very easy to see what is happening. trump will run for a third term, he’ll try to bring the dispute to federal courts, where his election denying judges will rewrite the 22nd amendment to mean it only refers to “consecutive” terms.

Thanks you to all the Europeans explaining to me I'm the comments how my country is failing into dictatorship. Very useful.

Speeches are nice but what are you going to do about it @schatz.bsky.social

The L.A. protesters have really gone too far this time… 🌼
