This has been a bad week for authoritarianism.

A good week for democracy.

@rbreich Hi Robert, Good to have you here! Peace to you
@rbreich having hope is important.. it keeps the faith in humanity going..

@rbreich we need to do more than win though. Millions still voted against democracy.

Dems need to vigorously govern to show that not only is democracy essential for having a just and good society but it is also capable of solving their problems.

@rbreich Sadly, if you're following Israeli politics, the situation here is the complete opposite.
@rbreich And a GREAT week for Dems in *state legislatures*!
@rbreich unless you happen to call Florida or Texas home.
@rbreich I am so ready for some sanity.
@rbreich Yes it has been a great week for democracy. Thanks again to all the Veterans out there.🇺🇸
@rbreich I wish that were more true... we might - MIGHT - have just dogged a bullet this time but this is not going away - even if trump goes away... really concerned about where this is heading
@rbreich Nice to see you here at Mastodon! Welcome!
@rbreich if you say it, it must be true. I feel like we are still teetering but moving closer to center
@rbreich I read that quickly as “this has been a bad week for algorithms” and I thought, yes! Indeed. User driven content and interactive following are so lovely on Mastodon. My misreading=another layer of understanding. #WhereAreMyGlasses #Algorithms #MastodonMigration
