Ever heard of a dummymander? Think of an overloaded lifeboat. And watch what happens in congressional elections in states that have tried too hard to "find" more districts for one party. A bigger wave than expected can sink the whole plan.
More news today from other states about escalating redistricting war. When PA legislators say "now is not the time for an independent redistricting commission," remind them "You can’t save democracy by destroying democracy." Check discussion here: youtu.be/lAVIo522Tjg?si…
🇺🇸1 of 2 Are you worried about American democracy? So is @ABAesq. The Task Force on American Democracy, led by @judgeluttig & Jeh Charles Johnson, is a sobering exploration of factors fueling division, misinformation, and loss of trust in the rule of law. americanbar.org/groups/public_…
Nicholas Stephanopoulos on who really runs our politics. He stresses the impact of #gerrymandering: “Gerrymandering takes you from way too liberal outcomes if the Democrats gerrymander to way too conservative outcomes if the Republicans gerrymander." hls.harvard.edu/today/money-an…

"You can’t save democracy by destroying democracy." Our responses to the standard talking points that PA legislators use to oppose #redistricting reform: fairdistrictspa.com/updates/respon… #NotRedNotBlueJustFair
Did you know that no other state or country allows legislative leaders such direct control over their own & colleagues' district maps? The more we learn, the more determined we are to change this so all PA can be heard. Watch for more from the Jan 7 Zoom presentation. Coming soon
The distinguished blog of the Chicago Literary Hall of Fame has a fine review of THE BLUE DOOR by @janicemdeal in its 2025 "Books We Loved" roundup. We too love this "melancholy exurban odyssey" by "a writer well worth our attention." chicagoliteraryhof.org/blog/entry/chi… #fiction #Novel
We've been talking for years about the inefficiency - indeed, dysfunction - of the PA legislature. One major cause, not addressed in this article, is #gerrymandering, which cements party control and insulates politicians from voters. wesa.fm/politics-gover…
Don't miss @CKuniholm this evening sharing what's been learned in 10 years of fighting #gerrymandering in PA. Vocabulary, history, policy, strategy . . . PA deserves better than our current broken systems, but we can't win if we don't understand the game. actionnetwork.org/events/redistr…
Not sure the difference between reapportionment, redistricting & gerrymandering? You're not alone. Ever hear of dummymandering? It's been in the news a bit, & likely you'll be hearing more as the national #redistricting wars continue. Get ready for action in the months ahead!
1st 2 recommendations in @ABAesq Task Force Report on American Democracy: --investment in civics education --independent redistricting commissions. We're working on both. The next 6 months will be critical. Learn more Wednesday evening, at 7 PM: actionnetwork.org/events/redistr…
There are things we can't control. But we all can do SOMETHING. Read this @ABAesq report, note the serious concern, then look closely at the 1st 2 recommendations. @FairDistrictsPA is working on both. So join us. Start here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/join…
Wondering what YOU can do in the month ahead? There are plenty of ways to take action. TODAY: register for the January 7 Zoom meeting. Knowledge is power. Use yours. actionnetwork.org/events/redistr…
@politico.com provides deep dive into 2025 #redistricting. The electoral outcome is uncertain, as is the final stance of SCOTUS on voting rights. But the damage to democracy is clear: intimidation, threats, deeper partisan division, less representation. politico.com/news/2025/12/3…
Here's a #NewYearsResolution for 2026: True patriotism that places the common good above partisan advantage. Our state & nation need courageous patriots who demonstrate real statesmanship rather than "frightful despotism." That can start with all of us. lancasteronline.com/.../article_ce…...
