The Democratic Party's approval rating is in the toilet, and the main reason is voters see Dem leaders and prominent members acting like things are basically okay instead of fighting like there's an emergency. Slot "my friend Lindsey Graham, so funny, how great to work with him" comments into that.

Democrats must gerrymander to save democracy
Redistricting is, in nearly every respect, a zero-sum game. When you remove a guardrail, the consequences are immediate and trigger others.

King Charles’ choice to ignore the Epstein survivors underscores that he punished his brother Andrew, not for victimizing such survivors, but for victimizing Charles by allowing Andrew's behavior to be made public. Such a dreadful inconvenience for the royal family!

NEW: Ahead of the 2024 election, I said I would not let Trump suppress the vote. While legacy media insists on treating Trump's lawlessness as one side of a legitimate debate, the pro-democracy movement must be louder than ever. And I will not be lowering my voice, @marcelias.bsky.social writes.

I will not lower my voice
The media's insistence that Trump's critics are part of the problem gives cover to false equivalence — treating his lawlessness as one side of a legitimate debate.

Aside from who started it, states like CA and VA putting a counter-gerrymander up to a referendum, where people are told and can make a decision on the context for why it's being done, has vastly more democratic legitimacy than state legislators rushing it through because they got bullied by POTUS.
