As long as they don't do it through a vote, aka democratically, they should be fine haha. time.com/article/2026...

Because we're not a Democracy! How clear can they make it? Voters are paying the price for the 2026 redistricting war : NPR share.google/9p9r85GAS2UI...
Good thought but go farther. Money is the root of our dysfunction. No need for more qualifiers.
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
VOTERS don't want GOP redistricting. Only the waste of space trash people who hold all the power want it. In VA, they are now "investigating" the Dems who led the DEMOCRATICALLY PASSED redistricting. They will stop that while pushing through everything they want in red states. It's so overt.
NEW: Tennessee voters came out to oppose the GOP’s new rigged maps 🔥

You mean that what drove up property values in Crystal City to the point where my family could not afford a tiny townhouse was all a lie? 😱 patch.com/virginia/old...
F yeah it's constitutional. Much more so than TX, where the Republican takeover is branded as the GOP making good for the party. VA, on the other hand, is said to be increasing partisan rancor. F off. Virginia court rules in favor of Democrats on redistricting share.google/HPd7YgYhe4v4...
Maternal and reproductive rights and protections are essential. I'm glad Spanberger is stepping up for this, I hope it makes it into the VA constitution. virginiamercury.com/2026/04/22/s...
Love this guy. He's spot-on. Also congrats VA for not being entirely dumb! We are here to fight! (Check election news if this makes no sense.) thehill.com/homenews/cam...

So, Tuesday is when the nukes hit? Nice being alive for a bit.
This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

Trump (and his regime) is the manifestation of America's base impulses, inspiring deep hate, fear, and greed. I hope this is repudiated and he is impeached come Nov, but I truly can't read the country. Truth is we are all under attack, and some still can't see it. Does this take us down for good?
Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him. “When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."
End NATO and start a war, taking whatever he wants, whenever he wants it. This is where we are. He will try to take Greenland. Of course he will. And he can, because nothing has ever been disallowed, and there are endless sycophantic accomplices. thehill.com/homenews/sen...
I don't care if Venezuela is "ecstatic" as NPR claims, THIS IS ILLEGAL AND HE NEEDS TO BE DEPOSED. If we don't get rid of him and everyone around him, this is going to be the model. Taking what you want is fine. Good luck Taiwan, Ukraine, and Palestine. My heart hurts.

Let's not waste taxpayer money on clean water to CO, let's use it to build a copycat monument to hubris, money, and the general state of things (aka shit). wjla.com/news/local/t...
Happy New Year! 🎊 Let's start off with some truth. This is what we all knew, watched in real time, and for me, lived next to: Trump made Jan 6 possible. Here's to another year of watching this administration get away with the long con version of that riot. www.npr.org/2025/12/31/g...

Impeachment isn’t an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent. Impeach, convict, remove. And if our current leaders won’t do it, they need to step aside for people who will: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jo54...
I've said it before and I'll say it again: if you need to resort to redistricting tricks to win, you aren't supposed to win. That's not representative democracy, that's rigging the result. www.ebsco.com/research-sta... www.npr.org/2025/11/21/g...

I didn't think VA had the stupidest senator out there, but I learn something new every day. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...
@kaine.senate.gov - I am among the VA residents who are very disappointed with you for voting with the tyranny. This can only serve to strengthen the hold of Republicans. I guess you feel safe because you aren't up for reelection in '26? Hope it's worth it, whatever you get out of this.

Here's the real fucking mandate! VA, NJ, NY, and more, this is how it's done! Proud to have done my small part. And a big hat tip to Cincinnati for re-electing Pureval and not falling for pastor half-brother Vance. www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblo...

Thank God for small miracles. Dems don't squander this, I know that's hard for you. Republicans, if you need the unfair stolen advantage to keep power, that's not Democracy and nobody wants it but you. www.axios.com/local/richmo...
