Listen to Pete Buttigieg.
Buttigieg on Indiana: "The big part of how Trumpism works is to make you feel totally disempowered. To make him feel inevitable. And yet the clear takeaway from this is he is not unstoppable and you are not without power."

Required by law to serve every address supported by a shrinking market. USPS exists on sales but answers to government. Other delivery services go their own way merrily unionless.
For the last time, The United States Postal System did not post a $6 billion loss last year because The United States Postal System is not a for profit endeavor.
It is a service our Government provides to her people.
Just like the U.S. military didn’t post a $900 billion loss last year.

What are these men afraid of? There’s a move to destroy women’s right to vote. A natural progression from controlling reproductive rights.
The myth that Eve was created from Adam’s rib justifies women being less.

There must be zero tolerance for violence — of any kind — against the brave men and women in uniform who selflessly serve our communities and our country. The shooting of National Guard members in Washington, D.C. is horrific and unacceptable.

I’m so grateful for each of you, your kindness, and support. You brighten my days, lift my heart, and make life sweeter. Wishing you good food, good company, and zero family drama—may your turkey be juicy, your mashed potatoes fluffy, and your pants forgiving. Love you all! Happy Thanksgiving! 🍁✨

Both convinced a majority they are magic. Both hide between a mask of omnipotence. (They are not.) Both will sail away unscathed.

I am terrified that his “plan” for peace in Ukraine, subtitled “Putin’s Birthday Present” will be accepted by the world because leaders are afraid of him.

Words that explain our current climate: “Authoritarians want you to follow their will, not the law; they value personal loyalty over party loyalty; and they tend to erupt over disagreement and dissent, viewing it as a betrayal.”
