Redistricting ahead of the 2026 midterms is at the center of the political universe this week, and Vice President JD Vance’s visit to Indiana on Thursday is a big signal the White House isn’t backing off the strategy anytime soon. Vance’s visit to a state to ask lawmakers to redistrict is a significant escalation from the White House, which was pressuring Texas Republicans behind closed doors to redraw the state’s congressional map.

    America is fucked forever without revolutionary action, but no one there is going to bother.

      It’s so easy to tell people to risk their lives from afar. Protest works better.

      We’re just so fucking tired, we thought we got rid of him.

        americans don’t protest effectively and condemn others when they do try to protest effectively.

            the people in LA have got it figured out and americans moderates condemn them because of the images of burned automated taxis and foreign flags.

            very soon: all american cities are going to be a lot of charring of their own and american moderates will also condemn them while choosing instead to go to the ineffectual no kings marches.

              The moderates who condemned LA are paid shills on corporate media, and the ones otherwise who aren’t are the minority.

              There have been other protests like that all over the country, the media is just complicit and hiding it.

              Also the typical garbage of worthless keyboard warriors who do absolutely nothing of value demanding others lay down their lives. Just fucking go somewhere else, you’re not helping in any meaningful way and are just being insufferable cunts while also being wrong.

              So, the typical.ml user ofc.

              People downvoting you are libtards who helped this fascism along. There absolutely will be a repeat of LA all across the country. People have no idea what’s coming.

                it boggles my mind at how they could be so unaware when i’m out of the loop on everything else.

      As far as I know there’s no legitimate group trying to organize, and if there were they’d get shut down by the FBI well before they could do anything truly revolutionary. All the ‘militia’ groups are right-wing white nationalist fuckwads and their man is in power currently, so…

      there’s the targeted message of the month!

      “Start a Civil War. Commit violence. Otherwise you’re worthless.”

      The result would be very valuable to America’s geopolitical opponents.
