It doesn’t mean it is though either. I was hoping someone who knows more about this stuff could check.

As I said in another comment, even small changes could have a huge impact. I would like to know how the racism was changed or stayed the same.
Did anyone check it for racism after it was done? He said he took the existing republican map and made as little changes as possible, but went* off population. It could have turned out okay? If you grab someone from “cross the tracks,” he would grab from that. I don’t know if it worked out that way, but I’d like to know myself.
He had to choose what to start with and what numbers to use. He’s bad ass.
Kind of burying the lede, but really glad you posted this:
The widespread availability of political data tools has created an online community – Election Twitter – where political, data and mapmaking junkies will create and share maps and forecasts. DiDonato said he “definitely” considered himself a member.
“You have a whole bunch of these kids who are snippy and savvy and know about the Voting Rights Act, Section 2 of the VRA,” said Chaz Nuttycombe, 26, who developed an impressive record forecasting state legislative races while a student at Virginia Tech and has since founded State Navigate, a non-profit focused on state legislatures. “I’ve seen maps put together by special masters that I disagree with, and I’ve seen kids on Election Twitter put forward better maps for equivalent states and districts than those special masters.”
He used a free online software, Dave’s Redistricting App, to draw the lines. He had begun playing around with it about a year ago, amid a budding fascination with redistricting. As he drew the maps late into the night fueled by soda but no caffeine, he turned off racial and partisan data, seeking to ensure that the new districts he drew were equal in population and made as few changes as possible to the one Republicans had adopted.
As the agents moved to exit their vehicles, protesters blocked them, forming a barricade at the mouth of the garage with their bodies and piling mounds of garbage bags beside them. The standoff continued for the better part of an hour as more and more protesters arrived.
By the early afternoon, nearly 200 people had gathered outside the garage, chanting and yelling at the agents, who peered out from inside the garage.
Police officers soon arrived on the scene, arresting a handful of protesters and placing metal barricades between the agents and the group outside. But the presence of local law enforcement did little to ease tensions.
791·3 days ago“Russia has so many vast resources, vast expanses of land,” Witkoff, who last week was busted coaching Russians on how to best suck up to the president, told The Wall Street Journal.
“If we do all that, and everybody’s prospering and they’re all a part of it, and there’s upside for everybody, that’s going to naturally be a bulwark against future conflicts there. Because everybody’s thriving,” Witkoff said.
For Witkoff, Kushner, and the Russians, the goal is reportedly to revitalize Russia’s $2 trillion economy through joint Russia-U.S. ventures. At the center of the talks is $300 billion in frozen Russian central bank assets that Russia wants to give to U.S. businesses for investment projects and U.S.-led reconstruction of Ukraine.
Thanks for understanding.
It could be. I explained it and apologized if that’s how they meant it. I might be reacting like this is reddit and too strongly.
I might have made a mistake. It might be reddit residue.
It looks like it could be taken 2 different ways. I apologize if you were empathizing with her.
The reason I went so strongly is because of the amount of people who are so shitty to Native Americans. In a suburb of Seattle, the cops were doing a wellness check and then shot and killed a pregnant woman in front of her kid. They were covering each others asses left and right. Who tf knows what really happened.
In Vancouver BC, there are many, many missing First People. Canada isn’t immune either. I had no idea how bad it is until we moved here.

True. But what this person and her family went through should not be normalized or belittled. You seem like a good guy, so I bet you understand why I had to type that out.
You had 4 masked cops come out of an unmarked car and call you a liar?
when four men wearing masks and vests with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement label stepped out of two black SUVs with no front plates and pressed her for her ID.
Then try to seize your phone?
When she pointed to an enrollment office phone number printed on the back of the card and asked them to call to verify, the agents refused. Miles then attempted to call herself, at which point the agents reportedly tried to seize her phone. Shortly after, a fifth agent called from one of the SUVs, and the group drove away.
Then ICE rep calls you a liar again?
“On November 3, ICE was conducting targeted immigration enforcement traffic stops and encountered Elaine Miles while investigating a vehicle registered to an illegal alien. She was never arrested. Any claim that ICE questioned her tribal ID are FALSE. ICE agents are trained to recognize tribal IDs and accept them as proof of status," Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Newsweek.
It still makes him sound like a victim of circumstances though. Headlines are the worst these days.
“Despite trump’s best efforts,” what kind of headline bullshit is that. He sucks at money because he’s a conman and grifter. He is doing great by stealing so fucking much tax payer money, that he doesn’t understand why his poll numbers are so low and everyone else isn’t happy he’s getting richer.
The worst part of this is that she has enough clout to be heard. How many people is this happening to that we don’t hear about? America is being ran by nazis.
Such bullshit.
Miles said the men, whom she worried could have been bounty hunters, did not identify themselves when she asked for their names and badge numbers while they detained her at a bus stop by the shopping center.
When the men did not believe Miles’ tribal ID, she pointed to a phone number for the Umatilla Tribal enrollment office on the back of the card.
“Call it,” she said.
When they didn’t, she took out her phone to call the office herself, but the agents tried unsuccessfully to take her phone, she said. That’s when a fifth agent in the SUV whistled over, and the agents went back to their vehicles and left.
He kind of looks the same as he has for a decade now. Maybe that’s what I’m seeing, he’s always look this old.
He’s 73. He has a good person doing his plastic surgeon work. He has the same distracting headlines as trump though.
The Russian political magazine Sobesednik (Russian: Собеседник) alleged in 2018 that Putin had a sensory room installed in his private residence in the Novgorod Oblast.[544] The White House, as well as Western generals, politicians, and political analysts, have questioned Putin’s mental health after two years of isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic.[545][546][547]
You had me and then you lost me.
