Buttigieg: We sit in a in a country that's got the wrong number of people on the Supreme Court, possibly the wrong number of representatives in the House of Representatives. And by the way, when you consider the disenfranchisement of the people of DC, we have the wrong number of states in the US

There is something brutally psychically injurious to being constantly told "just do good work and you'll be successful" while watching people who do the most dogshit work possible do all the succeeding.

This clemency grant to Tina Peters is an affront to our democracy, the people of Colorado, and election officials across the country. The Governor’s actions today will validate and embolden the election denial movement, and leave a dark, dangerous imprint on American democracy for years to come.

Best of times, Worst of times.

No I said don’t tread on *me*. You can get treaded on.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Every damn day @edsbs.bsky.social

I could easily see myself voting for someone who runs on abolishing ice and prosecuting every single one of them and the entire administration free campaign idea to good home

It turns out that protecting hate speech did not create the conditions to protect other kinds of speech; instead, it protected hate and allowed hate movements to take over all the institutions of that might have defended the rest of us.

When you strip away humanity

Verily, it is one of the universe’s great mysteries as to why the American public is no longer obsessed with Suffering From Inflation™️ & is now just “learning to live” with it
