Bluesky isn’t what I hoped it would be. The comments are full of bots, and nobody can see my posts ever since I went after CNN for failing at their job. I’m taking a break.

You don't deserve to be shamed or punished for choices you made to survive-- physically, emotionally, economically or socially. Abusers & bullies keep us stuck by convincing us we need to "pay" for "choices" that weren't true choices-- but self harm or destruction is not justice.

This is, and always has been, the entire ballgame for Republicans: steal from poor and working people so billionaires can pay less in taxes. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/16/u...

As a Black liberal woman in Texas: If you’ve never taught, fundraised, organized, or tried to turn the tide in a substantial way in a red state: shut up and take notes from the people who have. A lot of you wouldn’t survive with your souls intact if you lived and worked here.

“U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley, an Iowa Republican, acknowledged that the United States can accept the gift…” I think Chuck needs to take another look at that emoluments clause.

Media folks going on now about "how Biden fucked us" - no THEY did. They went along with the ruse that "we don't primary an incumbant," blacklisting any other candidate and playing guardian of the establishment status quo. Blaming it all on Biden is a way of trying to sidestep their own complicity.

“I was hungry and you cut my SNAP benefits.” The same politicians who preach Christian values are the ones slashing programs that feed the poor. We may be atheists, but we know compassion beats cruelty — and feeding the hungry beats quoting scripture.

@mango-sauce.bsky.social Of course he did. I guess I know the response letter I’ll get: “Hey, if the president doesn’t have to pay for it, it’s ok!”

Never lose sight of how weird and corrupt it is for the president to have his unelected, unconfirmed oligarch friend—his biggest campaign donor—conduct US foreign policy. No other US president did that, and there’s no reason to think he’s representing the American people rather than himself.

What happened before Mayor Baraka’s arrest needs daylight. Did masked ICE agents let him in just so they could arrest and perp walk him to send a message of fear. Because that’s what it looks like. We’re sliding into fascism—and fast. And if we don’t stop it now, we may not get another chance.

This new Texas law copies anti-Jewish legislation in pre-war Nazi Germany. That legislation consisted of a series of restrictive laws passed in 1933, then the Nuremberg Laws of 1935. This is not an exaggeration.

Yesterday, GOP leadership told their members not to speak during a 14-hour “debate” on their plan to sell off public lands to fund billionaire tax cuts. 🤫 They couldn’t defend it, they just voted for it. That’s not leadership.

Rep. Nunn’s actions say let them eat cake! That’s why advocates flipped the script for his birthday, rallying against gutting SNAP to pay for tax breaks for billionaires. #Iowa

Behavior therapy will not change trans people to cis people for many reasons, least of which is because that’s not how behavior therapy works. I haven’t read the report yet but it wouldn’t surprise me if it’s written by AI.
