I love respectful discourse. I am an elderly 3rd Culture Kid and a vintage feminist, a bit apprehensive about the way the world is turning.

LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD ON APRIL 5TH!!!!!! FIGHT FOR OUR DEMOCRACY!!!! www.mobilize.us/handsoff/

Are there any indivisible groups overseas. Some of us are living overseas due to various life circumstances, we are voters and we want to stay involved in what is happening back home.

Netanyahu 🇮🇱 is a wanted man. If he steps foot in Ireland 🇮🇪 he will be arrested and sent to The Hague. No delays. No equivocation. Ireland 🇮🇪 stands with Palestine 🇵🇸 🇮🇪 🤝 🇵🇸

Elon Musk is not only determined to infiltrate every level of the federal government, he’s coming after our local elections, too. We’re not going to let him get away with it. Pitch in if you can to help us stop Musk from buying the Wisconsin Supreme Court election: secure.actblue.com/donate/scowi...

It is sometimes said that 'a clown with a flamethrower still has a flamethrower'. The US is in the hands of sociopaths with chainsaws. Trump, Musk and RFK Jr will kill many thousands. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/27/h...

21 DOGE staffers resign rather than help use their technical expertise to “dismantle critical public services," according to a resignation letter obtained by the AP. Musk has largely tried to keep technical talent at DOGE, mostly laying off designers & product managers. apnews.com/article/doge...

BOOM! Bishop Mariann Budde has responded to her critics who told her to apologize to Donald Trump. “I am not going to apologize for asking for mercy for others.” Smash that repost if you agree she owes Trump ZERO apologies!! 🦋

bsky.app/profile/rlma... I really recommend Ricardo Levins Morales’ insight and artwork.

"Donald Trump's administration is lying to you." Gov. J.B. Pritzker slammed the White House for saying the freeze wouldn’t affect Head Start and Medicaid. This is how we do it. Call out Trump’s lies to the camera, bold, strong action. Hold him accountable, every single time.

Caroline Kennedy urges Senators to reject her cousin RFK Jr’s nomination “Bobby preys on the desperation of parents of sick children — vaccinating his own children while building a following by hypocritically discouraging other parents from vaccinating theirs,” www.nytimes.com/2025/01/28/h...

Let's be clear: the Medicaid portal went offline because of Donald Trump's orders. The only reason it is back on is due to outrage from the American people. Now, they are trying to lie about it. Medicaid was never taken away from Americans under President Biden.

Stop what you're doing & read this exceptional piece from @brennancenter.bsky.social's @mawaldman.bsky.social that explains how the pending SAVE Act will make it more difficult for Americans to vote, ending advances in online and mail in registration brennancenter.substack.com/p/restrictin...

Costco shareholders have overwhelmingly rejected an anti-DEI proposal as other U.S. companies retreat from their diversity policies

Another impersonator account popped up that is NOT us. Can you please help by reposting this and reporting them? 🙏💙 bsky.app/profile/call...

This billboard says it all.

ABC, NBC & CBS dedicated about 16 minutes of airtime last night to the California wildfires without once mentioning climate change. Since the news failed do it's job, here's a short summary of the role of climate change and wildfire risk: www.noaa.gov/noaa-wildfir...

President Jimmy Carter leaves a legacy unlike any other. Ceaseless in his service, unbending in his dignity, and revered for his commitment to our common humanity. He fought the good fight and kept the faith — and now he has finished his race. May his memory be an inspiration.

Remember the right-wing plot to sabotage Jimmy Carter’s re-election by urging Iran to hold American hostages longer? You don’t? It’s a shocking example of the American right’s treachery that more people should know about. (Gift link to 2023 NYT story.)

Donald Trump has yet to move back into the White House and already fissures are opening in his coalition, amid squabbling between Elon Musk and his Silicon Valley "tech bros" and his hardcore Republican backers.

I need someone to explain to me why it’s always “if you can’t pay rent, buy fewer lattes and avocado toasts” and not “if you can’t pay your employees a living wage, buy fewer yachts and real estate”. Explain it to me like I’m in kindergarten.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus nails it:

Our readers have their say on the Observer sale and this week’s strike action 👀 #savetheobserver 🙏🏻 www.theguardian.com/media/2024/d...

Barbara Kingsolver, author (🧵): “I am writing to express my solidarity with the journalists who are planning to strike over the sale and impending decimation of our beloved Observer.“

@jasmineforus.bsky.social Congresswoman Crockett, I just wanted to say how much I appreciate your fearlessness and your ability to so succinctly speak truth to power. Pease take care and fight on.

This is brilliant. #ASafeChoice
