If Texas does a non-census-year biased redistricting, California and New York should respond in kind with extreme prejudice. It’s a shame, because CA’s current party-neutral process is where all states should be. NY definitely needs improvement.

Let’s have a conversation about what happens when someone is raided like this and instinctively opens fire on ICE agents. In that scenario, at least one person almost certainly dies—possibly a federal agent. That’s bad enough. But what do you expect this administration will do next?

The silent era in the USA was pretty much over by 1930 but I am looking forward to the public domain for it because it may result in Vitaphone films being reunited with their discs. Fox used sound-on-film but Warner used sound-on-disc (separate records) until 1931

The executive targets his opponents w/bogus investigations. His government disappears people w/out due process and vanishes them beyond reach. He usurps legislative power, controls public funds at will, & consolidates power. Loyalty is expected — or else. Authoritarianism isn’t coming. It’s here.
