Staving off the crushing weight of the fall of democracy by emailing Sen Gary Peters every morning and telling him how he’s now another old, white, male dem who’s contributed to the downfall of the party with his yes vote on the budget. 10/10 recommend.

Yeah, this is right.
"America does not need a 'resistance,' or stale slogans, or people putting those slogans on little paddles. It needs an opposition party that boldly defends the nation’s virtues, the rule of law, and the rights of its people," writes @radiofreetom.bsky.social:

I thought working through an insurrection was gonna be the wildest thing I did in the name of capitalism, but applying for jobs during the midst of a coup no one knows how to stop is swiftly taking the top spot.
