I absolutely love how well this illustrates how much good can be done at different levels of government, from the courts and executive branch to state and local initiatives. Yay for good governance!

Definitely starting to build up some! It's a neat vibe so far - very Twitter like if you can imagine a Twitter without reactionaries and bigots and everyone's still trying to be nice
