Jonathan Fertig @rightlegpegged.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Highly recommend this thread for insight into how off the rails the @wutrain.bsky.social administration has gone. How are people supposed to reconcile the mayor’s emotional remarks at Louisa’s ceremony with this about face? These decisions have life and death consequences, damnit! 050

Jonathan Fertig @rightlegpegged.bsky.social · 17/07/2026Chris Osgood, that’s who’s going to fix this mess? Seriously? He’s a political creature who will bend to the political whim of the day.
