Virginia voting FOR redistricting in favor of Democrats underscores how stupid Donald Trump was to start this redistricting war in Texas. Much like Donald's poorly thought-out war in Iran, his gerrymandering war is BACKFIRING on him. What a sad, simple man.

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

BREAKING: The so called 'SAVE' Act has FAILED in the Senate and will not become law. I wrote this piece on how in reality, this is the Voter Restriction Act to prevent women from voting. It is fascism and would have installed Trump as a permanent dictator. www.qasimrashid.com/p/the-save-a...

Notice how many are in science and the arts. Ohio University is closing their UG music therapy program that’s existed for 75 years b/c they missed the average # of graduating students by ONE over the last 3 years. A huge disparity of an essential healthcare service in the Appalachian region.

The only way to really get under his skin and really dole out the kind of punishment he’d actually respond to would be to stop talking about him altogether. Carry on as if he doesn’t exist. That would actually kill him.

While everyone is here, support trans people. Support POCs. Believe women. Everyone deserves human rights. Also, vote everyone out of office that let the country get this way. All of them.

I actually would like to know his thoughts on how the academic rigor of a liberal arts education can be updated for the current economic status and job market. But also awww 🥹

This graph perfectly captures the difference between Trump1 and Trump2. Trump 1 was a coalition government between the GOP Establishment and Trump, with most top positions filled by the former. Trump2 is a single-party government, with almost all positions filled with Trump cronies.

The amazing, letter-perfect performance of NASA this week is a ferocious rebuke to the right-wing fools who constantly tell us that for-profit businesses always do a job better than the government.

EVERYBODY'S HOME!!!! god something about the mission commander being last out of the ship really got me. I know it's such a tiny thing but we're just surrounded all the time by leaders who don't give a shit and just like, the symbolism of making sure your people get out first is a lot

I promise, we won’t

There is no McTry.

It is hard to capture what a sweeping strategic defeat the war in Iran has been for the United States. I’m going to thread here some of the posts today that try to capture those effects. Here’s the first:

Women

losing contact with the earth for 40 minutes sounds nice

I don’t take anyone seriously who uses the word “towards”

This is one of the most important stories of the week that you probably missed. The trump admin is basically taking something that belongs to all of us & giving it to political hacks & corporate donors. It’s an outrage & we should push back hard.

Hell yeah

Dear Humans, If a Dem candidate for 2028 is not running first on EXACTING SWIFT AND WONDERFUL JUSTICE on the war criminals in this administration, then you must join with me in throwing that candidate into the lake of fire. Thanks, God

like planet earth, i too look like i have my shit together from an incredible distance

we gotta send so many guys to the Hague

I know it’s competing with an illegal war and 10,000 other major scandals but I feel like people should be making a bigger deal out of the DefSec systematically trying to resegregate the military

Flames. Flames, at the side of my face…

New study finds that framing vaccines as a matter of personal freedom can meaningfully shift vaccine-hesitant people toward acceptance, while standard government-recommendation messaging may actually backfire with that group. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Appreciate the tldr

It’s arguably less a war than it is just a string of war crimes

MARINERS 🥳

Duke won’t solve this until one of their own throws Stephen Miller into an active volcano

Switching over to the Mariners game. LOVE the Sunday unis!!

Oh, Duke. The whole fucking game, man.

To whoever did this at the #NoKings in Boston: Thank you.❤️ It made me tear up. And we must to be reminded of needless damage to humanity that results directly from the careless, bellicose bluster coming from the Pentagon and White House.

New from me: The Senate offered a bipartisan solution to the growing airport crisis. Mike Johnson rejected it, empowering Trump to selectively grab more legislative powers by illegally paying TSA agents. This is an actual constitutional crisis folks. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/mike-johns...

okay so AI is absolutely cratering imminently and I need all of you to PROMISE me you won't take the high road, and will laugh and rub it in their faces as much as possible. I need you to laugh and go 'WE TOLD YOU SO, BITCH" at every opportunity, PLEASE be extremely mean and ruthless

It’s so funny that Venezuela will beat the U.S. Utter perfection.
