Hasan Piker suggests that “violent revolution” will be “inevitable” in wake of Dem losses in the redistricting battle.
hasanabi@hasanthehun
the va supreme court denied the results of the redistricting referendum. scotus gutted the voting rights act and tennessee carved up the last dem district destroying black voter power in the state. those who make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable

SCOVA declined to stop the voting. Then struck it down after it passed

It’s incredible that we’re about 20 years into the current homelessness crisis and not a single political faction can put together a coherent analysis of the problem and a realistic solution.

The governor just signed the map, so this rating change is now official:
TN-9 Safe D to Safe R
Kyle Kondik@kkondik
just to lay down a marker, if the TN map passes, all 9 seats would be Safe R, so the House topline would be 212 at least Leans D, 208 R, 15 Toss-ups

Sen. Collins says she has “an essential tremor, which I have had throughout the entire time I have served in the United States Senate. This benign condition, which affects approximately 1 in 20 people over the age of 40, does not interfere at all with my ability to do my job. The tremor is occasionally inconvenient, and sometimes the subject of cruel comments online, but it does not hinder my ability to work and, as I said, is something that I have lived with for decades.”

Haven’t seen a positive review of this book, even from sympathetic critics.
Understandable. It’s a rambling mess; Kendi completely outmatched by the topic.
The Atlantic@TheAtlantic
Ibram X. Kendi’s new book, "Chain of Ideas," describes the "Great Replacement" theory as the product of a conspiracy—but he fails to explain why it appeals to people in the first place, @GalBeckerman argues: theatlantic.com/books/2026/05/…
