One of the cooler moments of my career…also, I learned that week around the @texasdemocrats.bsky.social office that there is an age gap that can be statistically measured by whether or not the person knows who @markhamillofficial.bsky.social is.

There are only three political positions in America today
1) I like the fascism
2) I'll acquiesce to the fascism (reasons for this one vary: cowardice, access, denial, misguidedly thinking that acquiescence is savvy, etc)
3) I oppose the fascism
The rest is details

Star Wars is awesome and Zohran is awesome and Nazis and billionaires shouldn’t exist.

Did Donald Trump Attack Iran Because of Minerals?
Months after China ceased exports on an incredibly valuable metal used to produce ammunition, the United States has attacked a country that just found a MASSIVE supply of it. Interesting timing or...?

Texans want the freedom to live their lives how they want, relax the way they want, and self-medicate safely the way they want. Texas businesses, families and veterans do not want a ban on THC.

Currently listening to the results being released by @uptogether.bsky.social from the Oakland guaranteed basic income pilot. It was $500/mo for 18 months. Awesome to see that recipients were 44% less likely to experience homelessness compared to the control group, worked more, and kids got more As!
