living in a world where the only two jobs are “gambling” and “murder” isn’t nearly as cool as Cowboy Bebop made it out to be

Indiana’s Senate has voted AGAINST the GOP gerrymander that’d have locked in a 9-0 map.
This keeps the 7-2 map in place, saving two Democratic seats heading into 2026.
The vote failed big, 19/31.
The MAJORITY of the GOP senators opposed it!

Their closing message to Indiana: change your maps to artificially benefit the President's political party or 'roads will not be paved' as punishment.
They are openly saying this.
Who would want to live in a country that works like that?

Today I was verbally harassed by 3 sales reps from @cleanchoiceenergy.bsky.social going door-to-door in Chicago, trying to con me into switching electricity supply. Lied about being "a subsidiary of ComEd" & my "bill was flagged by ComEd with an overcharge". Couldn't/wouldn't explain any details...
