Reposted by Bill KingGordon Padelford @gordonofseattle.bsky.social · 28/04/2026In my experience, angry petitions fighting against something tend to get 10X the engagement of those expressing gratitude. I don't love what that says about our culture, and I also worry that it makes it harder to keep momentum going when elected leaders do the right thing. But you can be the change 23212
