@thetnholler.bsky.social The people in Shreveport, DeRitter and the rest of the #gerrymandered #LA4 Congressional district of #Louisiana who repeatedly voted FOR #MAGA #MikeJohnson must *also* be shamed.

Kudos to the #BelmontUniversity students who laughed at the ridiculous lies told by the #BananaRepublican Congressman for their #gerrymandered district in #Nashville (which will be among the dozens flipped by the #BlueTsunami.) https://www.huffpost.com/entry/andy-ogles-laughed-belmont-university-tennessee_n_69f0c610e4b02e917fa95fc1
It reminds me of the Turkish proverb: “When a clown moves into a palace, he doesn't become a sultan. The palace becomes a circus.”

@simon_brooke There are really only 3 purposes for micro-constituencies:
1/ reduce travel in sparsely-populated areas
2/ #gerrymander
3/ system malfunctionIreland has no type 1. Type 2 (#gerrymandered) have been common. But there are a lot of micros created by the intersection of the 5-seat upper limits, and don't-cross county boundaries princile. E.g. in 1997, 5-seat Kildare should have become a 6-seater, but instead was split into two 3-seaters

@europesays A 3-month #GOP #CivilWar between the #MAGA cult and ‘Old School’ #Republicans during the #Senate run-off between #KenPaxton and #JohnCornyn , #UltraMAGA unknown #SteveToth defending what had been a ‘safe seat’ in the House of Representatives, and narrow margins in #gerrymandered Congressman Districts, are going to combine into one giant #BlueWave during the 2026election and #TurnTexasBlue.

#Texas #Republicans were sick & tired of #Democrat #AlGreen ("Black People Aren't Apes") winning his district ELEVEN TIMES, so they #Gerrymandered him into another district.
His Primary opponent is presently edging him out (still too close to call), but if the #GOP thinks his opponent #ChristianMenefee will be less trouble for their Fuhrer, they might be sorry to have replaced Green with a newer/younger model. 😉

Two men recognized and exploited the anti-democratic loopholes within America’s rickety democracy
-- in order to deliver Republicans victories that they could never win at the ballot box.Now their willfully minoritarian creations threaten the very essence of a representative democracy:
if Donald #Trump, rightwing courts, #gerrymandered state legislatures and an extreme Republican #caucus in the US House of Representatives create constitutional #chaos over the certification of this presidential election, 👉two men cleared the path.
The single-minded determination of #Leonard #Leo built a conservative supermajority on the US #supreme #court and ♦️stacked lower and state courts with Republican #ideologues that have pushed the nation to the right via the least accountable branch of government.
#Chris #Jankowski masterminded the partisan #gerrymanders that ♦️tilted state legislatures and congressional delegations across the south and the purple midwest toward extreme Republicans,
♦️ended Barack Obama’s second term before it started, and ♦️rendered elections in Wisconsinand North Carolina all but meaningless over the last decade and a half.Leo and Jankowski understood, separately, that the courts and state legislatures were undervalued and often undefended targets for a deliberate strategy aimed at capturing important levers of power that sometimes float under the radar.
They could be Moneyball-ed, to borrow the term Michael Lewis used in his book about how the Oakland A’s made an end-run around large-market teams by understanding value that their opponents overlooked.
What Leo and Jankowski built separately would soon reinforce the other’s creation (with, of course, crucial assists from chief justice #John #Roberts), tightening the knots around meaningful elections, pushing policy to the extreme right and 💥making it nearly impossible for voters to do anything about it

Every time I see a story like this (6600 military wives #deported), my mind wants to predict how this will affect the mid-term & general elections, but we've been #Gerrymandered so bad, even when it should be a Dem landslide, every race is a tossup. 😒 -
