You’d have to push me aside, but I wouldn’t mind if you did, because it would mean we shared a special moment. Yes, I know that sounds creepy but I don’t care.

Are people on Bluesky aware that a Black man was found hanging from a tree in Raleigh NC yesterday afternoon, near the CaribMask Carnival. Making this the sixth or seventh Black person found hung this year. Also? Black. People. Do. Not. Hang. Themselves. From. Trees.

Gerrymandering lets politicians choose their voters instead of the other way around. Until we end that, it will remain difficult to achieve the things most Americans already agree on.

In 1933, Justice Louis Brandeis said: “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.” What he said was true 93 years ago. It’s even more accurate today. Let us choose democracy over oligarchy.

I agree to a point - under the last two democratic presidents investments in those areas you mentioned were prioritized while also dealing with legacy disruption of their predecessors, which in effect limited what they could do. Unencumbered, I believe the investments would have been higher.

Republicans want you to believe that the 2020 election was stolen, the insurrection was justified & their voter suppression laws are about election security. That's because they know they can't win if we all vote and they've embraced fascism to stay in power. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

23 people could stop this genocidal war criminal. That’s it. 23. 20 Republican senators and 3 republican reps in the house and he’d be out of politics forever. But they won’t. They’re addicted to power. A drug so strong they’d rather see a civilization die than give it up.
