Instead of whatever this is, we should have a government getting lots of new homes and apartments built, lots of clean energy built, lots of high speed rail and transit and bike lanes built, human rights for everyone, economic & healthcare opportunities for all, & innovation that leads the world.

James Talarico: The Bible doesn't mention abortion or gay marriage, but it goes on and on about forgiving debt, liberating the poor, and healing the sick. The closest thing we have to the kingdom of heaven is a multiracial, multicultural democracy where power is truly shared among all people

The reference to California gives away the game. The court should be considering the Texas case under its own legal situation, which was completely different than the CA voter-enacted law.
The fact that both the unsigned 6–3 majority opinion and Alito's concurrence (for Alito, Thomas, and Gorsuch) open with a reference to California's redistricting leaves one with the strong impression that this decision, like California's, is about tit for tat.
![SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
No. 25A608
GREG ABBOTT, ET AL. v. LEAGUE OF UNITED LATIN AMERICAN CITIZENS, ET AL.
ON APPLICATION FOR STAY
[December 4, 2025]
With an eye on the upcoming 2026 midterm elections, several States have in recent months redrawn their congressional districts in ways that are predicted to favor the State's dominant political party. Texas adopted the first new map, then California responded with its own map for the stated purpose of counteracting what Texas had done. North Carolina followed suit, and other States are also considering new maps.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qrllvid7s54k4hnwtqxwetrf/bafkreib7k7524ynq3rfb7daons5fqmxc5wx75ga3gihx45fxq5xwlgk4dq@jpeg)

They’re putting ads into AI results. It gets shittier and shittier. I hadn’t fully appreciated that their master plan is 1) push AI into every product conceivable and then 2) load it with shitty ads. Nuke these companies
Ah, of course they’re going to push out ads in it. Doctorow’s Enshittification in action once again. Capitalism ruins everything eventually, doesn’t it?
