the basic reality is that this court has already destroyed the united states as a functional republic and none of the reforms necessary to rebuild it will survive the court as it currently exists any democrat not committed to expanding the court is not serious about fixing this country
Steve Vladeck@stevevladeck.bsky.social · 3mo agoSecond (and last) #SCOTUS ruling is the big one, Louisiana v. Callais. For a 6-3 majority (Rs v. Ds), Justice Alito purports to narrow the ability of states to draw majority-minority districts as a remedy for race-based vote dilution, but, per Kagan's dissent, comes pretty close to gutting the VRA:
Day 6: She is not remotely phased by freezing rain. She is doing a very good sit to let me put her collar on before going outside now. No wiggles and no trying to grab my hand with her teeth. This pup catches on so quickly. Took 5 min and about half a dozen treats to not be afraid of the umbrella
We said goodbye to our doggo today. She was loyal, too smart for her own good, and opinionated in the way all cattle dogs are. I'm really gonna miss her.
As Minnesota's senior senator runs to replace Tim Walz as governor, her votes and positions on Trump, ICE, and labor should be disqualifying to progressive voters.

I like to think about the fact that places keep needing whistles means more people everyday are deciding to get more involved. We are not yet at maximum whistle saturation.
I'm officially looking for a job. If anyone needs a senior/staff backend engineer with experience in node or dotnet who knows docker and k8s and has a fair amount of graphql and architecture experience feel free to message me.
BTW when I say abolish ICE, I mean abolish it entirely and replace it with exactly nothing. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. That's it.
there is no universe in which ICE should exist there is no ICE "lite" there is no ICE with better training that magically upholds human rights people should be able to go where they want our tax dollars should not be spent kidnapping & murdering people this is not complicated or controversial
National media: Please stop describing what’s happening in Minneapolis as “protests.” There has been a modest, sustained protest outside the Whipple federal building, about 10 miles from downtown, but... 1/3

Using a chatbot, a programmer will happily produce code that would have gotten them murdered by the people who have to maintain it later. They'll happily take code just as bad, and not know the most basic things about how to maintain it. They'll feed it right back into the slop machine.
@amyklobuchar.com is not a leader and it's past time for her to go. MN and this country deserve way better. Trans and Intersex people will not be erased. Shame on everyone who votes against their humanity.

Did you know that you can just read all the previously accepted unicode emoji proposals on unicode consortium's website? My favorites so far are the ones with bio section at the end where they are "an emoji enthusiast"
Caught my first walleye today. I can finally say I'm fully Minnesotan now right? (It was just a little'un, so didn't want to keep it out of water long enough to take a pic)
