Really interesting brief read
Echoes of War@EchoesofWarYT
🧵137 years ago today, at exactly noon, the U.S. government fired a cannon and unleashed the most chaotic real estate transaction in American history. 50,000 people. 2 million acres. One afternoon. By sundown, entire cities existed that hadn't existed at lunch 👇

Happy 104th General Raaen, the last living officer to land on Omaha Beach on D-Day.

Dear President Trump, Thomas Sowell is an American treasure. Please consider honoring him with the Presidential Medal of Freedom. I can’t think of a greater representative of American values.

Notice how this looks like a normal map of where people live?
And not an insane mess of zig zags and squiggles?
Carolina Forward@ForwardCarolina
Absolutely none of these unserious and unprincipled people have ever had a problem with North Carolina Republicans' egregious partisan gerrymandering in our state. They're not against map-rigging - they're just shocked and appalled when it's Democrats doing it.

@LateRoundQB If you're in Oakland anyway, the Carnegie Library and museums are great, too!

I haven't lived in Pittsburgh in about 16 years, but I grew up there and went to Pitt. If you're there for the draft, there are three things I think you should see/experience:
1. The Strip District. Just experience it. You can go to Primanti Bros there, too, if you want.
2. Ride the incline. The top of Mt. Washington is really cool. The best view of the city is at the West End Overlook. (Maybe a Yinzer will debate me on this.)
3. Pitt's campus isn't downtown, but it's not super far. Go see the Cathedral of Learning. I've taken friends there and their minds were blown that it's a real place. #Hail2Pitt
There are loads of other things, and those three places definitely hold a special place for me — I was married at a church in the Strip, went to Pitt, etc. But they're cool and unique to the city.
English
Republican "gerrymandering" is just acknowledging the political and demographic realities that there are different cultures in different areas, and we should have representatives that actually represent them and largely align with the values of their district, while Dem "bipartisan re-districting" is pretending that a certain number of rural areas simply have to be represented by a completely different culture in a city 50-100 miles away in order to be "fair," and there are certain Republicans who are so afraid of being called "unfair" or accused of not following the "good bipartisan rules" that they feel they have to pretend this isn't the case to not offend the sensibilities of communists who would cheer for their murder.
English
Cracking and packing. GOP gerrymanders look good, because it is usually about packing dems - who have nicely concentrated themselves - into a very few 90% D districts. DEM germanders look terrible, because they have to crack those concentrations and string them together with areas far flung that have nothing in common with each other.
English
The wild thing about this is that it looks wildly less gerrymandered than Virginia's or Illinois'.
Erickson@erickson_68
🚨 Florida Republicans plan to address redistricting in April via a special session. The GOP can pick up 5 seats with an aggressive redraw to cancel out whatever Virginia Democrats do. Let’s get it done, @RonDeSantis!

There was a deliberate effort in the late 90's, early aughts to make houses easy to resell. Neutral became the goal and personalization was an error. So we stopped making homes and started swapping assets. Kind of like the temporary implication in the emergent phrase "based in [city name]," modern people are too cool to be tethered to a place. Upgrading must always be on the table. We design our houses as the pit stops they are.

@ccpecknold An idea as old as time. "Fairness" and "justice" are "nothing but the advantage of the stronger" or "doing good to friends and harm to enemies," so say Thrasymachus and Polemarchus in the Republic. Leftism always works its way back to these old definitions.
English
Democrats never disputed that the referendum gave them disproportionate representation.
Nor did they dispute that they deceived the public, misrepresenting the nature of the vote.
The “fairness” meant only ONE THING: permanently removing opponents from power.
Political Will.
English
Seems clear to me that the reality is that they are still our best current ally, and still have a large population of conservatives, but just like America and every other westernized nation, Israel has been infiltrated with leftism, and we should denounce the leftism there the same as we do in every other country, not try to act like it's a defining feature for them but somehow isn't for America or other western nations when we fall into the same traps of gay race communism.
English
Look, I don't like this at all. They should repent, cancel this, and turn to God. However, I just have to note that many anti-semites are pointing to this as evidence that Israel is all wicked secular leftists, coming from the same people who claim that Israel is all devout Jewish religious fanatics who want to wage war for the purpose of bringing about the third temple or something. They somehow don't see that these two claims are clearly in conflict.

The SPLC is a criminal organization that funded “right wing hate groups” and organized fake right wing protests so that it could then turn around and fundraise off of them and use them as a pretext to crackdown on conservatives nationwide. Keep in mind that every leftist activist group is just as corrupt, dishonest, and sinister as this. SPLC is the tip of the iceberg.

@CaseyMattox_ This in fact means there is no such thing as a Virginia constitution. It's just a meaningless piece of paper. It is pure democracy, mob rule, tyranny of the majority, the kind warned about by everyone from Aristotle to Hamilton.
English
Among many other things, it is absurd that a 50% +1 vote can amend the Virginia Constitution.

Kind of feel like we lost Virginia when Democrats decided they were okay with their Attorney General saying his Republican opponent and children should be shot.

America's reading problem, explained as if it were sports:
Imagine every 8-year-old in the country gets assigned to the same baseball team. 30 kids per coach. The kid who's been swinging since he was 4 and the kid who just picked up a bat yesterday are in the same drill, at the same tempo, getting the same cues.
Nobody gets evaluated. Nobody gets a personalized plan. The coach runs one practice for everyone and moves on when the clock runs out, not when the players get it.
Some kids are already bored. Some are lost. Most are faking it.
This goes on for 12 years. Six hours a day. Every day.
At the end, we hold a combine. Only a 1 in 3 of the players can make contact. The rest swing and miss at pitches they should've learned to hit in T-ball.
The league's answer? Raise the coaching budget 36%.
That's American reading. Per-pupil spending is up 35.8% since 2002, inflation-adjusted. Adults stuck at the lowest literacy level climbed from 19% to 28%.
More money in. Worse hitters out.
Athenaeum Book Club@athenaeumbc
About 54% of U.S. adults (ages 16-74) — roughly 130 million people — read below a 6th-grade level. Why does nobody talk about this?

You really can’t make up a more Orwellian referendum.
The Democrats redistricting referendum radically changes Virginia from a 6 to 5 purple state into a solid blue state with a 10 to 1 advantage for Democrats.
They call this “restoring fairness.”
It’s a LIE.
VOTE NO.
Christian Heiens 🏛@ChristianHeiens
Please be sure to vote NO tomorrow in Virginia! Polls will be open from 6:00am to 7:00pm.
