I don't know Bill Ferguson -- but he is not a lawyer. I do not know a single experienced redistricting or voting rights lawyer who agrees with him. If Ferguson doesn't want to redraw the map, he should just own it. Don't make up dumb legal arguments.

Old enough to remember when Musk said he’d sell Tesla stock and donate $6B if the UN’s World Food Program would share how they’d help end world hunger. They did. And instead he donated to install a US govt that ended USAID and exacerbated the problem.

Before she died, my great-grandmother told me what her mother told her as swastika uniforms took her to the gas chambers:
"Remember you're a Jew; I'll return soon." She never saw her again.
A new Coast Guard policy says that same swastika isn't hate but "potentially divisive."
Never again is now.

The only craft docked at Tiangong space station has been damaged and “does not meet the release conditions for a safe manned return.”
