Every Democratic state that can do this, should do this.
Then, when we control the levels of power in DC, we ban gerrymandering for the entire country. Once and for all. Everyone playing by the same rules.

It's worth noting here that Elon's principal objection to the reconciliation bill is that its Medicaid cuts are not nearly savage enough. If Elon wants to damage Trump great but there's no Dem tent big enough to include the "kill hundreds of thousands of poor Africans for kicks" guy
i will donate to a khana primary challenger, I know top 2 makes it hard, don't care

Our protest was small because of the rain, but they’re doing it again on Thursday. I spoke briefly about racist and bigoted book banning in school libraries.

This will be very bad. Worse, the new US may well refuse any aid. Keep Myanmar in your thoughts.
A major M7.7 earthquake struck Myanmar 40 minutes ago, a few tens of km from Mandalay, with 1.5 M inhabitants. At such distance significant damage is unfortunately expected. Our thoughts are with those affected 🙏🏽

The question is whether the public, the courts and the media will recognize and call them out as political. Will they stand up against them or will people stay silent and allow them to continue.
