Beth @bethlynette.bsky.social · 09/10/2026It's so sickening. The worst part is I don't even know if we'll be able to get him out of the job. Not now that he has a bunker and will soon have an arch with snipers. We are living through uncivil times. I hope we're here to see the pendulum swing back towards civility. 🙏 010

Beth @bethlynette.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I went to a recent Rejoin event and passer-bys cheered & gave us 👍. Back in the day they often jeered or worse. The public gets it.
