🚨 This is horrible. I hope Virginia can address this defeat of democracy before midterms. 🧾 Virginia Supreme Court strikes down redistricting push in blow to Democrats www.cnbc.com/2026/05/08/v...

Present: All the Justices
DON SCOTT, IN HIS OFFICIAL CAPACITY, ET AL.
v. Record No. 260127
RYAN T. MCDOUGLE, VIRGINIA
STATE SENATOR, ET AL.
OPINION BY JUSTICE D. ARTHUR KELSEY MAY 8, 2026
FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT OF TAZEWELL COUNTY
On March 6, 2026, the General Assembly of Virginia submitted to Virginia voters a proposed constitutional amendment that authorizes partisan gerrymandering of congressional districts in the Commonwealth. We hold that the legislative process employed to advance this proposal violated Article XII, Section 1 of the Constitution of Virginia. This constitutional violation incurably taints the resulting referendum vote and nullifies its legal efficacy.1

So, SCOTUS says Red states can ignore the will of the people and gerrymander their districts 9-0 in favor of MAGA But VA Supreme Court says Blue states cannot put the vote to the will of the people and follow through on the people's will to redistrict. Beyond Absurd. 2/2

BREAKING: Virginia Supreme Court throws out redistricting referendum results Even though Virginians put this to a vote and the people of Virginian voted for this redistricting, apparently the will of the people is irrelevant now. 1/2

While detained illegally by the Israeli regime, Saif has faced death threats, threats against his family, prolonged stress positions so severe he required oxygen, violent transfers, and relentless interrogation. He has now entered a dry hunger strike. The governments of Spain, Brazil, and Sweden must act immediately to protect their citizens and demand their release. The world must act to uphold international law, justice, and basic humanity.

"The right never lost their faith that if they were patient and determined enough, the 1960s could be undone — and maybe some of the 1860s too. They knew that even after a statue of a slaveholding traitor is torn down, defeat is not permanent. In fact, that statue may *literally* be raised back up."
