@socialmediamh10 Social media is a lot like sugar: it's fun to have a little, and fun to have a lot.
But if you have a little, you'll still feel fine later on.
If you have a lot, things don't always turn out so well. Hence why I am no longer allowed in Kazakhstan. #sugar
📢 One Virginia's constitutional amendment would be the most comprehensive #redistricting reform ever to pass through a state legislature.
It presents the last chance for meaningful redistricting reform in #Virginia before 2021.
R/T in support! #FairMaps
Eight districts have served downtown Columbia, SC between 1943 and 2019.
Let's look at the history leading up to South Carolina's 6th Congressional District! #Redistricting#FairMaps
The census is like a reservation at a restaurant. If you want to eat, you had better let them know you're coming. Except instead of a restaurant, it's America.
But what's on the menu tonight? The rich.

That time Mickey Mouse and @Disney made an appearance to promote the Census!

Now more than ever we need to protect the right of every American to cast their vote and choose their leaders.
We’re proud to have @OregonGovBrown and @StaceyAbrams leading this effort. #EveryStateEveryVote
To all of the people in VA who have been tirelessly fighting for redistricting reform with @1VA2021 let's get this across the finish line! You're not alone, I fully support this critical reform to end gerrymandering. In 2021 the district lines are being drawn no matter what..
To the reformers there with @1VA2021 I'm sending you the very best wishes from MI!
Let me know how we can help and know that we Michiganders will be with you for the upcoming session in Richmond. It's time to get this done & pass this amendment and the enabling legislation.
“The most partisan candidates win the primary, & they are virtual guaranteed to win the general [election]” – Michael Douglas.
In fact, for 86% of House races, it's virtually pre-determined which party will win.
Let's fix this problem! #DemocracyReform
Gerrymandering is like an all-you-can-eat buffet, except instead of voters being able to choose their politicians, the politicians can choose their voters.
The comparison may not be perfect, but neither is buffet food.

Half a dozen people have applied for the "nonpartisan state demographer" position to draw #Missouri's state legislative districts in 2021
The position was created by a ballot initiative to counterbalance partisan interests in the next #redistricting cycle
