πŸ™„ Not so. It was essentially gerrymandered from the start, initially to prioritize the β€œwisdom” of large property owners (providers) over newly-arrived city dwellers (takers). The politically-driven creation of sparsely populated states (eg North/South Dakota) made the partisan bias even worse.

WatchπŸ‘‡Rep AOC (D-NY) connect the dots on income inequality and the rise of authoritarianism, and MAGA Republicans say she’s just a bartender. I’d like to see one of them pontificate on this subject for 2 minutes, ain’t happening. #TrumpAffordabilityDisaster

Prosecutors stunned as ICE lets suspect in $100m jewelry heist leave US Jeson Nelon Presilla Flores, charged with stalking armored truck in 2022, allowed to self-deport to South America

What a disgrace.

ICE may have handed a suspect in the largest jewelry heist in American history a free pass by deporting him before he ever faced trial.

This is the result of Stephen Miller’s chaos. Reckless mismanagement that undermines public safety and makes a mockery of the justice system.

β€œofficialjackwhite This post would basically get anyone, at any job fired immediately...except for arguably the most important position in the world. That's right, trump is a racist, a rapist, a felon, a grifter (currently ordering the US govt. to pay him 10 billion dollars simply because no one will stop him.) and a full on dementia sufferer, and yet he has the power to send in gestapo ICE soldiers to kill our citizens, and so much more dangerously, has the nuclear codes and the ability to end humanity at any moment based on an egotistical whim. How is it possible we've given this evil man so much power? The two party system, the electoral college, the responsibility that the internet has brought to humanity and its direct conflict with truth, and America's obsession with celebrity, are all to blame, but the fact that we aren't stopping it is...insanity. Arrest this man. Impeach this man. 25th amendment this man. Indict this man. Jail this man. This longtime friend of pedophile epstein, who appears 40 thousand times in the files. This demolisher of the White House, demolisher of the Constitution, demolisher of the Bill of Rights, this demolisher of America full stop. It's hard to believe the government does almost nothing about this lunacy and we just all have to sit back and watch as a people.

How Not to Defeat Authoritarianism Moderation used to help Democrats win, but its advantages now have been greatly exaggerated.

Timeline: How the Shooting of Alex Jeffrey Pretti Unfolded (Gift Article) A moment-by-moment analysis of video from the scene shows that Mr. Pretti was already restrained when fatal shots were fired, which appears to contradict the federal government’s account of the event.

I spent the morning at the San Antonio immigration court. It’s out of control.

Crawling with ICE - arresting legal immigrants showing up for court appearances.

I asked one officer who they are prioritizing. His answer: everyone.

I need to share with you what I saw.

I have no idea if Jordan, Biggs, Thomas, etc ran in the same circles as the 🍊felon back then, but Jordan definitely WASN’T β€œtoo young” to be into some depraved shit. And it’s obvious Drumph has serious dirt on sniveling Graham.

β€œIn Oklahoma, we will continue to put students before political indoctrination agendas.” It’s not that they’re blind to irony. They’ve simply embraced hypocrisy as SOP, or perhaps even virtue. It’s written into their playbook; overwhelm opposition by drowning them in unapologetic BS.

Wtf. 🀬 Why did the @$$hole disconnect the safety system? He shouldn’t be in law enforcement AT ALL, let alone in the capacity of a school/canine officer. Academies are clearly selecting candidates using the wrong criteria.

Worse, his excessive wealth has exacerbated all of his myriad pathological tendencies. Very few billionaires have enough strength of character to remain decent, but Musk started with a rotted core, and money allowed all of his malignancies to flourish & metastasize.

Presumably, the 13% are MAGA (they didn’t all move to Idaho or TX, sadly), but since only ~1/3 of CA voters are R, that means close to 40% of them think having NO values is cool. 40% of dems reacted (appropriately) with disgust. The real kicker is that 60% of CA VOTERS are *#^& asleep.

When he graduated from college (summa cum laude) & landed a highly-competitive job, my son bought a used Tesla as his 1st car, thus fulfilling a goal he set for himself while still in high school. It represented far more to him than just owning a vehicle. The Tesla board should have jettisoned Musk.

I left in my 20s, but Canadian pride was a universal & tangible value growing up. Pretty sure this offends at least 99.99% of Canadians, even those living abroad.

What an appalling POS he is, and Musk as well.
