The Supreme Court, Presidency, Senate and two party system are all quite anti-democratic institutions as presently constructed.
Our institutions are not only incapable of preventing tyranny—they’re currently enabling it.
When democracy returns, we need to reform our political system.

I came across *the* example I have been hammering with these food delivery robots.
A man with a mobility aid is forced to step aside because there is not room for him because the robot will not make room for a person (esp. those with a mobility aid who need addditional room)

Watching the Patrick Stewart version of #MobyDick with E.T.’s Elliott as Ishmael and Gregory Peck as Father Mapple. I saw the original maybe a dozen times and this one only once before. Read the novel once and never again—despite it being the paramount book in American literature

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

A young #PatsyMink couldn’t go to medical school because too mant women applied. So she went to law school and ended up changing the law in Congress. Based on her progressive history, we believe she would have supported trans in sports

Netflix buying Warner Bros. Discovery is more dangerous than airline and food mergers
America should be breaking up oligopolies, not consolidating them into fewer companies.
