🏙️ Do district-based elections change who gets elected locally?
➡️ Studying California's recent shift, M Cushing-Daniels, D Jones & @brookenshannon.bsky.social show they increased representation from lower-income areas and reduced business influence www.cambridge.org/core/journal... #FirstView
I love the incredulousness; “these numbers are of course opposite of what we predicted” lol

Texas isn't a conservative state, it's a suppressed state! That's why they make it so hard for poor people and minorities to vote, they know we'd evict them with a quickness lol
Bad news for Republicans: I saw a billboard that said, “Executing citizens is not protecting the border” on the highway outside of Temple, Texas. Oh, y’all are cooked cooked!
Community meme: I CAN EXCUSE FASCISM. BUTI DRAW THE LINE AT MERCANTILISM.
The Supreme Court:
Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.
Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.
He can say whatever he wants and issue whatever executive order he wants, but he has no legitimate power to actually do anything like this.
Panicked posts like this one give the impression that he can make good on his threats. He can't.
Girl what? Impeachable, one count for every time they bring it up
“Cut ICE’s budget to restore federal health care funding” is an extremely popular message www.politico.com/f/?id=000001...
Thank you! The one on the right was a foster, who we miss a lot. Mr Chicken on the left though, he stays 🥰
The white supremacist halftime show got about 5 million views, which signals there’s only like 5 million racist old white men left?? Excellent news, that’s not enough to win an election
We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”
I love The Pitt, but S2 has me annoyed at how every advanced or attending doctor is portrayed as cold and rigid compared to the male doctors’ empathetic rugged know how. Petition for a cool woman doctor character for once?
I'm dying for someone to go, "Hey fuck you, buddy" one of these days
I need you all to know that it snowed/ iced NINE days ago, and we are still asynchronous. The city is so unprepared for weather that occurs at least once every 2-3 years that our only option is to wait for it to melt before resuming life. That is a policy failure!
Ice out
Recall that Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered not long ago by a fake cop who showed up at their door looking like this guy
A friend shared with me a girl scout cookie link from a group that's having a hard time selling in Minneapolis right now.

Ironic that Demon mentions liking Catcher in the Rye in the book!
Image of Rep. McClellan’s father’s poll tax receipt from 1947 in Davidson County, Tennessee.
Like many across the Jim Crow South, my father paid a poll tax to register to vote. He kept this receipt in his Bible as a reminder of the price he had to pay to exercise the sacred right to vote.
The 24th Amendment, ratified 62 years ago today, ended the use of poll taxes in federal elections.

whataburger cup on a spigot
my favorite thing about a texas freeze is the very serious advice from the news and government on how to use a whataburger cup to insulate your outdoor spigots.
it is always a whataburger cup.
LOL -- much respect
