Autumn Wolff | Lesbian Author & Narrator@autumnwolff.bsky.social · 5h ago"Pronouns used to be a funny joke, Hank. Until the government tried to tell me I couldn't use them anymore.

The most critical day 1 initiatives for the next Dem administration will be court expansion and DC/PR statehood While I don’t love some of the specific candidates winning their primaries rn I am happy that the right message is being sent to Dems: play hardball or we will primary you
In a vacuum, I don't think this is a bad idea. I'd actually be in favor of it But man, it's really, really low on the list of priorities for what the next Democratic President needs to accomplish in office. This is the exact opposite of a bold and splashy proposal
