Texas just redistricted itself deeper into fascism. Why aren’t blue states doing the same? If the GOP rigs maps to kill democracy, Dems must rig them to save it. Gerrymander back—or die quietly. We’re not bound by rules the other side set on fire.

In Alabama, deputies uncovered what a sheriff called the most disturbing child abuse case he’s seen in his 33 years in law enforcement. Inside a bunker, at least 10 children were harmed as part of what the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office described as a criminal operation involving sex trafficking.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.
