California voters are leaning YES on the redistricting ballot. 48% in favor, only 32% opposed. People get it. The narrative is on our side. Remember: CA puts it to the voters. Texas skipped the people. Ours is a one-time fightback that returns to the commission. Texas’ gerrymandering is permanent.

Trump claiming slavery wasn't so bad is part of a pattern. It's a Christian Nationalist theme. Pete Hegseth's pastor Douglas Wilson, in addition to saying women shouldn't be able to vote, claimed that "there was a mutual affection between slaves and their masters."
