Votes are a matter of public record. @repauchincloss.bsky.social has refused to participate in a candidate forum organized by a local Indivisible group. Auchincloss voted repeatedly to enable Trump's wars and authoritarianism.
Kann das echt nicht anhören ohne Aggressionen zu bekommen. Ich wusste vor dreißig Jahren schon, daß das deutsche Asylrecht ein gut gemeinter Reflex auf unsere Vergangenheit ist, aber ansonsten völlig utopisch. Jeder wusste das, außer Claudia Roth.

Planned school closures and mergers in Philly are set to cost billions, @lisamhaver.bsky.social says. School board members say they don't know where those funds are going to come from — but the majority voted to go ahead with the plan anyway:
