literally every time I talk to friends

This seems bad

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Freeland: Our retaliation is going to be a lot more surgical than that. We are going to go after American stakeholders who matter to The White House. I have proposed a 100% tariff on all Teslas. I am calling on all the countries that are affected by this tariff to join us

I sat down with @briantylercohen.bsky.social to talk about President Elon Musk’s illegal takeover of the federal government, and how we’re going to take on Donald Trump and the billionaire cabinet that bought this country. Watch the full thing here: win.dnc.org/BTC

Sincere props to a colleague who very obviously is doing his job well.

This is insane. Musk, the world's richest man, owner of the most influential political messaging platform, and a de facto government member and top ally to the president, is accusing a journalist of being a criminal, because she reported on one of his racist DOGE staffers. This is fascist behavior.

Germany learned the hard way.

DOGE is reportedly threatening NOAA with massive staff and budget cuts. NOAA houses the National Weather Service and National Hurricane Center, which produce forecasts and warn people about storms. This attack on public safety is ripped straight from the pages of Project 2025.

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

A techno-nazi has all our social security data. How's the rest of bluesky doing?

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare. Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.” We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Do you ever get the feeling that Earth gravity is...a bit much? Tripping and falling should not be as big of a deal as it is.

“A Hitler salute is a Hitler salute is a Hitler salute,” the prominent German weekly Die Zeit wrote in an editorial. Also, in related news, a clownish dick is a clownish dick. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/24/w...

Joe Rogan’s theory of politics being “I’m just a little podcast man who just asks questions” is starting to ring hollow even for some folks in his audience.

NEW: Israel announced on Jan. 25 that it will prevent Palestinians from returning to northern Gaza because Hamas violated the ceasefire agreement. Reuters reported that Hamas has recruited between 10,000 to 15,000 fighters since the start of the Israel-Hamas war. isw.pub/IranUpdate01... More 🔽

Can’t wait t’git my hands on nem cheap eggs!

No one has ever done this—TWICE—by accident. On camera. Before an international audience. Again, I've lived a long time. I have never done a Nazi salute. My parents, uncles, in-laws, etc would have gone berserk. I've seen this explained away as "autism." If so, keep him miles away from govt.

Cecile Richards, the former president of Planned Parenthood, has died at the age of 67 after a battle with brain cancer.

UnitedHealth found to have overcharged some cancer patients for drugs by over 1,000%

Well done RollingStone for reporting it accurately.

Land doesn’t vote. Stop pretending it does.

Dinner with Halle Berry was a good surprise. Talking about women’s health and menopause was powerful. She is funny, kind, and strong. Thanks @statesprojectus.bsky.social

Bluesky needs a verification system. This account uses my name, my avatar, my background image and my bio. It copies my actual posts as if it is me. The handle is my name with my middle initial -- which I use on Twitter. Please report. @marceelias.bsky.social

I was glad to be invited onto @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social this morning to talk about Syria. The show is one of the most important platforms in US politics. With Trump threatening to jail his critics, small d-democrats must stand together. I always speak freely without fear anywhere I appear.

If Americans were asked in a poll whether or not Biden should pardon the UHG CEO assassin, what do you think the distribution percentages would be? a) 90-10% b) 80-20% c) 70-30% d) 60-40% e) 50-50%

Facing criticism, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield said it will not proceed with a policy to put time limits on coverage for anesthesia during surgery.

BREAKING: Brian Thompson, CEO of United Healthcare, was shot and killed outside a Manhattan hotel in an apparent targeted attack, law enforcement official says

It's hard enough to impose civilian oversight upon the military if the civilian in question is intelligent, well-informed, hard-working, respected by public and Congress, and sober.

Woo hoo! #BlueSky #LetsGo 💯💥🫶🏼💙🇺🇸

We could go on about how we welcome publishers, we don't demote links, we encourage independent developers to build apps and extensions on top of Bluesky's network.... but instead, we'll show you. All thanks to the incredible community here! 🦋

Protests continue in the centre of Tbilisi. What we saw Friday night. Camera Anton Chicherov Producer @bentavener.bsky.social

I am such a believer in this. Down-ballot is the way. It’s also how we build a sustainable future of good leaders and infrastructure to elect and support them, as well as the movements they represent. We don’t just need strong candidates. We need strong organizers, managers, CoS, grassroots, etc.

Russian propagandists: "The imperial dream is something that unites our population. We all very are nostalgic, miss, and want Russia to be the empire it has been for centuries. There is no doubt in anyone's mind that we can't, as much as we'd like to, be a nation state. It is impossible."

I’m thankful for everyone using Bluesky, everyone building on atproto, everyone listening to our message and sharing our dream of a better social media ecosystem that puts people first. We’re going to do this together — thanks for joining us on this journey!

The ordinary people will suffer, but will destroy this second darkness.
