So then Elon goes "Kill the Bill!" and Trump goes "Elon has TDS!" so Elon goes "I'm the reason Trump won!" so Trump goes "we waste billions on Elon!" so Elon goes "Epstein!" and a corpulent flunkie goes "Deport Elon!" and Elon goes "Impeach!" And THAT'S why women are too emotional to be President.

NYT Jan 14, 2024. Hard to believe this was barely more than a year ago.

Human decency is not a radicalized idea. Showing compassion for others is not a radicalized idea. Wanting safety for others is not a radicalized idea. This should be the default of the human condition to be able to work together for the betterment of all, not just some.

Great news www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-a...

Immigrants fleeing horrors in their home country should be welcome here, not ziptied or shoved in the back of a truck while screaming that they can't breathe. Why is this radical?

If we don't talk about it, it's not real. Right? apnews.com/article/mode...

Dr. Annie Andrews is a pediatrician, a mom, and a lifelong advocate for kids’ safety! South Carolina families deserve a leader who will stand up to the gun lobby, not bow down to it. Let’s go! 💙 @drannieandrews.com @sapnakmd.bsky.social @drdrmaya.bsky.social secure.actblue.com/donate/drkg4...

Nailed it 🎯

Lots of people who feel opposed to the descent into authoritarianism are justifiably at a loss for where to start principled oppositional work. This, from @sifill.bsky.social – speaking here to new lawyers – is an example of a really beautiful, honest, manageable, and clear answer to that prompt.

As for many other things there is a German word for this, which is Führerprinzip.

The torrent of horrific news can be overwhelming Yesterday it was the House snatching food from kid’s mouths to give billionaires a tax break Today Trump attacked Harvard and fired half the NSC Who knows what tomorrow will bring Please-take care of each other We can get through this Together

It's simple, folks. Vaccines - good Babies dying from preventable disease - bad. The end.

Why are accepting this? Secret police?

The only two things that will get bigger and bigger are the wealth gap and the deficit. And there's nothing beautiful about hungry children or sick people without health insurance.

I’m horrified by the murder of two Israeli embassy staffers at an event in DC last night. The fact that the gunman said he did it to “free Palestine” makes me nauseous. Murdering people for their nationality is never acceptable and this violence hurts Jews, Israelis, *and* Palestinians.

GOP House big, UGLY bill passed with a 215-214 vote giving billionaires tax breaks, gutting 14 million Americans Medicaid & food assistance! GOP bill can be STOPPED in the Senate if 4 GOP Senators abstain or vote against it! If 1 word is changed, bill goes to the House & can be stopped in the House!

Fight Racism and Injustice everywhere!

As I was saying

🤷‍♀️ 🤔 Why am I constantly seeing pictures of bunnies here on Bluesky? I mean I like bunnies and all but

Journalistic malpractice.

I missed this when it came out last month but I can't recommend this long, dense, but ultimately hopeful article by @naomiaklein.bsky.social and @astra.bsky.social highly enough. Please take the time (10-15 well-spent min) to read, digest, and share. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Sure, let’s dissect the mental and physical acuity of the former president who sought to make lives in America better while minimizing the reality of a deranged arsonist dismantling the country we’ve known and loved. What a failure to meet this moment.
