And can we win without them?16 Sep 2025 13:13 +0000at://did:plc:2c3g4tp53pod544fc4xczpvp/app.bsky.feed.post/3lyxfkrqvk22chttps://bsky.app/profile/patriciahamilton.bsky.social/post/3lyxfder7sk2cIf I was still on Twitter (or rather, if Twitter still existed) I probably would've posted something about Saturday's march.
