My vote’s the riff from Swing Down Sweet Chariot, but I won’t hate. We all have to live our truths.
In one thousand years when all is ash and bone, a lone survivor will walk across the barren wasteland of all that remains. They will remember nothing of the world that was, except maybe that riff from Seven Nation Army.

Have mixed feelings re the endorsement because we aren’t really talking about a faction that inspires anything like intra coalition trust but Biss has been a good mayor, I like him personally and dangerous dumbfuckery like an ex republican influencer parachuting into my district is fking infuriating

@danielbiss.bsky.social will be a critical partner in advancing bold progressive priorities in Congress. Because of his deep roots in the district and decades of service to Illinois, we are confident he will continue to build a broad coalition of local support. We are proud to endorse him.
