What's the penalty for treason? (Asking for a friend.)

You rock

I absolutely believe elections matter. This is the first time in my 60 years I’ve ever truly entertained the scenarios where they might not.

Agreed, Tuesday’s rebuke was big and wonderful to behold.

Yep, that's indeed what he was saying. Him I worry about less than those using him and his vanity. Along with SCOTUS and Congress.

To my mind, it's best to consider all options are in play.

The point this cautious optimist is fixated upon is that confidence in a process that can be undermined by an ideologically compromised SCOTUS and GOP congressional majority is…optimistic.

In a year we’ll know more. Asserting we’re an ahistorical anomaly isn’t a strategy.

I’ve not given up. I was elated. But I have no illusions that free and fair elections are guaranteed. Especially after Tuesday.

The debate-club fencing is deft, but it evades the fact that the Miller-Vought axis is decidedly fascist. And they’re in charge.

We can play the ‘definitional accuracy of the now’ game versus the all-too-obvious desired end-state all the way to gulags.

Elections are great if they’re real.

Let’s prevent Bluesky from becoming x by blocking trolls like you.

I’m bloodthirsty as hell and so is everyone I know (several who are not the ‘base’, not Ds). Not for ‘revenge’ or ‘humiliation’ but for deterrence, accountability and whatever it takes to safeguard us from christofascism.

Pack the court, prosecute them all, everything’s on the table.

Welp, another subscription canceled.

Simple for me…I don’t want to participate in ecosystems when that helps generate money for Elon or Zuck. Fuck ‘em both.

I’m afraid I have no answers as I’ve pretty much lost faith that there’s a decisive mass of principle.

Oh, saw his feed as I blocked him. Amended to ‘racist fuckwit’.

Friendly advice: don’t feed the trolls. Block and move on.

This little fuckwit isn’t worth an ounce your energy.

Go get your potato.

We are talking about everything. This is just one very salient aspect that will hit everyone, including those who cheer for ICE.
