Partisan gerrymanders may be legal, but only because SCOTUS said so. They are anti-democratic measures used by a party that fears losing power to hold onto control, a mechanism that lets parties choose their voters instead of letting voters choose who will represent them.

Next year, Americans will see the biggest jump in health insurance costs in 15 years.
Meanwhile, the six largest health insurers raked in more than $31 billion in net income last year.
Still not sure if we need Medicare for All?

@evanlang27.bsky.social While I love Kyle Karros to death, I can't stand his home plate decisions lately. Yesterday, he had easy out at home but threw to 1B. Tonight another easy out, but threw 10 feet off line.

Deaf guy tried to show ICE his ID. An agent grabbed it and didn't return it.
So he tried to type a message about his disability but an agent grabbed his phone.
He was left w/ no way to communicate w/ the men seizing him.
He was a DACA recipient (a "dreamer"). He spent nearly a month in detention.
