"When anxious, uneasy, and bad thoughts come, I go to the sea, and the sea drowns them out with its great wide sounds, cleanses me with its noise, and imposes a rhythm upon everything in me that is bewildered and confused."
~ Rainer Maria Rilke

Mamdani is the gold standard of politicians right now.
Leading by example. Showing what a government for the people by the people is supposed to be.

When we see injustice, we do not look away. We get in good trouble. And we build bridges despite adversity. Happy Heavenly Birthday, Congressman.

Congress will vote to lower the age to prosecute minors as adults from 16 down to 14 in DC.

Congress wants to prosecute 14 yr. olds as adults, but they donβt want to prosecute adults who sexually abuse 14 year olds?

Agree, of course, with Ms Collins. His personal attack on her not smiling isn't just grotesque, it's also completely out of line re: the subject matter. His narcissistic need to have every single interaction being about feeding his ego or he lashes out is exhausting.
