Y’all do yourselves a favor and listen to Ludwig Göransson’s Sinners score while reading @sgj.bsky.social ‘s Buffalo Hunter Hunter. It’s such a visceral experience it almost feels like the score was made for both.

The thing about watching a JD Vance speech is that everyone knows he’s a little pig man. Everyone knows he exists to squeal for Trump‘s amusement. No one respects him and he clearly doesn’t respect himself.

The difference between most red states and blue states is gerrymandering. That's it. Blue states have largely sensible districts, while red states will have districts shaped like the spiral from True Detective to avoid letting Black people have a fair say. Abandonment is further capitulation.
The problem with the "break up the US and let red states do their own thing" take I keep seeing is that a plurality of Black Americans live in red states. Trans people live in red states. Indigenous people live in red states. Disabled people live in red states.
Your plan for them is...what exactly?

10 days ago Trump fired hundreds of FAA employees, weakening the systems air traffic controllers rely on.
Maybe instead of handing Elon a $2 billion FAA contract, we should use that money to actually hire and retain the workers who keep our skies safe.

Dear @klobuchar.senate.gov, I received an email from your office urging me to reach out to the GOP to “persuade” them to stop throwing us under the bus…but I am not represented by the GOP. You are one of my Senators and I expect you to act like it. I expect you to fight back like it’s your damn job.
Hello Bluesky!
I'm joining this platform because now more than ever, the American people need to be informed about what's going on. Chaos is up, corruption is up, and costs are up — and I spoke on The View about how Democrats are standing up for the American people.
