South Carolina, where the first shot of the civil war was fired, where 40 percent of those enslaved came through the Charleston port, is today engaged in an ugly recidivism to draw maps that will deny a Black person the chance to serve in Congress.
The stakes could not be higher.
Our political fight is not on a playground, but a moral battleground.
We must stand for Black representation across the South.

UBI is here, it's just unevenly distributed.

Again, UBI is here, it's just unevenly distributed. Right now, you can live handsomely if you live in a blue state and are willing to commit light fraud.

This is excellent creative thinking on how to overturn the redistricting decision: Lower the retirement age of justices on the VA Supreme Court and whoosh, they all have to go. Appoint new judges, rehear case, get a different ruling. the-downballot.com/p/how-virginia…

Here's how to save Star Wars:
1) Produce no new live-action content for five years. Instead, produce once a year a high-end animation featuring side adventure taking place in between the original trilogy with the beloved original characters. Reach the kids, build good will.
2) Take all the attractions at the theme parks and refit them all to only be about the 6 Lucas films. Remake Rise of the Resistance into Rise of the Rebellion, Smuggler's Run into Solo's Run, etc.
3) Bring back the nostalgia during these five years. Market only the unifying and hopeful characters and content of the past that are timeless.
4) Five years from now, begin a new trilogy based on Timothy Zahn's outstanding best-sellers depicting what happened after Return of the Jedi. Recast the original characters still in their primes during this time with unknowns, and forbid them from ever making political or cultural comments on social media as part of the moral clauses in their contracts. Same for all the directors, producers, key grips, best boys, literally everyone.

My uncle, Captain Wylder Modine, was a real B-17 "Flying Fortress" pilot during WWII. After returning from a bombing mission, he got hit by anti-aircraft fire and almost had his right arm taken off. He had his crew bail, but his co-pilot was shot up really bad and couldn’t parachute, so my uncle, with one arm, landed the heavily damaged B-17 in a field behind enemy lines. He was awarded the Air Medal and Purple Heart. I talked with him before making MEMPHIS BELLE in 1989. He gave me his dress uniform to wear in the film and said, “when you put that on, don't disrespect it.”

@burby_geek "Holden Caulfield was right." Yeah, you've already shown terrible judgement.

This H-1B worker has lived in the US for nearly 20 years and built a family here. His mom was dying in India. To visit her, he would need to wait months to book a consular appointment--with the soonest one available likely being scheduled one year out.
He made the difficult choice of not visiting his dying mom because leaving without an appointment would mean separation from his children, job, and his other obligations.
Much of the commentary around immigration focuses on how such bureaucratic burdens undermine immigrants’ ability to contribute and innovate. But we must remember that this red tape also prevents these people from being fully engaged with their own lives and meaningfully present in the lives of others. This matters too, and these seemingly non-economic problems will eventually translate into economic costs.
If America is no longer a place where people feel empowered to be the best versions of themselves as they celebrate, struggle, and grieve, it ceases not just being the land of opportunity, but also the land of dignity and purpose.
