@fawfulfan As far as I understand, SCOTWI has not prohibited _congressional_ gerrymandering. What I'm thinking of is the Dems winning the legislature this year, and then passing an amendment that allows for _state legislative_ gerrymandering.

@eschensam Okay, but, 1) Democrats would have to win the legislature first to be able to propose such a thing. 2) Even if they do this, and succeed, it doesn't make Wisconsin permanently blue. It just gives Dems an advantage in the House delegation for a period of time.

@CatSplotchy @fawfulfan Which means when the Dems take the state legislature, they can gerrymander the congressional map, but due to the SCOTWI ruling, they'll need an amendment to gerrymander the _state_ legislature in favor of Dems going forward, which I would really like to see!

@fawfulfan @eschensam Their State Legislative maps were extremely gerrymandered in favor of the GOP until the State Supreme Court imposed fair maps in 2024, and their Congressional map is still a GOP gerrymander.

@fawfulfan The thing is, depending on the VA gerrymandering amendment results next week, there's a non-zero chance WI could try (and succeed) at the same thing.

When Mum and Dad passed away last year, I found this letter in their bedroom. I’m pretty sure it kick-started their 60 year relationship - Mum was clearly besotted.

one of the strangest subplots in the fallout from cesar chavez being revealed as a monster has been the split between conservatives like greg abbot going: “finally a chance to take on the labor movement” and online conservatives like this guy who are just axiomatically pro-rape
PoIiMath@politicalmath

I'm not exactly a Cesar Chavez booster but there is something about the insta-erasure of anything problematic that unsettles me

@archaicf0ssil When this first aired I recognized the original episode this scene came from, and I was amazed at how Uhura's expression now looked like "Hello, why haven't I noticed that fine looking man before now?"

Captain Kirk and Captain Sisko getting to interact is my favorite piece of fanservice I was practically hooting and hollering at my tv screen while watching it. It's so impressive how well done it looks.

End CEQA and start fresh. Environmental review has its place but not from the POV of some 1970s environmentalists who think any construction needs to be studied and litigated, and projects have to contort themselves to have leeway in case busybodies abuse CEQA like they always do

@Homiedino A few intelligent souls realized that the only way to make a meaningful dent in US military support for Israel is to start winning some congressional elections, but they have been either ignored or derided as "electoralists engaging in the empire" or some BS.

@April_Sassy Non-leftists were perfectly happy with Fetterman from the end of the 2022 primary to Trump's 2025 inauguration. Leftists have been weeping in abject repentance since mid-October 2023. We spent 15 months telling mainstreamers we were wrong, and they were like, nah, he's good.

The lefties who promoted John Fetterman over Conor Lamb & Malcolm Kenyatta in the 2022 Dem primary deserve this outcome. Because Lamb & Kenyatta would've both been a solid No & Mullin wouldn't have made it out of committee. I told you so about Fetterman 4 years ago.
Manu Raju@mkraju

John Fetterman gives key vote to send Markwayne Mullin’s nomination to the floor with Senate panel approving nomination, 8-7. Rand Paul voted with Dems and voted NO

@goat_classic @LinkofSunshine Israel has nukes. If they get wiped off the map, they're gonna take the entire Middle East and north Africa with them. Do you want to kill 200 million Muslims? I don't.

Bum rushing all Mamdani pressers to demand his position on progressively more obscure border disputes. It is time to end City Hall’s shameful silence on West Papua, the Schleswig-Holstein question, self-determination for Åland, and the legality of the annexation of Vermont.

@SapnaPatelAW @demsocsean I defy anyone to point out more than the tinest handful of voters who voted for Amiwala/Simmons or stayed home specifically because they think Abugazaleh is too hawkish on _Taiwan_.

Pritzker’s stock in the Democratic Party just went up: he got his candidate elected to the U.S. Senate—almost entirely on his own dime—against an exceptionally well-funded opponent, and in the teeth of serious concerted opposition from influential House Democrats.
Peter Wolf@peterawolf

There are at least two races tonight—U.S. Senator and Comptroller—which are important for Pritzker. He’s put a lot of his own money into Stratton’s campaign for Senator, to the anger of the CBC His former CoS is also running for Comptroller against Mendoza’s endorsed successor.

Folks we really need y’all to sign up to knock doors for Claire and the DSA slate. We have a real chance to show the DSA difference here, and a sweep would really lock in the difference between politicians who center the collective vs the ones more interested in their own brand
