Democracy is when all 50 states have independent redistricting committees, leveling the playing field on the road to a truly representative House. Democracy is NOT right-leaning states abusing their power to influence the makeup of congress, and expecting left-leaning states not to do anything.

My aquarium is so sad right now, but I think I’m on the right track. Is there a San Francisco aquarium nerd community on here yet? Curious if locals just condition their tap water for planted tanks. Trying to break free of acid buffer. 🐠 🤓
