WTF is Katie Hobbs doing???? Talk about being tone deaf in the moment! Sure this guy isn’t MAGA, but that is not needed right now. She’s an effective Governor, but such a crap campaigner. She’s still getting my vote because eff Biggs but damn.

As long as I can mute and block conservatives, they can be here, I truly don’t care. Bluesky however is the Thanksgiving Dinner I can attend because I’ve muted and blocked my MAGA relatives so I certainly am not going to want to hang out with conservative strangers here.

I'm thinking about launching a new app. It's called Turtle. The rules are someone else has to post for you, only doctored photos allowed and instead of someone unfollowing you, you get ghosted. I wonder where that idea came from..

If I were involved in a Constitutional Convention, I would definitely use my Larry David voice. I would call for an end to the private prison industry. I would call for an end to the Electoral College in favor of a popular vote. I would change campaign finance systems. dessert sharing legal.

When I ran for office one of the things the State Dem Chair told me was that I needed to run Centrist. Not a single question about any ideas I would bring to the table. I was asked that by the voters and The Arizona Repubic Editorial Review Board.

I hope Centrists and the Right keep amplifying Mamdani’s Democratic Socialism because he’s delivering. And not for the wealthy or Corporations, for all citizens who live and work in NYC. It’s one of the reasons 3 Council seats went Progressive here.

ICE and the private prison industry must. E abolished. Not only for their murders, but in many cases small towns whose main industry was a prison run by the State are dying. Look at Susanville, CA

The Republican candidate here for Governor is actually running on increasing the sales tax to 23%… He’s a damned moron. So for other States with Republicans running, what are their less than brilliant ideas?
