As a Floptropican resident of C.V.M. I am deeply concerned by the war with da Boyz and the Labubu queen. I've enlisted in the Floptropican army and will fight and maybe die for my homeland.

“There is a myth that a significant number of moderate voters only vote Republican out of desperation, and if Democrats stood for *less*, we’d get those votes. But there’s no proof for this theory.” - my thoughts on what Dems need to do next.
"The Democratic Party won’t be the Democratic Party without unflinching social justice activism. It’s part of our DNA ... And it also won’t win elections," writes Executive Vice President at Blue State @mayarupert.bsky.social.

condemnations of political violence are well taken but it does feel as if some
prominent political commentators are of the view that violence isn’t a part of the history of American politics and that is very much not true.

Tonight I witnessed ICE violently arresting my neighbor David. They chased him through a garage where he was hiding, then he fled on a moped and then they hit him with their car. We also have video of loud bangs that were possibly gun shots.
As our neighbors vanish daily, this serves as a meaningful way to honor them and highlight the extent of this issue throughout the city’s
