🎉 BREAKING: WE DID IT! 🎉

After days of intense pressure from D.C., the Indiana Senate REJECTED the mid-decade gerrymandered map!

This victory belongs to every Indivisible member, every activist, and every Hoosier who called, emailed, and showed up.

We all need to spread the word!
Help Americans get the ID they need to vote. Take #AoCChecklist Action 10.

Requiring voter ID is a discriminatory barrier to voting. More than 21 million U.S. citizens don’t have photo ID. Let’s be part of changing that. americansofconscience.com/12-05-2025/#...

And the denials begin. Once a liar always a liar, especially after losing his brain.
Maybe Donald was up to no good if authorities have to block the faces of the six girls he surrounded himself with because they were underage and being trafficked.

That fall in international tourism is about to skyrocket. And ew - who wants to extend courtesy to the ones they will let in?
They would never let me into this country if I weren't already here
In addition to 5 years of social media history, CBP would also require tourists to provide all phone numbers used over that period, any email addresses used in the past decade, DNA and iris scans, and the names, addresses, birthdates and birthplaces of family members

1/ The Flying Dragon nebula (Sh2-114) | December is driving me crazy: over the last two weeks the weather has alternated grey, rainy days with others sunny, seemingly crystal-clear at night—except it isn’t, because the sky is constantly crossed by fog banks and “sheep-clouds”. ⬇️

Making America GREAT a great BIG POS to match the lying POtuS in OUR White House.
Republicans announce the entire state of Indiana will be defunded if they do not obey Trump by gerrymandering their state.

“Roads will not be paved. Guard bases will close. Major projects will stop.”

Why not - compared to POtuS, and most republicans, he's a real upstanding guy. LOL 🙃
“Do Pete's statistics say that he should be in? Yeah. But I think character has a lot to do with it”

He’s 2 years away from his debut on the Hall of Fame ballot. So is baseball ready for Pete Rose, Hall of Famer?
