Kevin Kiley's district California CD03 before (on the left) and after Prop 50 redistricting (on the right). The new district include parts of Democratic-leaning Sacramento County and removes a large swath of the Eastern Sierra.

Kiley's a lame duck!!!

'To begin with, 'I'll paint the town red', by Grant E. Hamilton, The Judge January 1885. 'Democracy' is portrayed as the devil dripping red paint with which he plans to 'paint the town'; he is standing on a wall overlooking a view of Washington, D.C.

Dystopian future
Wall Street Mav @WallStreetMav 1h It's 2027. I'm sitting on a NYC free bus. It was 2 hours late because of Free Palestine protests blocking traffic everywhere. Half the people on the bus look like they were recently released from Rikers. As I look out the window in despair, I see women mostly dressed with full burqa clothing. They look tired and defeated. There are no more dogs in NYC. They were banned because the Muslims find them offensive. But there are plenty of goats around now. I cry as I see that the line for the city owned bakery stretches nearly two blocks to receive their weekly bread rations. The last Starbucks in NYC closed 8 months ago.

The Raft of the Medusa (French: Le Radeau de la Méduse [lə ʁado d(ə) la medyz]) – originally titled Scène de Naufrage (Shipwreck Scene) – is an oil painting of 1818–1819 by the French Romantic painter and lithographer Théodore Géricault (1791–1824) makeshift raft is shown as barely seaworthy as it rides the deep waves, while the men are rendered as broken and in utter despair. One old man holds the corpse of his son at his knees; another tears his hair out in frustration and defeat. A number of bodies litter the foreground, waiting to be swept away by the surrounding waves. The men in the middle have just viewed a rescue ship

In Trump 1.0, the first opposition voices of 2017 were Alt-National Parks Badlands, Merriam Webster, and Teen Vogue.

Teen Vogue's political reporting has communicated directly with emerging activists, and will be missed

Trump's video said "“shit on you” and the fecal material was of an exaggerated quantity. It was crass, rather than comedic, infantile rather than inspired."

Kenny Loggins issued cease and desist letter for his song Danger Zone
@RonFilipkowski The WH steals people's property constantly and never asks permission. Another example of Trump acting like a king. @Variety Kenny Loggins slams Donald Trump for using "Danger Zone" in an Al video where Trump drops feces on No Kings protesters. "This is an unauthorized use of my performance. Nobody asked me for my permission, which I would have denied, and I request that my recording on this video is removed immediately. I can't imagine why anybody would want their music used or associated with something created with the sole purpose of dividing us. Too many people are trying to tear us apart, and we need to find new ways to come together. We're all Americans, and we're all patriotic. There is no 'us and them' - that's not who we are, nor is it what we should be. It's all of

Jim Crow always prevented black citizens from voting.

Jim Crow was Confederacy 2.0, and maintained White Supremacy through violence and stranglehold on the mechanisms of power.

MAGA is Confederacy 3.0 and the Roberts Supreme Court is determined to erase decades of equity.

Metropolitan planning organizations are required to produce official maps in the coming months. In the meantime, here’s our best guess at coverage. You should not use this map to make any major decisions.

MAGA GOP has run out of experienced politicians and they are left with this feckless pixie Mike Johnson, who never heard or saw when bad things happen. In his naïveté and incompetence, Mike Johnson can't run the House using the power and procedures of the Speaker.

Board of Supervisors Chair Kathryn Barger was the lone no vote against the proclamation. She said previously she believed the action would lead to legal action by the federal government. "The federal government has sole authority to enforce federal immigration law, and local government cannot impede that authority," Barger said in a statement last week. "I believe the county should focus its efforts on advocating for meaningful federal immigration reform. We need policies that are fair, pragmatic, and create legal pathways for individuals who want to remain in the country, work hard, and contribute to their communities."
