Edward Goldstick @ejgoldstick.bsky.social · 3hVery interesting, both the Ballpark podcast and the event* with Larry Kramer: www.lse.ac.uk/lse-player/j... * The link is a bit obscured for me... I do wonder how secession in 1861 was not "constitutional failure" even if "Reconstruction" was the response that endured, if denatured, after 1877. 000
Edward Goldstick @ejgoldstick.bsky.social · 7hSorry, but I cannot agree with McConnell's platitudes after having listened to Dodd's final speech here: youtu.be/zI9Df6zhdHg... This was Nov 2010 when the GOP chose to double down on divisive obstruction. McConnell & the GOP led the way while Fox, Facebook, et al. selectively amplified it. 000

Edward Goldstick @ejgoldstick.bsky.social · 14/10/2026This is the real TRUTH! I watched the video from Trump's account and was shocked, which is saying something... The GOP can act or be responsible for whatever happens next... Professionals in the armed forces cannot stand idly by... Journalists have a responsibility to speak out immediately. 000
