being used to sponsor state terrorism. You can’t afford to see a doctor but the guy with no diploma and no skills is getting paid that money to intimidate and harm citizens.

"Should we vote to give more money to the people shooting my constituents in the face?" is not a complicated political question. And yet, Democrats don't seem able to answer it.

Honestly. There is no easy fix to <waves in GenX> alla this. But a starting place could be to address the CRIME of Citizens United. Corporations are NOT people. Money is NOT speech. And the place we're in right now? Owes a LOT to those two things being perverted by Citizens United.

We must stop the purchasing of our elected representatives by big money seeking favors.
