Until the cancer is gone then there should be no time wasted on MAGA tears or conciliation. Only endless justice and rebuilding the democracy. Govern like every day is the last day. 151021249

Reposted by matosoBruce Wilson @brucewilson.bsky.social · 30/09/2026This is indeed remarkable. It also raises the question, if James Talarico can utterly reject the GOP's scaremongering fascist anti-immigrant framing & successfully promote "immigration is good for America", why can't he reject anti-trans scaremongering too?remarkable.itChecking your browser...Before you can access this site, we need to verify you’re human. 35610
