It appears to me that, occasionally, the thin veneer of civilisation and goodness that we have cultured so carefully over centuries, wears through and our basic barbarism shines through.
Hopefully we recover after seeing ourselves more clearly.

According to ‘The Hill,’
AOC is considering a 2028 run for president.
God strongly supports @aoc.bsky.social for president in 2028. She is brilliant and has the courage of her convictions. People follow courage.

It sickens me when people try to lay the blame for the outcome of the election on the Democratic campaign.
It was a campaign of hope, of inclusion and joy. The blame is on the type of people that make up the majority of the American electorate.
In the end a black woman was just to much for them.

Surely they don’t all support X, for Musk’s sake?

I have just landed here from X.
I’m looking forward to the exchange of ideas in a non-toxic environment.
I’m a retired academic and now teach science. I love music, poetry and science. I hate fascism and totalitarianism.
I despair for the new realities that dumb people are imposing on us.
