After the firestorm of Episode 11, we’re slowing it down, but not letting up.

In this shorter episode we zoom out and take a look at Prop 50, what’s really at stake, and why redistricting — that seemingly dry, procedural word — is a power move. We’ll give you a quick, no-fluff primer on congressional districting in California, walk through a little history, and unpack why things aren’t always what they seem on the ballot, especially when there's this much money involved. 

Small Business shout out goes to one of our taco (and burrito) spots, Tacos 210, a longtime Altadena food truck favorite run by Omar de Anda Sanchez. Solid burritos, fish tacos, birria con consomme, and vegan and gluten-free options done right, plus a great feature on Omar and his escape from a burning Altadena on SF Gate a few months ago (shout out to Farley for that one). Find Tacos 210 on Fair Oaks just south of Ventura and follow @tacos_210 for the latest.
