Just so people know, this isn’t a recent thing.

He’s been a democrat for nearly 20 years, and was only a registered republican for 3 years.

He was stirring up shit about same sex marriage in the mid 90’s.

My hot take is that democratic socialism needs a rebrand.

Hell, the GOP rebranded fascism and autocracy as “MAGA.”

They’re too tired for that too. They’re more of a “blow in the hole and jiggle it” people.

We could fix it too, but we don’t wanna.

If you need to top off with 200 - 300 miles of range every night, you commute sucks giant donkey balls.

Like radiation therapy to treat cancer. Exposing yourself to intense X-ray radiation usually isn’t a smart idea, but it’s better than the alternative, and at least it’s targeted and controlled.

They disenfranchised a bunch of Trump voters in a dick shaped one.

The north most part of the state should now be called the Sausalito Scrotum.

It’s earning season, the numbers are in, and at the end of the day, the execs are more afraid of Wall Street than Trump.

Many more price are finally going to start reflecting tariffs in the states. The big companies are no longer holding back.

The blue state ain’t bluer yet. State senate has to ok it, the voters have to approve in November.

Yeah, that county is the most clearly gerrymandered district in the state. Also, it looks like a giant dong.

This specific case can’t be appealed to a federal court. It’s a state law about the state constitution, so the state SC is the end of the line.

To bring this to a federal court they need to show that CA is violating a federal law.

And the CA Supreme Court also just threw out the GOP lawsuit against this.

Looks like this is probably going to be on the ballot in Nov.

Hopefully some other blue states can also grab a seat here and there. This will nullify Texas, but not the other little seats gerrymandering gains around the nation.

The real version is even dumber.

Trump asked for 5 votes from Texas a month ago.

In a month CA lawyers / legislators found a creative way around the 2008 / 2010 redistricting laws, they drafted new maps, they found a way around the legislative waiting periods, and they’re about get legislators to vote yes in their last session before Nov.

Maybe is they really hauled ass they could’ve done this in half a month, but a month is pretty damn fast.

To get the maps on the ballot, Democrats repurposed two existing bills rather than introduce new legislation that would trigger the 30-day window

I’m glad to see they’re fighting dirty. Gloves are off.

This is one of those things you find at a university art gallery at the end of a semester.

That’s a sweaty head shot.

I’d also argue that the bully pulpit doesn’t mean much in this case. Legislators often vote against maps when it doesn’t favor them, and most of the democratic incumbents will be fine after this.

Also, the legislature doesn’t need to take a stand, the can simply say “I wanted to let the people decide.”

It’s a super safe vote for the CA legislators. They have little to lose.
