these people swore an oath to defend the constitution but i guess that’s just too hard

I pray for you, too. I pray above all for #Peace. From here, war appears even more absurd. Let us pray for martyred Ukraine, Palestine, Israel, Lebanon, Myanmar, Sudan, and Kivu.

I’m excited for @gregcasar.bsky.social’s leadership at the Progressive Caucus. He’s going to be great.
