@b2o6n4.bsky.social let’s get her on the ballot for primaries.

@danisterbinsky.bsky.social is running in #AZ09 to unseat Paul Gosar. If you’re in her district please follow her. If you’re in #AZ please help us boost her so others can find her! That man has to go!!! It will be uphill. 09 is considered a red district. A safe red district. Let’s flip it!

I can't get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications
Especially at night
I worry over situations that
I know will be all right
It's just overkill

Oh, does it benefit the US to provide aid to foreign countries? That would have been good to know back in January and February.

Middle of nowhere mountain west is the most common because that's where we do this stuff, big open spaces with few people and big empty deserts nearby is all useful. It's still America!

I would have liked to have seen Montana.
