Hi. I'm not all the way here from Twitter. Would love to find the epi, science, long covid communities. So far the few people I have followed are those who posted handles on FB. So msg if this Nick's unfamiliar.

wow. Train?

My advice to Democrats would be to stop letting Republicans set the terms of debate, start making it clear you’re acting on principles instead of polls, and fire Rahm Emmanuel into the sun.

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

OMFG.

In a couple hours, and I've been wrong about where - it's on the Mall near Air and Space, so nearest Metros are L'enfant and Archives. It's also live streamed - Unite4Veterans.org Oh and they've got @dropkickmurphys.com

Reminder that there's a TON of stuff going on at @maydaymovementusa.bsky.social Screenshot of calendar at MaydayMovementUSA.org

Raise your hand if you’re not even a meteorologist and you still know there’s a hurricane season.

Not kind of. It’s completely insane. And it’s a reminder that the global economy is hostage to the whims of a guy who doesn’t understand how the global economy works

New poster for Veterans events in DC this weekend. There is also a ton more going on the weekend with World Pride and Cliff Cash. Parades, marches, rallies.

Not sure if @seth franzman is here on bsky, but here's a thread on yesterday's early coverage of the attack on mostly elderly folks supporting the still Hamas held hostages. It was a weekly silent march and the attacker announced his motives on video. threadreaderapp.com/thread/19293...

Yuuuuuup…

I missed about the injunction bonds. That's not a small thing at all.

Imagine if we hadn't had three dems die in office. This is another consequence of having such an ancient caucus.

"If you haven't been poor, don't legislate for the poor!" - @replsimon.bsky.social blasts the #BigBrutalBill. She notes the Capitol childcare workers make only $30K a year and challenges Republicans to go to a children's hospital and look in the faces of the kids they plan to let die.

SEIU is leading virtual phone banks today to call key districts and help constituents call their reps about the Big Brutal Bill: www.mobilize.us/seiuvotes/ev... There's other similar phone banks with other main issues (like the clean energy *ban* but it's all the same big brutal bill.

East steps. Some talk of singing. Some folks will be trying to attend the hearing if an escort to the hearing can be found. (I assume the reason the hearing is this late is so that it requires an escort to get to the PUBLIC hearing. No signs at hearing. Tee shirts fine.)

Double plus ungood

For over half a century, the National Weather Service has operated 24/7. But after the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency pushed to shrink the federal workforce, that’s no longer possible in parts of the country.

I really really wish these guys would include sources; use this as a start. Regardless, weather warnings are a lifesaver and we will have less of them.

I am playing a most fascinating role playing game here at May Day and I have just incapacitated or actually destroyed a cybernetic propaganda tower guard . . . with a fan dance. A companion earlier made an explosive throwing star out of 8 inch floppies.

Saturday especially is *hit the streets* day! Get your signs ready! Events and actions at: linktr.ee/revolution2025 from @drharmony.net Don’t forget about #TeslaTakedown Be safe, be loud. ✊ When your other events end, meet us at Mayday! Your 24/7 Impeachment Action Center!
