on the balance i think partisan gerrymandering is bad but the only way it ends is if democrats weaponize it against republicans everywhere they can. wiping out republican lawmakers in blue states might bring the GOP to the table to end the practice.

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

Three rules in FBI firearm training:
1. Always point your weapon downrange
2. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot
3. Donโt put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot
Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you donโt like

Today @cato.org published our report providing the first look at the fiscal effects of the wave of legal & illegal immigration over the last 3 decades. It shows immigrants created surpluses every year, by a combined $14.5 trillion, even as deficits grew www.cato.org/white-paper/...

Republicans love adding seats to state Supreme Courts! They've done it three times in recent years. This latest court-packing plan will shift Utah's high court far to the right and possibly flip rulings on abortion and gerrymandering.
Democrats should take note that Rs have deemed this acceptable!

When one mother was taken by ICE, another stepped in to donate breastmilk
Moms in Minneapolis are donating diapers, food and time to help families who have been ripped apart by ICE.
A newborn in Minneapolis hadnโt eaten for a day and a half
Her mother risked going into work when ICE took her away. At home waiting for her were her 16yo daughter and the 3mo baby
The teen tried to feed the baby, who was exclusively breastfed, formula to no avail 19thnews.org/2026/02/minn...

Important clip here. Non-political people are out on the streets of Minneapolis to defend their neighbors peacefully. Authoritarians and anarchists are lighting firesโachieving nothing and in fact setting back nonviolent efforts. And people like Will are out filming them asking them to be peaceful.

Accountability for ICE and CBP
However bad you think the corruption and misconduct at ICE and CBP is โ the reality is far far worse.
The issue here isn't new recruits. These are longstanding agents shooting civilians on the street. Here's @vermontgmg.bsky.social on abuses at ICE and especially CBP: the US sees more crimes PER CAPITA - that is, per US resident - from these immigration officers than from all illegal immigrants. 5/

Trumpโs main demand with tariffs: say words that give Trump positive headlines.
To the extent itโs an actual strategy, itโs like getting vague announcements to lease some units in a new building then telling other investors itโs going fast.
Except international relations isnโt scammy real estate.
