It depends on the outcome of the strike. If Fain leads the union to major gains for members and then says Trump is bad for the union that holds a lot of weight and could be enough to sway the couple thousand voters in swing states away from Trump. Remember 2020 was decided by around 40k votes in 5 states.

Ohio doesn't have the racial demographic bunching that Alabama does, which from my understanding is who they were able to show easily that the appropriate maps could be drawn and even presented multiple appropriate maps in the Alabama lawsuit. Also Ohio did not sue because of racial gerrymandering, they sued because the maps violated the state constitution. Now that there is a new state SC and Dems did better in 2022 than expected Ohio dropped the suit because they won't win.

Ohio could do it because the "independent" redistricting commission is run by the governor's son and is only bipartisan in that they were forced to allow democrats on by border initiative that changed the state constitution. Ohios maps didn't have a SCOTUS ruling, just a state Supreme Court ruling and the GOP just had to wait out a year so they could shove a more conservative justice on than the one that was retiring and had sided with the liberal justices.

I'm running my V60 into the ground. Easily the best phone I've ever had and I'm really disappointed I won't be able to get another LG when this one dies.

I really like the whole composition of In Waves. It really feels like it's telling a story and all the songs flow so well into one another. I generally prefer albums that are whole and not just a collections of songs or singles. In Waves is probably one of my favorite albums for it's cohesiveness.

And yeah black album is great but I think MoP is just bangers all the way through. If I want thrash metal I want Metallica and I don't want to slow down haha.

Same with me. The amount of graphs that are misleading at best that are portrayed in the news is infuriating.

Plus spam fried rice is a pretty popular thing, I'm sure hot dogs are similar.

"The FTC depositions so far have targeted "former employees because nearly every employee who has been identified as a point person for privacy or data security either resigned or was terminated before the FTC could talk to them," the government said. "

That is an amazing sentence. I don't know how this company still exists. Also I'm glad we all collectively decided to give Twitter the Prince treatment and it is now just the company formerly known as Twitter.

This is essentially him saying "well it didn't hurt to ask" which is shit. These are police they should have to have a reason to ask in the first place.

Yeah I'm just watching less because I don't want to spend the time doing that. It's irritating either way but at least this way I can justify since I'm not putting in and time.

I like to watch videos of media critiques. Somehow all the ones that I keep getting recommended are anti woke d bags that blame every bad movie choice on the company/producer/director/etc going woke. I've pretty much had to stop watching those types of videos and try to rebalance the algorithm by watching literally anything that seems remotely left leaning. It's been 2 months and it's barely better.
