Had an awesome time chatting with Jon Stewart & @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social talking about how to fight the dumpster fire. Gear up. It’s time to brawl.

Pretty wild that Elon’s debut as president elect was to strip funding for pediatric cancer research from the spending bill, only to watch the Senate have to pass it as a standalone bill. His first move was to fuck over kids with cancer.

The only thing stopping America is greed!

12 years since Sandy Hook and still, we're mourning lives lost to mass shootings. ➡️Over 1.2 million Americans shot ➡️480,000 killed by guns ➡️5,400+ mass shooting incidents. NO MORE "thoughts and prayers". We want action. Repeat after me: #EndGunViolenceNow

I'd totally have taken her up on the offer! 🥰 Good people need more good people in their lives!

I will forever love and respect this man. Bernie 2016. He should have been our nominee...

To a charity, my 🍑!!!

Not meaning to spread any new conspiracies or anything, but anyone else wonder if there might be a kinder, universal species who's coming here by drone to help us avoid absolute catastrophe? No one else? Just me? Cool. K. 😎

This is a heist. Trump and his billionaire buddies are planning to pillage us all. They aren’t keeping it secret. It’s literally the plan. It’s a con. They want “deregulation”. They want “free markets”. What does that mean? They get to cash out. We get to suffer.

White men make up 30 percent of America White men make up 100 of GOP leadership

Functioning democracies are cool.

REUTERS: “Trump wants to drop a car-crash reporting requirement opposed by Elon Musk’s Tesla… cripple government’s ability to investigate/regulate vehicles with automated-driving systems…” Elon already getting his money’s worth. Just the beginning. www.reuters.com/business/aut...

"The idea that the US university is a place of critical thinking, social justice, liberal arts, and making the world a better place is as false as the day is long." — #AJOpinion by @donaldearlcollins.bsky.social ⤵️

Wow. Really hitting our stride, aren't we?

TIME could have chosen as its #PersonOfTheYear: • the murdered journalists of Gaza • the murdered doctors of Gaza • the murdered nurses of Gaza • the murdered uni lecturers of Gaza • the murdered teachers of Gaza • the murdered women of Gaza • the murdered children of Gaza #GazaGenocide

👏🏽

The deep goal of bluesky is to decentralize the social internet so that every individual controls their experience of it rather than having it be controlled by 5 random billionaires. Everyone thinks they signed up for a demuskified twitter...we actually signed an exciting and bizarre experiment.

This is what Elon is offering America—and all he is offering. A return to America as a Robber Barony.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record. They run them bc people react to them the most. If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change. It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

Palestine and Palestinians are still being erased while we get distracted by the next shiny news story. Don't stop speaking up for human rights.

Shocking. How about the rich pay their fair share for once? Society would be much healthier.

ICYMI - As Trump-backing billionaires Musk, Ramaswamy, Andreesen telegraph an attack on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, @karaswisher.bsky.social @davidsirota.com @maxwellfrost.bsky.social @helaineolen.bsky.social & others point out it’s self-serving.

Happy Thanksgiving! Today is a good day to thank undocumented immigrants. 🦃 3/4 of them are essential workers vital to keeping our country running. They make up: 📌 23% of construction workers 📌 40%–55% of agriculture workers 📌 25% of food preparation & serving workers 📌 8% of healthcare workers

The meme I didn't know I needed

It's undoubtedly clear that the skills we needed as forming beings are at polarity to some of the skills many of us were brought up to thrive in. So how do we work to bridge the gap? More rational and linear thinking l, I believe, is required to ensure our kids grow up with wisdom and knowledge. No?

Hahahah. My sis would very much appreciate this! 😂 Too bad she doesn't do social media.

Please tag all images appropriately as being AI or not. Thank you.

I give thanks to our violated world, to the chemically poisoned and exploited of our lands, to those places which hold steadfast, to the reefs that are bleached, to diversity itself. We are nothing without you. Thank you. 💜

Never.

Damn. From @lesliemac.bsky.social: “Black women have always been at the forefront of America’s most transformative movements… It’s not for glory or recognition, but because we know the cost of inaction.” medium.com/@LeslieMac/i...

I have nothing to add. Please read:
