I hate that it has come to this, but my biomom has been partly paralyzed due to gallbladder issues sustained throughout much of this year. She’s recovered several vital functions (speaking, eating solid food, breathing on her own), but her limbs remain incapacitated. Please help if you can.

I’m proud that the VEST team produced the precinct data needed for this lawsuit
BREAKING: After years of litigation led by Campaign Legal Center on behalf of our clients, Utah voters finally will have a fair congressional map. The court rejected lawmakers' latest gerrymandered map and ordered implementation of a fair map in time for the 2026 midterms.

one of the most powerful things we can do to fight this current wave of fascist degradation is to move beyond thinking that being the loudest is winning, and instead start taking notes. how is today's news useful? how important is it compared to previous events? how can we organize for remembrance?

Just now: The plaintiffs who were arguing that Utah GOP's congressional map is illegal won in court.
The judge orders one of the two maps submitted by the plaintiffs ('map 1') be used.
The ruling, if it stands, guarantees that Democrats will pick up a congressional seat in Utah next year.

Can we just rename the Democratic Party to the Social Democratic Party (SDP) and call it a day? That way, we can formally separate from the old Dixiecrats in name as much as we have in ideology. Make that a part of the takeover idea. #uspol
“Rather than taking over the Democratic Party the same way the right took over the Republican Party, we should take the easier route and just start up a new party ourselves!”
