This is awesome. Just listened to Tom Petty in Patagonia, BBC News in the Midlands and now Libyan pop in Benghazi.
I'm no purist when it comes to participating in things we all know are bad. I try to reduce my harm but I'm an honest hypocrite.

I find the resistance to 2025 gerrymandering in Indiana and Missouri interesting bc I think it's another data point that MAGA is incredibly dependent on low-info voters not actually knowing the specifics of what Trump wants to do. Once it comes to their doorstep in plain terms, they're out.
Missouri organizers who want to block the GOP gerrymander say they've collected twice as many signatures as they'd need.
(It's always common to aim for a lot more than the threshold to avoid disqualifications, and in this case state officials will go against them hard.)

I am curious if there is anyone here who would be willing to do a six month deployment to Congress where they just object to literally everything, direct their leg staff to force one impeachment vote a day, and deal with all the threats and bullying from the establishment until Trump is removed.

Based on the results in TN, there’s no way the proposed new gerrymander for IN-01 works out for Republicans. It would already probably be a loser for them even before you factor that Lake County, IN, which would make up two thirds of the district’s population, is a quarter Latino.
