If someone is asking for loyalty over law, admiration over accountability, or applause over answers… congratulations, you’re not being led. You’re being managed. We already tried the crown thing. It didn’t go well. 5/5

Democracy isn’t dramatic most days. It’s paperwork, patience, and people showing up when it’s inconvenient. No gold trim. No throne. Just accountability, which is wildly unpopular with anyone who thinks rules are for other people. 4/5

Power without limits doesn’t become efficient. It becomes entitled. Then it becomes abusive. Then it becomes normal. That last part is where things really go sideways, because people stop noticing. 3/5

Now we’ve got people romanticizing strongmen like it’s a Netflix genre. Spoiler: it always ends the same way. Fewer rights, louder propaganda, and a lot of folks suddenly discovering they are not the favored courtier. 2/5

So we’re doing crowns again. Not the dental kind, the “I alone can fix it” variety. Cute. We did a whole thing back in 1776 about not kneeling for a guy in fancy shoes who thought laws were optional suggestions. It was messy, loud, and apparently easy to forget. 1/5

In 2015, Jeffrey #Epstein took a photo of a dinner he attended and emailed it to himself. I spot Peter Theil, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman, among others.

Howard Lutnick lies over and over about his ties with Pedofile Epstein. He was in business with Epstein at least till 2014 and further on. Howard Lutnick resign now. youtu.be/yWpwejuO6i0?...

I swore I'd never go back to Threads as that place fills me with cynicism, self-hatred & misplaced Virginia ency, but this post makes me want to go back and preach about how Morgan Jackson is a lead weight on the NC Dems & hurts North Carolina as a whole on @americanmuckrakers.com's behalf. #NCpol

Packed house this afternoon in Lakewood Ranch! Change is coming.

Very proud of friend & next Gov of FL @davidjolly.bsky.social for this heartfelt stand. I watched it 3 times, it was so good & he was so fired up he ran out of breath at the end. You'll love his pod with @moedavis.bsky.social & @davidbwheeler.bsky.social on MUCK YOU music.amazon.com/podcasts/b2e...

@grimlin.bsky.social proud to be #600 follower!

Morgan Jackson seems to be the most consequential person in North Carolina politics who those in #NCpol have never heard of and the more I go down this rabbit hole, the more I loathe him. And yet if I call this out, people call me hysterical.
