Tim Peck and Sarah Blessing discuss the new terrible Supreme Court decision which took away the last tiny bit of gerrymandering protections this country had. What does this mean for our future? How can grassroots organizing fix this massive problem? Also, how will AI such as Chat GPT help voters find the secrets our elected officials and candidates do NOT want you to know about?
