Californians approved redrawing 2026 congressional maps to counter Texas gerrymandering

In California the people decided the districts, they decide their representatives

In Texas, Missouri and North Carolina the legislatures gerrymandered who gets represented and who doesn't

So Gov HotWheels called a 2nd special session of the #TxLege and a priority is a trans bathroom ban bill. (2nd Session TX SB-8) It intends to enforce it w/ a $5K fine per incident on the place letting a woman pee. But there's also the ability for a Texan to sue a place letting women (who don't meet that individual's standard of femininity) pee. So that incentivizes the "You Can Always Tell a Trans" crowd to start gender policing to get money.

Let me tell y'all something.
In Texas we're allowed to conceal carry without a permit AND we have a Stand Your Ground Law. So if some hillbilly here thinks he or she is gonna inspect my junk before I go pee, you'd better have made peace w/ your maker cuz one of us...

... now I'm gonna hold your hand and tell you this with all the love in my heart.

One of us ain't gonna see the sun shine the next day.
