YSK that if US housing and population projections hold, the Electoral College map will change after the 2030 census.

As a leftie who moved to one of those red states, please come help. We can flood these places with enough people to tip them, we just need to stop with fatalistic bullshit about how these states are "beyond all hope." No they're fucking not. Get out of your comfort zone, do your duty to our democracy, and ffs stop self sorting into deep blue states. Staying where it's blue is easy but it doesn't do much good.

Jewish man mistakes two Israeli tourists for Palestinians and opens fire on them in Miami

I live near there and have to drive down the highway and look at billboards about how hard it is to be Jewish and like, I know that antisemitism is a serious problem but then these racist fuckers are around any corner and they reeeeeeeeeally undermine the message those billboards are trying to get across. Can't help but roll my eyes driving by those after reading about this, but maybe it's because I happen to live near a lot of very conservative Israelis who are constantly advocating for genocide while whining about how they're always victimized.

A lot of people still buy into trickle down economics despite consistently not working for the several decades we have tried it and reflexively support tax cuts for the wealthy. A lot of those same people also think that kicking people off of what they consider to be "welfare" will somehow magically result in those people quickly becoming employed, thinking that the reason they aren't employed is because they aren't facing serious enough consequences for unemployment.
