door with trump.

Proud Californian here, born and bred

Did they learn nothing?

The CEO doesn't want to lose their contributions...

Follow the money, again and again and again,

ef them.

They think if we say eebie jeebie and take it back - that this all goes away.

This is not a time to play nice.

The rules don't apply anymore folks.

Gay, minority, women, children, seniors, poor, etc. Etc. Etc.

This is bigger than any one group of people. They will literally start killing us. Anyone who thinks otherwise needs pushed to the side because they havent been paying attention.

From yesterday's NYT: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/20/us/politics/democratic-party-voter-registration-crisis.html

is because of the League of Women Voters opposing a bill passed by Democrats in 2025?

Am I on F**e R******c or something?

We're fighting for democracy here. Screw "fairness".

Malicious and anti-democrat is the next stage. The time for theory and idealism at all costs is not now.

I joined LWV as soon I was eligible to vote.
They put me to work at polling sites and it was fun.

Texas is pedal to the metal with their gerrymandering scheme, without voter approval. Hopefully, LWV will flood Texas mailboxes as well, advising voters that the concept of "fairness" does no longer matters there.

Tell Texas Lawmakers: Don’t Mess with Our Democracy!



The Texas Legislature is rushing through a flawed, mid-decade redistricting process, without new census data, transparency, or meaningful public input.



As part of theFair Maps Texas Coalition, the League of Women Voters of Texas is standing up against this power grab.



Last week, more than 3,000 Texans testified at redistricting hearings across the state, and over 4,000 public comments were submitted. Clickhereto view the testimony given by LWV Texas at the hearing in Austin. The message was loud and clear: the process is broken,and many believe it's being rigged on purpose..



On Wednesday, lawmakers released a new congressional map thst is gerrymandered, discriminatory, and drafted in secret. Now, they're rushing it through committee, leaving voters little time to review or respond before it's finalized.



Here’s what’s wrong:

Racial gerrymandering is being used to silence communities of color.
Hearings are announced with minimal notice.
Proposed maps are released just hours before public testimony.
Private D.C. lawyers are advising lawmakers behind closed doors.


We deserve better. Texas deserves better.

She should have called for independent 3rd party drawing voting district maps - in all 50 states!

There are several universities and privacy companies that can do that.

There are League of Women Voters in every state. What do they say in Texas? Have they put out a statement. Are they just being suppressed by Texas' reich-wing media?

Maybe they could do a joint press conference with their California colleagues. They better do it quickly though, if the Republicans have their way any disloyal, "both sides", groups may be disbanded.

Greetings!

They paired with groups like MoveOn, Common Cause etc etc....
Of course the Texas legislature ignored them.

Pushing back on this.

We are voting YES on redistricting.
LaMalfa must go!

I get the “principled” stance but these are not normal times and we must adapt to today’s challenges.

We absolutely must take back the House, maybe the Senate, if we want any chance at beating Trump.

When I was invited to a Women's Empowerment afternoon tea with my stepdaughter's GMI - as I was a professional woman who worked for the government.
Me in a room full of boutique shop businesswomen, financial advisors, and Realtors...

She, having grown up in La Jolla, (yes, ma'am, I live in San Diego, also ..) was trying to size out my daughter's background and social acceptability prospects, hoping her grandson was going to have better luck catching a properly raised man-baby caretaker than her son did with his choice.

Did I mention they were all die-hard Mega-Church Republicans?

https://lwvc.org/mailer/

I'm really glad to hear this.

...but their own website says they oppose the mid-cycle redistricting.

https://lwvc.org/opposition-mid-cycle-redistricting/

betrays the TRUST via willful ignorance, indifference, or misguided, ill-advised temerity,

then it's time to KICK THEM TO THE CURB, and forever discount them as anything of legitimacy.

(in short: fuck them)

what's in women's best interests.

No?

Didn't think so.

Apparently, some Germans tried to be "bipartisan" with the nazis. How'd that work out?

Nope.

... but I will be voting YES. I do wish I could vote no, but I can no longer support the independent commissions.

But I do.

https://lwvc.org/mailer/

They pushed hard to remove redistricting from the legislature.

Common Cause was also a key supporter. They seem to be having more trouble deciding how to respond to recent events.

Nah, dawg.

have been infiltrated by Republicans. They keep the bipartisan, or nonpartisan, label but become Republican machines. Sort of like insects being parasitized.

a chance at getting democracy back. Time for a competing women's group!

...membership in TLOWV?

Perhaps this is just one person's opinion, tho if there's a board of directors that approved of this BS, members should withdraw their support.

No more donations from me.

When they became just another megaphone for maga.

I get the "principle" but principles won't matter if we are being crushed by an administration that has no real oversight from the Republicans.

i wasn't aware that the League of Women Voters had become an organization of magats.

There is no "fairness" to any of this. Abbott and his courtiers are f;at out cheating and these nervous ladies are apparently blind to that fact. The only way to counter a cheater or anyone who wants something at your expense is to let him know that you know what's going on as you tilt things the other way so that his efforts are wasted. Then you let him know he can be hurt, too. That last part usually takes care of him. That's how it's worked for me, anyway.

Perhaps maundering about fairness has its place in normal times, but these times are not normal. Until they are, the LWV has just declared itself irrelevant and I find that very sad.

I thought that Texas was redistricting when they weren't supposed to? And then, when Texas Dems vamoosed out of state, they tried to ARREST them? And then, when they returned, they put them basically on house arrest, totally illegal?

We're in this fight to win it. Repubs just lost in Court. We're going to vote YES, and we're going to win! And, all Abbott gets for his trouble is a lawsuit!

We're in a cold war. We have to vote for a pathway back to sane government. Fascists can go to hell!

Just put the flyer in your bathroom for a discretionary emergency. And, that was another waste of money. Nonpartisan, my ass.

and the LWV has disavowed it. https://democraticunderground.com/100220578272
https://lwvc.org/mailer/

morning I went to the LWV website and they had a splash screen saying to vote no against the redistricting.

and who is this Gloria Chun Hoo?

"Don’t upend fairness: Say no to mid-cycle redistricting in California | Opinion By Gloria Chun Hoo Special to The Sacramento Bee"

https://www.sacbee.com/opinion/op-ed/article311506653.html

Either someone hacked their website, and falsely falsely presented themselves as the president of the LWV, or some real weird dirty trick.

They need to do more than just put a screen up saying they weren't behind it, they need to sue someone's ass, and go to the media and get it reported.

They may not be part of this _one_ particular mailer campaign, but they ARE on board with the GOP effort to prevent a California response to the Texas power grab. They seem content to let the Republicans game the system to retain control of congress in 2026 despite the will of the voters.

https://www.sacbee.com/opinion/op-ed/article311506653.html

They need to get their priorities straight.

Vote based on what some organization says(other than Evangelical morons)? I can’t imagine anyone would do that if they aren’t completely brainwashed by that organization.

WTF is on second.

The CA Redistricting Bill will be voted on this November, and it's a "partisan issue."

Since The League of Women Voters is a non-partisan organization, WTF is Hoo doing commenting on a partisan issue?
