My favorite thing as a writer is when I start ranting about something on Bluesky, get it all out of my system, and then turn it into a real piece of writing.
On that note: hey, it’s me, heckling centrist Dems in the New Republic!

Colorado voters overwhelmingly supported a pair of ballot measures that increase taxes on wealthy households to ensure every public school child in the state is able to access free meals at school. It also provides support for school districts to buy food that is local, and gives raises to staffers.
