The flip side of Callais: Blue states may soon be compelled to "unpack" their majority-minority districts drawn to comply with the Voting Rights Act.

That could net 12+ House seats for Dems if they're ruthless enough.

But at the very real cost of congressional diversity. slate.com/news-and-pol...
Republicans’ near-permanent House majority, however, is not inevitable—even if SCOTUS does deliver a death blow to minority voting rights. That’s because the court’s decision would also allow blue states to draw more efficient Democratic gerrymanders, redrawing current majority-minority districts to maximize the party’s electoral advantage. Freed from the VRA’s constraints, states like New York, New Jersey, and Illinois could move more Democratic voters out of deep-blue districts into red and purple districts, eliminating more than a dozen Republican seats in the House.

Such a strategy would require painful trade-offs: Congress could become even less diverse, since racial minorities in blue states would have fewer opportunities to elect the representatives of their choice. And the number of truly competitive House elections would shrink even more, further eroding democratic accountability. The net effect, though, would be a substantial boost for the Democratic Party that could offset many of the gains that Republicans are poised to reap. The result may not be a Republican-dominated House so much as a Congress with far fewer members of color—an outcome that the justices bent on destroying the Voting Rights Act blithely dismissed on Wednesday.
Zero excuse for Republican leaders calling for Americans to be sent to gas chambers.

#VoteBlue 💙🇺🇸
The Vice President of the United States stood behind his official-seal podium yesterday, defending and *seeking to excuse* Republican leaders who praised Hitler and called for foes to be sent to gas chambers.

Every patriotic, freedom loving American must #VoteBlue for all candidates, in every race.
“The first industrial revolution mechanized physical labor; this one, Huang argues, mechanizes cognitive labor. The implication is profound: productivity, creativity, and economic growth could all accelerate as computation becomes both cheaper and more pervasive."

If ICE, Trump's boater murders and self-dealing, his illegal use of military and funding cuts to attack Americans, and hiding of the Epstein files to protect child sex traffickers weren't enough, this is yet another reason to #VoteBlue, for every candidate, in every election

We could make America great again by adopting 1960 top marginal tax rates for annual incomes, say, over $1 million.

The minimal appropriate remedy for Trump's sacrifice of America's constitutional democracy (and, in many cases, his affirmative, illegal destruction of its institutions and traditions) -- in order to further his personal power and family wealth -- is complete disgorgement of all ill-gotten gains.
Americans who want to save our democratic republic must #VoteBlue, for every candidate, in every single race.

California bans sale of all new Glock pistols through licensed dealers, starting 1/10/26.

Gov. Newsom signed the ban into law on 10/10/25, targeting Glocks and similarly designed semi-automatic handguns that can be easily converted into illegal machine guns.
