Gavin Newsom is not going far enough. Instead of redistricting California for 5 more Dem seats, he should go for ten seats and really hurt the Republicans.

There are places we have been, you and I
Leading each of us to this time and place
There are stories we can tell
Of people we have met
And things we have done
Before we each arrived here.
“Ah, the stories I want to have with you.”

he used to look around at people and say,
“to whom shall I preach?”
Because he saw the Beloved in all eyes.
