This is no longer just one scandal, or a simple partisan dispute. This is an earthquake for the Article 3 branch of government. Silence will not work. A full explanation, and a fulsome reform, is the only way forward.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialMay 4(source)

Yes to this. I plan to do the same.

The intentionality of bringing in trans, other queer, BiPOC folks early and trying to create a safe space first - is really something to admire.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialMay 4(source)

This is both exciting and stresses me out.

Fox spent 20 minutes reporting on the verdict in the Sheeran case in the past hour. They also reported on the seditious conspiracy verdict as well… for 26 seconds

I cannot even begin to state how much of a profound failure of leadership we have seen in the last 24h re: Jordan Neely. Virtually every one of us is closer to being in Neely’s shoes than we think. How could any leader struggle to condemn violence? Being poor or sick is not a license to be killed

Over the past 24 hours, neither the governor nor the mayor have at all condemned the killing of a homeless man on the subway. https://hellgatenyc.com/mayor-and-governor-agree-its-too-soon-to-unequivocally-condemn-fatally-choking-a-homeless-person-on-the-subway

Hey Alex, you make a good point actually cause my official accounts don’t block on other social. I appreciate the input. I’m going to check in on this.
