As Argentina’s president celebrates our $40B ‘gift’ from the US with Trump at Mar-a-Lago, Stone crab claws were served.
Meanwhile, SNAP payments were cut off to American people, and bread lines formed across the country.

I know it's tempting to look at yesterday's election numbers in America and speculate about lack of 2024 election integrity, but I really caution against doing so without measured skepticism and evidence. Trust in overall election integrity and certification is vital to US stability going forward.

I wish it hadn't taken a year to get a large number of Americans to care like this, but I'm really glad they finally seem to be. Now we have a year of work maintaining momentum, mitigating the retaliatory damage, and fighting a huge shit sandwich of anti-election and gerrymandering efforts.
