MO Gov Mike Kehoe is calling a special session to gerrymander the 5th District which encompasses Kansas City. He is specifically violating Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which bans any voting practice that denies or weakens the power of a racial minority to elect its preferred candidates.

Do you know about acrylic paint markers? Real acrylic paint, that you can paint over with a different color when u it dries, or blend when still wet. I love mine.

This already exists, its the Unitarian Universalist Association. We're activists, fight for social justice and all beliefs and people are welcome. If you're looking for a community for support rn, and I believe we all need one, your local UU congregation is a good place to start.

They are sending soldiers into cities to prepare to intimidate people at the polls next year. They gerrymander because they can’t win on policy. They intimidate because even gerrymandering won’t work at this point.

Name a group or culture in the world that does not have violence in its history. That's not the point. But if you want to talk about rape, slaughter, and slavery, don't leave out Western Europeans and what they did to the indigenous people in America. Fair is fair.

Many cultures worldwide gave creation myths where the woman eats fruit from a tree and gains knowledge. In every culture but Judeo-Christian, that is celebrated as a good thing. If someone tells me knowledge is bad, I know right away they want to control me.

I know we don't have any good choices left, but I can see where this is going. The party that ends up redistricting more seats wins and stays in power indefinitely. That's scary because Idk if the Dems win that battle, and either way I think it leads to civil war and the collapse of the US.

Tbh I don't think banning guns will change anything at this point. Something like 120 guns per 100 people in the US, we're so saturated with guns we could ban all of them today and not decrease gun violence.
