Holy shit. Here's making sense here. I don't know what to think anymore. 😁
Rand Paul on mid-decade redistricting: "I think it's gonna lead to more civic tension & possibly more violence in our country. Think about it: if 35% of Texas is solidly Democrat & they have 0 representation, how does that make Democrats feel? I think it makes them feel they're not represented"

Things I see on social media that make me irrationally angry....

1. People holding a clip on mic in their hand. It has a clip on it FOR A REASON!!! The pick up pattern and frequency sensitivity are specially designed based on where the mic sits when it is clipped somewhere around your chest area.

i mean sure. this is cool and all, but i question if, ultimately, it will go anywhere. this state has been such a shithole for so long that nothing (i.e. completely ignoring a FEDERAL court ruling) could surprise me anymore.
Whoa: A federal court just barred Texas from using its new congressional map, drawn by the GOP to target Dems.

"Substantial evidence shows that Texas racially gerrymandered the 2025 Map."

Court says the old map must be used in 2026. Appeals are certain. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
