Fan of voting, common sense and Kenny Rogers. Nihilism and horseshoe thinking doesn't accomplish anything. It's mocked here. Tax the churches - yes, that one, too.

Trump is putting a surveillance hub in Vermont, and Bernie Sanders should be screaming his head off. I haven't heard a peep.

"We took the freedom of speech away."

An image of the flag of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

I don't think these people will be ashamed. I watch and listen to people who don't regret their votes for Trump or Stein.

People who stayed home are smugly complacent. Most white men know they are safe. It's big problem.

The observation that many of Mamdani fans are dicks and are actively bad for his campaign is still solid.

We are! It was not my intention to condescend.

It's surreal that genuinely malevolent people are trying to set us against each other.

I have to believe we will win.

There's a Comms position so.... Yes?

Feels like it

It's just super depressing that the Q_n_n people talk about protecting children and went gaga over the Sound of Freedom messages of saving children are now indifferent to starving and zip tying children.

I mean.... Code violations, citizen accountability boards.... There's plenty to do!

I can't wait for JD Vance to handwave shooting a priest and go right to selling indulgences.

Congratulations! Very cool.

The Pod Axel hatred of Kamala Harris, it something else.

He clearly thought Hannibal Lecter ruined the census too.

Damn Chianti.

There's one party fighting to preserve health care coverage and release the Epstein files and govern.

That's Democrats

There's one party letting Trump blow up the cost of health care coverage, cut cancer research, cover up Epstein files and send soldiers into cities.

That's Republican.

Ok. I laughed.

It matters because you don't seem to know how our laws work.

annabellelecter.bsky.social @annabellelecter.bsky.social · 9h

I mean... police unions

They don't have subpoena power.

It's important for voters and non voters to be realistic about what can be done to stop Trump.

Sigh

We can't be numbed to this
