Trump’s Texas gerrymander Is supercharging a new war on democracy Texas Republicans just unveiled a shocking plan to give their party five new House seats.

Trump’s Texas gerrymander would give Republicans nearly 80% of seats in state where he got 56% of vote

This is direct result of John Roberts & conservative SCOTUS majority gutting Voting Rights Act & refusing to stop blatant partisan gerrymandering www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I see the ratio has done its job here. No notes.

Oh hell. I was wondering what shocking death people were referring to and now I know. Dammit. 😭

Just leaving this here.

Our policy already sucks, and is super expensive. Guess we're going back to 2007.

Heartbreaking. Thank you for sharing that.

RIP, Malcolm Jamal Warner. 💔https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/malcolm-jamal-warner-dead-drowning-cosby-show-1236466032/

I commissioned a painting based on this pic, and it makes me happy every day.

Luckily, in our case, it didn't affect any actual humans and it was only dicey because of the turnaround time. But I can see how this happened all too easily.

After reading this article, I am even clearer on what I suspected: they sought young and inexperienced developers because they are hungry, and eager to take a dicey federal government contract. We did when we were in our 20s. You're desperate for work that legitimizes your skills.

In New Mexico, we safeguard a person's access to the care they need. Today's Supreme Court decision does not impact New Mexico's safeguards.

Our organizations remain united and undeterred in the fight to protect and expand access to life-saving, affirming healthcare for trans and nonbinary people.

It’s objectively terrible that if we want representation, we have to pay for it. I live in NM, and I’ve contributed to your campaigns. If you want support from our gay/trans family who's being brutalized by the current admin and lives 2Km away, you need to tell me how the Dems will fight for us.

Most Adults Overestimate How Much the U.S. Spends on Foreign Aid Just your best guess, what percentage of the federal budget is spent on foreign aid? Bar chart showing the perceived amount of money the U.S. spends on foreign aid and highlighting the actual amount spent. 0-1% 11% 2-5% 19% 6-10% 13% 11-20% 14% 21-30% 11% 31-40% 7% 41-50% 8% 51% or more 15% Actual amount spent on foreign aid is about 1%. Average perceived amount spent on foreign aid was 26%. Note: See topline for full question wording. Source: KFF Health Tracking Poll (Feb. 18-25, 2025)

Americans' beliefs about what their government spends money on are hopelessly wrong, so it's no surprise they think there's a lot of waste, too

I realize that some of us, myself included, may not be able to completely boycott Amazon next week. But plan ahead, maybe shift some of our regular purchases to local grocery stores, local pharmacies or use a library card to check out or stream video content 1/n

I'm so sorry. My hair stood on end. WTF is wrong with people?

In today's episode of doomerism isn't a strategy, here's a list of things you can do today to make the world around you suck a little bit less:

Pick ONE thing and do it.

yiiiiikes

before trans participation in sports was banned in utah in 2022:

• 4/75,000 school athletes were trans

• 1/75,000 was a trans girl

not that it’s ever been about sports or numbers and not that the number matters even a little but tuberville’s bullshit is *so* outrageously untrue.

Wild Ones wouldn't exist if gwyn wasn't such a mensch who let me pitch her a thing, and didn't laugh at me every time I said, "POV Switch!" <3

Trump Lost. Vote Suppression Won. Here are the numbers...

gwyn has made several herself that I'd be hard-pressed to choose between.

I've heard a number of people say, "I live in a safe blue district/state--there's no point in calling my reps since they're already on the right side." Yes, there is: You can call and insist that they be among the loudest voices on the issues you care about, since they can afford to be.

So good.

Assuming we make it through the next couple of decades, this will be an incredible image for future historians/students of the Trump era

For folks who say, "Why should I even bother calling my Democratic Senator? They'll vote the right way..."

I need you to understand that when Dem electeds try to justify why they're cowering in terror from Trump right now, the VERY FIRST THING THEY CITE is:

"no one's calling my office"
