Raising the debt limit $4 Trillion to give rich people tax cuts as they slash Medicaid and research to help babies with heart defects. While he gets a flying palace. ✈️ www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Panic attacks suck. #mentalhealth

#auspol thank goodness that the culture war stuff didn’t grab. Thanks Australia!

www.instagram.com/reel/DJICzQZ... @repstansbury going off in Congress. So worth a watch. Eloquently and passionately exposing the Republicans lies.

All those savings! #doge 🙄

Interesting reading the entire Trump article in @theatlantic.com that whilst his resurrection was catalogued in detail, no mention was made of the assassination attempts. Felt like a glaring hole in the story. I wonder why? #atlantictrumpstory

As a newly diagnosed AUDHD/CPTSD person, this describes me perfectly!

Well I guess #autismawarenessmonth is the perfect time to be officially diagnosed AUDHD with level one Autism. It turns out that the me I thought I was is melting and the authentic me is peeping out. #autism

@ragingmoderates.bsky.social @jessicatarlov.bsky.social I loved your chat with @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social but boy can he use 16 words when 5 would do. I love his personal stories but when he starts ‘explaining’ my eyes glaze over. Needs some extra media training stat

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

All those Republican cowards who’ve been so scared of Donald Trump are now realizing that they should have been afraid of their actual voters instead.

“The word ‘stillbirth’ never came up.” Many parents never hear about stillbirth until it happens to them. Our new documentary explores loss, healing and hope as it chronicles 3 mothers touched by the U.S. stillbirth crisis. Join us for a discussion about the film on Wednesday, April 2 at 4 pm ET ⬇️

@katiecouric.bsky.social interviewing Senator King from Maine. As an Aussie it was refreshing to watch someone who isn’t afraid to speak up and seems to really understand what’s going on! youtu.be/vwMA4i3MgPQ?...

Authoritarian checklist. I remembered I saved this last year. He doesn’t care that he’s ruining the economy, it’s part of the plan.

“American exceptionalism” (said in a sad, wry voice)

“They are literally the elites they pretend to hate”

bsky.app/profile/fore... interview with former US intelligence official Fiona Hill who worked in the first Trump administration and is a Russian scholar. Brilliant. youtu.be/GxfrJ5smAU8?...

They charged me $3 for an extra egg in my ramen 😭 are we great yet???

My thoughts on the orange evil one.

#sirdavidomand has an interesting take on Trump and Russia. He’s a visiting professor in the war studies dept at Kings college. It’s before todays shenanigans youtu.be/PJ64lx3tsmc?...

That’s what it looks like from Australia

Grateful for universal healthcare in Aust. Pathology, cardiologist, GP, orthotics arrived at the pain clinic. Amy out of pocket $0. It’s really costly buying meds for a chronic pain dx. I think people with lifelong illnesses should be able to have a health care card to mitigate. #medicareaustralia

youtube.com/watch?v=u49-... @therickwilson.bsky.social says it so well!

This is me! I always wondered why it’s so farking hard just to make a phone call! #audhd

@oliviajulianna.bsky.social 🙌🙌🙌 why do the rich or well known always think they won’t come for them? #transrightsarehumanrights

Squee! I wonder when this is coming to Australia? I’ll watch anything even remotely Jane Austen. (Except 2005 Pride & Prejudice, just awful and don’t come at me…1995 BBC series all the way 🙌) #dontletthemtakeyourjoy
