Funny how the GOP supports the electoral college because it supposedly balances rural & urban influence.
But it’ll gladly dismantle geographically-logical districts, forcing reps to blend different community needs unnecessarily.
And all to appease a wannabe autocrat.

A reminder to check @opensecrets.org & see who your representatives are truly fighting for.
My Congresswoman Erin Houchin, for instance, received donations from 554 different PACs last cycle.
58% of her funds stem from corporate interests, NOT her constituents!

The home-buying crisis starts & ends here:
A lopsided transfer of wealth & power.
You want actionable change to ensure less than 1/4 of home purchases are made by investors?
Legislate limitations on landlords and Airbnb properties & start de-commoditizing housing.

Kids take cues from adults
How to speak. How to act. Etc.
Their brains are little sponges
Some of those little kids will be in queer relationships one day
And cues like a queer-inclusive kiss cams will validate their identities & make them feel comfortable in their own skin

AI isn’t the 1st technological advancement to threaten certain lines of work.
Horse saddle crafters, meet cars.
Candlemakers, meet light bulbs.
But this intention to replace is cannibalistic.
What good is an economy devoid of people with purchasing power?

In Indiana, state ID is required for voter registration.
To obtain that, one must prove their lawful status & SSN.
Rep. Houchin is chasing a phantom.
This is just the anti-immigrant red meat du jour she’s tossing her GOP base.

This is why chasing mystical centrist GOPers is fruitless.
Karen Tallian said Dems have shifted too far left.
Knucklehead here calls her a socialist anyway.
Progressive policies get abandoned.
Dems follow right.
Voter enthusiasm dips.
GOP wins vs. uninspired opposition.

Is Nancy Mace reprehensible? Yes.
Should she & her party be held accountable for policies that hurt everyday Americans? Always.
But I’m over decorum pearl clutching.
The GOP is built on bombastic distractions.
Giving in to every piece of rage bait is counterproductive.

Indiana Republicans want the government to have more control over your ability to leave a doomed marriage.
In environments with emotional & physical turmoil, sometimes divorce is in the best interest for families & children.
This is an archaic overreach into a deeply personal matter.
