The worst part of this extremely horrible day is reading the comments that are like "Get fucked Green Party. This is what you get for not reading instructions." We did everything right. We dotted our is and crossed our ts. We checked repeatedly. We got completely screwed here.

My father was drafted to Vietnam at 18 to fight a senseless war. He succumbed to lung cancer from agent orange our nation sprayed on our troops. The best way to honor him is to stop creating more veterans around the world by cutting off conflict fueling weapons sales/transfers.
This National Vietnam War Veterans Day, I’m reflecting on the service and sacrifice of the brave men and women from the Commonwealth who defended our freedoms in Vietnam.
Our end of the bargain is caring for them here at home—a sacred promise we've got to keep delivering on.

More than half of Pennsylvanians don't want fracking yet 95% of our legislature supports it. Why? Because fracking companies donate to both corporate parties in PA. Massive bipartisan support. Even Pittsburgh where fracking is banned is represented by multiple profracking Dems.

In 2016 Fetterman ran anti fracking tv ads. In 2022 he lied straight to our face on a televised debate saying he has always supported fracking. Not a peep from environmental community while the world continues to burn fueled majorly by our petrostate.
In 2016 you made a deal with the devil. You split the progressive vote in half between you and Sestack so the moderate McGinty could win (and then lose to Toomey). You lied in order to split the vote and protect the establishment so your career could advance.

If I were the PA Democratic party I would just not hold up mail-in ballots which I've designed my entire election strategy around for a bullshit lawsuit to kick another party off the ballot.
"The state's Democratic Party remains in court battling to keep the Green Party off the ballot. The pending legal dispute has led to a delay in certification of the November ballot..."
Democrats are delaying ballots being printed & mailed out.

Friendly reminder to take the bus if you can. It's better for traffic, for the climate, for your wallet, and more ridership drives better transit. Use google maps to see if a route exists for the trip you're making before defaulting to uber or driving.

55 years ago at the age of 18 my father was forced to go to Vietnam. There he was instructed to kill people who look like my mother. 45 years of trauma later he succumbed to lung cancer thanks to our government's decision to spray it's own troops with agent orange.

Missing my bus stop on McKnight by a single stop and then walking back to it was the closest to dying I've ever felt in Pittsburgh. This could have been me. Fuck the Ross Township police but doubly fuck them for trying to victim blame.
"She was not crossing along a crosswalk, Ross Township police Detective Brian Kohlhepp said."
This is shameful. There are literally no crosswalks anywhere on McKnight road. If you have to cross it by foot you need to cross it outside of a crosswalk.

In 2020 the democratic party claimed in court that almost every signature the Green Party gathered was fraudulent. They said that signatures I personally gathered were forgeries. We had to go through thousands of signatures by hand to prove they were real people. "democracy"
