EXCLUSIVE: California Common Cause advisory board members quit in gerrymandering fallout. It's a fraught moment for an organization that has historically fought the kinds of partisan map-drawing that California Dems are now pursuing.

We are at war with fascism. We have to taken steps to combat radical racism and a power grab by some of the worst among us.

I respect their principled action, but its time to get your hands dirty to save democracy, and to protect the constitution and the rule of law.

Fighting fair when only one side is following the rules is a prescription for the BS we currently have. Fight fire with focused fire! 🔥

We are facing a dictatorship . Trump is attacking our democracy. Now is not the time for weakness. Who started this middle of the decade redrawing in the first place?

Clearly they are not paying attention. If we don’t meet this head on they won’t need to ever worry about it again because we won’t be a democracy.

Politico reporting Texas new maps - brave and historic… California new maps - fraught and troubling…

Some people don't realize the danger of clinging to the old rules(good rules indeed) when the other side is blasting through all norms and existing processes.

I understand they dont want to lower themselves to tactics like this. But how else are they expecting to compete with people who don't play by the rules?

Voting and representation should based on the population. Unfortunately the GOP controlled states have gerrymandered the hell put of their states. Why should the Dems be held to a higher standard?

Politico's Nazi boss having a sad that Newsom is fighting against the pro-pedo Republicans in Texas? Has Politico ever denounced Republicans for rigging maps to help a Nazi pedo (Trump)? bsky.app/profile/jonc...

When you are facing evil there is no substitute for victory. Common Cause are as anachronistic has the pacifists of the thirties. I am glad they are gone!

Looks like other blue states will need to do the same since the gerrymandering will now spread to other red states. Battle of the maps.
