    Gerrymandering again

    This time, in NC. The new, for some reason, approved, plan has been released. https://www.commoncause.org/north-carolina/democracy-wire/dra2024/ It's basically going to all but shut the Dems out of the state representation. From the link above, it gives one example of a district broken down...

    Video editing

    Anyone here make videos? I don't need anything super fancy. I liked the old MS Movie maker that came with Windows 10. Unfortunately, it's not included with Windows anymore, of course they want me to buy it separately. Unfortunately, there's no way to try it out first, and with MS, when they...

    They are saying out loud, at the Supreme Court even, the part they've known but only hinted at before. https://www.motherjones.com/mojo-wire/2021/03/gop-lawyer-says-the-quiet-part-out-loud-in-scotus-voting-rights-case/

    Why aren't we flying the 737 MAX?

    Robocalls to discourage voting.

    https://twitter.com/srl/status/1299019167933358080 "Group backed by Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman is robocalling voters saying information from vote by mail will be used to track down old warrants, outstanding debts and mandatory vaccines. All of this is a lie, racist, and frankly disgusting."
