When I was in high school, my friend Shannon who had diabetes was low on sugar. She started to say very strange things at first. Before we could get her help, she started to scream and rammed herself against a bunch of tables and chairs. Then she proceeded to pass out.

Gerrymandering Returns to North Carolina

In a disturbing change of course, the North Carolina Supreme Court abandoned rulings limiting partisan gerrymandering and greenlit an aggressive redrawing of district maps.
