Seeing so many ppl posting "trans rights are human rights" is heartening. Also made me aware some ppl don't know which rights are unprotected or explicitly denied.

2. #StarTrek TNG's legendary Borg double episode (last of season 3; first of season 4). If you've never watched Trek you might watch the prequel to this, season 2, episode 16 (Q-Who?) first, but that's optional. Thrilling & inspiring!

Personally, I think the party system sucks. Ranked voting is our best chance to create diversity by diluting the effects of that system.

Kinda sucks replying, then not allowing further conversation. Yes, they have Dem Soc backing-good strategy. Still, they chose to *also* work the inside track.
Lack of a strong presence has tanked minority parties. Maybe use the Dems against themselves, push ranked voting? Could blow it wide open.

Yeah, your peeps won.
The GOP bragged they’d never negotiate — that they didn’t need Democrats.
Then they shut down the government, threw parties at Mar-a-Lago, and kept Congress on vacation while Americans missed paychecks.
Polls were turning on them.
