“The United States is going through the largest number of layoffs since [checks notes] the last time Donald Trump was president.
Every single Republican president in my lifetime has crashed the economy. Trump is the first to do it twice.”

Is this a VOTING DISTRICT? The red looks more like paint got spilled on the floor again right next to the wall and is dripping down a knothole.

Is this a VOTING DISTRICT? It looks like a boot with a tassel on the back. Not sure if that little blue puck at the bottom is a toe poking out of the boot or its own, um, district.

I’m reading Imperium (1994) by Ryszard Kapuscinski. He’s describing workers trying to organize a strike. They don’t know how! Could this be a future us, if we don’t succeed in stopping the fascists?

This from Joyce Vance. Even if it was only temporary (I can't verify), it's a bit of a slap in the face to fascists..

That, then, was happiness.
We didn’t see it coming.
We only realized it when it was going away.
