• 🗳️ this comment got me put on a bunch of "vote shamers" blocklists & i just wanted to say that if you didn't vote against the nazis & for harm reduction then you should be ashamed you can blame whoever you want for your lack of civic engagement but at the end of the day you did nothing to stop this - bsky.app
• 🧭 No, public health and government collapse, climate change denial, not kidnapping people off the streets and sending them to a torture camp in El Salvador was avoidable.
