The vote that counts is the vote that is cast.

November 9, 2016 By petr 3 Comments

I sometimes think that America, with all its swagger and bravado, its fetishizing of the individual and individuality, is the poorest choice for a democracy. But then I think I may have it backwards: that the bravado and the mythologizing … [Read more...]

President Biden@POTUS

Looking for funding to turn @macovidvaccines into an end-to-end registration system - MA residents register, we book an appt on their behalf. Let's even the playing field and allow those with fewer resources a fighting chance. DM me with leads, I have a proposal #covidma #mapoli
