Seems like wanting to remove a competitor that provides good jobs and is accountable to WE THE PEOPLE.
It's so funny.

"The USPS losses money"

So does the federal highway commission. But we all understand that if we didn't invest money in this you couldn't drive anywhere.

But for some reason we've let shithead delivery companies convince you otherwise.

I don't know how book banning is a thing. The minute a librarian or teacher is asked to remove a book they should ask for that request in writing, with names attached, and go straight to the socials with this fuckery

Indiana’s 340B safety net is at risk.

We submitted public comment opposing a proposal that would redirect healthcare funding away from local communities.

We’re urging the state to withdraw it and protect care Hoosiers rely on.

Outrageous.

Stripping Liam Conejo Ramos and his family of asylum is beyond cruel and indefensible.

This decision must be overturned. Shame.

HOLY SHIT.

A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election.

Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?
