      🌊 Tonight was such a sweep. It feels like a stark difference from where the US was heading exactly a year ago.

      Unlike in Texas, Californians were asked if this was something we wanted to do or not. The GOP doesn’t know or care about consent.

      From the article:

      „Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom has scored a victory against Donald Trump, with California voters approving a ballot measure allowing his state to change congressional maps ahead of next year’s midterm elections.

      In a move that could give the Democrats an extra five House seats, California passed what’s known as Proposition 50, allowing it to alter its congressional districts from 2026 to 2030.

      The measure was heavily pushed by Newsom in response to Texas’ redistricting changes made this year.“

      That’s it for now. The headline is more or less the article.

      God I hate the Daily Beast. It’s not a “troll of Trump.” This country’s politics are not a *le epic meme battle* for our amusement.

      I don’t care much for Newsom, but I gotta hand it to him for this one.

      And no democratic states should go back to fair districts until all 50 states agree. Democrats have been screwing themselves by trying to take the high road

      I’m 100% OK with that. Most states in the country have been gerrymandered by republicans.

      Question from an Aussie – can other Blue states do this too? Suppose Red states can also do it. So what’s stopping it happening in other states other ?

      My wife, whom I talked into leaving her home state of Nebraska for 50 years and coming to California, and who still watches the Huskers play every fall, said this evening she was falling in love with this state, that it’s nice to live in a state that is not just going to take it lying down.

      Amen, my love. Amen.

      The Beastie Boys fought and possibly died for California’s right to gerrymander

      Infighting has always been a persistent issue during primaries, and it has consistently proven to be detrimental. I understand your perspective. We’ve all witnessed how that played out with Bernie Sanders.

      Ugh, this isn’t a ‚troll‘ it’s literally a last ditch attempt to protect our 2-party system from becoming a 1-party kleptocracy.

      What’s that title? It’s not a „troll of Trump“. It’s an action that was made necessary by gerrymandering from red states that don’t want people to be fairly represented. This is not a fight between 14 year olds on social media ffs.

      He didn’t „win the right to gerrymander“, the people of California voted and supported it 64% to 36%. That’s a mandate ***of the people***.

      The state of California voted to elect more dems and cement their representation. Wording it as Newsom sticking it to Trump is weird framing. This is power back to the people.

      I’m sort of tired of Daily Beast headlines. This isn’t a „troll,“ this is an effort to save the nation.

      It’s not a troll on Trump or anyone and I hate thst the media is stirring shit making it sound like a game show. Newsom rebalanced an effort to break precedence and attempt gain control of part of the government. He’s offsetting authoritarianism. This isn’t punked.

      So much great news from yesterday. If Trump doesn’t make voting illegal by midterms then we better flip congress and impeach and convict this entire administration. Send them to fucking gitmo or supermax.
