I hate that every day now I clean my apartment and take mental health walks with my dog to avoid hiding in bed, and both things help until I learn the newest ways the US federal government is being hollowed out further

I appreciate everyoneā€™s messages of support, Iā€™m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, itā€™s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

Why canā€™t @democrats.org just push the people out of the way that are blocking doors? Why canā€™t they just say no to the wet noodle boys that want access to their servers? WHYYYYY isnā€™t anyone fighting back? Are they being held at gunpoint and no one is telling us?

Pete Buttegieg mustā€™ve been holding these planes up with his bare hands, at this point. My word.

i feel like "we don't have a king" was basically the united states' only good idea until the invention of the corn dog

I've noted some of the procedural things Democrats could be doing in Congress, but this point from @edgeofsports.bsky.social's great piece in the Nation deserves emphasis. This is basic politics, and it's baffling that every Democrat isn't doing it every day. www.thenation.com/article/poli...
