If gerrymandering is legal for the GOP lead states then it’s null and void in Democratic states, emergency executive orders, temporary suspend the independent committee, is not extreme in this case. Let’s even out the playing field.

Larry Summers: "This is way beyond anything Nixon ever did ... this is the stuff of democracies giving way to authoritarianism. Firing statisticians goes with threatening the heads of newspapers, launching assaults on universities, launching assaults on law firms. This is really scary stuff."

If Harris were President, I’d be posting about healthcare for all and free lunches for kids and more funding for schools and journalism. But, Trump is President so I have to post about concentration camps and thugs kidnapping people at work and kids working overnight in meat packing plants.

Gerrymandering undermines the power of marginalized communities by manipulating district boundaries to weaken their collective voice. For Black, Latino, Indigenous, immigrant, low-income, and other disenfranchised groups, this often means remaining unheard in the places where decisions are made.

Metadata Shows the FBI’s ‘Raw’ Jeffrey Epstein Prison Video Was Likely Modified
There is no evidence the footage was deceptively manipulated, but ambiguities around how the video was processed may further fuel conspiracy theories about Epstein's death.

You can’t just vote the fascism away, you’ll need to build from the ground up to make sure it can’t take hold of power again after it’s defeated and that starts by overhauling the current system that rewards wealth hoarders over the well being of the community and nation. #3E #BindingChaos

I do not meet Medicaid requirements, but my healthcare premiums became affordable when Missouri expanded Medicaid. Medicaid cuts will impact my insurance. It will impact my rural hospital. It will impact my life. It’s all connected.

Garcia: That “no tax on tips”—those actually expire in a couple of years. So it just goes to show you: this is all about games. Billionaires get a permanent tax cut, and the “no tax on tips”—which, by the way, is very limited in scope—expires in a couple of years.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

This bill affects everyone. So you have health insurance, your rates will increase and given inflation cost, and the cost of living is also going up, caused by this regime, so the oligarchs can get there tax break that we have to pay for.
