I am IN, @kerrykennedy.bsky.social. So many of us are in.
Three years and one month from today, I’m going to grab a pickax and pull those letters off that building, but I’m going to need help holding the ladder. Are you in? Applying for my carpenter’s card today, so it’ll be a union job!!!

Liberalism as "Loser Talk"
There’s something about political liberalism, with its vocabulary of toleration, pluralism, deliberation, and process, that feels, to many people today, like weakness.

JUNETEENTH in Harlem.
This is what America is about.
Perhaps the most American holiday of all, Juneteenth honors the very best of what this country can be. It’s a celebration of the courage to fight for freedom, even when the cost is steep.
It’s sad that the president gets angry over this
