Terrible opinion column in the New York Times on gerrymandering

This is bullshit. I oppose gerrymandering but California has to do it to balance out what Texas has already done. Otherwise, you’re letting Republicans get away with trying to steal elections. Thanks to the Supreme Court’s terrible Citizens United decision, billionaires can spend millions to help the Republicans.

It's not only Munger that's the problem here.Why does the platform YouTube spam me with these ads? They should choose to not share this bs

Bluesky posts on gerrymandering

Elliott looks at the likely mid-decade gerrymanders (which will probably add up to a GOP edge of several seats) to assess how much they might impact the battle for control of the House.Democrats can still win, and it wouldn't take an extraordinary wave.

Rucho still is one of the stupidest Supreme Court decisions of my lifetime, and it is impossible to watch Texas and California’s ruthless redistricting arms race without remembering John Roberts being like, “Well, how could we, humble jurists, ever KNOW know if gerrymanders go Too Far To Be Legal??”

I’ve been very sad these past few weeks that the FiveThirtyEight redistricting tracker is gone, but this looks like it will be a worthy successor:

Mississippi ordered to redraw bigoted election map

US District Judge Sharion Aycock has ordered Mississippi to redraw its Supreme Court electoral map, after finding the map which was enacted in 1987, violates the Voting Rights Act by diluting Black voters and cannot be used in future elections. apnews.com/article/miss…

The redistricting crisis is 100% the fault of Republicans

Do people get this? I am not sure.

This is not a redistricting war. It’s 100% the fault of Republicans. They want to gerrymander Texas to increase their chance of keeping their slim house majority. They know their policies are unpopular so they can’t count on winning fairly. 1/2

Democrats have no choice except fighting back by gerrymandering blue states. 2/2

Former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is ready to campaign against a partisan gerrymandering plan that current officeholder Gavin Newsom is hoping to place on the November ballot, according to a spokesperson.

— barbisblue (@barbisblue.bsky.social) 2025-08-05T02:06:29.355Z

He should fight governor Abbott of Texas. Newsom’s gerrymamdering plan is a response to the Texas plan demanded by Trump.

Republicans want to gerrymander Texas again to undermine fair elections

They can’t even wait until 2030 when most states revise their districts.

Dems hold minorities in both Texas chambers. But, as promised, they're already doing what they can to delay and obstruct Republican efforts to steal the next election.www.texastribune.org/2025/07/21/t…

How Texas could help ensure a GOP House majority in 2026

NEW: National Democrats are exploring options to stop Texas Republicans' plan for a rare mid-decade redistricting push, after the DOJ pressured the state to redraw its maps to aid the party in retaining its slim House majority.From: @jenrice.bsky.social

NEW: The seeming contradiction raises new questions about the decision by the state’s GOP leaders to conduct a rare mid-decade redistricting — which came after pressure from the Trump White House, as it looks to boost the GOP in next year’s midterms. http://www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/…

Republicans have a House majority because of their own gerrymandering

This post just shows the GOP side. See my reply.

Johnson: The House would have a larger majority but redistricting and gerrymandering in the blue states made that almost impossible but we do have a majority and we know how govern with that small majority. We’ve been doing it for a year

Supreme Court Republicans support racial gerrymandering

Disgusting

They might as well be employees of the Republican party.

Wisconsin finally has fair election maps

Good riddance to the extreme Republican gerrymandering.
