I'm already starting to see anti #Prop50 propaganda on the California airwaves.
Very adroit in how they frame the commercials: a woman, Asian person, African American trumpeting how proud they are of California's independent commission to draw political boundaries, and how Prop 50 would upend that.

We are living through the Paradox of Tolerance.
We have turned a blind eye to intolerance under the guise of free speech absolutism such that tolerance itself is now in danger.

TL/DR:
"Q: What comes after the “cathartic cataclysm?” Can there be a moment of reckoning that means less political violence for a while?
A: Well, people just get sick of the violence. It’s what happened in all major civil wars. Eventually, they burn themselves out because it’s so awful...

So far, NATO playing it cool. This is probably the most tense night since the end of the Cold War. Poland downed Russian drones. NATO's AWACS is airborne. I assume B-52 crews are inside their planes, waiting on orders (UK/Romania) but still on ground.
