Charlestown, Virginia Dec 2, 1859 I, John Brown, am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood. I had, as I now think vainly, flattered myself that without very much bloodshed it might be done.

I am begging one, JUST ONE, congressional reporter to follow up with Mike Johnson by asking, "What are the American people to make of a Speaker of the House who tells us daily that he's not aware of what's happening on Capitol Hill and the White House?"

covid should have lead to revolution in clean, fresh air standards, not necessarily because it’s a singular threat, but because it led to us understanding for the first time the true nature of aerosol spread of infective pathogens. this would be true even if covid stopped existing

The best way to navigate this is to BUILD AN ACCESSIBLE WORLD. This kills me, and in many/most situations isn't that hard, it shifts the burden of effort where it belongs (on institutions, away from people), and THERE IS NOT CHEATING. The world just works for more people.

I don’t want to talk about if we should show grace to the Nazi tattoo guy or if he should stop running & go back to his cushy job anymore I will just say that many states in the early 2000s either attempted to or passed laws where you could be fined, processed or imprisoned for sagging your pants.

Whatever you think of the White House as a building or a symbol, the fact is that the image of it being torn apart on a whim two days after 7 million people hit the streets against autocracy is going to make a HUGE amount of people really, really angry, and that's an energy that should be harnessed.

Just saw @alymay.bsky.social's comment at ABQ City Council urged the council to take up ranked choice instant runoff voting for future elections, not just for the cost savings, but because competing to be ranked voters second and third choice makes elections policy-responsive, less about personality
