This week, Kristen and Harrison unpack the political power play of the moment: Texas’ mid-decade redistricting—and the blatant gerrymandering that comes with it. From the history of the term to the modern-day tactics of “packing” and “cracking,” they reveal how district maps become weapons, why it’s happening now, and who really loses when democracy gets bent out of shape.Along the way, they connect the dots between Trump’s phone calls, Abbott’s strategy, and the dilution of Black and Latino voting power—plus what Democrats could learn from playing the long game in their own strongholds.It’s civics class with a queer edge, and you’ll never look at a map the same way again.
