NEW: Virginia just passed a law to join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, giving it 222 of 270 electoral votes needed to activate. This map and spreadsheet show which states could join to activate it by 2028 depending on the outcome of the 2026 elections docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Electoral College cartogram showing which states are in the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact and which ones could join in time for it to activate by 2028. Each state is sized and labeled according to its number of electoral votes. The states are spaced out enough to accommodate the changes in size but retain their general shapes and relative positions on the map.

Current members are in solid orange, potential members are in light green, and nonmembers that are unlikely to join are in medium gray. Members have 222 electoral votes, potential states have 68, and the unlikely states have 248. The compact would only activate once states with at least 270 electoral votes have joined.

The seven potential members and their electoral vote are Alaska (3), Arizona (11), Michigan (15), Nevada (6), New Hampshire (4), Pennsylvania (19), and Wisconsin (10). Democrats would need to gain the governor's office and/or legislative chambers to win unified power in these states, as detailed in the spreadsheet linked in this post.

Lol. The most toxic part of our oligarchy would collapse, and the oligarchs would have you believe that means you, too. But it very much does not.

I wrote about Sinners. Watching so many Black folk call the film "demonic", I explain how its central horror -- and triumph is that the film casts Black/African spirituality as an effective challenge to Western Christianity. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Opinion | ‘Sinners’ is a Black challenge to White Christianity

Ryan Coogler’s masterpiece mixes African spirits, the American church and the power of music into a terrifying brew.

Not even a controversial statement to say that if white people wanted this to stop badly enough it would. Not even a controversial statement to say that among the voting populace it is white people's fault it's gone this far. And if you're white and that offends you it's because a hit dog hollers.

One tiny note that I haven't seen anyone mention: Musk's statement, "I've never done anything harmful; I've only ever been productive" carries (and relies upon) the unstated assumption 'anything that is productive cannot be harmful.' We can't allow this shit to go uninterrogated.

I think the funniest thing about boomer shooters is that they were basically kicked off not with DOOM but Wolfenstein and the answer to "What Do You Do To Nazis" was at one point so unambiguous that it made more sense to shoot them than deamons from literal space Hell.

As we watch the GOP dismantle the federal government with swift urgency, we must acknowledge the reason we are here is Dems do not move with that urgency. When Roe was overturned, Dems held the House, Senate, and White House. Instead of codifying Roe, they fundraised off of it.

10. Over time, the PM role shifts from being a team's most prestigious, well-paid job to being treated as "unimportant admin work" they shove onto underpaid women. And so, the cycle of systemic devaluation of women’s labour continues, while men are rewarded for refusing to step up. /end 🧵

heck of a one-two punch here

3 posts from @safety.bsky.app that say:

1. The current controversies reveal weaknesses in the clarity of our Community Guidelines and failures in our communications. This has led to understandable confusion about how we interpret our guidelines. We need to be more transparent - without revealing to bad actors how to circumvent our systems.

2. Our growing moderation team needs clear evidence and well-defined rules to make decisions that can be consistently enforced, so they action accounts based primarily on content and behavior that appears in our app, where the context and authenticity can be directly verified.

3. We do not currently take action on accounts that share Bluesky screenshots with commentary, unless that commentary violates our Guidelines. We will take action when someone's private information is shared without their consent, but only when it is personally identifiable and verifiable in-app.

the last sentence of the first post and the first sentence of the third post are underlined in red. a red arrow points from the first to the third

11yo’s class had their final D.A.R.E lesson today. Apparently the cops promised ice cream to the class with the most kids wearing D.A.R.E shirts - my kid’s class - and then they just… didn’t give out any ice cream. So thanks, D.A.R.E, for teaching my kid the most vital lesson of all: that cops lie.

As a person who's been involved in the development of numerous codes of conduct and an observer of shifting norms...offsite behavior should ABSOLUTELY be considered when evaluating abuse reports. It's common to organize harassment offsite, often very transparently.
