#law, #climate, #science, #geopolitics, #politics, #democracy, cool stuff &… #BabySquirrel Recovering lawyer. Spending less time on world news since US voters re-elected a rapist/convicted felon, who tried to end democracy, but who Americans decided to give a mulligan, cuz democracy shlemocracy right? Occasionally I’ll come across something that I feel compelled to share, but… …these days… I've stopped my dreaming …these days I sit on corner stones & count the time in quarter tones to ten

“It’s an insult to the intelligence of the people in this state.”
@jeffyarbro.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy shreds the lie🤥from Sen. Stevens & TN Republicans race wasn’t used to make the map, puts it in (racist) historical context, and says they couldn’t racially gerrymander it any better. #Memphis #JimCrow

“How are you proposing a map and you don’t know anything about it?” 🤔🤷🏼
WATCH — Senator John Stevens pathetically ducks all Sen. london lamar very valid questions as he pretends not to know Memphis is a majority-Black city + claims this isn’t about race. #Memphis #JimCrow @GovBillLee

Q: If stripping Memphis of representation is really not about racism, why didn’t a single TN Republican care Black Tennesseans were hurting yesterday? And why were many of them laughing at their pain? #JimCrow @MarshaBlackburn @govbilllee
