Okay? I was hoping there was a part two. Presidential elections actually have nothing to do with gerrymandering. It’s about “balancing” power. Also as an aside, there are almost 19 million registered voters living in Texas. So almost half didn’t vote. We are talking about fair representation here.

Colbert called him a human slim Jim and now that’s all I ever see.

it's not just that capitalists rely on free reproductive labor in order to accumulate capital—the entire process of creating the next generation of workers is itself a form of profit for the capitalist. giving birth? that'll be $20k. childcare? another $20k/year. why? because you're just a machine

Missouri Democratic lawmakers are in such a superminority that they don’t even need to show up for laws to be passed in this state. An even sadder statement? A piece of legislation can go from the House to the Senate to becoming a law on the Governor’s desk while never being signed by a woman.

There’s 8.1 million registered democrats in Texas. 6.6 million Republicans. The delegation consists of 38 total members, with 25 Republicans, 12 Democrats and 1 vacancy. Texas is a rigged state. Has been for at least thirty years.

Eleven more libraries will reopen on Sundays, thanks to the leadership of the City Council. They never should've been closed in the first place. As Mayor, I'll end this absurd budget dance that keeps our beloved libraries in limbo year after year.

The extremely simple fact is that Jeff Epstein was the most notorious child sex trafficker in history, and the President of the US was his close personal friend for decades Acting like this is complicated is absurd. The man knew what Epstein did, didn't care, and participated

Sorry, but they voted for him. I mean, I get that it’s more nuanced than this, but I live in Texas where we’ve been under fascist rule for thirty years. Never once voted for anyone even tangentially close to ol’ Greg. Still. I have to be somewhat accountable for the lack of change in my state.

It’s costing taxpayers $450/M annually & Alligator Alcatraz concentration camp is already flooding. Imagine a hurricane. People are going to die. There’s always enough money to hurt folks, but when it comes to public transit, low-income housing, schools, or public healthcare, “Sorry, we’re broke.”

This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.

We have a madman in the White House who is actively trying to trigger total war. If Jeffries, Schumer, or any other Democratic leaders try to justify this, shrug indifferently, or write a strongly-worded letter and call it a day, they need to step down or be aggressively primaried.

This lady pops off about her Republican family, who said they didn’t vote for Kamala Harris because she was going to take us into World War III. Sounds like denial to me. Her family used WWIII as an excuse. But I like her callouts on Trump.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

The military isn’t being employed to carry out an immigration policy. The immigration policy, and especially the way the administration is choosing to carry it out, is an excuse to call out the military.
