Imaginez. Vous êtes un multi milliardaire, vous décidez que vous en avez assez de payer des impôts dans l’État qui vous a soutenu toute votre carrière, qui vous a permis de vous enrichir grassement via des subventions, via des contrats fédéraux obtenus grace à l’intervention d’élus locaux.
Vous déménagez votre maison et tous vos business dans un État beaucoup plus conservateur histoire d’encore plus vous enrichir.
Vous faites savoir haut et fort à quel point cet État est formidable.
And in my congressional district, Broderick is only 280 votes ahead of DesJarlais, with the independent/third-party candidates sucking up any greater lead Broderick might have had. #USPol
I’m in one of those wildly gerrymandered districts of Tennessee, where the GOP figured DesJarlais would be a shoo-in. #USPol

Yes, and no. I do see the massively positive trend, but I can’t escape the racism evident there. Those people aren’t going to go away quietly, one election isn’t enough to change this country. It’s going to take a lot of work.

I need to amend this -- I'm speaking from a place of anger that Arizona voted blue at the governorship and representative level, but passed several #antiTrans and #antiVotingRights propositions.
I do celebrate - and so should you! - the Black, trans, and LGBTQIA+ representatives that other states elected!
Good to see you back, America 💙
Interestingly....
It is not known upon whom this character is based. The legend of Robin Hood (which is at least as old as the 14th century) traditionally referred to the Sheriff of Nottingham only by his title. The post of Sheriff of Nottingham only came into existence in 1449. However, there has from very early Norman times been a High Sheriff of Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and the Royal Forests, appointed by the king, which became High Sheriff of Nottinghamshire in 1568. The character in the legend could therefore have been based on the royal appointee responsible for law enforcement in the royal forests (which included Sherwood Forest).

America won't heal in my lifetime (though it's super important we start the long journey of repairing it for future generations). But I am tickled to live to see Texas have a chance to change for the first time in a long time.
@hacks4pancakes I am glad to see a lot of change here in Texas and am hopeful for the first time in a long time.
Then I look at my counties returns and see I am still a blue dot in a sea of red but the totals of contested races are closer.

SF results are looking pretty bad though. the absolute worst thing (public transit eviscerated) probably isn't happening, but most of the other bad outcomes seems to be winning. tech's takeover and occupation of this city has been years in the making. they're hated everywhere else and the bubble has never been closer to bursting but for the moment at least they can ride their waymos down market st and look at all the incomprehensible AI billboards and feel like the center of the universe.
When we're as surrounded by streaming platforms as we are now, it's easy to forget that the DRM-free life still exists. Even now, there are dozens of record labels, publishers, and online retailers that refuse to abuse their customers. Learn about them in the Guide: https://u.fsf.org/1lr #EndDRM #DRM
@jeffjarvis heh. He ran from CA to blood red TX; where will he run now? I suppose TX is still friendlier to the Scrooges of the world ... 🤔
John Lewis is bullshit. I would like to vote John Lewis out. Redistribute the wealth. John Lewis is the Sheriff of Nottingham of shops. Or Christmas. I've lost control of this metaphor.
@TheBreadmonkey I think you are doing very well as it is.
