I’m skeptical of how much of this can be dialed back through peaceful democratic means but at the very least every future candidate at all levels should be asked “how will you commit to reducing Executive power and overreach” and insufficient answers should be a dealbreaker.

Just to be clear: Sergio is marveling at a man sleeping in his own urine on the train.
It reminds me of Catherine of Siena kissing the wounds of plague victims and other insane things (love her).

This was my first year teaching Adults, and teaching in France.
I also got an article published in @plough.bsky.social.
My French is still bad but I can function more or less.
I also have finished being treated for ADHD and Depression and no longer need meds.
What a year.
