We need to acknowledge the hard truth that we are officially in a new era where shots are being called by a small cabal of radicals or even a single obstructionist senator. And, to be frank, that is a dangerous and fundamentally undemocratic thing.

How is it that our democracy can be held hostage by such a small group of extremists? And what, if anything, can be done to limit the damage and prevent such hostage taking in the future? https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/mccarthy-tuberville-gaetz-gop-minority

The Big Picture
@georgetakei
It’s very scary what’s happening in your country. I’m watching from the other side of the big pond and it’s rather worrying.
I hope, for everyone’s sake, it’ll shift to a more positive and inclusive US.
It’ll be a more lovely place.
For now I rather stay on this side of the ocean, if you don’t mind.
@mopperswompf That's totally fair! But thank you for the well wishes. I have the same hope. ♥️
