They cannot win on their merits, this is mapped “dei” for fascists.

The North Carolina legislature is set to pass a new Trump-inspired gerrymandered congressional map.

The move is likely to give Republicans nearly 80 percent of US House seats in an otherwise closely divided swing state where Trump won 51 percent of the vote in 2024.

Republicans are making one of the most gerrymandered states in the nation even more rigged

North Carolina Republicans just passed a new Trump-inspired congressional map to oust a Black Democrat.

Regular Americans don’t give a shit about a clean CR. They care that they can afford their insurance premiums.

For the next No Kings, do you recall WWII film clips of people singing mocking songs about the axis? Here is one repurposed, to the tune of Col Bogey march:

Elon has only got one ball,
Homan, has two but very small.
Miller is rather sim'lar,
But poor old Donald has no balls at.

We need more songs

What got me was when they took down a perfect hundreds year old oak tree to make way for this monstrosity they’re building. There was something so symbolic and indescribably sad about that to me. The house and the grounds have seen so much history and stood solid for so long. Only for… THIS shit.

What Micro Johnson does not get: we read history, that is why we are standing up *before.* To put it in terms he may understand, after you get a cavity you learn the value of brushing your teeth. MAGA is eating pure sugar and going straight to bed with a dry toothbrush.

When I hear “ConGraTS We DonN’t haVe A KinG” I say we read history, that is why we are standing up *before.* To put it in terms easier to understand, after you get a cavity you learn the value of brushing your teeth. MAGA is eating pure sugar and going straight to bed with a dry toothbrush. #nokings

Already a follower. I hope they go full fledged, cable tv, regional coverage through the nation. Show the no kings events live. Force the other outlets to wake up.

Oddly, I wonder about a new channel, while I haven’t turned on a tv program in near a decade. Perhaps this screen is the new channel?

They need to remove any justice that lied to be installed. Any that went against their own statement of stare decis should be out.

I have been curious what it takes to make a network. Blue owned, blue supported. Our choices now are wretched.

Simple messaging. People are nuance adverse. Co-opting religion. Fear.

From the book “Brundibar” by Kushner, illustration by Sendak. It is their version of an image I have long had in my mind. Destructive, vindictive, regressive politicians are sharks teeth. One falls out the next is already there. #djt #gop

The evil of the GOP in a Kushner poem:
They believe they've won the fight. They believe I've gone- not quite.
Nothing ever works out neatly. Bullies don’t give up completely.
One departs, the next appears.
And we shall meet again my dears.
Though I go, I won’t go far.
I’ll be back. Love,
Brundibar
