How do we put an end to partisan gerrymandering?

There are three basic ways. None of them are easy - but important stuff rarely is.

New op-ed from Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman:

"Netanyahu will not change course until the equation changes...That equation only changes with an arms embargo. An arms embargo is the only leverage the United States possesses to end the genocide in Gaza."

The video of Trump’s deportees arriving in El Salvador is horrific.

This is 21st century Nazism.

Identities concealed, trafficked to a foreign labour camp. No due process, no evidence of crime. Dehumanised.

Where is the global outrage?

The crime is historic; the normalisation catastrophic.

“Those nasty Canadians are ripping us off and are controlled by Mexican cartels. They’re poisoning us with fentanyl and need to become the 51st state or they will pay a high price” is a belief that literally ZERO Americans had six weeks ago. It’s entirely invented from scratch.

Welcome to the life of anyone at NASA who ever dared to point out a flaw in the logic of anything SpaceX wanted to do.

“Why do you hate space? Don’t you want to go to space? You know he’s like a genius, right? Are YOU a genius? Do YOU have a billion dollars?”

The stupidest fan club.
In my experience, the Musk fanboys don't even acknowledge when you point out the data is faked. They just repeat "oh so you don't want Musk investigating all that waste, fraud, and abuse? What are you hiding?"
But its supporters will never see the corrections. They’ll just move on to the next set of bullshit claims. When you call them on one, they’ll point to the others and say, “Well look at all this other smoke. There must be fire.” While they’re literally running a bunch of smoke machines.
