Today at the airport, I witnessed a moment I'll never forget. A soldier was asleep on the floor while her loyal dog sat on her, guarding her whitout moving. It was such a powerful scene, it truly brought tears to my eyes. 💕
🚨Today, we filed an Emergency Application with the U.S. Supreme Court challenging California’s new congressional map enacted through Proposition 50.
This filing asks the Court to temporarily block California from using the Proposition 50 map in the 2026 elections while the case is on appeal. If the Court grants relief, California would instead use the prior Citizens Redistricting Commission map for the 2026 Elections.
Why does this matter?
The Constitution is clear: states may not sort voters into districts based on race. Yet the record in this case contains unusually direct evidence that race was used in drawing multiple districts. The mapmaker who drew the map publicly stated that districts were designed to “bolster” Latino voting strength and to hit specific racial targets. Legislators echoed those goals, and internal materials presented race as a factor in drawing lines.
Despite that evidence, a divided three-judge court denied an injunction using a novel theory: that courts should focus on the intent of millions of voters who approved the map at the ballot box, rather than the intent of the mapmakers and legislators who actually drew and enacted it. Our Emergency Application explains why that approach cannot be squared with decades of Supreme Court precedent. Constitutional violations do not become lawful simply because they are put to a popular vote.
We also explain why California cannot satisfy strict scrutiny even if race was used. The State made no showing that these race-based districts were required by the Voting Rights Act. In fact, the evidence shows that minority-preferred candidates routinely win in California and that no racial bloc voting exists that would justify sorting voters by race.
Timing is critical. Candidate filing for the 2026 elections begins on February 9th. Once candidates and voters are forced to operate under unconstitutional districts, the harm cannot be undone. That is why we are seeking narrow, temporary relief now, to preserve the status quo while the appeal proceeds.
We’ll continue to keep the public informed as this case moves forward.
This absolute legend of a dachshund. Waits all day for one thing: that school bus bringing his favorite tiny hooman home. Then it’s maximum zoomies, pure joy, and the best reunion ever. Heart officially melted. Pls leave a heart ❤
@4tis@GACfan64 Recessive and mutated genes can lead to adaptations in organisms over time by introducing genetic variations that may provide advantages in survival and reproduction. These adaptations can become more common in a population through natural selection if they benefit the species.
@4tis@GACfan64 There is no "change of kind Darwinian Evolution" in "Natural Selection" ...Natural Selection is more like survival of the fittest, without adaptations some species go extinct, they do not change species as "evolution" insists.
Meet Lucy Martinez — an elementary school teacher from Chicago who thought it was funny to mock Charlie Kirk’s death.
This woman teaches children.
Lucy is now the perfect face of the “No Kings” movement — a movement that preaches “love” but celebrates death.
Evil always exposes itself.
Bad Bunny told Americans they had 4 months to learn Spanish if we wanted to understand the Super Bowl halftime show.
No thanks. We'll just have our own. Enjoy your low-rated halftime show.
…there is no linear blueprint for grief. One day you’re collapsed on the floor crying out the name Jesus in between labored breaths. The next you’re playing with your children in the living room, surrounded by family photos, and feeling a rush of something you can only attempt to define as divinely planted and bittersweet joy as a smile breaks through on your face.
They say time heals. But love doesn’t ask to be healed. Love asks to be remembered. It’s humbling to realize that this magnitude of suffering didn’t steal my love for my husband. It amplified it. It crystallized it.
I carry my Charlie in every breath, in every ache, and in every quiet act of day to day living as I attempt to relearn what that rhythm will be.
And what I’ve realized through these past 30 days is the greater the suffering, the purer the love. And I have never loved him more than I do now.
