I am even more perplexed since the election. Dislike stereotyping, one group doesn’t win or loose the election, individuals make it a win or a loss. Unity is key to forward progress.

Israelis all have healthcare.29 Jun 2025 05:26 +0000at://did:plc:haaqd6pl3c32imisfcdn3syn/app.bsky.feed.post/3lspwnz5mzk2nhttps://bsky.app/profile/perflexed919.bsky.social/post/3lr6nokffpk24This is the most important thing to know. Say goodbye to checks and balances if the bill passes. Trump on his own, free to do whatever he wants without any fear of the courts. Since the legislature, both sides have been quiet about this, I guess they are ok with it. Does no elections = job security.
